Avatar Battle Royale Discussion Thread XIV, The Random Kill Strikes Back. Again...

[Emperor Ing]

Would you add that ThePhantom guy to the H/H table?

He's been voting for a while now, but he isn't listed as a player atm.

has he really been here long enough to be considered a participant?

[Tiffanie Lirle]

He voted me, my hp went down.

I demand revenge!
Which is hard to get when his name isn't on the damned table!

[Emperor Ing]

He voted me, my hp went down.

I demand revenge!

Hey, look. Somewhere in your Programs files! There's an art program, and what's this? It has a template of you! And a template of some random dude in a robe! I got an idea! Why not make a pic of your template doing lethal damage to the modified random dude in robe template made to look like ThePhantom?

[Tiffanie Lirle]

I'm more or less talking about H/H points Rand, he's not actually a member of Abr so a random kill would be very unsatisfying.

[Green-Shirt Q]

Would you add that ThePhantom guy to the H/H table?

He's been voting for a while now, but he isn't listed as a player atm.

He's not in ABR though. Why would he be in the games? It's dumb. DUMB I SAY!

[Emperor Ing]

...
Can I kill you?

[Tiffanie Lirle]

Assuming we're talking about a drawn kill here, and not an actual one, then yes.

But seeing as I don't have a character atm, I wish you luck.

[Fawkes]

...
That is so very wrong.
For one, they're a subspecies of human, not cat. Two, Felix means happy and/or lucky. Fortunate would probably be the best word. Three, modern humans are Homo Sapiens Sapiens.
Taking all this into account, we're left with Homo Sapiens Felis, or possibly Homo Sapiens Sapiens Felis.
EDIT: Maybe replacing the Felis with Catus.
EDIT2: Homo Sapiens Sapiens Catus is probably the best.

Any further developments on this?

And Tiffanie? It's called Avatar Battle Royale for a reason.

[Emperor Ing]

Hey that was easy!

[Tiffanie Lirle]

And Tiffanie? It's called Avatar Battle Royale for a reason.

I forgot that little detail.

Hey that was easy!

I've seen better kills in low budget slasher movies!

[Emperor Ing]

I've seen better kills in low budget slasher movies!

Oh you're making me creative.
You won't like me when i'm creative.

[Tiffanie Lirle]

Do your worst!

I might actually become nervous in your presence.


Above: How I envision Rand.

[Green-Shirt Q]

Above: How I envision Rand

Me too.

[Fawkes]

Aww, he's adorable!

For the record, I laughed out loud.

[evil_d4_swarm]

Hi, does anyone here have Halo 1 for the PC? I want to know because I am going to be playing online in a moment and if you guys want to play, come on over.

I am listed as FEH.

[Fawkes]

I lol'ed at Keris' comic, too.

[evil_d4_swarm]

Who is the guy who threw the mutant vegitable at Keris?

[Tiffanie Lirle]

Keris's win comic has just won.

[Green-Shirt Q]

Keris's win comic has just won.

Indeed.

Well worth the wait.

[Keris]

Glad you people liked it. I wasn't sure if you would grasp the subtle underlying humour in the comic, but from your reactions you seem to have a decent understanding of British Humour.

[Lyinginbedmon]

Verily, I doth declare that Keris has won that encounter and should claim all the treasure and XP it should bring.

[DoomITP]

new comic up. Ignore the weirdness of the stroke in certain areas and the lack of mouths.

[Szilard]

I finally finished that SDSB comic I was making, it is in my latest post of the art thread.

[Tiffanie Lirle]

Oh come on Rand, is that the best you've got?

I've seen grimmer drawings by kindergartners.

@v That's sort of my point.

[Green-Shirt Q]

I've seen grimmer drawings by kindergartners.

That's not a really good insult. They draw some pretty wackey crap sometimes. When my son was that age he drew a picture of a skeleton shark eating a man on fire and it really scared the hell out of me.

[Emperor Ing]

[The Gremlin]

I don't get it.

[Fawkes]

I made a ridiculously silly message board game. Go here if you want to play "What is Mechafox eating?"

[memnarch]

Cool effects Shades of gray; could you tell me how you made them?

[Shades of Gray]

How to make my effects, by Shades of Gray. You better take notes, as there will be an exam on Friday.

Well using Inkscape I made a gradient effect. (press Ctrl-F, go to Fill, click on the gradient button, the burst or the fade from left to right), then I made a gradient with three colours, red, orange, and yellow.

Then I drew a shape:

I then copied and pasted it a buncha times, rotated them, and ended up with this:

Next, I used the "Union" tool to make it one shape, Ctrl-G would also work.

I then removed the stroke paint. It is at this point I used the gradient in a burst effect.

Then, I altered the nodes to make them a bit elongated, I made one extremely elongated

Finally, I added a little blur, and a blurred out gradient circle behind it.


For the dark Ice, I drew a shape:

Made a gradient:

Finally, I applied the gradient in a burst, removed the stroke, and blurred it a bit.

Edit: Once you have the basics down, you can play with it a little. By using similar techniques, I made this (Very Screen-stretching)
