Some may have noticed that I've removed Shadowlings from the vote. I did this due to their extreme fantastical nature. They'll be added back on if icastflare! review them and propose something that doesn't have its origins on "magic".
Rules for voting:
You will be able to chose six of the above factions. You are not forced to vote for six, if you only vote on one that is your right, but at least six will get by this first stage (unless there is a huge commotion to change this).
You CAN'T vote to a race/faction/species that is your own creation.
The votes will be up for a week, after that we will use the six races/factions/civilisations with more votes.
Anyone can vote. If you wasn't part of the creation of any species/faction you can still vote.
Time remaning for votes: 0 days

The Ablinai: 1

1) The Unpronounceables -- er, the Krashningrions.
2) The not-Quarians (nomad people that lost their planet).
3) The enslaved aliens (They look like self-conscious orcs. :P).

Well not so much as other people do like it that I don't like it. It's just that some of my friends are way too addicted to it. Seriously, if you compare my addiction to this forum compared to their addiction to TvTropes... it's not pretty. I'm sure they would even stop eating if their parents didn't force them. And it gets tiring to not be able to say hi to them in passing without hearing atleast 2 TvTrope related topics.
So ya, I'm not against it in general, just what it can sometimes do to people.
Re: Our Comic Lab in the Playground: An experimentation class
Alright. This is a more detailed explaination of my 3D cave entrance.
First, we start with a blank background like so.
Then we take the mouth of the opening and place it where we want the opening to be on the panel. To make the cave mouth, make sure that one side of the mouth is higher than the other.
Now we put the bottom ground over the cave opening.
Then we make the ground into a path by pushing the "Convert object to path" button. Several nodes should appear and you should move them so that you hav a slanted angle with a slight tail fitting into the cave opening. Here's an example without the opening.
If all goes well, you should have an outcome like this.
You may need to practice this to really get the hang of it though.

Time zones don't really come into it. I actually checked this, between Methos saying that he'd give it "three more days" and when he started calling for votes, there was a 2 days, 19 hours and 4 minutes interval. This is, of course, less than three days.

So sorry
Feel free to add your concept to the vote until tomorrow

Re: Our Comic Lab in the Playground: An experimentation class
I really need to give the slave race a name: how does Klinacio sound, it wouldn't be their word but a word in another launguage. Some kind of clicking sound doesn't really make the best sounding name. Im not very good at names, just thought they needed one

Hrm...How about the Nakessh (Knack-E-shh). I'll try to design them later.

Re: Our Comic Lab in the Playground: An experimentation class
Got my idea for a faction drafted, might try and come up with some images later.
H2.0
Spoiler
The members of the H2.0 faction are human, at least they were originally so. As medical technology increased, it eventually overtook the efficiency of the biological body in some areas. Seeing the opportunity, some people began voluntarily replacing healthy parts of their body with "superior" components. Because of this, they often refer to themselves as trans- or posthumans, and the collective monitor of H2.0 — Humans 2.0 — reflects this.
The amount of augmentation a given H2.0 might have varies greatly, even within the small communities they tend to form. One person might have artificial legs or arms nearly indistinguishable from those of a normal human, another might have a body entirely crafted from gleaming chrome, and a third might have chosen organic components, and might resemble a fantastic creature from mythology, such as a centaur or mermaid.
As time progressed, and minor augmentation became more and more commonplace in those who suffered accident, or simply wished to be immune to any number of harmful microorganisms, the technophiles of H2.0 became more and more extravagant. There exist people so far from the norm that they're entirely different beings. Minds uploaded into clouds of tiny robots, shared bodies and hivemind networks are not so out of the ordinary within a H2.0 community, and thanks to the advanced components within them, many can claim to be immortal, so long as the power holds out.
Within the current age of space travel and exploration, many H2.0 have taken to the stars, adapting their bodies to the worlds they find, instead of resorting to clumsy terraforming.

Re: Our Comic Lab in the Playground: An experimentation class
Can someone describe how to make the the Disintegrate effect on targets? How would it look on inanimate objects?
EDIT:@V: But, how do I do that? 'Cuz i'm like, thinking about drawing the character but use the drawing tool instead of lines for the limbs, outline the whole thing, then i'd delete the lines on the inside, color the fill off-yellow and add in the skeleton

What Rich does is have a skeleton of the character in the same place over the character template which is all colored off-yellow. What I personally do is just select the whole character file and Invert the colors. Note: Disintegrate is ALWAYS a green beam. However wether or not it's a thin green line or a Dragon Ball Z-esque energy blast is up to you.
On inaminate objects I think my method of inverting colors would work better.
