Out of Pod Experience

Eevee.

I could never let you go

XOXO (HQ version here)

thanks

two swords... japanese? all samurai wear two swords (i learned that watching 47 Ronin)

flare (pieces of, 35 each),
swords
candy out the armor plates
give her some kind of shirt or buffer between herself and that chest plate.... and...

oh yeah. some type of super cool gauntlets.

possibly a gem around her neck, dunno yet.

armor scars, mirror boobs (mediafire)

Nice work

I started circling a few things I had strong feelings about and I got carried away. I circled stuff in red if I didn't like it or it was bugging me, and I circled it in green if I thought it was particularly impressive. If it's circled multiple times in green, it just means there are miltiple things I liked about it. If it's not circled it doesn't mean I felt indifferent--it may just be similar to something else I already circled.

I'm sorry I dissed the hair you said you love, Loco, but I had to be honest here. But as with everything in red, don't use my opinion as a final decision on whether or not to leave it in. I mmight dislike something because I'm not looking at it right or because I don't understand the reasoning behind it, or because it's a WIP. I tried to avoid circling WIPs.

oh dude, feedback is awesome.

there are some changes coming up, most of the red circles are addressed. the funny thing about the hair is what changed: only the background. if you look closely at the hair, you'll see a lot of blue in it, picked straight from the original background to help it blend/that's why it did. darkening the background made the hair stand out, and i'm leaving the hair for the very end when i know what colors and brightnesses are in the picture.

about the scars across the belly: those gaps are the joints of the torso, and those slats are overlapping like shingles. looking at it again, however, i realize I made the form of them rectangular, when their bottom edges could/should taper to an edge. that would probably look better and render better.

Eevee, european broadsword is a good choice. it will look nice.

thanks again for the feedback, i liked that.

ah and the scratches, those will be colored and blended. I avoid highlighting with white as a rule, and those lines are just placeholders for brightness.

//lol yeah that one missing spike, i kept noticing it and putting it off.

Eevee's mention of game of thrones changes some things, makes some decisions for me... in a great way. you'll see.

quoted for posterity

Eevee might have to give up a hip plate to accomodate that sword, is that ok

i'm putting the shoulder thing back, i just had it off to uh. um. do the chest. yes. (stance because/temporary )

what do you think of this sort of dragon gauntlet?



the hip plate can stay if the sword is buried in something, like a bad guy. i'd like to have the metal shiny and blue in the light... what do you think

(that is such a huge sword, how is she going to swing it?)

---

question: how does one carry that sword... lol. is there a correct way for her to wear it

the hip plate can go. seemed sort of too spiky to be safe with me wearing it as it was =p. you can feel free to scale the sword down more appropriate to my size. i't just worn on the hip with a belt and sheathe i believe. the dragon gauntlet looks very cool.

This is just looking epic. Nicely done Loco!

HEY GUYS

dammit 7 leaving caps lock on

hey guys, i'm going to nap, it may be a full 8 hours this time, if i'm lucky
