The slow grafix revamp

[Dioxine]

The first one is classy, it can be also used to replace hairdo #15 after recolor. The second hairdo... wtf?

[niculinux]

Hey Bloax. would you please make a picture for the humanist activist in the bootypedia, ince it is still missing? See here

[Bloax]

Well yes, all I need to know is what their color scheme and theme is.

Not playing a game does bite you in the ass some times, but fortunately that's pretty normal in game development so it's not like it's news to me.

The second hairdo... wtf?

Well truth be told that armor is really bad for showing off hair, but I really liked how the hair and red eye went along with it.

[Bloax]

Diablo 2 is very captivating, who could have thought?


Merry christmas and happy pigtails.


Now I need to get off my D2-playing ass and make some more armors.

[Dioxine]

Noice.
And yeah, I think I myself wasted like 10x more hours on D2 than D1 or D3...

[DracoGriffin]

Yes, you do Bloax! Don't get spooked because of the response you got, be glad we are rabid fans that are ravenous when it comes to new art!

I expect to see many more armors on my desk by tomorrow morning, Peter Parker!

[Bloax]

I live off response to my shit since things that matter for myself carry just about no weight in my life for whatever reason.

With that said, I decided to do something I wanted to do since the start;

Use Gross Hacks to make an actual forcefield belt.
Looking strange? Well, that's because the gross hacks are based on a black background;

Much better, innit?

[Dioxine]

I like the idea, and it came out really cool, too Not related - really need more bra models, this one, with that huge brooch, is 'love it or hate it' (which is exactly right for Pirates), but if someone hates it, they should have a choice of other models

Oh yeah and that 'snake belt' is fluffy too, as it follows Church's colors. But maybe... maybe there should be more violet glow on the belt as well, to make it more stand out (and tell the viewer that the flying glowy things are related to it)

[Bloax]

I didn't make a glow because a glow is *really* hard to convey in such a busy environment.

and yes i need more bras

[Bloax]

What's next?
you fuggen know it



Dang this looks like a job for Mr. Postmortem pencil detailing, a lot of the small shadows (like the top shadow of the diagonal belt) have been nuked.

(obligatory dubble post lel)

[Dioxine]

Hmm, looks very thin... not like something which would give any sort of protection...

[Bloax]

Well I am keeping things somewhat frisky, and you can't really make a relatively thick (nothing truly follows the body contour, especially the pants) leather suit much thicker with all of this patchiness and wrinkliness going on. And even then, it's not like this is more than one of the lowest tiers of armor.

I'm sure there will be plenty of things to make big, thick and bulgy.

[Dioxine]

Poor wording on my part, my bad. The Warrior armor is very heavy and inflicts major movement penalties, since it offers some real protection despite being made of crappy materials. Not to mention all the ammo pouches which make it even bulkier. My inspiration there was Gears of War (except in my design, the metal parts are crappier and hidden between the layers of leather).

It's not like the drawing sucks, because it is really cool... but I'd have to make a 'warrior lite' armor for this look to fit stats (which I can totally do - the limitation is the number of paperdolls, so if there IS a good paperdoll, I can make a suit to match it... some sort of early fire-protecting armor? Maybe with a welding mask added...?). If we go this route, maybe get rid of the knee armor (it looks weird since there is no metal anywhere else on this armor), maybe in favor of more studs? And the thighs look strange. Why does the leather bulge so much around the hip joints? Looks like a space suit or a Stillsuit (would be totally appropriate there)

[Dioxine]

Yeah. That looks tougher!
