Okay - 6 pages of pics to go through. No problem. I am aspiring to more Xetirox-like comments! He is truly awegreatstandingesque! :P

Spike - your ice elf & her story are both very intriguing. You're close to release on her? How comes Luna's race? If Luna came out, I might actually have to try a companion . . . . Your ice elf looks great angry! Is this still the Ice Elf? Love the pic - very (again) intriguing! I *knew* I didn't trust those damn guards! If they hurt a Spike character, Kisa's gonna hafta go kick some guard ass . . . .

Shadow' - Thanatos Chaos & Nihili are nice pics. Where'd you get the shiny-tattooed female dremora body? Is that the alpha-corwyn version? The "dark ritual" shots were a bit too busy for me - could just be my eyes, but I couldn't quite get what was going on. LOVE this shot! And while I usually love black & white, the colors in the background in these shots are so effective (not too busy) that I really would have preferred the "die" shot to be in color, too. If you want to make a really good dremora face, I would recommend opening up your playable dremora mod (whatever mod gives you that race) & using the "reset face" button in the cs. It'll give you an easier starting place. Can't necessarily fix neck line issues, but you could always use the collars from goth shop ii to cover the neckline. Ah, the classic Shadow' romantic shot! :Bow: You truly are one of the masters!

OldManPoo - I kind of like the over-bright & super-sharp look of your pics, but perhaps you could post some un-edited, half-edited & full-edited versions of the same shot? I agree with greatfool1, better too bright than too dark. Note: if you do post a picture-story explaining your name, I will *not* be commenting on it - because then I'd have to read it! Ewww! :P Hey, at least it isn't doublemeat palace - they outfit's a little more flattering! GREAT group shot - love the brightness of it. Just right. Another great group shot of villians! Though I guess I don't watch enough horror flicks - the pumpkin just reminds me of Jack Pumpkinhead from the Oz books.

Luchaire - Love the photoshopping job on your first pic of Suni on the first page. It actually does really make the picture - the unphotoshopped one does suffer in comparison. Suni is a very unique character - definitely has that "Luchaire" touch. I like this effect, but something about the off-centeredness of it or the suggested motion to the right bothers me, makes me want to crane my neck around or something. However, that's probably just me. I do really like the effect on this shot - though it's a perfect example of how great Xetirox's comments are. I've not the eye to see the difference there in the blurring, or even tell if you've reuploaded it or not! But I really like the framing & the light effect. re: Merelith - She's my fav of your characters yet! Maybe I just have something for the goth look, tho not in my own life. If you're really wanting true gothesque, it's hairstyle 1. Hairstyle two does look good, though - reminds me a bit of Chiana from Farscape, though she doesn't really look like her. How'd you get the lips purple like that? If you're going with hairstyle one, you might want to see if you can pull the brows up a bit - they're kind of overshadowing her eyes right now, or it feels like it to me. But that's just my very minor suggestion. Nevermind - you already did just that! :P Oh, and that shininess? Happens even with bloom. :P Ran into it a few times my own self.

highpressure - This has probably already been asked & answered, but what's the red outfit here? The opal outfit's nice, but that red&black just fits her better. Oh, and finally some shots of a male hottie! Love the edge effect of the lighting in this one. Aah, now we're talking! This jumping-over-the-enemy shot is spectacular! And hey, at least now I know who I have to kill to get that outfit. Love her walking out in her new duds at the end. ;) The outfit comes with a backpack? *LOVE* this shot - *very* epic feel - perfect coloring, perfect lighting, perfect pose! The light on the sword here - is that photoshopped?

VanQa - Love the "perfect shot" shot! I particularly like the lighting in your shots - I think major motion picture stars would kill to have the lighting your characters get! *muttering to self - MUST go read Gwen's story! Must go read . . . . * Very nice action shot! Note to self: READ GWEN'S STORY!

SeV - Okay, you have to say step-by-step what you did to get the eyebrows like that. Every little detail, because I'm certain it was very scientific, right? :P My fav of these first set of shots is actually this one - I like the greyness of the background with the full color of Avalon up front. On the photoshop-fun post, this shot looks like an album cover to me. I love the pose & look in the second shot; the third shot is a little too all-over blurred for my taste. I like this one - Av is so pretty!

chiglet - Mia prays
is my fav of these first shots - the lighting is dramatic without being too dark, sort of soft, and her expression is perfectly captured. Love the glowing flower in the front right edge of the shot - I love foreground! In the flame atronach shots - the flaming chick shows up great, but I can barely see the other characters. Maybe just my screen?

floydian1 - LOVE this shot of the dragon in armor - beautiful lighting, love how it catches the front edge of the armor. Sapphire was gorgeous right from the start, but I really love her new blond look. She reminds me of some celebrity, but I can't quite put my finger on who. I've really enjoyed your shots of Pip - she looks great at your high settings! Wonderful pensive shot! - and, not so pensive! Beautiful lighting in this one - very warm! Now this is the look on Sapphire I really like - the blond curlier hair really suits her! Not so sure about the black luster armor, though - it looks a bit hard on her. LOVE her in the opal armor though! It perhaps looks best on her. "Trying to look sexy" - hah! There is no "try"! I really wish I could place whom she looks like. Even tho she looks great in that golden lighting, this is one of my fav shots of Sapphire. Now that's a walk! - The girls on America's Next Top Model should take notes! White clothes, white hair, blue water, blue eyes - very effective shot.

Kimory - A Kelta (great name, btw) story! Yay! I'm kinda sad she lost her wings, but that'll all be explained, right? Good job! "Kelta the Hawk Type Person" - :lol: ! I like the shot of her on the road - but the black text against the road is almost unreadable. Nice last shot there of the sword on the table. Nice shots here - dark but I can still see your character. I like her expression in the Tenacious D-reference shot, though I am apparently now too old to get such references. :P

greatfool1 - :ROFL: What an honour for Hector to have his shots immortalized in greatfool1 fashion! Poor IGHector - I fear he & Layla are just not meant to be. I'm sorry if Pip played any part in the dooming of their romance -- you know she's more interested in gold than in men! Because your stories are so funny, I tend to forget the skill used in making the screenshots - the lighting here, for instance, is wonderful - and the angle is very effective.

Soul_Slayer - This first one made me think "Ninja lunch break"! :lol: Both are great shots - the second one, close-up of your character, really pretty - especially the eyes. This shot doesn't do a lot for me - perhaps a different angle, where I could see her eyes/face better? From below, with that mask, there's not a lot of *character* there, but maybe that's just me. Love the lighting in the next two shots - gives her skin a beautiful golden glow. The lens flare actually distracts me here - perhaps because it overlaps directly on your character? And hey - now everyone has their own individual custom tattoos! Or are there really that many different tattoo mods released? Very nice action capture with the cat-fighting shot, but I love the brightness of this one through the nirnroot leaves. I really like the coloring in this shot. Jasmine is beautiful - your work really paid off! Even the side view is attractive, without overly-pouty lips or an oddly too-long or too-short nose. Very effective angle on this one - love the shot throught the bars. I also really liked the shot of her running across the water, with the ripples behind her. NO, wait - this is the good running on water shot! I don't know about calling an assassin cute, but I would here. Unfortunately, the other shots are a bit too dark for me.

Treetop Smoker - Nice lighting on your character in these first shots - like how she's lit up against a dark background. This shot is very nice - love the lighting in this whole series, but something about the red/black against a brown cave background really pleases my eyes. OK, I really have to know what this black/red armor is! I'm gonna hafta read through this whole comments thread again, see if that's mentioned. In these shots, she has that really big sword but seems kinda sad. Uh-oh, I sense an invasion coming . . . . Yes, that's a mighty big sword she has there. ;) Love the pose in this shot. Ooh - great shot! However, once again she's pressing her bare skin up against his hard armor! (And not in a good innuendo kind of way!)

Cyborg - Liked the last two shots especially ("Oh Yes - I like it here") - but the inspecting the grounds shots could perhaps have been edited to just one shot. "A mysterious castle in the mountains" has a nice light effect. This shot is great - nice use of foreground with a great sky captured in the distance. I like the skyline here, but your character could perhaps "pop" a bit more. This is a very nice shot - the snow's a great addition! :P I like the lighting/brightness effect in all these shots. Nice swimming shot - I may have to check out this house.

Die 75 - Love the lighting in the first three shots, and the mustardy-golden grasses are a great backdrop for that armor. The "Happy Monkey" shot is a bit too dark on my computer. I know you've posted some Basho shots in the Possibles page, do we have a close-up of him in there? He's such a unique character!

Hector - Thank you so much for those retextures! The red is absolutely great. Pink's a little too - light? something - for my taste, but all of them do actually look like leather to me. :new_thumbs: Kisa loves her red amazon outfit!

Cosmic-Banana - The "welcome to cyrodiil" shot is great! Love the right-foreground-ness of the ordinator-armored guy! Oblivion's my first TES game, so I don't know lore or Morrowind mods - apparently the ordinator guy is well-known? LOVE this shot! Almost looks like it's from a movie. Great lighting on the "night travel" shot, but that second one just has something. She does look a bit familiar, but I can't quite place her. I think Hector's comments are right on - she's very pretty, a bit of tweaking as you get her out in the game world & she'll be gorgeous!

Chimera - I prefer Rhianna version 2. :) She's got a very pretty face, but something about the hairline/height of the hair in version 1 is odd to me. And Serena's looking great! I personally preferred the darker-skinned earlier version, but that's just my opinion.

JazzJR - Some of the shots about entering SI are a bit dark for me - but love this one. And, WOW, you've really got the fur right! That looks incredible! Even though it doesn't show any catness, one of my favorite JazzJR shots. The next one's just too dark for me - strains my eyes. But the last one, though dark, is okay.

Grimbot - Wish I had something useful to say - but I just love your screenies! Cinematic, full of character & emotion & fun! By the way, you're welcome to post many more to the possibles page - just keep it at 2 pics/post - double/triple posting allowed! (See cyborg's posts below yours on page 1 - that's just fine!) GREAT action capture!

Zombie216 - Elune's great - kinda anime, with lots of character! I like her. BTW, thanks for the reply about the tattoos - I grabbed them & they're *excellent* work! Didn't end up fitting with the character I finally made - plus I went for the blue skin of the dark elf - but I was very impressed! Highly recommended to those who aren't making their own tattoos. Wow - you really *are* very good at this! I know you've probably resized for CI, but can you post a bigger & closer-up shot? OH, er, uh - it could be that you haven't seen the "options" for photobucket uploading - I'm sure someone'll post a screen of it, but right above where you browse to your images to upload them there's a small blue "options" link. I like Elune's new look too - perhaps some brighter screens? My only thought is that her hair color could be a bit more vibrant.

{Page 3! Yay!}

Ryu Doppler - "The staredown or how I hate interviews" - :lol: great caption! I really like your character - he seems very "bard'"-ish, a nice break from the warriors/paladins or murderers we usually get. The "so this is it" shot (not linked due to the spoilery nature you warned of) - very great shot! Love the backlighting of the scene. In fact, all three of those shots were excellent - very good use of lighting/outlining your character. It helps that with that hat, your character has a unique outline! Very nice action capture here - I like the zombie that's right up against the camera.

Karandras - didn't look amateurish to me! Better than I've done with my little gimp install. I am, however, beginning to think gimp is seriously, uh, gimped. But great comic-book-esque effects! Wait - so in your storyline (big question here) - you actually *help* the guards kill the assassins? Man, my characters always just hang back & wait to loot the bodies! :P Really like the effect you used, but could it be a tad less strong? It feels like a bit too much of the detail of the pictures is lost. I REALLY like your dark elf - I have some unexplained thing for blue skin - and those are very nice action shots! Love the white armor on her darker-than-normal skin!

sanityCheck - I think the colors of the sorceress outfit really fit Enarin! Revealing, yes, but that black with the shiny golds looks good on her.

Daiyoukai Ramza - Interesting series of shots there - but having a winged character commit suicide by jumping off a tall building seems a bit odd. Very nice action capture here - these shots are nicely moody, with the greys & then the orangered fire in the back.

MystykStar - Love this shot - great lighting, like the framing a bunch - the straight-on shot really is dramatic here. I like your character - this is going to sound like an insult, but it really isn't - she's "plain" but in a really great way! Looks a bit like a real, everyday warrior. Very pretty, but not too sculpted or with too stylized a hairdo.

Yorkmaster - I like this "home sweet home" shot - but I felt like it needed something *not* red somewhere in it. GREAT shot! Really highlights that great face texture! Idris is beautiful! Love the eye color.

FluCidity - Have you finished your tattoos? I am still astounded by that work. Your character looks nice in that video - but it was a little too "hand-held camera" for me - jerked around a bit (not that I could do any better :P ) - but even TV shows that use that method too much give me a headache, so it's probably entirely just me. Or could be just how Youtube shows up on our system. It seems like everytime I see the tattoos, they're different and better!

Xetirox - This is a great scenery shot! Does make me want to go for a swim, or would if I wasn't very tired & pretty cold. :P BTW, perhaps the first shot where that skeleton-dog actually looks cute!

trollf - Oooh! Trollfy goodness! Or should that be trollfesque?

Hector - Very nice work on the slideshow! I'm really liking IGHector in his new duds. The shot of him holding the cane up with the light effect coming from it is a new fav.

Rumms' work is the definition of awegreatstandingesque! I fear she'll now be flooded with requests for specially commissioned portraits of pc's - hmmm, better finish up Kisa so I can get mine in early . . . . :P

ha-HA! Caught up - for the moment.

Spike - your ice elf & her story are both very intriguing. You're close to release on her? How comes Luna's race? If Luna came out, I might actually have to try a companion . . . . Your ice elf looks great angry! Is this still the Ice Elf? Love the pic - very (again) intriguing! I *knew* I didn't trust those damn guards! If they hurt a Spike character, Kisa's gonna hafta go kick some guard ass . . . .

Thanks :)

That roof top shot is the hooded lady from the Bloated Float. The two races are almost done. I got most of it done last night just trying to find out the best why to do the wolf summon spell and I will be done. :D

Thank you kind lady. :cheers:

The downside to her eyes is she has to make sure no one witnesses her working, her eyes are rather unforgetable after all.

I put the tattoo on her, I just liked the way it looked.


Rumpleteasza, that pic of Jade is wonderful, you are very talented. :cheers:

Great shots gang, keep 'em coming.

Thanks Kalia-bear ^_^ Now that I look at it, I can't take credit for the eyebrows. I just looked at them in PS and they're actually already thin and sharp in the texture, so full credit goes to CapsAdmin for that :Bow:

I actually feel bad about displaying Avalon, as there's very very little I can take credit for in her creation :(

Rumms - not just the description - now your work is the definition!

trollf - see what you've started? :P

I see. So, I think I must make an account on wiki and add some explanation of the new term in case when somebody would want to ask...
Something like this should be fine, me thinks:


Awegreatstandingesque -
A phrase commonly used in modern times to describe all works done by an artist known as Rumpleteasza. There is no such a single word in any language that could match her awesome, great and oustanding talent. In such a case the new and appropriate term was invented.

Here is one of the examples of awegreatstandingesque style: Jade.

Is there anyone who want to add something to this? ^_^

Thanks. I never was much of a fan of that body mod, though.

OldManPoo - I kind of like the over-bright & super-sharp look of your pics, but perhaps you could post some un-edited, half-edited & full-edited versions of the same shot? I agree with greatfool1, better too bright than too dark. Note: if you do post a picture-story explaining your name, I will *not* be commenting on it - because then I'd have to read it! Ewww! :P Hey, at least it isn't doublemeat palace - they outfit's a little more flattering! GREAT group shot - love the brightness of it. Just right. Another great group shot of villians! Though I guess I don't watch enough horror flicks - the pumpkin just reminds me of Jack Pumpkinhead from the Oz books.


Thanks. That sets the record for longest comment ever received. I would post some unedited or half-edited versions of my screenshots, but I think I may have deleted them (not a good business practice, I know).

And don't worry, I'll post my picture story (with attached images of course) in a nice, large font so you can't help but catch a few glimpses of the meaning behind my name :devil:.


Rumpleteasza, great illustration. I wish I could do that.

If they hurt a Spike character, Kisa's gonna hafta go kick some guard ass . . . .

Shadow' - Thanatos Chaos & Nihili are nice pics. Where'd you get the shiny-tattooed female dremora body? Is that the alpha-corwyn version? The "dark ritual" shots were a bit too busy for me - could just be my eyes, but I couldn't quite get what was going on. LOVE this shot! And while I usually love black & white, the colors in the background in these shots are so effective (not too busy) that I really would have preferred the "die" shot to be in color, too. If you want to make a really good dremora face, I would recommend opening up your playable dremora mod (whatever mod gives you that race) & using the "reset face" button in the cs. It'll give you an easier starting place. Can't necessarily fix neck line issues, but you could always use the collars from goth shop ii to cover the neckline. Ah, the classic Shadow' romantic shot! :Bow: You truly are one of the masters!

OldManPoo - I kind of like the over-bright & super-sharp look of your pics, but perhaps you could post some un-edited, half-edited & full-edited versions of the same shot?

Though I guess I don't watch enough horror flicks - the pumpkin just reminds me of Jack Pumpkinhead from the Oz books.

Luchaire - Love the photoshopping job on your first pic of Suni on the first page. It actually does really make the picture - the unphotoshopped one does suffer in comparison. Suni is a very unique character - definitely has that "Luchaire" touch. I like this effect, but something about the off-centeredness of it or the suggested motion to the right bothers me, makes me want to crane my neck around or something. However, that's probably just me. I do really like the effect on this shot - though it's a perfect example of how great Xetirox's comments are. I've not the eye to see the difference there in the blurring, or even tell if you've reuploaded it or not! But I really like the framing & the light effect. re: Merelith - She's my fav of your characters yet! Maybe I just have something for the goth look, tho not in my own life. If you're really wanting true gothesque, it's hairstyle 1. Hairstyle two does look good, though - reminds me a bit of Chiana from Farscape, though she doesn't really look like her. How'd you get the lips purple like that? If you're going with hairstyle one, you might want to see if you can pull the brows up a bit - they're kind of overshadowing her eyes right now, or it feels like it to me. But that's just my very minor suggestion. Nevermind - you already did just that! :P Oh, and that shininess? Happens even with bloom. :P Ran into it a few times my own self.

highpressure - This has probably already been asked & answered, but what's the red outfit here? The opal outfit's nice, but that red&black just fits her better. Oh, and finally some shots of a male hottie! Love the edge effect of the lighting in this one. Aah, now we're talking! This jumping-over-the-enemy shot is spectacular! And hey, at least now I know who I have to kill to get that outfit. Love her walking out in her new duds at the end. ;) The outfit comes with a backpack? *LOVE* this shot - *very* epic feel - perfect coloring, perfect lighting, perfect pose! The light on the sword here - is that photoshopped?

VanQa - Love the "perfect shot" shot! I particularly like the lighting in your shots - I think major motion picture stars would kill to have the lighting your characters get! *muttering to self - MUST go read Gwen's story! Must go read . . . . * Very nice action shot! Note to self: READ GWEN'S STORY!

SeV - Okay, you have to say step-by-step what you did to get the eyebrows like that. Every little detail, because I'm certain it was very scientific, right? :P My fav of these first set of shots is actually this one - I like the greyness of the background with the full color of Avalon up front. On the photoshop-fun post, this shot looks like an album cover to me. I love the pose & look in the second shot; the third shot is a little too all-over blurred for my taste. I like this one - Av is so pretty!

chiglet - Mia prays
is my fav of these first shots - the lighting is dramatic without being too dark, sort of soft, and her expression is perfectly captured. Love the glowing flower in the front right edge of the shot - I love foreground! In the flame atronach shots - the flaming chick shows up great, but I can barely see the other characters. Maybe just my screen?

floydian1 - LOVE this shot of the dragon in armor - beautiful lighting, love how it catches the front edge of the armor. Sapphire was gorgeous right from the start, but I really love her new blond look. She reminds me of some celebrity, but I can't quite put my finger on who. I've really enjoyed your shots of Pip - she looks great at your high settings! Wonderful pensive shot! - and, not so pensive! Beautiful lighting in this one - very warm! Now this is the look on Sapphire I really like - the blond curlier hair really suits her! Not so sure about the black luster armor, though - it looks a bit hard on her. LOVE her in the opal armor though! It perhaps looks best on her. "Trying to look sexy" - hah! There is no "try"! I really wish I could place whom she looks like. Even tho she looks great in that golden lighting, this is one of my fav shots of Sapphire. Now that's a walk! - The girls on America's Next Top Model should take notes! White clothes, white hair, blue water, blue eyes - very effective shot.

Kimory - A Kelta (great name, btw) story! Yay! I'm kinda sad she lost her wings, but that'll all be explained, right? Good job! "Kelta the Hawk Type Person" - :lol: ! I like the shot of her on the road - but the black text against the road is almost unreadable. Nice last shot there of the sword on the table. Nice shots here - dark but I can still see your character. I like her expression in the Tenacious D-reference shot, though I am apparently now too old to get such references. :P

greatfool1 - :ROFL: What an honour for Hector to have his shots immortalized in greatfool1 fashion! Poor IGHector - I fear he & Layla are just not meant to be. I'm sorry if Pip played any part in the dooming of their romance -- you know she's more interested in gold than in men! Because your stories are so funny, I tend to forget the skill used in making the screenshots - the lighting here, for instance, is wonderful - and the angle is very effective.

Soul_Slayer - This first one made me think "Ninja lunch break"! :lol: Both are great shots - the second one, close-up of your character, really pretty - especially the eyes. This shot doesn't do a lot for me - perhaps a different angle, where I could see her eyes/face better? From below, with that mask, there's not a lot of *character* there, but maybe that's just me. Love the lighting in the next two shots - gives her skin a beautiful golden glow. The lens flare actually distracts me here - perhaps because it overlaps directly on your character? And hey - now everyone has their own individual custom tattoos! Or are there really that many different tattoo mods released? Very nice action capture with the cat-fighting shot, but I love the brightness of this one through the nirnroot leaves. I really like the coloring in this shot. Jasmine is beautiful - your work really paid off! Even the side view is attractive, without overly-pouty lips or an oddly too-long or too-short nose. Very effective angle on this one - love the shot throught the bars. I also really liked the shot of her running across the water, with the ripples behind her. NO, wait - this is the good running on water shot! I don't know about calling an assassin cute, but I would here. Unfortunately, the other shots are a bit too dark for me.

Treetop Smoker - Nice lighting on your character in these first shots - like how she's lit up against a dark background. This shot is very nice - love the lighting in this whole series, but something about the red/black against a brown cave background really pleases my eyes. OK, I really have to know what this black/red armor is! I'm gonna hafta read through this whole comments thread again, see if that's mentioned. In these shots, she has that really big sword but seems kinda sad. Uh-oh, I sense an invasion coming . . . . Yes, that's a mighty big sword she has there. ;) Love the pose in this shot. Ooh - great shot! However, once again she's pressing her bare skin up against his hard armor! (And not in a good innuendo kind of way!)

Cyborg - Liked the last two shots especially ("Oh Yes - I like it here") - but the inspecting the grounds shots could perhaps have been edited to just one shot. "A mysterious castle in the mountains" has a nice light effect. This shot is great - nice use of foreground with a great sky captured in the distance. I like the skyline here, but your character could perhaps "pop" a bit more. This is a very nice shot - the snow's a great addition! :P I like the lighting/brightness effect in all these shots. Nice swimming shot - I may have to check out this house.

Die 75 - Love the lighting in the first three shots, and the mustardy-golden grasses are a great backdrop for that armor. The "Happy Monkey" shot is a bit too dark on my computer. I know you've posted some Basho shots in the Possibles page, do we have a close-up of him in there? He's such a unique character!

Hector - Thank you so much for those retextures! The red is absolutely great. Pink's a little too - light? something - for my taste, but all of them do actually look like leather to me. :new_thumbs: Kisa loves her red amazon outfit!

Cosmic-Banana - The "welcome to cyrodiil" shot is great! Love the right-foreground-ness of the ordinator-armored guy! Oblivion's my first TES game, so I don't know lore or Morrowind mods - apparently the ordinator guy is well-known? LOVE this shot! Almost looks like it's from a movie. Great lighting on the "night travel" shot, but that second one just has something. She does look a bit familiar, but I can't quite place her. I think Hector's comments are right on - she's very pretty, a bit of tweaking as you get her out in the game world & she'll be gorgeous!

Chimera - I prefer Rhianna version 2. :) She's got a very pretty face, but something about the hairline/height of the hair in version 1 is odd to me. And Serena's looking great! I personally preferred the darker-skinned earlier version, but that's just my opinion.

JazzJR - Some of the shots about entering SI are a bit dark for me - but love this one. And, WOW, you've really got the fur right! That looks incredible! Even though it doesn't show any catness, one of my favorite JazzJR shots. The next one's just too dark for me - strains my eyes. But the last one, though dark, is okay.

Grimbot - Wish I had something useful to say - but I just love your screenies! Cinematic, full of character & emotion & fun! By the way, you're welcome to post many more to the possibles page - just keep it at 2 pics/post - double/triple posting allowed! (See cyborg's posts below yours on page 1 - that's just fine!) GREAT action capture!

Zombie216 - Elune's great - kinda anime, with lots of character! I like her. BTW, thanks for the reply about the tattoos - I grabbed them & they're *excellent* work! Didn't end up fitting with the character I finally made - plus I went for the blue skin of the dark elf - but I was very impressed! Highly recommended to those who aren't making their own tattoos. Wow - you really *are* very good at this! I know you've probably resized for CI, but can you post a bigger & closer-up shot? OH, er, uh - it could be that you haven't seen the "options" for photobucket uploading - I'm sure someone'll post a screen of it, but right above where you browse to your images to upload them there's a small blue "options" link. I like Elune's new look too - perhaps some brighter screens? My only thought is that her hair color could be a bit more vibrant.

{Page 3! Yay!}

Ryu Doppler - "The staredown or how I hate interviews" - :lol: great caption! I really like your character - he seems very "bard'"-ish, a nice break from the warriors/paladins or murderers we usually get. The "so this is it" shot (not linked due to the spoilery nature you warned of) - very great shot! Love the backlighting of the scene. In fact, all three of those shots were excellent - very good use of lighting/outlining your character. It helps that with that hat, your character has a unique outline! Very nice action capture here - I like the zombie that's right up against the camera.

Karandras - didn't look amateurish to me! Better than I've done with my little gimp install. I am, however, beginning to think gimp is seriously, uh, gimped. But great comic-book-esque effects! Wait - so in your storyline (big question here) - you actually *help* the guards kill the assassins? Man, my characters always just hang back & wait to loot the bodies! :P Really like the effect you used, but could it be a tad less strong? It feels like a bit too much of the detail of the pictures is lost. I REALLY like your dark elf - I have some unexplained thing for blue skin - and those are very nice action shots! Love the white armor on her darker-than-normal skin!

sanityCheck - I think the colors of the sorceress outfit really fit Enarin! Revealing, yes, but that black with the shiny golds looks good on her.

Daiyoukai Ramza - Interesting series of shots there - but having a winged character commit suicide by jumping off a tall building seems a bit odd. Very nice action capture here - these shots are nicely moody, with the greys & then the orangered fire in the back.

MystykStar - Love this shot - great lighting, like the framing a bunch - the straight-on shot really is dramatic here. I like your character - this is going to sound like an insult, but it really isn't - she's "plain" but in a really great way! Looks a bit like a real, everyday warrior. Very pretty, but not too sculpted or with too stylized a hairdo.

Yorkmaster - I like this "home sweet home" shot - but I felt like it needed something *not* red somewhere in it. GREAT shot! Really highlights that great face texture! Idris is beautiful! Love the eye color.

FluCidity - Have you finished your tattoos? I am still astounded by that work. Your character looks nice in that video - but it was a little too "hand-held camera" for me - jerked around a bit (not that I could do any better :P ) - but even TV shows that use that method too much give me a headache, so it's probably entirely just me. Or could be just how Youtube shows up on our system. It seems like everytime I see the tattoos, they're different and better!

Xetirox - This is a great scenery shot! Does make me want to go for a swim, or would if I wasn't very tired & pretty cold. :P BTW, perhaps the first shot where that skeleton-dog actually looks cute!

trollf - Oooh! Trollfy goodness! Or should that be trollfesque?

Hector - Very nice work on the slideshow! I'm really liking IGHector in his new duds. The shot of him holding the cane up with the light effect coming from it is a new fav.

Rumms' work is the definition of awegreatstandingesque! I fear she'll now be flooded with requests for specially commissioned portraits of pc's - hmmm, better finish up Kisa so I can get mine in early . . . .


ha-HA! Caught up - for the moment.


Everyone on this board is AWEsome, this board is AWEsome, :ninja: is Awesome!!
Everybody Rocks!! :cheers:
ya, you tube sucks, even if i upload a highly compressed .flv file the quality is crap once it's viewed on youtube.
If anyone wants tattoes I can release a resource pack. let me know.

I've been going to the local animal shelter lately to try to adopt a dog, and while there they told me they needed volunteers to take stray baby kittens home and bottle-feed them until they were old enough to go back to the kennel:

Ok, so that's not one of the kittens, but they're just as cute :)


Did you take home a kitten? I would never be able to bring it back! :crying: But huge kudos to you for trying to rescue a dog - rescued dogs are the best! :wub:

@FluCidity - You might wanna snip out part of my monster wall of text in that quote, there. :D

I took home a mini-litter, 4 of them :P they meow and sleep, meow and sleep... I'll take some pictures when I can dig up my digital cam :) That shot I took from photobucket, but it represents the cuteness level

Here's one of the kittens:

Ok, so that's not one of them either :P But they're just as feisty hehe....

You are a brave, brave man. Very kind, but very brave. Those kitties would be living with me for the rest of their lives. Not that that'd necessarily be a bad thing (though I think my current cat would have something to say about it - oh and the cleaning the litterbox issues, and the food, and the fact that right now it's mostly my mom who takes care of our animals . . . . ) :P

KITTEN CUTENESS OVERLOAD! :wub:

I know this isn't from the POOC thread but I had to point this out. Look what I found while browsing the web.

Posted Image

Holy crap I need to hunt down whoever made that face. That's beautiful.


It may not be perfect, but this took me about 10 minutes to do:

Posted Image

If I had more time (and maybe a different face texture to start with), I bet I could come pretty damn close to that face. ;)

You are good at this Luchaire.
Though I rather you work on Rachel's face when you get time. :P But I'm not rushing you, I know you're busy. :)
Great face. =D

Shadow' - Thanatos Chaos & Nihili are nice pics. Where'd you get the shiny-tattooed female dremora body? Is that the alpha-corwyn version? The "dark ritual" shots were a bit too busy for me - could just be my eyes, but I couldn't quite get what was going on. LOVE this shot! And while I usually love black & white, the colors in the background in these shots are so effective (not too busy) that I really would have preferred the "die" shot to be in color, too. If you want to make a really good dremora face, I would recommend opening up your playable dremora mod (whatever mod gives you that race) & using the "reset face" button in the cs. It'll give you an easier starting place. Can't necessarily fix neck line issues, but you could always use the collars from goth shop ii to cover the neckline. Ah, the classic Shadow' romantic shot! :Bow: You truly are one of the masters!


I'm honored to be called a master. Thanks kalia. ^_^

The Dremora is a texture for Exnem's I found on the Canadian Ice forums, the link is lost in 20+ somewhat pages so I don't remember where to get it. They were uploaded by a forum member named SATAN (yikes, what a username). Though I noticed Slof herself has textures for the females too (which I wish she would upload. She does not have to be so stingy :P).

The Ritual shots were pretty much showing Thanatos sacrificing a warrior to gain that warrior's power (I'm not going to say which as a certain forum member would kill me if he found out :lol:). These shots are part of a stoy I am trying to put together but I just don't have time. Taking the shots and editing them takes long enough, and sometimes I just want to play and enjoy my game.

The black and white shot, really was black and white because I was not able to photoshop it to look more dramatic (i.e. changing the beam to a different color other than white so it looked more like a death beam than a beam of light, since It's being cast by a Dark Lord after all). Kinda lazy but, whatever works. :P

And as for the face, yeah, I knew that already. The face would come nowhere near what I got without doing so. :P But thanks. =)

Thank you for the comments. It means alot to me. ^_^
