Dude. o.O
I'd have done something like that long ago, except for my lack of a suitable shirt and silver visor (though I've noticed you also lack a silver visor, Anamoly). _________________ Apparantly, I'm like, off the vilg RESERVATION. Whatever that means.
You have to make do with what you can get. I figured that white-rimmed single-lensed mirrorshades were the best bet to replace something which I couldn't actually find (no, not even on eBay!).
Also, I didn't actually have or find a shirt which happened to be cobalt blue with "CG" written on it; I made it myself with a home-made stencil and acrylic paint. _________________
verry cool, but im the type of guy who, when he gets a Rib eye steak complains for the lack of sour cream... and now saying that i have to say, your hair is WAY too neat! not a big deal, i know, but it throws off the gamer style i suppose... i dunno, at least it looks to be that way to me.... oh, and wheres the gamer station? i would think you could make something like that out of an old soda bottle, and some tin foil (maybe even some markers) but it really depends on how realistic your going with the whole thing... one more thing (and just to make sure i dont sound like a total jurk or anything, its still really cool) i dont know if its just the lighting in the place where the picture was taken, or what. but the CG was a bit hard to see, and i didnt even notice it until i saw you say something about it in a post. sorry if i got a little too complacent with the whole thing, but i grew up in a verry artistic household, and i guess over the years constant asking for constructive criticisms sort of got me to notice some of the smaller things that people wouldnt really complain about... awsome suit by the way! (wow... this is a really long post... i feel like i should leave some kind of sign off thing at the end....O_o) _________________ THIS IS A SIGNATURE!
and now saying that i have to say, your hair is WAY too neat!
Yeah, I'll accept that. It's just that I tend towards that kind of hairstyle, and it looks best for me than any attempt at intentional messiness that I've managed so far. I will try something along those lines next time I get an opportunity for an actual photoshoot. (I do, after all, still have the outfit.)

Honestly... I would have no idea how to make something like that. I had constant supervision from my brother when I made the shirt, too. I just don't really have a crafts kind of skillset. Not to mention, the Station still doesn't have an official design. >.>

I'd say it's mostly the lighting; the chest of the shirt is a bit in shadow, after all. When it's lit properly, the design's much easier to see. But then, cobalt's already a fairly dark kind of blue.

Oh, no problem. If I don't get proper constructive criticism, if people don't point out the mistakes I missed, how else will I be able to fix them? I've clearly already missed them myself, after all. _________________
Wow, Kates got some serious hips going on there. *jealous*
I'm still trying to figure out the bottom of Caps trousers. Everytime I look at that yellow insignia thing, I get stuck somewhere between imperial guard and captain falcon. I thought about buying the print, as you urged, but christmas leaves me poor. =\ Maybe one of the smaller sizes once I get a paypal or whatever.
Ron Ashkenazi is a cool name.
Edit: Curses! My post is on the darker background and the white text is too obvious for what I originally said. =S _________________ Ortus Denicalis
TCC's current avatar is a fan submission enough. >_O Can't believe I haven't noticed it before. ANYWAY!
Actually.... ive changed my avatar scense then, but heres a re-worked version along with a "desktop" (ok, it's really more of an enlarged version with bigger text, but it looks a whole lot better than if you actually just enlarged it.)
(I recomend that you don't set it to stretch, or it will either make it wigged out, and too tall/wide, or it will be just plain to big to look good anymore. set it to centered, and set it in white and it should be fine.)
I'm thinking I might re-do it again with an actual street fighter gamer sprite, but it may take me a while to find a good shot of gamer doing a fist pump to work with.
edit: dang! i just noticed spots of green under sonics arms! frikkin back-colored sprite pages! >_< _________________ THIS IS A SIGNATURE!
Ok, so i got kind of bored and was looking through some of these fancorner submissions and stuff, and I saw the Gamer bio and how it was so different from the original gamer sprite. I didn't really have anything better to do so...

well, other than the hair, the edit was relatively easy... at least to me... as for the hair, I HATE anime hair! It
takes forever to sprite, and another forever and a half just to get the shading and highlights to look right! >_<
fortunately though, the hair on this one turned out pretty good.
note: I heard you wanted some sprite work done, and I'd be happy to help you out. you have my email,
so if you want some help just send me your original sprite sheet, along with whatever sprite request you want....
