I figure I can pimp my shadowrun sculptures here, so here is:
Shadowrun Dwarf samuari Sculpture
You can see the painted troll sculpture in the background, I'll get that posted and linked soonish.
Edit----
Painted Troll sculpture
Full Version: Character Drawings.
Pages: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27
The Dwarf just looks freaking weird, like something Gimli sired on Gollum, but the painted troll is made of awesome and win.
KK, are you going to make such a thread?

Awww, really?
I personally love the Dwarf, but my wife said the same thing, that he was an ugly mofo....guess I need to step back a bit

Dwarf didn't turn out too bad, IMO! A little different than i picture dwarves, but still not bad. I couldn't do a dwarf in sculpty to save my life. 
The painted troll is indeed made of win! Nice expression and nice coloring.

I think I got caught up in the technical side of things with the dwarf, and focused less on the overall.
I was pretty happy with how his pectoral muscles turned out, and how, in general he is a "cleaner" model when it comes to bumps and stuff. Also, since his gun is held out from his body I had to make a cool exterior wire frame to hold it up during baking, and was happy about how that turned out.
I'm not worried if folks don't like him, I learned a lot on him, and plan on trying to make a good looking woman next
I'm currently painting him and am really happy with how that is going as well.
As always, thanks for the feedback guys.

It's a cool sculpture, he's just ugly as homemade hell.

...When I can get a better connection than I have today (took me 30 min to get a post to stick in the Vacation Spots thread & then it double posted).
So the hows about Poolside with two Badass Babes - starring Skate & KK? Sound good?
...oh, and on the sculptures (looks like I got a small "window" of opportunity here - see previous post). I really like the troll now that's he's painted. The beer is more evident now (of course a "Troll size" 2 L).
I think the dwarf looks cool. A beard (even trimmed one) would help a bit, but that means more work too. I haven't done much traditional sculpting or ceramic work in my career (most of the stuff I did manage to make kept blowing up in the kiln for some reason), so I am not able to give pointers on best tools & techniques to use & such when it comes to clay.
I have done sandcastles & sand sculptures though, my best being a Gothic styled cathedral (which a friend time lapse videoed through its construction to reclamation by the tide with Debussy's La Cathédrale Engloutie as the soundtrack) and an ancient Egyptian setting. with pyramids, a Sphynx and a temple all scaled to each other (that took the better part of an afternoon).
...a good looking woman up next? I'm very interested in this project.

Sounds good, KK.
And Squinky, how about naming the dwarf Hakkin McKillnslash?

| Welcome to the Shadows is specifically for games and other In-Character threads. Seems to me to be the perfect place for what you are considering. |
...I dunno.
I did a scan back of about a year's worth of Welcome to the Shadows threads to get an idea of how to do the intro and discovered the everything I saw related to actual campaigns being run in the forum. The original idea was for more of a lighthearted IC discussion thread set up in the format of an daytime trivid talk show. There would be no GM, no need to submit detailed character sheets for approval, no plot, no Karma etc. Hence not really sure if it would fit.
Unfortunately from what I gather, some previous attempts at this type of free form IC talk/chat thread tended to get out of hand and eventually had to be shut down. Definitely don't want to continue that trend.
Well, the worst we can do is try, right? Hell, it can't do worse than fail.

The continuing existance or viability of the thread is not really in my, your, or any single person's control. As such, it really isn't a factor in my suggestion as to a suitable location for an IC-style thread. The Welcome to the Shadows forum is the proper location to start such a thread, however long it may last beyond the first post.
...or have Bull or Fisty move it to a more appropriate site if it doesn't fit I guess.
Will work up the intro offline & upload it in next time I can get on after work. This way I don't get dropped in the middle of what I'm doing when the signal craps out. The one issue with WiFi they will need to solve before a wireless matrix can be a reality is stable connectivity.
On a side (but somewhat related) note, would be interesting to run the 2070 matrix having some of the same issues wireless has in 2007.
...but that's a topic for it's own thread perhaps.
...now back to the original topic of artwork. Any ideas or further discussion on the programme thread please send via PM, thank you.

Actually I like the fact she's an Ork. Yeah hands are hard enough to draw in 2D. I can imagine that doing them in a 3 dimensional medium is even tougher.
The biggest issue is they are just too small to work with

Okay, now he looks like something Gollum sired on a TOS-era Klingon.
Ugly as fuck, but dangerous.

...yeah I have a friend who details game miniatures. He must have a keen eye for he does some incredibly intricate work including modifying the figures to make them look just like the actual character down to the smallest detail. The one he did for me of KK is totally astounding. Even did the rising sun tattoo around her right eye. He is also finishing up on my Assimar Paladin Meg and did a wonderful job with my twin rapier wielding Monk Brennah.
Do you use a magnifier? If not, that may help for the smaller details.
...seeing as you will be getting back to character drawings, I better repost the Leela "Post Runner" details again. Apparently I accidentally deleted the PM with all the notes from my Sent Messages as well. I really liked the toning technique you did a while back & would love to see it used on her. I don't mind if I have to wait longer.
The funny thing, I still have a download of the one prelim sketch you did of her where she's sitting on the crate. I still like the feel of it. Maybe that might be a good reference if you do her sitting at the piano (of course nicely dressed without the gun in hand).

So this is my offering for this art show off. I have full length version that connects this one with 4 others but right now its a little squished looking on my photo bucket.

So what is he doing, narcojecting pigeons off in the distance? Do you have your own da pages as well SF?
no theres 4 other pics that get placed side by side.. he's shooting the decker, which is something that would happen alot in game since me and the deck head didn't get along well..
we once even filled a guy with 6 or 8 narojet darts once for touching something that he shouldn't touched.. i didn't even get off the couch where i was flirting with some wolf shaman chick
no i don't have any deviant Art pages, but i do have some at elfwood.

Fantastic work, Squinky. Time to add the next of my old characters to the growing list of masterpieces.
Valiant ~ Val Hammersmith. My 2nd ed Rigger. Caucasian human female, about 5'6". Red streaked black hair, waist length, shaved to the earline long on top to accomodate the VCR rig in the back of her head and the datajack by her left ear. Her left arm and leg are obvious cyberlimbs, as is her right forearm. Her left eye is also an obvious cyber, blank silver. There is a large scar down the left of her face, a jagged cut from her forehead down across her eye to her cheek. Her left cyberarm contains a remote control deck and signal booster. She habitually carries an Ares Slivergun, and wears armoured clothing, usually obviously armoured clothing. She is rarely far from her beloved drones, and usually has at the very least a Steel Lynx with a pair of Vindicators parked nearby, usually with a Ruthenium blanket covering it, but sometimes without.
Perhaps a workshop picture, with her doing maintenance on a combat drone?
Thanks in advance.

Looking for the Squink. Has anyone heard from the Squink or has he been captured by a renegade Elvis lookalike?
...he did add one of my pics to his favoruites on DeviantArt back on the 2nd. Not sure if he is possibly doing some more Missions work or not.
It was zombie elvises I'm telling you <sniffle>.
I'm here just lollygagging.
I've finally managed to distract the zombie Elvises with some bacon and an old bottle of crown royal I had laying around.
I'm gonna try and get back on the wagon here real soon.

...I was hust hoping that you hadn't started on the Grande Family Portrait (seeing it was technically next on the queue) and that was holding everything up.
BTW, have you heard anything from Shadowdragon8685? Seems he dropped off the face of the earth.

Nope, Haven't corresponded with him at all. Bummer.
I haven't started on that yet, and I may take my time on it as it will take a good bit more effort than the others
Just finished up some Missions stuff so will try to get some stuff up here in the next few days.

And i think you have the biggest portfolio of anyone i've ever seen at this point.

...can you do an avatar for me? None of the standard ones really fit (I can't use the cool one I have in Deviant Art and KK is not an Ork so even the Gunslinger Adept one doesn't work).
I'm back, no worries. Can't wait to see what's next from the Squnky.
...I think he may actually be tackling the Grande Family Portrait. Yeah quite a project but I have been asking him to push it back for over a year so others in line didn't have to wait.

I can draw you anything you want, but as far as getting it into the avatar section (which I'm pretty sure is closed to all us normal people) I got nothing
And I felt like doing this sketch the most today
Momijizukamori's Ally Sketch
Also, I finally posted the finished versions of some commisions I did for nightlife on DA as well, so if you are bored or interested you can check that out from the main page of my DA.
...Sweet, I like her.
Yeah, I'll have to send a note to Admin on the Avatar issue. I figured since you have done so much work for Missions they would let you post one there for me.
...oh well, had to try.
At least I will be able to change my title to Bushido Cowgirl (gak! IE just doesn't fit) when I get a few more posts under the gunbelt.

You really should have done this all privately in he first place. Now, if the Moderators do let you slip an Avatar in, then everyone will know, and bombard them with their own requests for a 'personal' Avatar as well. I'm afraid that you might have put them in kind of a tough position.
Oh, and I hate your font!

As I said in another thread, even with my post count (biggest except for certain artificially-inflated ones which shall remain nameless
), I don't have the option to change my title. I do believe that it is still reserved for those that gave in the donation drive.QUOTE (Fortune @ Feb 3 2008, 03:48 PM)

....Apologies, I'll just wait until (if and when) the option becomes publicly available then. Just hate going "faceless" & nothing available comes within a 20 megaton warhed's blast radius of fitting. Anyway it would no doubt have still caused a stir even if I had gone the straight PM route for someone would eventually go looking for it in the Avatar galleries and not find it.Oh, and I hate your font!
As to the font, well we all have our likes & dislikes. I still think it was better than this one.
It's cool. I'm not looking for, nor is there any need for apologies. I was merely butting my nose in, in an attempt to head off what I thought might be an awkward situation.
As for the titles, I just saw in the other thread that it was a temporary thing while Redjack was playing around ... but it might be made available in some capacity at a later date.
In regards to the fonts, I know it is your prerogative to use them. It's just that it sometimes gives me a headache switching back and forth between the many varied fonts available. My problem, I know, but I am still allowed to bitch!

Thanks for clarification on the custom title front. I understand that the days of Donations are pretty much long gone and I am not really much adept at coding so even that contribution route is moot.
No prob on the Avatar Issue. Just testing the "new waters" so to say.
...OK Time to return this thread back to the topic of Squinky's art [/Derail]
It's not like derailing is anything new to this thread.
...yeah, but I really should have directed the discussion to the DS News forum where it belonged. Squinky does such a wonderful thing for all of us here so I feel it is a bit unfair to hijack his thread.

I'm glad I checked the forums before going to bed - you have made my evening! I love it - I may muck around with colouring in PS if I have some time tomorrow >.>
EDIT: Actually, teeny nitpick while it is still in the sketch stage - would it be possible to eyes a little bigger, or...maybe a little wider top to bottom? For the 'I look like a twelve-year-old' look - I think it's just the eyes throwing me a little there. If it's going to be a hassle, don't worry about it, I still really like it ^^ The clothes and the piles of gear are totally spot-on.

Well, she's actually eighteen - just has the facial features and height of someone several years younger. The hyperactive personality doesn't help XD;
...that was kind of my demolitionist Leela's make up as well. When I started her she was 18, but due to trauma of seeing her family killed during hte Serb Invasion of Zagreb (& being badly wounded herself) she not only had the appearance but also the personality of a 12 - 13 year old even though she was a genius in both science and music. Having come from a family renowned for putting on pyrotechnics displays, she became extremely interested in and adept at using explosives while she was a member of the Croat resistance.
Made for some interesting roleplay as she had a childlike outlook on the world which all too often cut right through to the heart of the matter at hand.
