Yeah - MMOs have created the idea of "Xsauce"

Such as Leetsauce or Weaksauce.

Presumably winsauce is the opposite of weaksauce. And combine that with awesome, and you get win-sauce em.

But you should never, ever, do that.

Dumpshock: We'll shred apart everything. Even posititive statements crying your artistic skill loud and wide are subject to the gaping maw of The Shredder.

Heh, thanks for the explanation guys. I thought I was pretty MMO literate but I guess I was wrong.

I see you're almost up to mine. When you get done with it, PM me to make sure I know to look for it.

...& my Beanball specialist Tomoe Sasaki is in the On Deck circle right after GunGirl.

Yep. I'm having to take a break from this, least until I finish up some missions art. Sorry for the extended wait all.

...no biggie.

good things are worth waiting for.

its ok, of course! i mean, im grateful youre doing this, and i like the anticipation.

I don't know whether any of these will interest you, but i'll describe the characters from our groups most successful team. We'd love to see them drawn.

Chronos, the team leader. Aged mid 30's after a lionization a few years back. A strong jawed, thoughtful man. Irish stock, with light hair (cut very short) and grey eyes. He has a delta grade datajack on either side of his head. Habitually dresses in business suits, often with a hard hat when working in the field. Emblem on hard hat is a stylised cog. Has a muscular build from a lifetime in special forces. Has disturbing swirly™ tattoos over most of his body, but like yakuza tatts, they don't show much while wearing clothes.

Silver, the team face. A slender female elf still in her 'youth' of irish descent. Was once a physad, but was burned out during a mission years ago, and has replaced her powers with the wire. Silver irised cybereyes, a single datajack behind her left ear (both delta). Platinum blonde hair, worn in a severe ponytail. Power suit. Lean build, augmented by cyber and bioware, and a lifetime in special forces.

Gray, the combat mage. Aged in his late 30's. A multiple initiate mage, well aware of his own power, but humble not arrogant. Stocky build of saxon heritage, wears sturdy practical suits (armoured) with the usual long coat (london fog). He wears his weapon foci sword at all times, on the left hand side of his belt, but mostly hidden by the coat. An Ares Predator is holstered in his right armpit. His hair is dark, not black, and worn in a military style. His eyes are grey. A delta grade datajack is situated behind his left ear.

Jack Flash, the sam. Aged in his late 20's. Skinny build with massively etched muscles thanks to a dangerously active lifestyle, significant cyberaugmentation and a 10 year stint in special forces. Wears traditional scottish kilt and so on with big clunky combat boots. Prominent cheekbones. Black hair and rich blue cybereyes. A delta grade datajack behind his left ear. Extensive scarring over his arms and torso. Is never far from a duffel bag full of suspicious bulges.

These were the core group of Colonel Harland's Eleven. Individually or as a group shot in front of an APC bearing the stylised cog corporate logo would be very very cool.

Heres my shot at:

JamesJ's Gungirl

In all fairness, even the official BBB artists have trouble not putting slides and ejection ports on their firearms. I say, maybe they're a kind of design holdover.

Guns only fire caseless if you specify it.

And they still need to vent the pressure and load the next round for firing, which can be done quite plausibly with a slide system.

Are you guys trying to tell me not to use my play station light gun as reference anymore? Heh.

I'll do a redraw up full body here in a day or so. At this point would be the time to tell me if I need to deviate any from what I've done to meet your criteria James, so fire away. No guilt should be had on me redoing it, it will only improve my abilitys.

I'm actually thinking about re-doing the first post with a list of things I'd like people to describe to me so I can have better guidelines to follow. It might make the process more accurate.

On the caseless ammo thing, good catch really. I'm going to have to do research on caseless ammo firing guns to see the difference. I remember SR3 giving you the option, but I think most folks don't really worry about it in game in less they are going for the assasin type.

I think a lot of artists draw the cased ammo because it is what people relate to and it helps to show the cases flying through the air to show movement. I always put the ammo port on the wrong sides though so maybe drawing a different type of gun would save me some trouble ....Which really is kinda funny since I used to be in law enforcement and shot thousands of rounds through my glock in my day....

Anyways enough rambling.

Full body shot, caseless gun and dark hair. Otherwise spot on.

I'll do up a little section here soon then.....

Anyways, I gave it another shot. Hope it is better. I did my best to make a "Casless" gun that had no apparent ammo port or slide.

Gun Girl Full body

Hope its goodly.

I like it. Thank you!

Niiiiiiice![/Borat]


Seriously nice, I like her. I just hate her gun. It still looks way too friggin' big, like it's chambered for .30-06 or some other full rifle round.

Basically, it looks overly chuny-monkey, IMO. I dunno, it just looks like it's about 150%-200% how big it really should be. I dunno what else to say..

Oh yeah. "Nice tits."

Eh, I like the chunky gun. But then I tend to like oversized weapons in general, so perhaps that's just my Otaku (as in... anime fan, not technomancer) speaking. Besides, maybe she's short/small in general and therefore the gun looks oversized in her hand.

...My former Otaku, Akima Naru, used the Eichiro Hatimoto as her firearm. By it's description in CC it sounded like a very big piece for a handgun since it fired shotgun slugs.

...just went through the gallery. Looking at Pixie again, I am tempted with sending the details on "Sailor Star" (Akima Naru), my never played anime loving Technomancer/ex-Otaku.

Jumping around a bit here, but here is El Fenrir's Vil in a quick sketch form, rough and dirty at this stage. Will it work Mr. Fenrir? Is the combat axe too big?

El fenrirs Vil Sketch

Ahh, Im here! Was away for a couple days.

Hmm..me do likey! The axe isnt too big, worry not...to me, the combat axe is supposed to look like a large piece of death.

I like his expression alot. The slightly dark rings under the eyes work well for him.

The gun is cool too. Though I might make the barrel a LITTLE longer(doesnt have to be much though, he does use a wide array of firearms).

But yeah, i cant wait to see him inked! Thumbs up from me.

Cool, I'm gonna ink this dood up and slap it up here soon.

Edit:

El Fenrir's Vil

I threw in a background, hope it all turned out to your liking.

Quick question for you El Fenrir, would you mind if I offered this image to Sphynx for use in his project: SOTA: 2065?

I'm not sure if he could use it or not, but I think I may try incorporating more characters into these other projects. It will turn out better images and I think it will benefit all involved.

Oh yes, it did very much!

Really like the extras the inking did, like the worn look to the axe, and the picture fits Vil to a T. Does him great justice, he's one of my favorite SR creations.

And the SOTA project looks very cool, too...so its cool with me if you use him. If you need anything else for it let me know.

I love that picture you did i thought it was great I was wondering if you can do me another.

Above is the picture that I use currently. I love the girl and her features but need to bring her up to the year 2070. She is part hacker and part smuggler. Could you possibly draw a picture of my charater modelled on the one above.

Cheers
RTWW

This is great! I also am willing to do art for those interested. You can preview my work in the srartgroup under Ratchaser. I've been away for a long-time and just popped in to see all the beautiful work being done and then checked here to see that the community has embraced this wholeheartedly! I think it's wonderful and I will even submit a character or two to see Squinky's take on them. Keep up the great work. Squinky: would you prefer a new thread? I got all excited and don't want to step on any toes. Whatcha think?

Awesome work Squinky!

Here to add to the queue:

Here's the character I'm gonna play in Dog's next campaign which is a Cyberpirates campaign with low-power characters. The character's a medical college dropout from Haiti. He's an physical adept following a very strange way, the healer's way. He got himself a lot of troubles when he left home, leaving a promising career as a surgeon. He made various enemies here and there and ended up stranded on an island in the Caribbean for a while as a punishment from a pirate gang. He was eventually rescued by the captain of a small boat who was retreating to the island to take care of a nasty wound. The irony of finding a black man alone on a island earned him the nickname "Friday".

Name: Friday
Description: A haitian guy, early 30's, wearing a "Thank God it's Friday" t-shirt. He smokes cigarettes, loves rhum, and has a couple voodoo charms on him. His favourite weapon is a remington roomsweeper (or any kind of sawed-off shotty). Optionally, he could be wearing a lab coat/doctor's garb if you think it would look good but still with his signature t-shirt. A medkit and other medical stuff (patches, syringes, a saw, etc.) would be nice around him.

And as always, I leave the rest to your creativity...

Peace! and thanks in advance...

Crossfire

I really feel a need for a character portrait for this character, but I can't even begin to draw (my hands suck, can't even make a straight line) I will have to humbly request a character portrait. </begging>

My character is a troll wolf shaman, who goes by the name "Nighteyes." He lives in the barrens, and has connections with a local gang, who come to him when they need healing, which he provides cheap. He is a rather large, muscular troll, with horns that curve back over his head before coming up in points, somewhat resembling a wolf's ears. he has a nasty scar over his throat, which gives him a whispery, gravelly voice. He wears an armor jacket that's made to look like animal hide, and always carries his weapon focus spear, a weapon with a thick haft and a very long blade. he also usually has his shotgun and his warhawk, though these need not be visible in the portrait.

Good backdrops for him would either be some scene in the barrens, or maybe meditating at his shamanic lodge, which is in a small shack in the barrens.

I would be incredibly grateful for this.

Sounds pretty cool.

Murphy's Law now dictates that Squinky will finish the portrait and post it during the game in which Nighteyes gets geeked.

Just letting you all know I am still here. Probably gonna forgo any Dumpshock art the next couple days, been fiddling with Missions and some other stuff lately, and truthfully, I haven't been feeling like drawing when I get home from work latley, sorry all.

Anyways though, when I hit it hard again this weekend I will try to get more going on:

Cazazil's Tattoo that I have forgotten about repeatedly
Kyoto's Drawing and/or Emo's Drawing.

Hope thats cool and sorry again that I don't crank these out faster.

Art is done when it's done. No worries. I'd rather wait for an awesome version of Shen Lung.

...I second that.

I know, there are times for me too that the creative energy is at a low after a hectic RL workday.

no worries chummer. After all, it's not like we're paying for this. I have one rule, and that's never complain about what someone's giving you for free. Unless it's a scorpion or something.

Character and NPC drawings by my girlfriend (Hani Saunders):

Here is a drawing of one of the NPCs in the campaign I run for her, an NPC Dwarf Demolition Specialists (in everyday gear).

Here is a SURGED young girl called Nejala (pronounced Ne-Ya-La), with some T'skrang SURGE-features.

Here is another dwarf, Geoffery, the bartender in her character's favorite hangout.

Here is a female Human mage, in a semi-traditional outfit, not a specific PC or NPC in this campaign but rather a character concept she was toying with.

...Just did another take on your pic of Leela after reading through the New Gear the SR3R Way thread and associated links. Came across some RL images of Gyrojet pistols & rifles. I didn't realise the pistol was that compact. I always envisioned it to be larger, somewhere in between a heavy magnum and Grenade pistol in size since it fires a rocket propelled round.

Great job on her (and my) favourite sidearm.

Thanks Kyoto!

Here is my sketch for Emo Samurai's Character. I like most all of what I have going on here, but still am unsure of how to mix the black and white on the suit (I get a bad feeling that it will end up looking like a cow).

Anyways, here it is for approval before inks. Thanks Emo.

Emo Sammy's Character sketch

Hmmm... Make it look like a folded fractal. You could design your own one, or it could look like this.

He looks a little older than I'd imagined, but then again, he's, like, uber-dignified and serious.

Cool.
