Happy Bday gramps >:[

Here you, you can talk about the Halloween 09 Art Contest,

Talk about how hard it is to follow instructions, or how stupid it is,

Yay..

This Halloween we decided to try something a little different.

First Step is to read this Story.

"It was the night of the 1st of July 2008, and I the wife and our little one were asleep in the bed, when I was awoken by one of those 'out of place noises' that any parent will tell you this: when a noise is out of place your mind becomes instantly alert.

"So i opened an eye, saw the wife and little one were in the bed, so i thought 'hell' must be a noise outside.
Then a shadow flitted across the corner of the room, so i decided to lay still, as if it was a person in the room they were going to get the good news.
Then after about a minutes watching, this golden figure stepped towards the bed. It was appalling. I have never, ever in my life seen some thing so dreadful or absolutely horrific in my life.
Here is the drawing I did of this creature so you can see what i am on about.
It was 6 feet tall, well built, huge, and I mean huge eyes like a damn fish, and thats what this entity being reminded me of. A two legged two armed fish / man type being. It was copper /bronze colored, scaled and its clothing was a lighter golden colour and scaled too.
It seemed to watch the wife / baby for a while, and then reached out like it was going to touch one of them.
The first knife blow hit it right in the left eye as i pulled it down and towards me.
The second / third / fourth hit it in the throat and jaw area, and it really then decided it didn't want to play any more.
We rolled off the bed onto the floor and I really went totally mad on it to be honest. A rage, red rage swept through me at the thought that this 'thing' was trying to steal my baby /wife..
On the floor it tried to grab my arm, so I screamed at the wife for the *good news. (*what he calls his knife)
She threw it at me, so i started with my left hand to smash against its skull and right side of the face.
here the being knew it was dead. i was I admit in a murderous rage by this point, and it knew it.
However it never gave up trying to escape, it rolled onto its front and tried to reach the door way, but it took maybe another thirty blows to the back and head.. I stood up, grabbed my ice axe from the shelf as the good news was stuck in its shoulder real deep and was about to deal a real killing blow to its skull when it rolled over onto is back.
It opened both palms, held its hands open palm up, and then just started to wobble and fade in and out. . . .but this thing was getting away so i tried leaping on it again.
It was like leaping onto a live wire.
I skipped backwards away from it, and it just vanished. Clean scott away right in front of us.
My heart was going fifty to the billion, and i looked around the room.
Then you know what we did ? we went to sleep! yes, i know, we went to sleep as a wave of tiredness washed over us both seems totally insane, and I agree with you, it IS totally insane.
But its what we did.
We woke in the morning like nothing had happened, got up, and it was only as I stood on one of my knives on the floor did it sink in. Its blade was snapped clean off, and was no where to be seen.
The room was spotless, we both looked at each other... and my wife said to me..
That wasn't a dream i had last night of you fighting that fish man was it ?
So....
if you laugh, you laugh. Fair enough.
But, if your reading this Mr Fish being, come back to my house ever again and Im going to make sure that my axe is buried deep in your skull and your dead body won't 'vanish' because ill parade your sorry arse on world wide TV. Oh and Mr Fish ? if you got the mustard to come back, please give me back the good news. I'll fight you for it."

no But I think Ill lock it anyway. youve been annoying us with this shit long enough.

I think its safe to say this collab attempt is dead, feel free to repost your art in a new thread specifically for your art. Thought I would like to see some actual effort in it, if whenever possible.

how about it?

the process I personally found pretty painful, we pretty much didn't agree on anything. aside from the obvious pieces of quality. Suggestion vetos left and right, and pieces left out for consideration before we had a chance to even agree on them, Which is kinda ironic considering NG flips the bill for this.

and if anyone deserves an Easter egg position I would Imagine its Elmagico

With three lives its really easy to see it to the end and the enemies are easy as fuck. Even the clown is easy with predictable moves. All I had to do was dodge the attack that I knew was coming because of really obvious body movements and then move in and smash the a key.

Yeah I agree, and like when you shoot, you had to hit a button on the keyboard like every other game.
Thats just crazy,

thank god it was cheap.

is this too hard to read? can you tell what's goin' on.

thats fuckin nuts, I love how thats the first thing the agent sees after wiping off that windshield. ha

Art wasnt meant to be veiwed at this size D: ignore minor flaws plz

if the characters are on separate layers I would suggest tightening up the composition alil.

like make me kid knocking out the boss alil bigger and bring in all the other characters closer together.

kinda like give it a brawl feel, the fish eye lens look on the background would actually support it.

i dont have any money and im sure i dont have enough talent for him to consider

how about just posting your work in the art forums and letting ALL of us give suggestions and advice? I mean thats the point of this place after all.

though a starscream re-do would be intresting ;]

oh and idk if its just me but does it look like mindchamber is trying to combine the old megatron with the new megatron. I like the cannon idea it reminds me of the original series when megatron would just transform into a bigass gun lol.

That's exactly what Im trying to do, make a more realistic version of G1 Megs

I just dont like how it doesnt show a specific transformation like is he suppose to transform into a cannon, a jet, or a truck(because of the exhaust pipes on his back, which again i dont understand) but oh well i still like it

I still haven't decided if I wanted to keep those piston coils there. (not sure the actual name) but there are two compression tubes that I assume either take the impact of the shot fired, or add compression into the main canon for distance. either way they kinda look like exhausts but they are not. Take a look at the turret in the upper left corner of this pic

It isnt obvious what he turns into now, but I plan to add a bit more from the turret and hopefully change that.

....i dont wanna come off as rude, but the pose is kinda effeminate. kinda like hes walking off after jist getting rejected by the eroto-bots. XD

Ahh shit, ya I see what you mean, heh

Im not sure if I wanna turn that leg outward at this point now, but if it bothers me enough I might

almost done with the left arm.

i made some graphics for a zombie mmorpg that i love. (although he said he would use them, he hasnt got around to coding it yet)

please feel free to give me pointers and/or criticism where needed. 8]

what did you actually do in this picture, did you do the painting? or just added yourself to it.

Im curious to know what did you actually do, because the last photo chops are pretty shit.

Anyone can do it, its called forum search.

I usually view the posters history before ever taking that much time to help and critique. Alot of us have good intentions, and there lies the problem, alot of people are looking for quick replies and responses, get their attention fix and move on.

Since they know full well we are willing to help, they will post a topic asking for it, sit back with a bowl of cereal and enjoy the responses that come in. If they don't get them fast enough, they move on.

The OP, has already posted this image once before, and he didnt ask for help then. why didnt he? Just one look at his post history and you can already see he has moved on to badly captioned movie screen caps.

no he was spoofing the fact that one of the seekers in the movie was a Model T.

steel hearts designs were great though.

At 8/1/09 01:29 AM, Jarvid wrote: Looks like one giant leg still. massive foot too.
Also he isn't optimus primal, or nemesis prime.

hmm, well hopefully once I color it and maybe fade out the back leg a bit, it wont look as bad.

Btw here a general Idea of what he would kinda transform into, but think more cybertonian.

Now you might want to do something about this shocked looking little guy.

Doesn't look to happy to be part of his chest.

lol damnit Im working on that :-p hey at least you know Im trying to make sure it works when it transforms haha.

ok progress has been super slow. basically because Ive been busy.

But someone mentioned they didn't like the Idea that the movie Megatron was one color.
Honestly thats the one thing I thought looked cool. It was like he was still in has primer paint job.

But Then I started thinking about the color of his chest in G1 as well as his gun and feet. So I think I came up with a cool solution. He will still be one color, but be semi iridescent. Very similar to Robocop, who was one color but had hues of green and blue , and even purple. As for the cannon being back. It is, but its years of destroying autobots. Its basically black from laser burns .
