Where's yours?? (You said "like me" ) I want to see it! Unless I missed it..

No, you haven't missed it. I just haven't completed it yet, mostly for three reasons:

1. My scanner broke down and was only recently replaced.

2. Mare's other fan submission project is kind of leeching my time. I want to submit my night terror, Quinn. Initially it was going to be late because of said scanner problems but then I looked at the image I made and wasn't happy with it because it didn't really show all the design details very well. As such I scrapped it and am now trying to feverishly complete a three viewpoint reference image. Most of my time is currently devoted to that since its already late and I'm already being a dick for making Maresuke wait as it is.

3. I have no artistic talent. I get good ideas but my on paper execution leaves much to be desired. I convey my ideas well enough, they just don't look as good as they can. Since drawing doesn't come naturally to me, my illustrations take a lot of time to complete. My skills in coloring and shading are especially atrocious.

However, if all goes well, I should have a fanmaren for Mares' before the end of the weekend. Just don't be surprised if it's uglier than sin wrapped in cellophane and beaten with several ugly sticks. Hey, that was alliteration... kind of.

On a different note, I actually meant the Raziel inspiration as a complement since I think Legacy of Kain is one of the best franchises ever and Raziel is one of my top five game characters ever. Anybody who draws inspiration from such greatness deserves a Zero patented joygasm cookie of happy-giggle-sunshine.

-Edit- Like Purg, sorry for derailing the topic. Everybody back on topic now. I'm going to the corner. Don't make me take you with me!

[Purgatory]

Raziel is god. That is all.


<.< >.> Sorry Maresuke for taking this offtopic. lol

[Prizma]

Augh! I need to stop looking at my Maren! I keep opening my photoshop file and making small changes RAWR!

It was driving me nuts cause he looks crooked lol. I might upload the no 'crooked' version just to save my sanity.

Oh Purg! I looooove that marens design!

[Maresuke]

Oh my, it's ok.
Zero-Shift, The other project has been suspended and I told you it's alright you're late since you told me ahead of time. Do NOT fret. D:

Purg, I'm real happy to see more blue skin~ kudos!

Prizma, If you want to do anything to your maren, you can do it before I end contest. Don't fret either.

Thanks for the lovely designs~ Zero, hang in there!

P.S. I am soooo sorry to admins and mods for starting a "Make Me a Nightmaren" trend on the forums. I'm sorry.

[Purgatory]

Don't be sorry, I'm gonna give that whole idea a boot to the head after this. Last I checked, we didn't have a "beg for a nightmaren" section anywhere.

[KiloTango]

EDIT: Nevermind I am slow and did not read the rest of the forum XD

RE-EDIT: Wait no.

Maybe it would be a better idea for there to just be one topic for requests. You could merge all the pre-existing non-contest ones in there and that way there's only one topic instead of fifty DRAW FOR MEEEEEEs floating about

[Purgatory]

I have a feeling I may have missed something I'm glad I missed. >.<

Anyway, I'm debating it. Someone made one yesterday, which I closed, but I guess it would be better than not allowing it at all so I guess I'll open it again and just bring it to everyone's attention.

[KiloTango]

Yeah, cause while it's a bit annoying to have people doing it all over the place, some artists with spare time who fancy doing nice things for the community would maybe get something out of there being a request thread.

And then everybody wins.

[Kato]

I would greatly approve of a request topic. I wouldn't request anything, but I wouldn't mind at all helping to do a few.

[Zero-Shift]

I think centralizing the requests in one thread is a good idea. The request notion has spread like a virus to the point that it can't be stopped. All that can be done now is containment. Having one topic for all requests would prevent the creative forum from being cluttered while also preventing our artists from being assaulted by by request PMs, much like TRiPPY was on the old forums when it came to the Gens.

On topic, I'm posting my creation tomorrow. I just need to touch it up a bit and add the final touches.

-Edit- Okay, I lied about the tomorrow thing, but here it is anyway. Good god, it took me long enough.

[Nix Entente]

Phew. O__O I finally finished this. I'm apologizing now for the sad, sad black coloring. My marker is running out again. >> Anyway, here it be.

[apti]

wow Nix, I love yours o_o

[Violet]

Wow, from browsing the designs in here you guys are quite the imaginative type. I like them all very much .

Nix: Wow, I love the slightly sinister twist on your entry :0.

[Meggiemaccat]

Nix, that screams Maresuke at me (but that's just me personally). I do hope it screams at Maresuke, too.

[ayamemaiden]

Nix, that screams Maresuke at me (but that's just me personally). I do hope it screams at Maresuke, too.

I'm in total agreement here.

[Nix Entente]

: O *blush* Wow, thanks guys. Even if Maresuke isn't as fond of it as you are, I didn't get some very happy jibblies in my stomach. ^_____^;

[Chlorine]

believe me shes quite fond of it

[PRiNCE]

My pointless try...

[DiENE]

Nix that really does look befitting, It looks scary (in a good way ) and that's what a Maren should tell people from its appearance.

and PRiNCE I love the coat design on yours reminds me f my character, I notice Maren seem to have vest like over wear but coats are win lol.
