Quick Character Concept

[SteelSaurus]

I realize that no one's going to be able to imitate the style perfectly, or even that two different people's attempts will end up the same. The point I'm trying to make is that since all the 'originals' are in a specific art style, at least try to imitate it so you don't have strikingly different styles with every other scene. Personally when I try to PShape something, I just draw in thinker lines. The problem I have is that I can't quite add all the detail I want, let alone come close to what Playshapes manages to pull off.

Egyptian style accessories, it's good. I think you can change the black outfit to be more Egyptian.
Well, I agree, PlayShapes' style is hard to be detail.

[Eggplants]

did you make those accessories up yourself? *cough* http://www.hentai-foundry.com/pic-68916.html *cough* . Just seems awfully familiar

[guilmonex]

Wow, *cough*thief?*cough*. They are exactly the same!!

[Hungarian]

lmao BUSTED!

[trunks2585]

you know there's got to be some irony in talking about stealing accessories and such things, given that playshapes said way back when he made the first versions of bowser's castle that he was no artist and traced most of what he used (this being the same as far as i know) But seriously, I'd like to discourage directly using artwork others made, or at least giving credit to where you get your items and such from. This is a future warning for others as well, normally I'm a major hard ass on art thieves.

[Eggplants]

I'm not really angry or anything like that at him for taking them (even if it took me a really long time to make them ) but yeah it probably would be advised to give the necessary credit just so people don't get wrong impressions or anything you know?

[Privateer]

Gee I can't see the "all these accessories I have on this Liz are all original and all mine" comment anywhere.

But I totally get that you must have seen something like that otherwise you wouldn't be calling someone a thief.. I mean that would just show the lack of character you have. You know.. to just say that.. ya know because, this entire concept of this space flying fox and the princess and Italian plumber, and green clad forest sprite are all original concepts. Otherwise the artists and designers of THIS game would be putting disclaimers and giving credit to the original game designs and writers and artists of these obviously non existing games...

ya.. he's totally a thief, I get you

[Vyksen]

May I interject on the model as well? Her legs are stuck together.
No one is going to imitate playshapes, because it's been decided that variety is the spice of life and it'll be alright.
And maybe it's just me, but you seem a lil' cocky.

Awww. I'm sorry Eggplants. -hug-

[nakedboy]

hey those aren't stolen they are a brighter!!! i kid i kid

[Eggplants]

@ Privateer anybody can tell when fan pics are made from famous characters but smaller less heard artists don't have that luxury, that's why it's so much more meaningful to give them credit. but the main thing for me was that if you take things that's ok but if you do it without saying so then you only create a false impression for yourself that will inevitably fall eventually.

and @ Vyksen, aww thanks

[Privateer]

Well Eggplants instead of being flattered that your artwork was apparently the perfect object to convey Steel's character concept and subtly inserting that the objects were your brainchild & the product of your hard work as well as giving Steel the opportunity of doing the right thing by giving you credit (and I say give credit where credit is due, the original on the link you posted is well executed, bravo.) you instead leaped immediately to the 'hey no fair you stole my art!' stance with your initial "did you do those yourself" comment.

Now to be fair you never said "Thief". That was started by someone else, who didn't even allow the idea that perhaps the notion of citing the source of the idea was innocently overlooked.

for the record we are going to have credit to the original concepts of starfox, mario, zelda, etc to nintendo in the game.

Cool characters.

[Xananos]

Two things about her. First, her front leg is attached a little bit too low, 'cause she has a hump on her lower back. Second, I would think that she should have some kind of tattooing or something similar to distinguish her, instead of hard, chunky jewelry. I wouldn't any of those gold pieces bumping up against me during sex. Would be uncomfortable.

[trunks2585]

the thing about her leg though, is it always looked that way, even in version 1

[Xananos]

Hm, I must not have paid too much attention to that at the time. Statement about the bump retracted.

[SteelSaurus]

I was wondering who made that picture. Yes, I did get the two snakes from your drawing Eggplant. Technically, I snagged the leg one exactly, but the head one didn't want to work out so I had to redraw parts of it. The necklace and the tail thing are actually original. I liked the tail ring from guilmonex but all attempts to copy failed and I had to redraw it (aka trace from another source). One's a simple bangle design, the other is from an 'authentic' Egyptian necklace.

My apoligies for not citing. I'll happily give credit where credit is due, I just never knew who made it. By the way Eggplant, your other works are amazing. I try to do as Playshapes did originally, and trace things (most coming from a Google search). I'm still trying to incorporate more Egyptian things without cumbering her up. Cold metal during sex is a no-no. But then there's the classic of, 'just push it to the side, you look better with it on anyway'.

The tattoo idea is brilliant, I actually had another picture of a snake earring (which was nothing short of awesome), but due to a lack of ears, no dice. Perfecto! Also, the snake girl is a direct copy of one of Playhapes, I just designed around her.

Cold metal during sex is a no-no

Oh seriously, there is nothing wrong with bringing cold metal into the bedroom. This is definitely the wrong forum for this topic so I'll restrict my tangent to this; a little temp play goes a long way, especially when you throw light bondage into the mix!

As for the crediting of proper artists and such. Given that this isn't a completed project there is ample time to add credits. But seeing as how I don't see anyone standing to make and money directly from this, I believe this would fall under "satire" in the fair use doctrine thus making crediting not necessarily.. umm necessary. Just taking the piss out of Egg for jumping on Steel. ..mm Egg on Steel, I think I'll go make an omlette!
