Hell on Earth Mod!!!
Ok, here's the scoop on this in-development Doom 3 mod..
Based in the same Time frame as Doom 3, you play as the son of the space marine you play in Doom 3. You will in Long Beach, California with your mom. As a 18 year old, you have come to see your dad who works for the UAC to be sent on a mission to mars. Without your dad, things can get pretty basic and boring. One day, over the news, you hear of the discovery of the first archeological sight found on mars, and soon these artifacts will be sent to earth for further research. You think to yourself "I wonder what my dad is doing up there on mars?". As the next morning starts you get ready to go to the skate park to meet your friend jeff, until you hear over the radio of UAC recruiters explaining the possiblity of a draft. Whatever for, you continue to go straight to the skatepark. The invasion is immenent. How will you survive it?
*All monsters from the original Doom will be remade and tossed with some amazing shaders including bump mapping and fur.
*See what was left out. Go up against the Baron of Hell and the almighty SpiderMastermind.
*Use a vast aresal of weapons to push back a hord of Imps, or to devistate packs of intelligent Archviles.
*Play the game as its meant to be. By taking the gameplay of Doom and mixing it with the graphics of Doom 3, you can experience a fight against Hords of Stupified zombies and Imps raging through cities and homes.
*Go to locations such as LAX, Long Beach, DownTown Los Angeles, and more.
*Explore vast cities, filled with civilians, later to be loaded with bodies.
*Experinece another side of a story, seeing the destruction of earth as we know it. Before and After the invasion."
Also, I emailed the project leader and gave me some great stuff, they will be utilizing this engine well...
-Characters will have 3000-18000 polys
-They will use Normal Mapping
-They will impliment a load of new shaders, some of which will be beautiful water for lakes, oceans, pools etc. and fur for some of the creatures.
-They will be recreating the doom3 monsters and designing new monsters (Spider Mastermind, barron, etc)
Impressive, huh?

For shame! - Series merited better than early fadeaway
Updated: May 19, 2007, 11:20 AM ETBy Gene Wojciechowski | ESPN.com
SAN ANTONIO -- A moment of silence, please, on the premature death of the best playoff series NBA school principal David Stern -- and the rest of us -- will see anytime soon.
The hoops drama that was the San Antonio Spurs vs. the Phoenix Suns should have lasted seven games. And if Maximum Dave and his curiously reasoned form of punishment hadn't made an appearance this past week, we might be counting the nanoseconds until Sunday's series finale between the two best and most compelling teams ...

'Aloyseum', at St. Aloysius College, has been renovated at a cost of Rs. 80 lakh
In the hundred years since its foundation, 'Aloyseum', the museum at St. Aloysius College, has roamed the campus in search of a permanent building, while accruing collections of coins, cars, stamps and specimens in its objective to be the museum for Mangalore.
Inaugurating the renovated museum – coinciding with its centenary – Swebert D'Silva, Principal of the college, said around Rs. 80 lakh had been spent to enlarge the 'Red Building' of the campus where the museum is now lodged. Government grants were used to restore museum artefacts, he said.
Since it started operating in the Red Building in 1913, it has been shifted around the campus to make way for the burgeoning student population, before settling into the original building in 1995. The first collection of Roman coins, minerals were brought here by Jesuit priest Chiappi, and since, numerous visits by rectors across the country have added to the museum, with some artefacts dating back to the Stone Age.
The renovated museum gives a sneak peak into natural sciences and history with its collection of animal and fish bones, dinosaur models, copies of paintings, palm leaf manuscripts, antique radios and telegraphic, statues, coins, weapons, and medals. Mangalore of yore is seen in the first electric generator installed in the city in 1930, while vestment of priests from the city dates back to 1878, said officials.
The centre of attraction remains the De Deon car, which was imported by P.F.X .Saldanha of Highland Coffee Works. Unused because of scarcity of petrol – there were no petrol stations in the city – the car has seen the likes of Sir Arthur Lawley, Governor of Madras, touring the district in it. The 8 HP car, could go only a maximum of 19 miles an hour, and was gifted to the museum in 1956.
The museum charges an entry fee of Rs. 5, and Mr. D'Silva hoped that the Museum would turn into a tourist attraction for those looking for a glimpse into the old Mangalore.

The struggle of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
Can Kazakhstan become a world power?
04 Mar 2010 16:30 GMT | Politics, US & Canada, Bahrain, Iraq, Syria
Iyad Jamal al-Din, a controversial Shia cleric, is a lesser-known candidate running in the March 7 parliamentary elections.
His political platform includes strong opposition to Iranian interference in Iraqi politics and he has called for the separation of religion and state.
Jamal al-Din was born in 1961 in Najaf to a family known for being heavily engaged in science and culture.
His first encounter with politics was in 1977, when he participated in a Shia ritual which requires adherents to walk on their feet for tens or hundreds of kilometres to the Najaf shrine of the Prophet's cousin and son-in-law, Ali bin Abi Talib.
The Baathist government at the time suspected that armed groups of the outlawed Dawa Party and other anti-government Shia organisations were hiding among the marching crowds and banned the rituals.
Jamal al-Din was among those who openly protested the government's decision and soon found himself found himself on a list of wanted dissidents.
In 1979, he fled to Syria.
Spiritual leader
A few years later, he moved to Iran where he received university degrees in Islamic Sharia Law and philosophy. As he was an Arab, Tehran immediately assigned to fill the position of spiritual leader for the Shia community in Bahrain.
In 1995 ,a group representing the Shia community in Dubai asked to come to Dubai and be their Imam. He accepted the invitation.In 2003, he was flown into Iraq from Bahrain on board a US marines helicopter, shortly after the removal of Saddam Hussein.
He landed in the southern town of Nasiriya and immediately started to mobilise other Shia into political blocs.
He stood in stark contrast to other powerful Shia leaders in Iraq; he argued against Iran's system of rule by religious authority - wilayat al fiqh.
Ahrar PartyIn the January 2005 elections, Jamal al-Din was elected as an MP running in the Iraqi National Movement coalition, chaired by Iyad Allawi.
When Allawi appeared to seek rapprochement with Iran, Jamal al-Din withdrew from the coalition and formed the Ahrar (Free) Party, which is one of several key coalitions participating in the March 7 parliamentary elections.
The Ahrar party campaign focuses on national reconciliation and termination of the de-Baathification law, which he says has been one of the fundamental reasons for Iraq's slide into instability and violence.
His political campaign created controversy when he told Al Jazeera on March 3 that he had hired the US president's campaign manager to oversee his election bid.
"The manager of Barack Obama's electoral campaign is one of my campaign officials. I also use people who worked in the election campaign of John Howard, Tony Blair, Recep Tayyip Erdogan and others," he said.
Jamal al-Din said he would work tirelessly to ensure the creation of one million jobs and a stable power grid which provides 24 hour service by 2012.

The growing amount of data created by today's high throughput DNA sequencing technology presents a major challenge to scientists around the globe. How to handle the staggering amount of data, and, more importantly, how to answer the biological questions that initiated the experiment? Aside from the cost of the sequencing platforms themselves, significant amounts of money are being spent worldwide to expand hardware and storage resources, but getting to the biology requires access to data bases, analysis pipelines and other technologies to convert the data into biological knowledge a daunting requirement for many users of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS).
Genomatix has established itself as a pioneer in the field of NGS data analysis, and has marketed a leading edge data analysis platform for intranet, in-house use for several years. However, the investment required for this platform is often beyond the means of the occasional user or even small core facility, confining the beneficiaries of this leading technology to larger sequencing core facilities and heavy users of the technology.
At the San Diego X-Gen conference and at the Human Genome Meeting in Dubai, Genomatix announces now a new service: mygenomatix.
With mygenomatix, Genomatix launches a service model that incorporates all the power of its in-house platform and combines it with the affordability of cloud computing and the security of an in-house solution all at a very affordable price. mygenomatix will provide the user with:

George A. Amedore, Jr. (born April 2, 1969)[1] is a Republican member of the New York State Senate. Previously, he had been a member of the New York State Assembly representing the 105th Assembly District, which includes all of Montgomery County and part of Schenectady County.
Early life and career[edit]
Amedore was born and raised in Schenectady County. He is vice president of Amedore Homes,[3] a business founded in 1974 by his father, George Amedore, Sr.[4]
State Assembly career[edit]
He was first elected to the State Assembly on July 31, 2007,[3] in a special election to fill the seat of long time Assemblyman (and now Congressman) Paul Tonko, after Governor Eliot Spitzer appointed Tonko to run the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority.[5] Amedore ran against Democrat Ed Kosiur, a Schenectady County legislator.[6] The race was noted for the large campaign budget, with Amedore spending $511,576 vs. Kosiur's $430,862.[7]
State Senate campaigns[edit]
Amedore gave up his Assembly seat to run for the 46th Senate district, a newly drawn district stretching from Montgomery County to Ulster County. Although there were more registered Democrats than Republicans in the district, Amedore was initially favored because he'd represented the entire northern portion of the district for five years. Amedore trailed Democrat Cecilia Tkaczyk on election night, but legal action by Amedore forced a judge to monitor the counting of 6,000 provisional and absentee ballots. The judge threw out 450 votes, enough to give Amedore a 37-vote lead. Amedore was certified as the winner and filed his oath of office in January. However, Tkaczyk appealed, contending that since the ballots were primarily in Democratic-leaning areas, she could potentially win if they were all counted.[8] Eventually, a court ordered 99 ballots in Ulster, Albany, and Greene counties opened. Tkaczyk picked up enough votes in the opened ballots to take an 18-vote lead. Amedore conceded the race on January 18. According to the Albany Times Union, Amedore was the shortest-tenured senator in the modern history of that chamber.[9]
Amedore contested a rematch with Tkaczyk in the 2014 elections and won.
Amedore resides in Rotterdam, New York with his wife Joelle and their three children: George, Anthony, and Bria. He is a member of the Calvary Tabernacle Assembly of God in Schenectady.[3]

Etap''s are made in Belgium and have been around a long time. They make very good boats from what I have seen. The unsinkability comes from injecting foam between two skins of the hull -- thus you lose some interior volume.
Etap was in the US market in the ''80''s and left when the recession hit. They are making a comeback now with some new models. The new 37 looks interesting on the website, and the 39 is a knockout boat.
I know a woman who bought a 1980''s vintage Etap 30 a couple of years ago and loves it. She bought it from a couple who bought a new Etap 34 that was in the Annapolis boat show two years ago. The 30 sails nicely. I can''t vouch for the sailing characterisics of the others.
The vertical tiller is very cool in operation. Looks and acts very much like a joystick in an airplane.
One big problem with them is dealer support. Right now the only dealer I know of is the importer in Maine. But they do work with local marinas to commission boats. It just so happens that many of the boats come in through the port of Baltimore and a marina up the creek from me commissions the ones for the east coast. I know the owner of that marina and he is very high on the boats. He lets me snoop around on them occasionally.
The Etaps have several unique features that may not appeal to everyone, but they are worth a look IMHO.

GREAT BEND, Kansas (KSNW) --The Great Bend Humane Society removed 50 dogs and puppies from a home in Great Bend. Now, the owner could be facing charges.
The Golden Belt Humane Society received a call from PETA earlier this week after someone had filed a complaint with the organization saying a home in the 1000 block of Elm Street was housing 15 dogs, but upon investigation, that number changed to 50.
The dogs were removed.
Neighbors say they knew that the owner had several dogs but didn't know she was living with 50.
Now the majority of these dogs are a cross between a dachshund and basset, aging anywhere between 2 to 3 months and 2 to 3-years-old.
The director of the Humane Society is not sure on the condition inside of the home but says the majority of the dogs are in good health.
The focus now is to find these dogs a new home.

First of all they look great Sekino, I think it would be nice to combine details from the human warrior(bracers, sword,...) with a gazelle/satyr, it would be perfetct.
I also agree with you for the combination of our characters, A, B, C, D. We should stick to the animal like characters.

Good idea about the gear for the Gazelle, 3m! Glad to hear you finally got your new machine I'll wait to hear what's Pretty_Angel's take on the Gazelle char before working on it more, since it was her idea.
Okay, just another quick clarification: Despite the fact that we're steering away from human characters, we can't go too deep into the 'creature' end either (Daestwen mentioned something about that today). Having them animal-based is fine but we need to keep clear humanoid features. For example:
The lizard-healer character: I'll rework the design to make it a bit more shaped like a dwarf. Right now, it might be a bit too animalistic.
I'd recommend pushing the monkey-wizard to more human proportions (clearly walking upright, shorter arms...)
The rhino ought to be some orc-like character, so perhaps a bit more human features on the face... More like some rhino/human mutant.
Being half/human, the centaur is pretty safe, I think...
I'll try to post quick doodles of what I mean because I realize it's not exactly clear.

Awesome sketches, everyone! The gazelle and rhino ideas are both spot on and suit their classes perfectly
Lineup is definitely closing in, think we're nailing all those characters down! My only concern is that the reptile character isn't distinctly African enough. It's possibly too blatant or an obvious choice, but what do you think of having some more "classical African" animals like zebra, lion or hyena instead? I'm just brainstorming here Although I agree that a reptile creature fits the role of a healer/magician, I'm just wondering whether said animal fits the group, it feels a bit like an outsider compared to the other three.
About choosing the characters (out of those 5 Sekino listed), I have to agree that having the first 4 is a good group. I had initially always wanted to have at least one human and well, I still wouldn't mind it, but I suddenly feel the group loses some of its dynamics by including one non-animal based. If I remember correctly, Sabrina was quite keen on having one all-human, so we'll have to make sure everyone agrees But I'm fine with either!
I agree that the stealth/gazelle should definitely be female. As for the others, I'm somehow having some difficulties picturing the ape-wizard as female, but probably because I keep getting Rafiki from Lion King in my head when I try! And didn't we agree on having it 50/50 in gender? In any case, definitely female on the gazelle! I'm gonna do some sketches and experiment with the genders on the others (although I believe the rhino is definitely male!), see which one I think fits. In fact, I'm gonna try to do much more sketching in general. Sorry guys, oddly enough, it seems I prefer to plan all the pre-work verbally instead of visually. But it's definitely high time I bring out some visual stuff too!
I agree with Sekino from the PM that we should try to assign different tasks to all members. It seems very efficient and gives the final pieces a more consistant look. I think we should first nail down just what those jobs are (sketching, inking etc) and then everyone can shout-out what they personally feel most confident in and prefer doing. I wonder if those separate works should be strictly 4? Or, because of the difference between those jobs (i.e., colouring is more time-consuming than sketching), maybe one could do 2 jobs while another does 1? What do you guys think?

I see your point about the reptile. Now, there are lizards in Africa and I was thinking it could offer a break from the mammals... However, it might be very well breaking the 'rhythm' of the lineup rather than adding variety. I'm absolutely not attached to the idea. But we'll need to think of another option fairly soon, if we go that way. Perhaps we can go with the human after all?
I'm somehow having some difficulties picturing the ape-wizard as female
Yeah, we ough to describe this more in detail because that will be next week's step... Okay, here's a suggestion of how it could work and get everyone involved:
Final character designs- 4 people (2 on 'good', 2 on 'evil'): Making the final, single portrait for all characters. These sketches should have all features, details, posture, etc. as they are the base for the final result. I though perhaps 2 of us could work on the 'good' lineup and 2 on the 'evil' team.
Inking- 1 or 2 people: What I call 'inking' here is the process of going over the linework of the final designs and making sure it is evenly clean, crisp and of similar detail. It doesn't dramatically alter the original design, just evens out everybody's lines so the look is more uniform (eliminating blurriness, correcting varying line thickness, etc...).
Background design- 1 or 2 people: I put this step before colouring because the colours will depend on the background and lighting. I was thinking someone could create some background features, landscape and such for all the characters to be featured against (instead of an empty white). I figure it would be savanna features like dry grass patches, sand, rocks and baobab trees... Basically, creating a unique environment for all our characters to fit in, again, so everything is uniform. The background ought to be simple and subtle since the focus needs to be on the characters. But it would add a nice atmosphere.
Colouring- 1 or 2 people: This is about laying the colours, lighting and shadowing on top of the linework. I know 2 people is very little for such a big job, but the colours have to be consistent. The blending and choice of tones ought to remain uniform throughout; and since most people tend to have widely differing colouring techniques and styles, we can't really take a chance on having a final result that clashes. This would be the final step.
I hope this setup allows for everyone to get involved and still get a consistent final result. Any differing/further ideas are most welcome.

I realize there are indeed reptiles in Africa, I was only concerned about the overall feel to the group You do have a point, though, I somehow didn't realize that all others were all mammals! Maybe it'd be alright to keep it as it is. Like you said, it'd be interesting to have it with some dwarfish features (instead of strictly human), so I think that could prove as an interesting mix! If the others won't object, I think we should probably just stick to it after all, we really need to nail down those characters.
Yeah, we definitely don't need to be super strict about keeping it 50/50 gender-wise if we feel some characters work better as males. But when you described your idea of this old and wise monkey-lady, it suddenly came to me! I think possibly something like a big voodoo/shaman lady could work. I'm too all for making them quite unusual and not fitting the traditional beauty-code.
You listed the jobs nicely above! I too was thinking of these same 4 categories, I was just a bit unsure of how many would take care of each. The way you put it seems very fair and rational Okay, so all of us would do something in the first character designs, I like that. I don't mind which one I do, light or dark. As for the other jobs, I think I'm personally most confident in inking. I believe there are others in this team who are far more capable in colouring than I am, so I think I'll just stay away from that!
I know I'm thinking far ahead, but one thing we nonetheless need to address early in the design process is presentation. I'm talking about the way we present the final portraits. Are we gonna have them strictly 'regular', or could we maybe design a border around each and with an extra column with extra info about the character and their world, possibly some extra poses, sketches and such?
Remember how the team (yeeet again) GrogroZoo presented their characters? They had them as characters from collectible cards. I thought it was neat! I'm definitely not suggesting copying that, but I like the idea of having some sort of frame that unites the presentation of the characters.
So should we add another category to the job lists? Ooh, or maybe, instead, it could just "ride along" with the other existing groups? That is, the persons taking care of sketches would also sketch it and then the inking person ink it etc. I'm just throwing stuff out! Did anyone have something in mind already for the presentation perhaps?

Aww man, you were really busy here last night! Sweet!
Sekino Love the satyr concept! Also had that in mind on a certain point but decided to try the centaur first. I also like 3m's idea. We should go for it!
I have a problem with that human ape idea. I fear that it can end up like a terrible caricature quite easily (or it'll be something like Planet of the Apes - I'm not sure if we really want that). So I'd suggest simply take a human character. I'm usually not that pc but I think it would make things a lot easier - especially since we're suppose to make rather human characters anyway.
I think I agree on everything else. The tasks sound well organized that way. As I said I'd rather stick to drawing /painting parts and skip the inking. I'd be fine with slapping some paint on the background and characters as well. So just tell me what you need.
August 12th, 2009 #67
Great idea on sharing our tasks Sekino, I agree on everything.
About races: I think all animal like lineup would be best, and human character among all animal based characters will result in loosing our dynamics. That's only my opinion.
I'll try to do some background designs today, both for good, and bad characters.
August 13th, 2009 #68
Alright guys! Somehow we started communicating via PMs lately, but I thought it'd be convenient to recap what has been going on there.
3 or 4 characters?
I like how Sabrina put it in the latest PM. Quoted for convenience:
If anyone doesn't really like the sketching/drawing part, then we could just skip that and make 3 characters. Otherwise I'd say everyone picks a character and starts drawing. When the sketches are done we can still decide to scrap an idea that probably does not work as well as we thought. If everything is fine and we have enough time we could also decide on doing 4. Fair deal?
I think that'd work. What about the others?
Who takes who
Eh, stupid title But yeah, we had started to claim the characters in the PMs, so here's what we got so far:
- Sekino - Reptile/healer
- 3mMajster - Rhino/warrior
- AsaB - Human/wizard?
- Pretty_Angel - Gazelle/thief?
Sabrina, since you hadn't 'made your claim' yet, I just put the gazelle on the list above, figured you might maybe prefer her, since she was your idea. But if you'd rather do the human, I don't mind at all! I think they're both interesting characters

August 14th, 2009 #70
The list sounds good. I'll get started on re-designing the reptile dude (I'll 'Africanize' it further, too ).
Pretty_Angel- I believe it might be better to cover as many different classes as possible with the 4 characters. We already have healer/wizard class characters, but I don't mind changing my character to a thief if you feel you have good ideas for a healer.
August 14th, 2009 #71
Ehm... for the list we have 2 caster classes - a healer and a wizard/sorcerer. I actually like your healer lizard so my suggestion would be that we should rather change the human character (if that wasn't clear). Humans are quite flexible anyway. But I first want to know what Asa thinks of that.
If you think the Human should stay the wiz/sorc then I'd suggest make the Satyr rather a kind of hunter than a thief. Haha, it's not that I don't have enough ideas.
August 14th, 2009 #72
Okey dokey, let's hear what Asa wants to do with the human (I was under the impression she would go for some shaman-like wizard woman, but I don't know anything anymore ).
I can't really work on my final sketch until Sunday (leaving for the weekend) so if there needs to be a change on my side, just let me know. Otherwise, after Sunday, my reptile is officially a medicine-man
August 14th, 2009 #73
I allready did some sketches of my rhino warrior, but I'll post them on sunday, have to go now to the beer fest, and tomorow is my birthday, the beer is waiting for me.
August 14th, 2009 #74
I'm all for changing the class for the human! Sabrina, go right ahead if you'd rather make your gazelle a satyr-like sorceress Since I agree that Sekino's reptile character should be a healer, how about my human will instead take the gazelle's original class, namely thief or ranger of some sort? I'd definitely love to work with that
Okay, so is that final, then? That'd be nice to know so I can start the sketching!
Updating the list:
- Sekino - Reptile/healer
- 3mMajster - Rhino/warrior
- AsaB - Human/thief
- Pretty_Angel - Gazelle/sorceress
Majster, no problem, man, you enjoy your birthday and that beer Looking forward to see your sketches!

Since there are two male and one female you could go for a female character if you want. I don't really see why we should make females a minority here.
For the question of thief/assassin vs. ranger/hunter: That's a hard one. I like both ideas and I think both would fit into our team. In the end I'd say go with what you feel most comfortable with.
August 15th, 2009 #78
Thanks for the input, Sab! Yeah, I too was thinking of making it a female, but just wanted to check.
As for the class, I'm kinda divided, I really like both kinds! I'll just explore them both and see what works

Hi guys Just a heads up: I was wondering if everyone would be ready to post their character portraits (good + evil), say, by tomorrow evening?
I'm suggesting it because I realize next week is the last week to prepare the final presentation. It would be great to be able to finish the inking/cleanup this week and have all of next week to do the colours (I suspect that will be a lot of work).
How does that sound?
August 18th, 2009 #80
Sekino, I really like that two legged fawn character (elf + gazelle/satyr) She looks great and very unique. I'd love to see that character pushed a bit more and perhaps in a more dynamic pose.
Also I like THIS sketch, many of your works right now don't necessarily look like video game characters I'd like to take roaming around a hostile world and kick butt with. For example the digital paintings of the black humanoid characters in #66 posted by Pretty Angel simply look like portrait studies and not necessarily fantasy characters.
Anyways, keep pushing guys, cheers!

n1va Thanks a lot! Yeah, those studies where just that - studies and no real character ideas.
Sekino Sorry, I was kinda busy the last days. But you're right, we should hurry up!
So here are my ideas for the Satyr character:
(sorry for the sketchiness - I hope it's ok?)
I basically stayed close to Sekino's character design and added a bunch of accessories and tried some more dynamic poses as n1va suggested.
When you think of a fantasy RPG you usually have different armour sets consisting of headgear, jacket, pauldrons, gloves, pants and shoes or something along these lines. Usually you also have accessory like earrings, necklaces or rings. For the different classes these things vary a lot. So for the Satyr the set could look like:
Head - face paint
Jacket - wrap top
Upper arms - bracelet
Gloves - some more bracelets XD
Pants - loincloth
Shoes - more fancy bracelets lol
Weapon - staff
Offhand - magical focus
In addition: necklace + earrings
As for now, I can still change some things. So let me know if you have any ideas.

That looks great, Sab! I really like the costume elements. The 'sketchiness' doesn't hinder me for the inking, if you want me to get started on it. I will add a few details in the process (more definition on the clothing and accessories, etc...) but most of it will remain the same...
Actually, I think I'll start on it now and post the result ASAP so you guys can see my idea of 'inking' and makes sure you like how it turns out. Besides, I can't scan my own character yet because we're getting the printer fixed (it's an all-in-one machine- booo). But no worries, I'm getting it back this afternoon

Thank you very much! Feel free to add or correct anything you want when inking. One thing that's somewhat bugging me is that their faces look too different for my taste. So I'd be glad if you could correct that when inking.

Nice work there Pretty.
I'll post my character (good and bad) latter tonight, have to study little.

Okay, my printer is toast but my scanner is back I tried inking with the Wacom but it looked like a feathery mess, so I traced over my screen with thin paper instead so I could use ink... hehehe
I hope I didn't change it too much; I traced most of the elements-
So here are the exact changes I made:
-Altered a few minor proportions here and there
-I made her face a bit rounder and the features bigger to better see her expression
-Added details to the clothing and jewellery...
I figure details like the facepaint, fabric patterns and the motifs on the staff (that staff is awesome BTW!!) would look better painted in with the colouring since they're not solid edges. I inked patterns on the bracelets so they'd look engraved or carved as opposed to painted.
I also kept a larger PSD for the colouring, if needed.
Um, yeah. So that's the inking for ya Any feedback/changes? I'll check back before continuing (I have some work to do anyways). I'll post my reptiles soon...

That's looking great Sekino!
No changes are needed, this is perfect.
Here is my rhino warior, I think this should be a good version, the bad version should be done tonight also.
What do you think guys about it? If you think I need to change something please tell me.

Sekino Sweet! There are a few little things that are bugging me though:
- the hourglass silhouette is a bit extreme imho
- the connection of the leg to the hips could also need a little smoothing
- the shoulder looks a bit wonky
- is it just me or are her upper arms of different lengths?
- the bracelet on the arm looks a tiny bit wrong
Heck, I made a quick paintover:
3m Wow, the Rhino looks cool! My only critique would be that the arm he lifts up looks much longer than the other one.

And here is the bad guy. I'm not to happy how it turned out, I'll fix it tommorow, to tired now, must go to sleep.

I corrected the details you pointed out, Sab (You can see it in the original post: I replaced the old image instead of posting it here) About the arms, if I measure from the top of the shoulders to the inner elbow, they seem the same to me (give or take a couple of mm because of position, maybe?)
Nice rhino, 3M! I really like where you're going with the evil version, too (the shakles are a cool touch).
Also, I was playing around with ideas for the final presentation. I think each character is supposed to have its own image (i.e. they're not all on the same image in a lineup like last CHOW).
Here's an idea, sticking with the comic-book/cartoony feel (I used my old reptile sketch because it was already coloured- and I quickly pasted some savanna pic which would preferably be drawn instead, so it's just an example):
At the bottom could be the name of the race and the info on the character, I guess...

I received three videos, one for each part ordered. I followed the instructions and it was extremely easy! No hassles. One thing to mention was that I did need the electric adapter that was sent and the video said I did not need it. Glad it was in the box. I would definitely order from this company again. EASY!!! I am a 49 year old women and had no problems.
