Hate Zixer more than I do already? My dear, I don't believe that is possible.

(You'll prove me wrong though, of course)

MRDOD, Zixier believes that Hoquer's Evil traits make him a bad person, even though he also possesses more Good traits than most people can claim; probably more than Zixier himself has. Quite frankly, Zixier is likely to punish people for only the most minor of heresies - if he was a character in 1984 he'd be more orthodox than Symes.

However, despite his attempts at being Good, Zixier is still fundamentally flawed. He's arrogant, judges others so harshly and is very vindictive. I do believe he has problems controlling his temper. Perhaps he does something to Nozoma?

I could believe Zixer doing something to Nozoma. I can't believe Pick having Zixer do something Zixer-ish to Nozoma. That's why I ruled it out- Metagaming ftw.

On the other hand, it would make us all hate him. It's plausable it could be something scarring and terrible but non-fatal, which wouldn't interfere with the plot.

Actually, I'd almost be willing to bet it *does* have something to do with Nozama. I really don't see any other weakness for Zixer to exploit. He could invoke some obscure law and make a case that Hoquer is unfit to have an apprentice/foster daughter and the Monarch would be obliged to split them up.

Interesting train of thought just went flying through my head: you say victory music, I think Final Fantasy; then I jumped to the victory music scene in Advent Children, in which (if you haven't seen it) a silver haired man with fantastic combat abilities appears. Hoquer has silver hair, and fantastic combat abilities. Will he appear? Will Zixier get the absolute living shit beaten out of him (doubtful, but hey)?

I can't wait.

RAR?

Sorry, I had to.
But anyways, I am, as always, impressed by your ability to convey emotion, even with just a sketch like that. I'm starting work on that in my own drawing (although, mastering the shape still remains at the forefront of my efforts).

Fruity little devil!

Opencanvas 4 Plus

That's evil Shader? No offense, but he looks a bit more... depressed... than evil. I guess maybe I can see that working, with him being so... angelic-looking and yet slightly "off" as he kills people, burns villages, and generally acts somewhat unnice to human life and dignity, but IMO, This Shader gets the evil better.

Unless you meant "Evil", in which case yes his fur is rather dark and his nails are pointy now.

Pick · Post by **Pick** » 2006-05-29 06:30pm

Shader hasn't gone completely Evil, though. He's running the line with a bit of both sides. The reason Alder's so bloody pissed at Shader is that Shader doesn't care.

Oh, something dawned on me, though.

These are Opencanvas, so there's event files I can upload that show the progression of the piece in question, insofar as it was accomplished digitally. If anyone wants to see these event files (which play like movies) I'll upload them and give you a link to where you can download a thirty-day trial of the program required to play them.

Just in case you're curious

I'd like to have such a thing availible, certainly. I'm interested in seeing your work process.

Opencanvas

Then just tell me which files you'd like to see

(name images.) I don't have event files for some of the older ones, though, because I lost them when I reformatted. Anything remotely recent, though, I should have

Well, I suppose Shader up there is as good as any a place to start.

Thanks.

And wow, that is an impressive program. I'll have to give it a try.

I think you'd have to tone down the cannibalism just a bit.
