Sam- you can ask it right here if you like, or pm me. Whichever you like!

Okies! I'm going to be launching a big art contest in the fall and I don't have much yet in the way of character refs. The character art style for the expert tag hits the spot for what I'd realllly like. Would it be possible that your artist(s) would be available for a commission on the side to do a few char refs? I have a good mountain of pure and the time frame to do them is until september, so no rush. *ees*

[Zirca]

We don't need any more bases/poses >u< But clothing and hair would be great! Props are awesome too- I want to draw up some items for people to add too (thats what goes in the 'other lineart' section xD)

[Nerpin]

XD AFAIK, the artist who did the main linearts that was used for the certing temp is in the mule atm **. kuku @ Sam.

One quick question that I'm pretty sure I saw someone ask but I just want to make sure - is it okay to edit a female pose and make them male character? @__@;

O.o ooooh? Good timing and a good compliment I suppose!

/colors the flats for her first character/ One of the pre-made edits for the Mench were almost exactly perfect for my Sophia, so I couldn't resist!

Yes, surr, it's somewhere on the second page, states that the base genders are really just a suggestion~ <33

/intends to use the female thin and normal Koshka for a male char XD./

@ Zirca - Wow! well it's quite well stacked in that case! biggrin
And we found a really simple way to do image mapping as long as the areas are geometric that you just need text and paint (to figure out the coordinates) to do - but it does require a webhost that can support .map files. (you edit it with text, but you need it to recognize it).

And I have another question :3 If I'm eager and go about editing/coloring some of the base linearts and later I decide to utilize a templated lineart and/or use some clothing or hair edits someone makes, can you "update" your character after it's been made?

And Bane - you're kidding, right? Your digital(?) inking is so smooth!

[surreality]

Awesome! *will start on zidane today so that she doesn't have to worry about the week-long claim ending* He's going to be on thin female koshka lines, with barely any traits aside from the tail and a few other fur clumps on his ears. It's going to be ...legendary! *will assume nobody sees the show she referenced* XD

[Nerpin]

/admits to thinking you mean FF9, Zidane Tribal 8>;;/

[surreality]

Yup, I'm doing Zidane Tribal. However, I was talking about the "it's going to be...legendary!" comment. It's something a character in How I Met Your Mother always says. xD

[Zirca]

Hmmm, I'm afraid this is not so easy to answer.

Samax, aka Deadums@ DA did the character design for me while we were sitting in a digital video lecture xD I then tweaked it a bit and did the actual illustration. Her character design is years better then mine- but I think her gallery would speak more to that :3 Heres the original illustration.

I used the female kosh lines as a template for my dude XD Just because the pose fitted him so well. And nah Sabin, I have to freehand it all (no illustrator) when it's edits, otherwise it takes forever and a day.
