Primo work. I have a few OC's but those more to flesh out characters that i couldn't draw. Some of my books characters or some of my Street Fighter concept characters. I'll see have to try to put them together somewhere.

I've been in the CAS recreating some of my OC's on PC with tweaks and creating new OC's. I blame @CESTUS III

All these custom characters pale in comparison to that gorgeous stage they're on. Can I just have glamour shots of the stage in that golden sunset light? What's the backstory on the stage? How old is it? Do you think the stage would like me if we met IRL?

Darc_Requiem · January 28

Trying to relax. This one didn't come out as well as I liked but I may revisit when my heads clearer.

Darc_Requiem · January 28

Tweaked Jack-O. Since she has broken Halo, I went a different route.

Spoiler

Closest thing I could get to "Jack-O pose"

Gave Miriam a shot. I think I did okay with her "tattoos"

i think it's a good job and mostly you're there, see what you can do with sticker work but once you reach the max of stickers/3d items there is'nt much you can do beyond optimize stuff you already did to free slots

My2cent next move i would do if i was you would be use "blue pocket" stickers turned black-light gray to add silver buttons and simulate the cloth to be vertically divided in two parts... done on both jacket and waist cloth will allow you with 4 stickers to add 8 buttons and create the illusion the two items are same long jacket

I appreciate the insight. I wish their was good skull accessory option. I was going to fake them with the Jack O' Latern's but you can't shrink them to a small enough size.

I think the mini voldo-mask as you did is the best option you had, would have done the same

Maybe you can see if you can manage to change the face (nose-mouth-chin) texture switching from flat silver to the skulls texture to make it fit someway

If is of any help i remember i did domething similar (used only chin part of voldo-mask) recreating Dampierre, who had similar size golden skull on stomach area, i think you can do the same, hiding the "blade+spiderweb" upper part inside the body (hip) and leaving out just the smooth chin part you need

But can't help much because i've no more SC on my PS4

Edit: here the pic (think you can zoom clicking on it)

I know a zoom pic on the detail would have helped more, but as said got no SC at the moment

@CESTUS IIII'll mess around with it some more. I was couldn't sleep I was a bit groggy when I did it. I tried to for amore bone like color on the masks but it I couldn't find anything that didn't look metallic. I'll give it another go when I try to implement your button suggestion.

Darc_Requiem · March 26

@CESTUS IIII took your concept but went with a different motif. If you try to use the pockets it leaves an outline. You can't make them solid black with just the buttons. I had already used to two stickers to give them a black glove on one hand to go with a white one on the other. That said, I figured out a way to get 12 buttons out of the remaining 6 sticker slots. You'll probably figure out how I did it. I mean this with all sincerity. You are the best Soul Calibur Create A Soul maker I've ever seen.

Edit: Oh I applied a pattern to the Voldo masks. It allowed me to get the bone grey look I was going for. It was the only way I could think of to get rid of the "metallic" hue any color had on them.

That's a tough one going by memory, if i have to bet i would say owl head sticker, with yellow owl turned full black to be invisible and eyes working as buttons

Btw i like the result, the silver buttons help break black surface and add detail

@CESTUS IIII tried my hand Black Widow.....one came out fine. Her original look though....it's really bad. Been to consumed with Fire Emblem Three Hopes to try to do something more acceptable.

Rainbow Mika (version 2) I'm proud of the improvised "RM" on her left leg.

Nice

Personally character creation wise i'm starting to pray for SF6, in particular 3 points

Pls be good and various to the point i can do good char recreations
Pls make the char playable (even just offline) like Ace was, with big editing on moveset
Pls give me multiple slots, i can turn this shit into most epic SF cast

Oops, edited my post to add Rainbow Mika version 2 and I see your response. I agree. If SF6 has a decent character creator, it'll will be worth it regardless. I've spent more time in the creator than the actual game for SC6 at tis point. I'm much more proud of my second rendition of Rainbow Mika. I thought my original was good then I went back and looked it.....it's awful. I've gotten so much better at the creator. Didn't realize how much until now.

Soulcalibur IV turns 14 years old today

I simultaneously loved and hated that game. IIRC it was the first fighting game with DLC characters, so thanks a lot, Namco.

But it was also the last Japanese fighting game that really looked truly "next-gen" when it came out. Visually it was absolutely spectacular at the time, even more so than SC1 was back in the day IMO. And I suppose it was also the birthplace of Hilde, who eventually turned out to be my favourite fighting game character with her SCV iteration. It's unfortunate they changed her so much in 6 that I hated playing her in that game.

Sensei @CESTUS III, I need an evaluation from the expert.

i think it's pretty good, only things i can think are

-you can use the blue pocket sticker to do the black parts on legs, it will add the special effect to give the illusion it's truly an extra layer

-if you have more sticker slots left, a black triangle in the middle of the bra may simulate the split top and the black part (the "body" of the spider) that Juri got there... without stickers you can probably obtain same result using patterns

Great job

I'll have to see any if I have any sticker slots left to try you bra idea. As far as the pants go I used all the slots already. All the black you seen on the pants are from four black triangle stickers. The pattern I used was solid but it didn't allow for me to get the look I was going for. I tried without stickers but none of the patterns quote worked for me. So I used the triangles to compensate.

Darc_Requiem · September 13

@CESTUS IIII didn't have any sticker slots left. That said, I thought a lot about the bra area. I tried to use a pattern to get the illusion you were going for in a different way. Now there are "8 legs" on the the spider. Before it seemed like only 4 legs. So I tried to simulate an additional four a best I could. I fiddled with a few patterns but this one seemed to do the job best IMO.

Kid: "I want Metroid."

Mom: "We got Metroid at home."

I could have made a better Zero Suit but I wanted to I wanted to make a Varia Suit Samus that armor broke into Zero Suit. Edit: I also gave her 2B's move set. So you when you do the suicide special she goes from Varia Suit Samus to Zero Suit Samus

Thanks, I wish I had more sticker slots. If I had just one more, I could have improved the lower half of the Zero suit. It's kind of jank but I'm really proud of the helmet.
