Fantastic work!

You pulled off the touch of feline features perfectly. And the claws look particularly brual. Great stuff! I'm flattered the character inspired you.

I'm glad you like it. She's been one of my favorites since the beginning, drawing her was a pleasure. Girls like Khaali and Annette have to back each other up, hehe... Not really sure what category has both of them... But... You know... Guess that would be girls who went before their time and will take off the tallywhacker of anyone who disagrees! Hehehe.

I have to say thanks to everyone who helped vote my character into the top 12 I had no idea he would even make it this far! Especially since he was lacking any sort of picture to show what he looked like. I'm both impressed and grateful at this outcome (though I still hope to get a picture of him lol)

I have not been active due to going to multiple job interviews, job center meetings, and taking my son to his kid play groups. Barely had time to post anything on here let alone the net itself.

Sorry guys and ghouls...

Well Malice is out but thanks for all those who voted for her
I would love to hear any feed back on her if possible

Sweet Jumpin' Jehosefats, Harle! That looks A-MAZING!

What 'guiney said.

Wow I'm losing hard lol. Oh well I'm gonna vote for the last leg of the competition it be a waste if I didn't

That made my day dude. Thanks! it means a lot that some have taken Serenity so well.

And well to answer your question i don't want to either
1)screw up Serenity's story by updating it
2)create a new character that might not be as good as Serenity (or just plain suck lol)
3)Not do so well in the tourney by doing reason #1

I have a couple of ideas of what i might do next but nothing is certain.
either update Serenity (do a better written- bio, added moves, new fatalities/xray)
introduce a character that ties into Serenity's story (a villain sent to kill her)
a completely different character (with no tie in to Serenity)



sorry if i wrote the answer here cause i didnt want to fill up the voting thread by my answer lol

I wanna update Akari's story but I don't wanna screw it up since he was good enough to make the top 12 of this contest.

I'd love to give Lorsid another shot, and flesh out her story a bit more (I think maybe she was *too* mysterious to a lot of people), but she was really always meant to be a one-hit wonder, with her story and all.

I have another character in mind that I think would do well....just got to come up with a solid story for him/her....


muahahahaha

If others update their character i might feel little bit better doing the same with Serenity

I never expected to make it to the top 12 on what little I had, that makes me so happy. I definitely wanna put more work into Marek.

I definitely think you should; All the stuff that came out in the KaK roleplaying thread really painted a nice picture of Marek.

On a side note, our battle begins soon. My plan is to vote early and avoid the forum as best I can for the rest of tomorrow and then check on Sunday to see who won. If I don't do that, I'll be refreshing the voting page every 5 minutes and won't get anything done

It just occurred to me that im going against kruor in the semi finals

aww man. ok ok breathe breathe think happy thoughts *breathes into paper bag)

@Ab_Horrence i answered your question from the voting thread in this thread idk if you saw it haha

lol, yeah I saw your response I just forgot to respond :P

I like your idea of a villain to compliment Serenity. That's the route I would take if you can find the inspiration and if you don't want to ruin what you have with the Time Goddess now. Maybe the villain could be an opposite of Serenity; like a God of the void (like a vacuum where there is no time) or something to that effect.

@Guardia: I think you could flesh out Akari a little more, give us a little more idea of what he's like as a person but I think you should go with a new character too.

I was thinking of doing that in the KAK Roleplay thread but he may come off as stiff or cheesy. Also if I were to take his story further it would involve forming a new Edenian resistance and hunting down Edenian traitors who allied themselves with Kahn or blindly following a certain someone's lies (NOT Quan Chi)

I wonder if i even can do that. there might be some users that are new and wouldn't understand my reference to Serenity

@GuardiaXIV you should try the role play thread, no one will think he's stiff or cheesy lol

I just might do that.
And I just might do that too. XD

Since Deon is now eliminated, would any artist like to take a stab at Deon?


Whenever my Soul Calibur 4 arrives via mail, I'll make sure to post my own updated look, but I'd like to see an artist's interpretation of him, thanks in advance.

My review of Shiku for TheBigMistake after so many delays lol.

Bio: The bio is well written, easy to read, and follow. My one issue is that he doesn't really seem to have an established motive for going to the tournament, i know he's in search of the people of his village, but what about a fighting tournament would lead him to go there? Why did he leave Earthrealm for Outworld?I think this bio could benefit from more elaboration.

Fighting style: A more defensive and ranged character, a nice and unique addition to the tourney, not much else to add.

Special moves: I'm a bit puzzled by this section because in Shiku's bio his staff seems to be a very important weapon, important enough for him to be worried about rebels stealing, looking at his special moves, he does not use his staff in any of them, I think that is a missed opportunity. I don't like the idea of a nunchuck projectile either and I feel that the lack of staff work or staff special moves for a character who would seem staff reliant seemed unfitting. I do like On your mark and Back at ya though, my advice would be to incorporate more staff work, it seems like he's more of an up close and speedy character as opposed to a ranged one, which is a contradiction to his fighting style description.

Costumes: i like the blue and red costume, the sash belt, and arm guantlets look superb.

I like the second costume because it gives him a desert bandit or wanderer feel.


X-ray: Glorious, I am so pleased you used his staff in his X-ray. The X-ray is unique and described well, making it easy to picture, thumbs up.


Fatalities: A mixed array of finishers, described with suitable detail and radically different from each other.


Taunts: The hammock win pose was unique and intriguing, the others were suitable, pretty standard stuff, serve their purpose.



Ending: It's intriguing to see Shiku be a more neutral character in his ending, he was so desperate to discover the truth about his past that he aligned himself with Quan Chi, khameleon's inclusion was an interesting twist, but she is not Edenian, she's a Zaterran, I know it's nitpicky, but the canon story is important. I think an explanation for Khameleon collaborating with Quan Chi could also help further and enhance the ending. It was well written and leaves him with a purpose for returning

Overall: Good design, well written bio and ending, diverse array of fatalities, X-ray is great as it incorporates his staff.

Shiku could benefit from having more elaboration in his bio and giving him special moves that involve his staff and more fitting to his theme of being a ranged character as opposed to nunchucks, which are more well known for being an up close weapon.


Shiku does many things right, others could use some work, but you should be proud of your character, these are just my interpretations.

I hope my review was helpful

I'll just leave this here



Now this by no means a final product. This is just a quick work up of what I think a select screen with our characters could look like. And don't freak out if your character isn't here, it doesn't mean I don't think you belong in the group it just means

A) You didn't have a picture

B) You had a picture that didn't work for a mugshot

C) or I just plain out haven't gotten to yours yet.

Who's in it right now? So far, I meant.

Thanks for the encouragement I've already started his journey in that thread! Also would anyone want to review my character?
