Oh.. my.. GOSH! Rikku and Azure look fricken AMAZING In your artsyle! This is turning out to be really fantastic so far, keep up the good work my man!
OH! if its not too much trouble, could you add in the chest crystal, and the light tanish.. brown? -outlines around the feathers (not the feathers themselves) on Azura's armor? You left those out. (not to sound picky or anything ><)
I've been having trouble with the background so I'm gonna have to figure that all out later. The bottom half of the poster, I don't like how everyone's situated down there. Looks sparse. But I'm gonna try to see if I can get something that looks good going. We'll see!
The composition of the top half is definitely looking good. Have you considered changing the position of the canvas from a vertical to a horizontal layout? That might give you an easier time fitting in all the characters and it might look good.
The latest update looks awesome, you are doing a wonderful work Biff .
I made some color changes to my griffon character, Blade Duskfeather, I'm posting a link to the latest reference for him here, so you can consider it when coloring him, thank you!
Looks amazing biff! Only correction i'd have for you is with Exi's wing, needs a bit of fade to white towards the feather ends. Is it too soon to ask for the individual character images?
Agreed. Seems like it should have been done by now.
Well, if you look back at the posts it was supposed to have been done around end of November, lol. To put it in better perspective, that's eight months ago.
So, this is officially the 53rd week of the project... and it was a HUGE project! But totally, let's be real here... its a long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long wait for paying customers (because thats what they are).
Hopefully by next update everyone will have their respective pieces.
C'mon guys I'm sure Smacky'd like to have this off his plate just as much as we'd like to see the finished result! Yes its taken longer- but consider he has a life, a job, has had computer problems, more then double the amount of characters he expected to have [and some of them are bloody intricate] and he's colouring them to boot, for our 10 bucks we can be patient a little while more.
Hey everyone! I'll be honest, I expected more pitchforks here.
Anyway I don't want to lay out a bunch of excuses and crap, but I'll just say the past few months haven't been easy. But I'm back to work and back online and ready to get back down to business.
I know this project is super late and I apologize sincerely to everyone for having to wait so long. I know some of you are upset, and I get it. It's perfectly understandable. However, know that I'm doing my best to get this done. All that out of the way, it's time for an update! I've been getting back to work on these colors the past few days and have knocked out a bunch of the characters. Colors are 3/4 done! ALL characters are finally in, too. Hooray!
Some of you will notice I've skipped around a bit on the colors. Another lesson learned: download the reference images. A lot of Photobucket links are no longer valid (some are telling me to upgrade my account to enable third party hosting?) so I haven't been able to look up some of the references. If your character is still uncolored and you use Photobucket as your host, feel free to post references again. In particular, I started Mechakitty and only had a few shots saved so I couldn't finish colors on her, and Deathwish's weapons as well.
imgur.com and postimg.org seem to be very reliable and they're free to use, so I encourage people to try them for image hosting. Also my computer loads Photobucket super slow, and that don't help none.
Oh also, I'm sure you'll notice, some of the characters are obscured by others. I still haven't gotten the placement of all the characters down, and I'm gonna leave that until everyone's colored up. I'm thinking a horizontal image might work better, but I don't know. We'll see.
Anyhow, the update is on the first page, but here it is again for your easy listening pleasure:
I think soon I'll start rolling out the individual character images for all the colored ones.
Could you add in the chest crystal, and the light tanish.. brown? -outlines around the feathers (not the feathers themselves) on Azura's armor? You left those out. (not to sound picky or anything ><)
New update with 5 more characters fully colored - Sho Nuff, Saga Venefica, Arctic Flare, Mechakitty, and Protogen!
I also did a small round of fixes to Azura, Owl Woman, Swashbuckler, and... not sure who else. Maybe that's it. For Azura, let me know if I did it right. I wasn't sure exactly what you wanted.
You know what? This should be one of those rubdown picture transfer things. Where you'd have bunch of pictures and one big scenery picture and you just rub those pictures into it. (Has a flashback back to early 1980's with DC heroes and Star Wars and stuff).

Hey Biff, it's great to see you are doing progress with the community drawing , I read what you said about some of the character's references not being correctly displayed, I've checked the posts where I linked some of them to you, I can confirm they no longer work, so here we go again, I'm posting some references of my characters here.
First, let's start with Drakk'hen, you can find some references of him here, please let me know if you require something a bit more specific, ok?
Hi the Biff!!, good to see the progress on the comunnity drawing, one of my friends told me about the character references that have links that doesn't works and I entered to check if mine had that problem, and they do.
So I'm here to share them again, first my favorite character Fefnir:
Looks amazing biff! Only correction i'd have for you is with Exi's wing, needs a bit of fade to white towards the feather ends. Is it too soon to ask for the individual character images? </p>
Incase you missed it, Biff. Notice the fade in the wings from dark to white inside?
I second this proposal. If we are getting individual illustrations of our characters as well as the entire poster, this is entirely achievable for the individual player.
Oh, and Aiko looks… *cries* …AWESOME! And standing next to OG as requested, too! Thank you for the hard work involved in this, Smackwell!

Ah, I see. It's something in Firefox. In Chrome it works fine. I will repost my images when I return home mid-week.
