I like those characters. Flecher's nose seems a little funny to me, though.
I just got this idea all of a sudden from looking at Gin-Gin's reference. The ones that are sandwiching Ashworth. XD What if he had the power to make illusion clones made of lightning that shock the heck out of people who touched them? He seems like a long range attacker to me.

Very awesome concepts, Elson! Although someone commented about this already, but the bird guy kinda looks like Storm from Sonic Riders. >.> I've read some of your comic pages, and they are rockin'! XD Keep on the awesome work, mate!

Ooo! You may be right! XXD Actually I still haven't decided on his species type though! XD

Lmao, but he looks like a pretty cool character. LEVEL 4!!!! Wrangar looks sweet too.

Oh my gosh! Little Duke! Any he's happy looking! Hahaha, how cute, I love his face! XXD
Anyway, this vast ammount of concepting is really cool to look at. Right now I've fallen in love with Fletcher. Mostly because of his bionic arm.
However... I was thinking, with a bionic arm, not only made of probable heavy metal, but larger then his other arm, won't it throw his balance off? It seems like it would make sense to consider the physics of his situation, with the arm, to maybe give him something to counter weight just like a brace-weight or something? I've found that with a few of my Cyborgeal characters, it seems unrealistic to have these heavy, powerful limbs that look like they could crush people, (For chapter 2 of the game, T.D. you face the ABC -Andriod, Bionic, Cyborgeal- crew as a boss.) and be able to function properly with one side of thier body weighted down. It just feel unrealistic to me. Unless his arm was hollow or something then it would work, but for a man who looks like he puts more brawn into his fighting instead of speed, it doesn't seem realistic that he would be able to dodge damage to it easily and thus it seems it would be more beneficial for it to be solid and heavy. Then again, I'm putting a lot more thought into this then I should and remember that this isn't exactly real life, and I don't know the complete dynamics to your character, such as which metals are being used, the density of said metal, how heavy he is minus the limb, the weight of the arm itself nor the fighting style he uses and his daily life, so I can't honestly say that my feed back is useful. X_x *Robot nerded*
Anyway, I love a lot of the character concepted here. I find it cool how you manage to make them same species as others and yet uniquify them so they appear different yet the same. This is an awesome concept upload, one of my favorites yet! XD Gib-gib looks familiar to me for some reason though... Have you drawn him before?
Also Osram reminds me of the Panda King from Sly Cooper. (Why do Firework guys have to be so big! XXD)
These new Bandits are definately something to watch out for! Go villians go! Make that story interesting and cool!

Who Gin-Gin? No I haven't drawn him before! LOL!! XXD
And it's funny how you mentioned about Sly Cooper!! I'm currently getting a hold of all three games from EBay for reserach purposes (to study the character designs and such). Well I'm also playing it for entertainment purposes of course!
Goodness me you ARE thinking too much about the physics! Great analysis and presentation of fact though! I really appreciate that! But this is a cartoon after all and anything can happen!
Just think of Fletcher having trained his upper body strength so much that balancing his improportionate weight on both arms withut any hitches. ^_~
π: 0 β©: 1
Really? Then why am I getting a Deja vu feeling from him?
LOL! Ahh, good ol' Sly Cooper my true inspiration to put a foot on the path of Video Game designer. XD Good luck with the games. They're no easy feat. I've been stuck on the second one 'stop and go' style for about two years. X_x;
I thought so. XD Yeah, you're right. For cartoons I way over thought that, heheh. Guess I'm strongly reality based. Sure, we'll go with that!

The big guy in the lower right corner looks like Storm the Albatross of the Babylon Rogues...
I can't wait for the Parmir saga!
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah Parmir saga is going to be an exciting one! = ) It's going to be Ruby's first BIG adventure with the TGAF crew!
π: 0 β©: 1

First the "Roadkill Gang", now the "Thunderbolt Bandits"??? What's next? "Pottasium Mafia"???
π: 0 β©: 1
What's next? "Pottasium Mafia"???
LMAO! XXXD
π: 0 β©: 0
So these are the Thunderbolt bandits that you told before....
Chibi Duke Vienna...irrecognizable, LMAO!!!!!
And even Almeida Garreth is there! (a buldog?)
Funny, I thought that Fletcher was the leader, but after all is the big bird there (he looks powerful in terms of brutal strenght....and in many cases that kind of characters arenΒ΄t very smart oΓ?)
Level 4?? WhatΒ΄s the meaning of that?
Basically these are the concepts for ParmirΒ΄s saga, thatΒ΄s right? CanΒ΄t wait to see the ones about Fei!

Before I read that not I will reply to this!
Yes it is indeed the Thunderbolt Bandits that I told you about before. No they're not the full on brutal type. They are actually quite cunning and dangerous.
Level 4 is a higher potential reached by the magic user. Compare to a rookie of Level 1, the Level 4 magic user is very powerful.
Yup these are made for Parmir's saga right after Ruby and Ash had an adventure together first. *thumbs up* Now then off to see that note! XXD

I was been stupid in the note, IΒ΄m sorry.
π: 0 β©: 2
Holy crap!! LMFAO! XXXXXXD
I thought you sent me a reply!! (I saw 1 note on my inbox) But when I checked it was from someone else! X_X;;; Whoops! LMFAO! XD
Were you planning to send me another one? O.O Or maybe you accidently didn't send me a reply to what I wrote to you regarding how you can improve on your colouring!
Geez now I look really silly. = ) It doesn't matter though I've made my point and I want you to be very clear with what I said. If you have any doubts please
let me know. *thumbs up*
π: 0 β©: 0
Hmm I just came back online to see how things are. ^^
Hmm? You've been stupid in the note? O.O Well I haven't read it yet actually but allow me to make a point before I go read it.
If you are not happy with the note I wrote then that's okay. You asked for critique and you got one - fair?
Secondly in my entire experience as an artist and building reputation as Darkspeeds I've never been so harsh with feedback. I think it's the first time I used the word 'dull' ever!! XXD
Ana if you were to ask for honest opinions expect something that will be honest. I remember when I had people coming to me they told me to give feedback on their
work. I simply gave them the usual 'oh it's great! keep up the way colouring/drawing your art!'. Years later I see only slight improvements. Though there have been some cases where some have improved significantly from my all positive feeback (those are in rare cases though).
This time with a more serious artist like yourself I approached it differently - hence it explains why I used such a strong and blunt comment such as 'your colouring is dull'.
I expected you to take those seriously (maybe you did! XXD) but from what you told me here you seem a little upset. I hope not to offend. I only meant to help (with a different approach this time) ^^
Anyway I look forward to reading this note you sent me.
Let's see what you have to say.
