Description Morrigan: *sigh* These idiots can't wat TWO seconds for me to move out of the way before trampling me flat.

When you throw a party, make sure your guests aren't too overeager!
At least Morrigan will make a fancy staircase rug for the party guests until the night is over.

===

This has to be my most difficult piece to date. Getting the illusion of a staircase style flattening in XNA wasn't easy. It took a lot of models and Photoshop work, but it's always fun trying something new!

What is this? Some kind of human form for Morrigan or is this Morrigan different from the succubus from Darkstalkers

It's casual Morrigan, an alternate costume for her.

That would be funny if Felicia held up Morrigan in the air
while she is still shaped like the staircase she was flattened on. XDD

She would put a pole up morrigan's butt and use
her for one of those little umbrella for your drinks.
It would have to be a large drink, though.

She could also be used as pleats for a fireplace bellow blower.

And I'm trying. I have a few more ideas coming but I'm not sure if they're as creative as this. Idk how you manage to just keep going up. I feel like when I put something out particularly unique, I can't always top it for a good while >.<

ammysun In reply to DepthDropper [2014-06-02 17:37:24 +0000 UTC]

Well, that's not really true I don't think. There are some chapters where I'll think "wow, I really fucked that one," or "this part definitely could have been better." But as I keep saying, we are our own worst critics ^^

DepthDropper In reply to ammysun [2014-06-02 17:41:11 +0000 UTC]

Hah okay maybe I'm being a bit too praise-ey. What I meant by that though is that you always seem to have a new idea that makes me go "hah, that's a good one!" I already feel like I'm doing re-runs of the same stuff >.<
But yeah, that last part is so true XD

ammysun In reply to DepthDropper [2014-06-02 19:28:06 +0000 UTC]

Heh, well I certainly like to try Just how did you create that effect by the way? For a second it made me think there were other ways to manipulate flattened models in XNA, but it's just fancy editing in Photoshop and using multiple models, right?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

DepthDropper In reply to ammysun [2014-06-02 19:39:09 +0000 UTC]

It was kinda complicated, but yeah that's the basics of what I did. Many models and Photoshop. There are a bunch of uncannily distorted Morrigan models underneath that staircase lol.
So let's just take the head and torso for example. I just stretched the head out waaaaayyyyy far away from the body, flattened the head, and hid the rest of the body under the staircase. Then for the torso, I scaled the legs and head pretty much out of existence, flattened it, and put it right under the head.
Each body part was different, but those are basically the things I did to create this effect. And after I took a picture of the image, I smoothed it out in Photoshop.
...Did I lose you?

ammysun In reply to DepthDropper [2014-06-02 19:56:02 +0000 UTC]

Not at all! That's actually really interesting! Do you have the scene saved still? I think it would be interesting to see what all those models look like underneath, like, what we're not supposed to see? ^^
