Hey, everybody! I posted something dark! I'm so dark and something is wrong with me so I'm taking advice and I'm going to use sticks and bricks to KILL MYSELF!!!
Anyway...
Here is the last official picture of 2010 (even though I still have a small backlog of pieces from 2010 I need to post), depicting an old character of mine from 2001 named Shrapnel (Yes that is his real name and I'm not changing it). I originally created him to serve as a relative of a character belonging to my Ex-boyfriend, so he shares some attributes with that character (that is, if my Ex even still draws and writes stories like he used to). Thanks to ~BlackDove42 Shrapnel has some new origins. She also suggested I give Shrapnel something like a "Double Shoulder Socket," which made the alignment (or lack thereof) of his arms a little easier to draw. besides, if Hindu people can do it (a la Shiva), then so can I, right?
I don't see Shrapnel and *screamin-jazzy 's Joshua Craig getting along well at all. Yay! Mortal Enemiesez!
Shrapnel hails from a semi-aquatic and rather amorous four-armed race known as the Kardozo, who have origins via Alchemy in Venice during the Italian Renaissance. Over the centuries, the Kardozo have migrated to every [warm] corner of the Earth, usually taking residence in sewers or along shorelines in seaside caves. They never revealed themselves to humans simply because humans fear what they do not understand.
When the first wave of Apocalypse came to pass, the Kardozo found they no longer had a reason to hide, and begin work as bodyguards and concubines for the rich and powerful.
While not interested in him sexually, the Anti-Christ known as Damien Lucifer hired the Kardozo known as Shrapnel to be one of two personal bodyguards when his Four Horsemen were out culling the planet for renegade Neo-Children. He was impressed by Shrapnel's ability to immobilize his opponent with his pheromone and then flay them alive in a matter of seconds.
If there's enough interest, I may allow people to make their own Kardozo, but you have to follow certain guidelines when it comes to appearance.

Extra Information
† His pheromones have never worked and probably never will work on Hotaru. This is probably due to her being part machine...or her Nanites.
† Also, Shrapnel's pheromones will not work on Morpheus, possibly because his mutated "Metafluke" genes have rendered him one of the Living Dead. The same can be said for other denizens of the "Living Dead" such as Nurse Carla, Hughbert Gallowsmere, and Mateo HallowAxe.
† On the other hand, when/if Dr. Ryan is exposed to Shrapnel's pheromones, he is driven into an uncontrollable rage (and STILL no boner; only Mel can do that) at which he tries to kill his target (i.e Shrapnel himself) as well as anyone unlucky enough to get in his way.
† An overdose of Kardozo pheromone CAN kill a normal human in seconds (since being exposed to Kardozo pheromones is the equivalent of an Ecstasy trip).
† Is has been theorized by multiple scientists that, if Shrapnel and Felicity ever had sex, the mixing of their pheromones would create a "Super Plague" that would wipe out the entire Earth's population, including humans, demons, and animals, Most Sea-Life, and most Plant Life.

Ah, well hopefully the tutorial link I sent you will help. If you want to do the arms below arms approach, you could always study pics of Mortal Kombat's Shokan race.
She sounds interesting. Does her particular race have a name?

You know I really don't know. The group she was with always called rat-monkey. I'd love to give her race a name, I can't think of one.
Lets see...I know she has 4 arms, a long quick like tail, long ears. Sharp teeth, retractable claws, and immunity to acids and stuff. So I have noo idea.
I'll start working on her in pro sketch thing..trail program I has.

Well done! I like how you got the arms to come out. There's something different about his face that you've managed to capture, something totally different about his face from many of your other characters. I also like that the definition under his clothes is a little muted. You know that he's ripped underneath, but it's not so obvious.
Well done!

He's a cool and dark looking character. I like his muscular build a lot, and his shoulders/arms turned out great too (a negative example that comes to mind would be the four-tittied Goro in MKD/MKA )
I'm digging the bladed gauntlets, they make him look even more dangerous

And why is it Kintaro and Sheeva both have one set of tits?
Did you click the link on my "Dark Comment"? It'll take t=you to a journal I made chronicalling a distubing yet lulzy incident that took day a few days ago.
Anyway, thank you. I really paid attnetion to the muscle details on this on, espcially since it wasn't a "Man-Up" piece.

I can't remember, and I consider myself lucky for that
Laziness, as it was expected from Midway. They re-used Goro's model from MKD's Gamecube (or whatever the fuck Nintendo's console at the time was) version but they made new ones for Kintaro and Sheeva. At least they weren't made fun of...
I'll check them out. I admittedly have been lazy in the past 10 days because of the holiday season...... and Soul Calibur IV

HotaruThodt In reply to LadyMadCat [2011-01-03 06:41:19 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, other weird things I noticed in Konquest Mode was Subzero's BLUE scar (it turned red when you fought him) and Reiko's lack of White streak (which appeared when you fought him too).
Oh, good news! I was reading up on MK9 and Sindel's been confirmed for the game roster. I also read that "If we had a favourite character from the first 3 MKs, they were very likely to be in MK9." SO here's hoping Sheeva gets in too.
lolz. Well, SCIV sounds like just as good a reason as any. I only submitted two other things though. "World of make Believe" and "Terminus 2525 Promo" so you don't have too much to comment on.

LadyMadCat In reply to HotaruThodt [2011-01-03 12:36:31 +0000 UTC]
The funny thing is, I probably noticed all those back when I played MKA, and I've forgotten about everything...
Long live the Queen! I can't wait to see a proper render of her! .....if NRS will release anything at all, they've never been good-hearted with the fans when it comes to concept arts - see Namco and their beautiful renders/painted concepts for example, NRS should learn from them!
Then that means Sheeva is in, cool! And characters like Baraka, Stryker and Kabal. The leaked sound files confirmed Noob Saibot and Smoke too, and Kintaro as well IIRC. So the only characters who are in "trouble" are Rain and Jade..... I really like the former and I'm neutral about the latter, and I'd trade them for the male shokans or Noob & Smoke anytime! I'm very curious about who's not going to make it in the end...

HotaruThodt In reply to LadyMadCat [2011-01-03 12:52:34 +0000 UTC]
lolz. I didn't notice until I started playing through a third time (I started a new file because I wanted to play over again) and started noticing weird shit. ^.^;
PLus no characters are going to share moves or poses this time! Yes! And you're right abut Namco. I really love looking as SC's concept art for example. It gives me ideas.
And it also means Goro and Kintaro should make it in too, and maybe Motaro with FOUR leggy wegs!
Is it weird that I find Kabal kind of attractive? I think its his mask. ^.^;
I like Rain and I kind of love Jade. Maybe Tanya will make it in too (of we're lucky enough for MK IV to sneak in). I mean I'm pretty sure of Tanya had been in MK3, she would have been a recolour ninja.
Well we know Hsu Hao and Chameleon are never going to ake it into any other MK Games, but I'm holding out hope that Hotaru and Havik will be in future games. Besides, I wanna see what Havik's self-mutilating moves will look like powered by the PS3.

LadyMadCat In reply to HotaruThodt [2011-01-03 20:10:55 +0000 UTC]
Maybe this will be the first MK where everyone will have separate voices, moves and poses?! I really hope so!
I wonder what they'll do with Motaro this time? Maybe he'll be an unplayable boss with 4 legs? Fans would probably prefer that over mutilation again.
Hehe, Kabal fits in with your "weirdo" characters, and I mean it in a good way. Before his face got scarred, he looked very attractive
I have zero hope for Tanya or anyone else post-UMK3, although Quan Chi will probably make it, sadly But, should they ever make a "regular" new MK game, then I'd badly want her, Hotaru and Havik in! Havik breaking his own neck in PS3 graphics would be pure bliss!

HotaruThodt In reply to LadyMadCat [2011-01-04 13:58:08 +0000 UTC]
Well they said no one would have the same moves or poses, so there's hope.
I'd rather see him unplayable with four legs instead of that damned cripple thing from MKA. ^.^;
That and I'm a sucky for "Speedy" characters in my fighting games.
Shinnok might make it too, even though he always makes me thinking of Rankin-Bass villains for some reason,. I'm sure I've mentioned that already.
Hell, I'd even want to see Li Mei come back if only to see Hotaru kill her in PS3 graphic glory.

That's why you like Maxi then (I really should train with him more, he has some fluid combos!)
I had to google Rankin-Bass, LOL, so I don't think you mentioned it yet I kinda get what you mean, it's probably his stiff face, showing only a little negative emotion. His portrait which sometimes appears at the main menu of MKA is the best example.

Exactly. I have an OC in SCIII with his moveset. She's a bouncy catgirl with pink hair named Kitrizaka. I also like playing Tira and Voldo. I would play Talim more, but she moves too fast and I have trouble keeping her from falling off arenas.
Well, that and he kind of reminds me of either a villain from the "Silverhawks" cartoon from Omadon from "Flight of Dragons." Omadon would wore robes and a weird hood like that. ^.^;

LadyMadCat In reply to HotaruThodt [2011-01-05 14:34:00 +0000 UTC]
That's a suitable name for a bouncy kitty-girl
Voldo's moveset never ceases to amaze me! I could get more efficient with him because I surely don't mind his looks (that ass! ) My problem is that I find 1-2 characters I really like and I overuse them while I neglect the others. My sister is the same way! She's whoring Kilik and Yun-Seong while I'm playing almost exclusively as Zasalamel and Algol (my newest obsession, he's awesome
) - we still need a lot of gold to unlock clothes (especially for the females) and weapons.
I know what you mean about Talim. She has at least one combo which ends in a huge jump, and there are some backflip-like kicks as well. I'll use her style for Tanya once I create her

HotaruThodt In reply to LadyMadCat [2011-01-05 15:50:48 +0000 UTC]
Heehee. My Ex actually named her back in 2001, but I recently revived her, changed the spelling of her name a bit and came with a persona and back story for her when I made her in SCIII. There's a pic of her on my pic "Ryanna and Friends" which is just face shots of all my SCIII characters.
Man, my old RP partner was like "Why do you like Voldo he hisses and humps the floor!" DUde, that's some of Voldo's best qualities, and if course he also has a nice bum.
I find myself playing as Maxi, Voldo, or Tira myself, although I do like Ivy a bit too.
I haven't played Algol myself, but Zasalamel is a total badass and one of the hottest SC males.
I really like Talim's throws myself. I mean she grabs her oppoent by the legs, drags them to herself, then it appears that she stabs them in the head.
I like having Tira do one of her thorws, then I like to have her jump int eh air and run over her opponent with her wheel thing. I do the same move with Ryanna.

A lot of people love to diss Voldo and those who like him. Voldo is also great to use as a punching bag because he doesn't scream loud I use him and Lizardman for this reason only.
OMG, Ivy is so hard to use Switching between those stances is nerve-wrecking! But I haven't given up on her yet.
Zasa & Algol are the two hottest SC males to me, and Raphael is the third And all the SC men are pleasant looking, it's a blessing that SC doesn't have Drahmin-like uglies

Aww, thanks. If I can manage a full body pic of her I wanna go all out with big glowy vector brushes and rainbows in the background.
Heehee. I just use Xianghua as my punching bad. Either her on Sophitia, alth9ugh I actually LIKE Sophitia now as opposed to her original appearance in Soul Blade. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, I REALLY love playing Yoshimitsu.
I hear Ivy's moveset changed drastically from game to game actually. Although I still thinking ti funny that we get a nice shot of her bum pre-fight (when you're fighting her) when she says "Well aren't we cheeky. This'll be fun!"
I really like Voldo, Raphael, and Zasalamel when it comes to attractiveness (yes I'm a weirdo).
Ugh Drahmin. I seriously have to wonder what Midway was smoking when they made that thing. An undead Oni wearing a seemingly South American-inspired helmet in his underwear? WTF, MK?!?!

LadyMadCat In reply to HotaruThodt [2011-01-07 19:15:59 +0000 UTC]
Sophitia is OK, not over the top awesome but pretty cool. There's this aura of purity about her that makes her likeable IMO.
I haven't played any of the SC games before SC III but maybe I'll download SC II for the PS2 (I doubt such an old game is sold here) and see if it works. I heard Ivy plays drastically different there, maybe she's easier to use?
Ivy and Voldo have the best butts in SC, hands down Shura may go to hell with that dental floss thong of hers, she doesn't even come close. Speaking of her, I finally found my most disliked SC female
LMFAO! I never noticed that, for some reason I never looked at Drahmin's crotch area, I wonder why.... The only thing I like about him is his story. Playing as him was as enjoyable as cleaning cat vomit off the floor
I only did it so I could see his ending. Disgusting appearance, no combos whatsoever excluding some weird juggles, and all this accompanied by the annoying swarm of flies? No, thanks!

HotaruThodt In reply to LadyMadCat [2011-01-08 00:29:31 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, although in SOul Blade she just annoyed me. I mean she would say "I'm sorry!" post fight and her voice really grated on my nerves.
Not to mention Shura doesn't have her own moveset. I kind of like her outfit, but...yeah. She needs to cover up a liiiiittle bit more. ^.^;
I still hate Xianghua with a passion though. I tried giving my Alexi (Jazz's character) custom her moveset, but some of the poses made me laugh so hard that I had to turn Alexi back into a Sword Master (I mainly use him with Chinese Blade).
Or as enjoyable as runny cat poo? The flies never really bothered me since I thought that was the only semi-redeeming quality about him (I mean not many fighting game character have flies swarming around them). Maybe if they have given him some clothes and refined his moveset a bit (with combos) he might be worth playing. ^.^;

I like it when she lays down and pretends to fall asleep I miss the custom character styles from SC III, they were cool because they were fitting for characters of any gender. In SC IV most of the girls' styles look ridiculous for male characters.
Most definitely! Even if he still possessed a rotting body, some tattered clothes would've been much better!

I can argue with you there. Or her "May the God watch over you" line. Althugh I did find some of Tira's dialogue when fighting Sophita wrong yet funny.
"With a mother like her, I feel terrible for those children!"
That taunt was funny, but yeah. I don't like Xiaghua (or as I call her "Sham-Wow"). And how can her breast still move under that top? Seriously, it looks like it wouldn't allow for that much movement. >.<;
I figure if I made Alexi in SCIV, he'd have Rapheal's moveset. I wish they wuld bring back custom styles for SCIV though.
Some tattered clothing would have been nice actually. It looks like he and Meat shop at the same store.
