Right Concepting peoples. We need to get The Mayor sorted. I know he'll look the same facewise but he's in different attire as Mayors do.

GAh! I nearly forgot! I had an idea for another LAWYERMAN! Villain.

Spoiler: The Dark
“The Dark”
Real Name: Joe Darke
A.K.A.: The Boogie Man
Relatives: unknown
Height: average
Weight: average
Eyes: Currently Unknown
Hair: Either white or platinum blond
Affiliations: Unknown
Abilities: None....but some wonder just how he survived his execution.
Weapons: Switchblade
Notes: I was inspired by Heath Ledger's performace as the Joker, and felt that some one should be to Crevatteman as the Joker is to Batman, and thought Joe Dark would be perfect. One of his favorite catch phrases. "What's the matter, afraid of The Dark?!"

Why is it always me that has to do the thinking... >.>

US Mayors wear suits, ties and trousers. Very formal look.

Wait wait wait wait wait. When did Jazz become insane? I don't remember signing anything.

Also, why do the sidebars overlap the text? That's going to be a problem.

As soon as you concept something and contribute it to the topic, you give rights for me as head writer to alter it to fit the story. This is a group project; no-one should get precious about other people modifying their ideas.

Author:  Rov [ Thu Oct 09, 2008 10:59 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: The LAWYERMAN! Project

I don't think the problem is with my monitor, but if it's any consolation it's a Samsung >_>

One more thing, the link to Aeon in Lawyerman's sidebar is barely noticable. Can that get fixed as well?

@Gerk: >_> Well, yes, it's a group project, but don't you think you should consider the opinion of whoever invented the character? I mean, a group project means team planning, not just tossing in your ideas where ever you deem them to fit. I, for one, wouldn't stick my ideas into other people's ideas without first considering their input. But maybe that's just me.

And I don't see why he needs to be insane to fit into the story.

This bothers me as well. The links on the sidebars for Heroes and Associates are almost unreadable without highlighting. Can you change the color to white?

Post subject:  Re: The LAWYERMAN! Project

FF: Yeah, I think I can, but I'll need some help from someone. XD

GP: I can understand your concerns. The point is though, no good projects ever get off the ground and stay in the air when everyone has an equal say; people begin to argue with one another and things begin to fall apart.

Nevertheless, you're right in that I really should've brought it up first and sought your opinions. Sorry. :(

As for the Madness, when you're addicted to something it can really mess you up. And he is addicted to coffee. Remember, characters need flaws, and I thought that this madness would add tension and create storylines. If Jazz doesn't get his coffee, then bad things happen.

Post subject:  Re: The LAWYERMAN! Project

Well, to throw in my 2 cents here, I actually feel Gerk made a right choice, from what we've seen in GS3 Godot had great potential to be a rather twisted persona.
His insanity reflects his personal beliefs better when compared to his morals and choices he made in the game.
But hey, I also agree that these kinds of changes should've been discussed with the original author prior to be being edited.

Post subject:  Re: The LAWYERMAN! Project

Edit: cut

Yeah, but like, actual full-fledged insanity? That's a little over the top, don't you think? And since Jazz is a cyborg, his body doesn't need coffee; he only drinks it because he enjoys it, which is why in his personality I wrote "has a strong affinity for coffee", and not "is addicted". At least, that was my idea.

Post subject:  Re: The LAWYERMAN! Project

Man, I'm fast! I'm just about finished inking some art of The Mayor. It'll be up in a bit.

Cut by GP.
Note: The wiki for Jazz says "partially insane". There's a difference between being twisted and giggling like a psychomaniac.

Post subject:  Re: The LAWYERMAN! Project

We could tone it down if you'd like GP.

But I really do think that something should happen when he's deprived of coffee. :3

Hmm, let's meet half way here.
Let Gerk have the future version-> insanity and all.
But let's tone it down for the present one.
Everyone Happy?...>_>

Alright, I'm down with this. That line about fighting his insanity is what struck me.

Author:  Gerkuman [ Thu Oct 09, 2008 11:50 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: The LAWYERMAN! Project

It's the war that did it to him. I might have to change his future history to give him some combat experience to make it fit, but that shouldn't be hard :3

How about that in the main history if he doesn't drink his coffee he shows withdrawal signs? Jitters, becomes manic, gets depressive and a bit obsessive. Things like that. Not madness, just withdrawral. :)

Author:  Rov [ Thu Oct 09, 2008 11:58 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: The LAWYERMAN! Project

Sounds OK to me. One more thing, though, how about instead of the Amazon, he goes to Italy? With Di Vitale? Since he's Italian? And Jazz owes him his life?

Author:  Gerkuman [ Fri Oct 10, 2008 12:01 am ]
Post subject:  Re: The LAWYERMAN! Project

The thing is, he'd be putting all of the people in Italy in danger.

But, I think that he'd find Di and they'd go to the rainforest together. With the world beginning to turn lawless, Jazz could protect him as part of his debt.

Edit: I've removed the madness altogether. He was running on so much caffeine in the future that when he was forced to go cold turkey it really messes him up. He's got to the point where he can't train his body to live without it again. :3

Heeey guys. I've got more concept art for ya'll.

Spoiler: Concept Art
I found some markers deep within my backpack today, so I decided to make an attempt at combining the Color Coded Power + Okami Brush thing for Vera Mente. I have to say, I'm rather pleased with result, though this is more Pre-Concept art than anything else.Image


ALSO, THE MAYOR:

YES. The top hat is win, seriously. :keiko:

It's not... D: (I had a lot of trouble drawing that part though.)

HOLY CRAP VERA :0

Man, you guys are awesome, all of you ^w^

Just a note on the Mayor. He is not as goofy as he appears. He does however play up his goofiness in public by just letting himself go. When he gets down to business however, he's AWESOME at it. XD (It fits with his AA personality)

I was going for a more neutral, blank canvas look myself (leaves room for each "personality" to come through), but it does look a little Cyborg-ish.

If you want to design your own outfit for her, go for it, I won't stop you! I'd love to see what your version of her would look like! :'D

ERM, LOVE. RIGHT.

I'll get to that :'D

Post subject:  Re: The LAWYERMAN! Project

As we said before, the emotions aren't to do with the powers. They just unleash the bottled up emotions she keeps in her heart. When she learns how to release her emotions more, the side effects lessen and she becomes a LOT more effective in battle. I mean, all the side affects are negative because they're that strong.

Joy: Buzzing all over the place, can't concentrate
Love: Falls in love on sight; awkward for most people but EXTREMELY awkward if she sees the villain.
Fear: Well, yeah.
Suprise: Becomes nervous and jumpy.
Anger: Can go out of control, loses some tactics
Sadness: Unwilling to do anything.
Hate: Becomes hateful, which makes her dangerous to heroes and villains alike.

Post subject:  Re: The LAWYERMAN! Project

Hmm, Vere's design, I like it.
Now i want to draw my own, but..yeah, you know.
Anyway, If anyone's interested /open for a request: I was thinking a white fluid dress but ragged. White is universal remember? a blank slate...
With Red twirls on the side, nothing on her head, exept long flowy hair.
Colour pallete/inspiration : http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/vi ... ,0,43_.jpg

Author:  MezzoForte [ Fri Oct 10, 2008 12:36 am ]
Post subject:  Re: The LAWYERMAN! Project

I should've worded my post better. I ment something along the lines of her not having a super-dee cute butterflies-and-raindows outfit when she's utilizing Hate. Other than that, I wasn't tring to connect powers to outift or powers to emotions.

:'D

EDIT: @Ceres: Ragged white dress with red twirls, hm? I'll try it~.

Author:  Gerkuman [ Fri Oct 10, 2008 12:40 am ]
Post subject:  Re: The LAWYERMAN! Project

The blank canvas works for her. Think about it, not only is it canvasy but it mirrors her normal behavior. That is, not willing to show any emotion at all. I like that colour scheme immensley. :3

Reverted it, not sure how it happened.

Author:  fatalfeline [ Fri Oct 10, 2008 1:00 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: The LAWYERMAN! Project

So if Vera's white dress represents a blank canvas, could something represent when she changes powers? Maybe part of her dress changes to the corresponding color of the rainbow?

Almost done with Amaterasu!Vera, will update after dinner. I need mpore concept art to do, Vera's art is taking over my life. :'D

Post subject:  Re: The LAWYERMAN! Project

This inactivity is unbearable! :ka-whip:

Anyway, I tried my hand at Vera Mente, inspired by Ceres' Okami version.

Spoiler: I promised Father I would never paint in the color violet...
Image
I messed her up a lot. D: Her feet were a pain to draw and her proportions are off... Anyway, I found some markers so I tried to color it. (The blue was too dark though) And I added the colors she uses in MS Paint... I tried to put it in a circular pattern, but it's not perfect. XD


Edit: Cut by mezzo, lol

Post subject:  Re: The LAWYERMAN! Project

AND THE NEXT DAY

Yeah, took me longer than I planned because of lost batteries. Anyway, Vera's outfit got my gears turning, and I ended up making different variations on the outfit, each utilizing the same basic color scheme and elements. The first one, however, is probably closest to Ceres' original suggestion.

Also, FF's looks better than mine :'D.

Spoiler: And then, the strange girl gained a goddess' clothes...

WHY DO ALL OF THEM LOOK ASIAN IN ORIGIN!? WHY!?
