Hey guys, I'm resorting some of the threads 'n' stuff in preparation for MEGA HOUSECLEANING! After we finish the siege here, we're gonna reset all the threads, and move the old stuff to the archive. Also, I'm going to do a bunch of graphic work, reorganizing, more expressions for NPCs and the like-- But on to the prizes! This is a chance to get your character a new look, in keeping with our unrealistic rates of hair growth and the like. > -- Would you like a makeover for your character? New hair, clothes etc? > -- Would you like a new expression or two? > -- Any other graphics requests? I had an idea to make a 'torch' icon for instance, that could be put next to anybody. So then... Fabulous prizes! We are going to make something to reward you guys for bein' super cool and stuff, but more about that later...!

Oh PS, you can reply here with any of your ideas or requests.
My to-do list:
* Srs Micah face * Patti 'fro'ed up & 'business' face * Emo-hair Alex & srs face for him as well * New shirt for Ben & flare-stick * Helmet/Leather Ben * Some stock weapons - bat, stick, flare, torch, pipe etc

One suggestion for PCs and NPCs alike would be scars, we could do some funky ones. I just think with all this fighting and whatnot there are bound to be at least some interesting scars occurring in the process. Luke has clearly beaten us all to the punch with that one but still... On the expression front I wouldn't mind a serious face one please.

Ooh good idea, I'll consider adding more scars on peeps as I do their new portraits. So you'd like a 'srs' version like the NPCs have? AKA: Normal Casey Srs Casey Some NPCs lean a little more angry/cranky for their srs versions.

I need to make a file with the various Patti icons and their file locations, so I don't forget about any of them. After I do that, I'll come back atcha with any requests. I'll try to keep them to a minimum. I was considering a fuller afro for Patti, but that would necessitate redoing ALL of her graphics and that's a tall order.

A few things occurred to me during the raid, but I don't remember any of them.
Right now, all I can see that she might need is a SRS face, that's not as mean/mad as her SCOWL face. Maybe sort of a MOM face or a BUSINESS face. If the distinction is clear enough between those.
I see that you use templates for the faces (and, I'm assuming, multiple layers in Photoshop), so maybe the new hair thing isn't as onerous a task as I had thought. Still entirely optional, I don't want to ask for the world here.
If you are amenable to the new hair thing, I'll surf the Internet to find something I really like.
Thanks for all the hard work you guys put into this!

Yes, thanks for all that hard work! I am not worthy. And that flare icon seems like a good idea! Ben thinks that many more people should duct-tape their flares to handy sticks. So practical! Well, except when swinging twohanded weapons. Maybe Ben will create some kind of harness and strap a stick to his back, like one of those flags that samurai wore during wars? Except Ben's stick wouldn't have a flag, it'd have a flare, sending out light in every direction around him! And it'd have to be easy to remove for actual ghost situations. Maybe that doesn't really belong in this thread though, seeing as not a whole lot of such a contraption would show in the character graphics. But Ben holding his trusty flare-on-a-stick is the only graphic I've been missing. Sometimes I've used the sword-graphic instead, though only when his angry face suited the situation. Maybe he could get a flare-on-a-stick icon to have beside him? (I'm assuming that wasn't the kind of torch you were planning for the default torch-icon.)

But every day is a fabulous prize in this forum! I think Alex needs long bangs that fall over his eyes. He can be emo.
Juuuuust kidding.
Or am I?
Actually, a serious face would be useful, now that he's seen the visage of HELL. One like Casey's sad/srs face!
THANK YOU, wonderful pixel miner! I'm so excited to see the new graphics!

Well, after a long discussion on the IRC (mostly about westerns), it has been decided that Alex needs "scene kid/emo" sideswept bangs.

Every time a symbiote posses up with a new person, they need a new conjoined identity and costume change, as has been explained in 500 spinoffs in Marvel comics. So if the venom alien glommed on MJ, it would probly turn half red and have boob-socks, and a name like "Marinator."

Thanks for all the hard work you guys put into this! No prob, Brett! Sure I can 'fro her up, I redid Seth/Bryce by doing a mask with the new hairdo so it's no prob. I'll be renaming all the new files to go in KFA3 (dun dun dun) so I might simplify the names too, if that won't be too hard to get used to. Btw do you mind her 'fro going off the top of the picture, or would you prefer it to just brush the top lightly?
