Thanks for unlocking the thread  ;)

I promise I'll get to work on New Canon Cloud as soon as I can. (I have a website to build and some portfolio art pieces to make first)

And I'll let yall in on the work in progress goodness

That was my bad,  with all the new threads popping up I sometimes only glance at a thread to see if it needs to be moved or deleted (or locked in this case).  It seemed this was the thread for the upcoming release, so I locked it once I saw your new thread pop up.

In any case thank you buddy!  ;)



On another note... I just uploaded a desktop background render of the Buster Sword I made for New Canon Cloud on my website domain (The site isn't up yet...)

Desktop Background 2560X1440



Not a bad render for a model that uses a 512x512 texture map! (Although I did slightly tool the edges here and there for this picture, nothing too dramatic)

Here's what I call research...  ;D  When you need someone to pose for ya...  and no one's around... what do you do? Take pictures of yourself!



Yes that's me. Thankfully I'm built similarly to Cloud (Except he has long legs and I have short legs...) But you get the idea. I'm drawing some Cloud concept art to see what my ideas look like. I'll have those up soon.

Forget the new canon cloud, I want a model of Apz to play as Apz.
Maybe with some leveled up fashion sense.

I think he needs to be shorter and way more buff to be THE WOLVERINE

HAHAHAHAHA!  ;D

You guys make me laugh  :P

I'll spare you guys any more pictures of myself because it's awfully vain, and I do that enough as it is to my friends and family on facebook already  :roll:

But yes it'd be hilarious to do an APZ battle model (Don't think I haven't thought of it... I AM awfully vain after all!  :evil: )

I'll stick to the point, and that's making a realistic and fully realized Cloud. Basically This:



Basically what I want to do is to recreate this exact Cloud. And I've searched on the net and haven't found ANYONE who's exactly nailed it... So... That'll be me who does  :D Of course.

My other (less important) goal is to take that Cloud as a base and see what the original details would look like. With the original bangle design and no belts, and original metal gauntlet thingy on his left arm. (It's quite different if you really look) The closest I've seen to that is the Cloud in Dissidia's fully rendered cutscenes. But THAT's a different style all together!

and THEN! I wanna see how that looks... "Cosmos Cloud" and "Chaos Cloud" (the two different styles in Dissidia Duodecim) standing next to the "New Canonical Cloud", standing next to the "Classic Cloud"... standing next to "Kingdom Hearts Cloud"

And I'll most likely never do all of this... But I CAN draw it!  ;) THAT'S 5 DIFFERENT OFFICIAL CLOUDS!!!

We got to see a whole frontal realistic render of Tifa, and an entire classic looking modernly proportioned Tifa in Dissidia. I've yet to see a realistic modern render of classic Barret... So that'll be interesting. There's a modern render of classic Yuffie. We've all seen RedXIII, Cid isn't hard to imagine, Vincent had a whole game to himself (Albeit a new style... But it's still close enough it isn't hard to imagine)

I'd love to do all the characters! Perhaps someday I'll have the speed and efficiency and TIME that I'll be able to... But why bother??? There's still so much I wanna do of MY OWN ART!!!!  ;) And my animations that I wanna get done. So there's only so much one man can do when he obsesses over something (You guys don't even KNOW about my obsession with classic Doom!) But that's a story for another time...  :-)

While we're at it... Has anyone found the PS3 FFVII tech demo in ANY HD...? Anything higher than less than standard def (But obviously saved in higher formats despite being a crappy lo rez video to begin with...)

If Anyone can find that it'll help me out a bit...

edit: Scratch that... I found one that's Standard Def interlaced... Best I'll probably find... But good enough to glint the details in it

Everyone's been remodeled with their classic looks. Even if it was only for a few seconds...

Ah of course... How could I forget!?

I'll have a drawing up soon of a buncha Clouds standing next to each other. I took inspiration from this set of Batman's:



Why!? Because no one's ever lined em all up next to each other before... That and I'm a madman and I'm exhausting my fan-ness so that it won't effect my personal stuff (It's like a release... So it doesn't overtly influence anything else I do that's creatively mine)

I think it'd be interesting to see them next to eachother in the same context.

 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

As a matter of fact I'm a loader at Home Depot (hence the muscles... 80lb bags of concrete all day make you feel the burn hardcore) And I also clean the front of the store at store close... Which means I'm a master of all brooms. Seriously! Not many people can get as much done as I can with a broom. I got mad skillz yo  ;)

I'll have my web-site up soon, and I'll finish the Multi-Cloud drawing as soon as I can finish getting the site running  :P Also I've made some observations about the new modern Buster Sword that means I have to edit the model I made, since that's a quick fix (for a whole new model...) I'll have the pictures of that soon, and a post describing my observations as to why I changed it

Seriously! All i can do so far i modify the existing models and that too failing miserably many times at those. i'm trying to get my field cloud to have all the swords of the disassembled First Tsurugi/ultima weapon....but it ends up looking terrible and textures get messed up

Whoa, you should be unlockable in DustForce!

I remember that scene. ... It's really cool but Barret's gun arm seemed oddly short to me.

That looks like a modified Crisis Core model
