Copy Paste... engage! Hello and welcome to the fifth ever Mug Description Contest: Mug Shots! Back after a little hiatus... a big thanks again to Yoshi, our original host! In this contest, the host will provide a short description, vague or detailed, describing what kind of mug the competitors will make. Today's descriptive word brought to you by our last winner, Merc: "Filthy" Here is your mug's description: Filthy Bounty Hunter Scum! Has an unusual physical trait or a scar. Has something RED in color. Actual cleanliness or dirtiness up to your discretion. ;) Deadline: Wednesday, June 15, 2016... 2 weeks! Have fun. :D Edit: tweaked description to include a color... and dammit Yoshi you copy pasted from comp three for comp four! Fixed that now. XD

So we had those nifty cut-in portraits from awakening, are we going to get them again for if?

[spoiler=The Art] -General Fire Emblem designs, ideas for Villager designs, Garhen, Bandit dude done for the Splice Contest in a battle sprite-ish form. Big one is tier2? smaller tier1? -Still working on these... mulling over designs for a Barbarian class in GBA battle sprite form. Not sure what combination of elements works the best for the concept. -Fighter concept designs... trying to come up with some different feels/styles. -Really need to rescan this one... its ridiculously blurry due to poor scanning due to trying to place two pages on scanner from a ringed sketch book. If you can make it out... my Lord from my sprite thread Quinn is there, along with some of his potential supporting cast on the top page. His starter units are a tier0/trainee armor unit with swords, a naive young blade knight named Rupert. His other(insanely blurry) companion is a taciturn tactician name Torne. Torne will likely use magic and swords if possible... Notes on his personality are grumpy+cynical...(totally not a Soren analogue at all >.>) -Bottom page has a OC of mine named Dacen, who like my other OC Erwand I am still trying to figure out how they fit into the Fire Emblem universe, design and classwise. Other random little sketches/characters... Think the girl at the bottom was me trying to figure out the design on my Female Lord. Some random archer/sniper... Some older Armor Knight/Paladin/Great Knight gentleman in the top right corner. -As you can see, the simplified designs I make... I then can pretty easily translate into battle sprite form. -Sometimes, I make a sprite/mug that I like and then try to translate into a battle sprite design... this guy I made for my first splice contest here will eventually be made into a bandit/brigand when I get around to it. ---- Anyways, that's some of my stuff... I honestly have a bunch of sketch pads full of way better works from ages ago... think I will try to see if I can those sometime. In the meantime, I hope to update this thread every week with some actual hard effort artwork to try to improve a bit. Thanks for taking the time to check this out. Hope you found it interesting or entertaining at least... ...as I always say in my sprite threads, I seriously love any and all sorts of feedback, whether criticisms, comments, thoughts, cookies or just random streams of consciousness...Thanks! :D

In honour of the defunct gay thread Rip in piece ;_;

What's everyone's music taste been like throughout the years. mine was something like this; ages 5 to 8: I'm pretty sure i was listening to stuff like Five, Eiffel 65, Gorrilaz, Papa Roach, Outkast, Limp Bizkit ages 9 to 10: I was well into Queen and Guns N' Roses. especially Guns N' Roses ages 11 to 12: I started to listen to what my older brothers were listening to at the time. So stuff like Oasis, (mainly Masterplan) Smashing Pumpkins, Pink Floyd, Rage Against the Machine ages 13 to 15: A time where i really started to get into music. Around 13 I was listening to a lot of The Dandy Warhols and The Brian Jonestown Massacre. I then went on to bands like Bruce Springsteen, Jeff Buckley, Metallica, Roxy Music, The Stone Roses, Joy Division, more Oasis, Blur age 16: When music was pretty much my only friend (I was a lonely teen), I spammed all kinds of bands like The Smiths, Radiohead, The Beatles, David Bowie, King Crimson, Talking Heads, Weezer, Ramones, REM, Pixies, The Beatles, more Pink Floyd, The Cure age 17: Neil Young, Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Replacements, The Velvet Underground, Paul Weller, Jimi Hendrix, The Clash, Manic Street Preachers, Misfits age 18: The Doors, Green Day, Cast, The Rolling Stones, Pulp, Biggie, Wu tang Clan, Eazy-E, Public Image age 19: Gary Numan, all kinds of 80s music, more Metallica, The Who age 20: Van Halen......some other shit I've forgotten about. I'm listening to Def Leppard at the moment

I got a spare bonus code from the PS Vita Mega Pack - if anyone is interested in LittleBigPlanet, WipEout 2048 or another game, I'll gift it to you. Managing several accounts is too annoying and I don't really care about them (got the Vita for VNs and DoA, nothing else). Just reply in this thread or pm me if you have a European account and want to use the code (bought in Germany, but it should be usable for all of Europe. At least it's not usable in the Japanese shop).
