I like your Crystalgirl redesign - particularly the headband and the belt. Nice work as always!

I know I already said this on AIM, buuuut...

OHMYGOD ILOVEYOU YOU'RETHEGREATEST BEARMYCHILDREN -HI-SPEED GLOMP OF DOOM- [/caps lock abuse]

In all seriousness... <3 your CrystalGirl design. Seriously. She's all awesome and braided-ponytail and and sexy and yee!

Yes, I said she's sexy. No, that's not narcissism. I am not Starman*, dangitt.

Now that I'm done fangirling over my request...

The Awsomelanche pic is very, VERY nice. =) Good job man! He looks menacing.

The chibi Cossacks.... oh god I giggled way too hard at that.

Keep up the good work, man.

Well, well, well, looks like I still have some art to post, even after a long day of fulfilling requests! Some random Chibi stuff returns!

Posted Image

Well, not so random. For those who didn't know, I love playing Halo, and this week sees the release of the third Halo Game! Woo! Rockingness! Of course, I don't OWN a 360, so I'll have to shanghai a friend's place to play the damn thing, but hey, no problems for me, right?

This is just Rai, trying to 'get his snipe on' (one of my halo buddies says that a LOT) while Needlegal, bored by the time consuming process, wants to go in with a pair of SMGs. Shadowman with his trusty covenant sword (?), warns against it, much to his sister's chagrin.

Posted Image

And here, we see Hardman, bravely volunteering Topman to take point. Why? Isn't Hardman kind of, y'know, invulnerable to little things like bullets and plasma? That may be, but there's a deeper secret here. Is Hardman... embarassed by the weapon he got stuck with? We may never know...

Until the next Chibi pic. I intend to keep each Maniac paired with the weapons shown so far... As well as any random guests that show up over the week that I'll be doing these.

Posted Image

And this... Well, to be honest, I have no idea who this is. No clue at all. Does she look familiar to anyone? Anyone at all? If so, PLEASE PM me with a name or a series she's associated with or SOMETHING. ANYTHING, really.

This is Hardman, giving back to the community in the way only I can make you hate!

Needlegal's pouting face is priceless.

And speaking of Needlegal: Gag, if anyone can get her to post some art or even register here and actually show up to post even half as regularly as you have so far...it's you. I've been thinking it strange that you would be hanging out here on a regular basis before she even showed up. Didn't she say she just got a new computer recently? No more excuses!

That last one looks like an upside down unieverse Supaaku-chan. Love the Crystalgirl redesign, the Avalanche Yeti pic and the chibis are funny as usual. Keep it up!

Crud... it looks like Crystalgirl's new design will make it easier to use her Crystal Flash on us guys...

Still, I must resist with all my might!

Halo 3 Maniacs, now that's funnier. Needle needs Brute Spikers though, not dual Magnums. And Hardman verses Hunters.

Why is Needlegal not equiped with the Needler?
Even if it DOES suck, it would make sense.
Either way, The hard/top picture made my day.

Woot! Nice picture of Yeti. Thanks. ^_^ Oh, and none taken; it is pretty funny/obscure that he's a giant snomwan. The CrystalGirl design is really cool, and the chibis are, as always, good fun. Keep up the good work.

Dear lord, that Crystal Girl pic is just amazing, but then, that's been said to that effect how many times now? It doesn't help that Crystal Man ranks as one of my favorite RMs of all time (Ring Man has the top spot for some unknown reason), but that pic almost makes me want to break a few rules that I had set on myself and set up a shrine or something to Crystal Girl. Now, while I might not be sane or smart enough not to say that, I am sane and smart enough not to DO it.

Really, I am. Stop looking at me that way... honest!

Anyway, the Halo pictures you did amuse me. If it weren't for the fact that the 360 still has an abnormally high death rate, I'd be getting one and Halo 3 myself. Eh, not that I'd play Multiplayer much.

Keep up the good work Hardy, both art wise and writing wise.

And our last picture this time around is a request from the little gremlin we all know as Zapper, who requested this as a way to cheer up our resident Skullman, Zymeth. Well, she wanted a scene of absolute horror to go along with a horrified Toadgal and Brightbabe, and the innocent expression and saying are a mere bonus!

Thanks for making this for me Hard ^_^. I really like it. I love the look on Toadgal's face ^_^. You do really good stuff! Keep up the good work ^_^

Well, I'm not feeling too good tonight. I believe I've caught the flu. But! That didn't stop me from giving Iga request a very good try. He asked for the updated Woodman, who apparently tops out a 10 feet tall anymore, and top heavy as all hell. He also asked for a... I'm quoting here... "Leaf Mullet" hairstyle, which I honestly couldn't bring myself to draw. I did give him a grassy, windswept look, however, with a slight stubbly beard that's more grass than hair, making it a bit more difficult to cut. He retains most of his normal look aside, however, and is cracking open a can of cola, glaring at someone with no amusement in his features.

Probably the EPA. Or Smokey the Bear.

Sliding this in here instead of making a new thread. Got up in the middle of the night feeling like I was gonna throw up and lo and behold, a new request! This one from Magnus Riujin for Earthrock Tribolyte, or a close facsimile thereof. I went for a combination between the original maverick and the somewhat generic looking concept sketch he had, and I came up with something still Tribolyte-y without looking overly ridiculous.

This is not hand drawn, if you didn't notice, but in my slightly nauseated state, I figured that I couldn't come up with much in the way of Chibi tonight. So I give you this instead: The last complete Sprite Sheet I used in creating the Maniacs Moments.

See some of your favorites?

Here's hoping I'll be a bit more up to speed tomorrow.

Still not feeling 100% today, but I sketched out something that caught my attention over the last few posts.

Hardman vs. a Hunter? Child's play.

I'm still taking requests, people, and I'm still alive despite rumors to the contrary.

HOLY SMOKES. In all honesty, the pose is really neat and so is most of his armor, but the head and shoulders really kill it for me. He looks kind alike a super nerd to me. >_>

Aww, you listened!

But Hunters usually come in pairs. So unless you took care of him beforehand, the picture makes less sense than it should.

See Flashman? Sometimes, when you ask a silly question, you get a very, very violent answer.

I gotta admit, I wasn't much a fan of how that picture turned out either. Here's a second crack at it.

Vertigo's a lotta fun. That, and my blood sugar is in the toilet. I'm still here tho.

Woot. I like that one better, but now his eyebrow-ish things look like goggles. XD

Though, on a never version of my V2 Trilotbyte, i turned the resperator thing from his head into a belt and stuck it around his waist. I also drew it in a back-to-the-camera-esque stance, and the part of his armor on his back makes it look like he can curl up like Sonic the hedgehog.

Well, since it IS the day for Stage 2 to begin, I've been pretty busy running around, putting out old fires and starting new ones. But I did have a chance to fill in the only request I've gotten all day.

Posted Image

Gigavolt Man-o-War, pretty true to form except for the (slightly botched) Decepticon logo on his chest that was put there by request.

XD Maybe you should go back and read my request! Or actually you did a good job to ignore it haha!

OMG! 6 pages! Goodjob hun! Everyone loves your stuff.... I know I get a kick out of it. I still love your signature. I'm prone to cute stuff I suppose.

This next request came from Regulus, who wanted to see Blizzardman cossack dancing like he does in his own signature. Well, funny story about that, cossack dancing is HARD TO DRAW. I mean, I knew that going it, but DAMN. Anyway, I finally got something that looked REMOTELY right, and decided to throw two Comerades in there to give it that authentic feel.

Why is Skull smiling? I have no idea.

All in all, I'm not too proud of this one, but it'll take a lot of work to convince me to go through four MORE pages of my sketchbook trying to get the damn thing right. No offense, Reg.

Well, Top provided the first actual LOOK at Cassandra, so I figured I'd better get offa my lazy butt and do her some justice as well. Not too different in execution from Top's version, tray and all, but slightly different in the styling. You'll notice she wears Nikes, which are comfortable on a long shift of running to and from tables.

She has a different look for the war, namely a shirt and tie with dress slacks (not a dress kind of girl, Cass) and her hair's a bit cleaner, but Top gave you a good idea of what she looks like, so I figured I wouldn't screw with it.

I drew something else tonight, but it isn't posted here. It's here.

Looks like I melted there.

To my knowledge, that's the second drawing of me drunk. Third of me consuming alcohol. And Classi suggested she drew another of me getting drunk at some point. I wonder where this all comes from?
