Meine Beitrag zu Socky's Contest bei den , in dem es diesmal darum geht, den eigenen Lieblingsspielcharakter in seine (möglicherweise?) bessere Hälfte umzuwandeln.


Wer von euch mal "Hordes of the Underdark" gespielt hat, erinnert sich vielleicht noch an Halasters Unterberg und den Spiegelsaal, in dem man, wenn man unvorsichtig genug war, gegen sein eigenes Spiegelbild kämpfen musste. Hier scheint einer der Spiegel einen magischen Kurzschluss zu haben, was meinem Waldläufer Schattenfell eine Begegnung mit seinem ganz besonderen Alter Ego beschert.


This is my entry into Socky's genderswapping contest, which currently is held by the #DA-Gamers . The challenge is to show one of your favorite video game characters turned into the opposite sex. Here you have my ranger-rogue Shadowfur stumbling into his female self.

The folks amongst you, who had played "Hordes of the Underdark", certainly remember Halaster's Undermountain and the Hall of Mirrors, where you - provided you were incautious enough - had to fight your mirror-self.
Well, it seems, one of the mirrors got some kind of magic shunt fault ...

"HotU" is an Add On to the game Neverwinter Nights, which is owned by BioWare/Atari/Wizards of the Coast/Obsidian (did I forget someone?)

Fancy some more Mirror-Fighting? Take a look here:



More Shadowfur? OK - here we go:

Danke!
Manchmal könnte ich so eine Spiel auch im echten Leben gebrauchen: sich selbst einfach mal schnell clonen. Aber wenn's dann schiefgeht, so wie hier ...

Oder der Tag sollte 76 Stunden haben, dann hätten wir auch noch Chancen alles unterzubringen

Funktioniert nicht. Ich würde auch hier zwei Drittel des Tages verschlafen. Ich war in einem meiner vorherigen Leben ganz bestimmt ein Murmeltier!

Did you created this from scratch? Or is it a screenshot?

shoughad In reply to EckoSlime [2012-11-21 08:26:20 +0000 UTC]

I'm going to take this question as a big compliment, OK?
No, it's not a screenshot (a screenshot from the game would be looking like this: [link] )
It's a 3D render - meaning you work with wireframe models, which you shape and place into a scene and give certain textures and lighting characteristics before you push the "render"-button and sit infront of your computer, waiting for the result. Something like that: [link]

Wow, well, look at that...!
I was gonna go all nerd ape shit and say that screenshots weren't allowed on the contest but now I'm jealous of your skills! I was starting to get confident about winning this one which my shitty Jill drawing ([link] ) but you're definitely gonna nail the fuck out of that contest because to be honest, this looks WAY better than the screenshot that you showed me xD

Ahhh - you shouldn't worry too much about the contest. As far as I know, most of the fellas here can look "behind" the surface. They see and value the effort and love one puts into his work. And they will have a look at an artist's unique style. And last but not least - it's always a matter of taste, too.

I always bow my head, when I meet people like you, who have a direct connection between head, heart and pen. Who can just paint what's in their mind and don't need of a stupid computer to do so.
So, cheer up, OK?

EckoSlime In reply to shoughad [2012-11-21 11:17:09 +0000 UTC]

Well, to be honest, I do believe that using a computer to create art as as hard, if not harder, than making art with a pen a paper lol
From my point of view, I'm not an artist XD I just copy what I like and used to like when I was younger... It's more like a hobby lol
But thanks for the nice words ^^

Haha, I had to butt in this conversation and remind you that there will be two winners in each category, so you could both win.

Haha yeah I know that, but still, my luck with contests and stuff like that were always WAY TOO low xD And after seeing this amazing work in long time for the contest to end actually kills my hopes xD

Aw man, that was my favorite section of Undermountain - if a little weird that you had to fight a doppelganger of yourself Even wrote a spin-off for my fanfic to involve this area This is totally cool, and a real neat twist

I don't have the faintest idea what game this is but I do like the woman's face in the mirror.

shoughad In reply to olivegbg [2012-11-19 18:56:52 +0000 UTC]

It's Neverwinter Nights, the first computer game I ever finished - and the only game that I'm still playing again and again from time to time. The graphics are not so "polished" as in Dragon Age - and I remember that I had to install a special blood patch to get a better "look and feel". But the characters became so ... vivid to me. I really wish, I could adopt some of them ...

olivegbg In reply to shoughad [2012-11-19 19:14:25 +0000 UTC]

Oh I'we tried twice, but frankly, I find the graphics so lame I simply could not go on. I guess I might have missed something but...

Judging from their looks, I'd say they don't particularly think about fighting at the moment

shoughad In reply to TheWildGrape [2012-11-19 14:19:54 +0000 UTC]

It really took me some time to figure out, how I wanted them to look at each other. Finally he got some kind of amused frown while she was supposed to look slightly annoyed. But in the end lighting and refelction seem to come up with other expressions everytime I look at them.

So - what's going to happen next? I have no idea. Really!

TheWildGrape In reply to shoughad [2012-11-19 23:16:32 +0000 UTC]

Well, if it was Torias, I bet he'd be comtemplining the most fascinating question about what it might be like to have a go at one's own doppleganger But with Teloki I'm not so sure, I don't know him that well

I really like this - and the mirror fight was one of my faves too (I found it weird, however, that my mage's clone was EXTREMELY weak)!

shoughad In reply to Fomalhaut48 [2012-11-19 12:54:17 +0000 UTC]

Thanks a lot for the .
The fight wasn't too hard for me either, but still challenging. A weapon master's Ki-strike hurts badly, really ...
Maybe your mage got some lucky dice rolls?

Thyme-Sprite [2012-11-19 10:03:02 +0000 UTC]

I simply love the composition and the whole idea. You could have just modeled Teloki as a girl, but no, =shoughad takes it even further, invents a story to the whole thing and allows the two of them to meet. I love it!
Especially the way the bows cross is astonishing for me.

shoughad In reply to Thyme-Sprite [2012-11-19 10:13:48 +0000 UTC]

I should make another shot of "her" nose. It really has been fun to shape it to be Teloki-like.
