Exalted Week! (May 12-19)

[TheCountAlucard]

I dunno, the slight build and pointy ears makes me think Fair Folk.

There's no reason it can't be a Fae-Blooded Abyssal.

A bit like a Solar I came up with once who has cat ears and tail because she's from a tribe of beastmen.

[Doran]

Bump!

Also, question. What is the combo that let you kill everyone in Creation with a kick?

Creation Slaying Oblivion Kick

[Thattaman]

TheCountAlucard, you said you'd make me an avatar. Have you started on that? Thanks you in advance!

[TheCountAlucard]

Err, no, I was just taking what you said and phrasing it in Exalted-esque ways. I'm not an avatarist; the best I could do for you, any of you, is to sketch something and then snap a pic with my camera phone, as I don't even have a laptop or scanner anymore.

Here's an example of something I knocked out in an afternoon, a Terrestrial bad guy for an upcoming game.

If you really want something from me, I'll see what I can do, but naturally, let the buyer beware…

[TheCountAlucard]

Went ahead and drew it. I doubt it's much good as an avatar, though.

Charms in use:
Star-Piercing Spear of Glory - conjures a lance of wicked green hellfire.
Crowned With Fury - commands issued are coupled with green flames from the user's mouth, which coalesce into a crown of fire overhead.
Life-Blighting Emptiness Attack - augments an attack with shadowy nastiness.

And because I noticed it, here's one for AmiDrex, too.

[Dusk Eclipse]

I was playing Dark Souls and fought Knight Artorias and with all the Exalteed stuff I have been reading, it just dawned on me that Artorias is definitely an example of an Abyssal (probably Dusk if I understand well the caste) exaltation

He was sent by his liege to fight the spreading of a malevolent force known as the Abyss; but it proved far too strong for him, he sacrificed his left arm and shield to save his companion from the corruption he could not fight back and in the end he was corrupted by it.

So instead of Exalting my normal Avatar, could I get this guy as an avatar? I think the caste mark could be either worked in as a background or something like that

Ooh, fancy. I'm saving this picture.

So, I'd like an Midnight Caste Abyssal with a black/dark green colour scheme... clothed in robes (a kimono, perhaps? Whatever looks good; if how you've drawn him makes you think he'd look better in plate mail or something, do that instead), wielding a black sword, with long, dark-coloured hair. Facial expression, pose, and other details are left to the discretion of the artist; whatever strikes your fancy.

I've found, normally, that the best art is slightly different from my expectations, so... feel free to interpret my suggestions however you wish.

A repost for any avatarists out here.

[Maugan Ra]

I may as well actually see about getting an avatar of my own. It'll be of my character in the same game as Ifni is in, a Fire Aspect by the name of Kharal Zhou.

Physical Appearance: He's pretty tall, and well-built, being both stronger and tougher than average. I picture him as moderately tanned, with fairly short black hair, and he's clean shaven.

Equipment: He wears armour made of red jade (a reinforced breastplate technically, but any sort of red-hued medium armour would work) and carries what is basically a katana of the same material. Of course, it's just as easy to find him unarmoured, in which any kind of oriental officer's uniform would probably look about right.

Supernatural effects: He's a Fire-Aspect Terrestrial, so any kind of flame aura would be pretty cool. When he's using as much of his power as he can, his aura takes the form of a giant burning Phoenix.

Pose/attitude: I present two options here. Firstly, he's a proud and patriotic individual, so any kind of heroic charge or respectful salute would work. Even standing at ease. Or, as a second option, he is presently helplessly in love with Ifni's character, and the two of them are generally being adorable enough to make a man sick. So any sort of dreamt love struck impression would likely also fit.

[Ravens_cry]

Think it needs anything to be more over the top Exalted-esque Fabulous™?

[horngeek]

Nah.

Brutally efficient can be just as impressive as over-the-top.

[Urpriest]

Hmm, I like Exalted..But...What kind of Exalted would my Avatar be? Any ideas?

Dagon? One of the Yozis (Exalted Demon Princes, very roughly speaking), specifically Kimbery, is very heavily based on Dagon, specifically in terms of being the parent of a sea-dwelling blasphemous civilization. Of course, a Kimbery avatar would basically just be green, since she's an acidic sea.

Can I get someone to Malefactor-ize my Urpriest avatar? Basically, add the cast mark, a bit of anima, and either sand or candied locusts falling from his hands depending on whether you feel confident drawing the locusts.

[Anarion]

Are there any avatarists willing to jump into this theme? As far as I can tell, most of the page one requests haven't been taken up, much less any of the recent ones.

[Lord Raziere]

You mean we gone into this without a single other avatarist who knows how to make all this?

great. there is a distinct possibility that I might have to make all of them myself, since I might be the only one who knows how. :small annoyed:

or maybe I'm wrong, I don't know, all I know is that I have to get my avatar I'm doing done before I can get to others, get it out of the way so that I'm not distracted.

[Heliomance]

How's this?

I figured you'd go for Fair Folk, rather than an Exalt. Though, as there's no caste mark visible, it's entirely possible that you did.

[Elemental]

Just letting everyone who cares know, I will try my hand at exalted ponies. Whether I will be successful depends on whether or not I can still Inkscape.

[Mono Vertigo]

Sorry, I've lacked the time to tackle other requests. Might make one avatar or two this afternoon.
I can't believe I'm the only one who's made Exalted avatars and that I've never played the damn game.

[Castaras]

*cracks knuckles*

If someone can give me a list of the people who haven't got their avatar requests fulfilled yet I'll see how many I can get done this weekend in between revision. I don't know exalted at all but I have google to help me.

I believe this is most of them... if I missed you, let me know, and I'll edit you in.

you've missed mine, from aaaaaaaaaaall the way back at the start of the first page

[Castaras]

Done two so far. More will probably come at some point. For changes just let me know, and if you decide that you want to try get something else that's fine also.

For Ifni

Didn't know what sort of hair you wanted, so went with the curls you see. Adjustments can be made to anything. Hope the symbol is the right one, been scouring the exalted wiki for info.



Lea Plath

I don't like drawing bangles any more. Couldn't find info on star metal staffs, probably being blind, so made a metal staff. As with Ifni, let me know if I got anything wrong or you want something changed and I can do that.

Bah, and here I thought I had quoted both of you.

[TheCountAlucard]

Castaras: You're doing great, but so you know for the future, Starmetal in Exalted looks much like mundane iron, but has a bit more of a luster to it, and when the light catches it, it's this sheen that is colored with the auspicious shades of the Five Maidens.

(In other words, iron that has red, yellow, green, blue, and violet shinies.)

Starmetal artifacts also tend to be very… frugal by design, as the rarity of the material in question limits how much they can use in its construction. Starmetal, as its name implies, is found at the site of a fallen star.

[Ravens_cry]

Actually, I was going for Abyssal. I'll have to add some caste mark at some point.

[CapedLuigiYoshi]

Reposting request to make an avatar of a... what did Alucard say... an Air Aspect Terrestrial version of my current avatar. (With or without a blue Yoshi-esque lesser elemental dragon.)

This one was missed.

[Amidus Drexel]

This one was missed.

Another one I could have sworn I had quoted... Sorry about that.

Awesome, thanks for the information.

[Mono Vertigo]

Hey all!

Don't suppose I can get in on this and make a request?

Could I get Lea as a Chosen of Serenity, wearing a blue cowl/cloak and under it, a red tunic and leggings, with a star metal staff and lots of bracelets and bangles?

Thanks!

Tackling this one right now!

[5a Violista]

I made my own! I'm going to use it right now, because it has color (unlike my previous avatar).
