My original submission was of the metaphoric kind, with lots of meaning and a lot of boring explanations about its meanings and bla bla bla.  this one is directly a representation of myself as a Varitech pilot, from the cult animated series Robotech(or Macross, if you are picky or just a plain fanboy), wich was the perfect amalgam between epic space battles, robots(mechs) and shmups. It was (and still is) one of the gems of my distant childhood.

To be in loooove~♪

I forgot to save the stages of progress, so i'll have to provide the  two references I've used.

Ok, I have video surveillance from your room.

user
Metaru (Level 8 Brigadier General) at 12/23/2007 5:01:10 PM
MS paint isn't?

user
greenraven (Level 9 Executioner) at 12/23/2007 4:49:39 PM
Looking good.

And Koch, that's three undos more than I have access to.

user
Metaru (Level 8 Brigadier General) at 12/23/2007 4:43:15 PM
because I forgot I had the undo feature.

user
Metaru (Level 8 Brigadier General) at 12/23/2007 4:42:25 PM
again, it ain't an edit koch. of any class. go ahead and give proof of your statement.

user
Koch (Level 6 Made) at 12/23/2007 4:41:53 PM
And you forgot to save the stages... now you have them?  Why couldn't you just have Ctrl+Z+Z+Z+Z+Z+Z before?

user
Koch (Level 6 Made) at 12/23/2007 4:33:31 PM
I didn't say you didn't make it Metaru, don't get all defensive, it's probably your best work yet.  I was more talking about whathisface with his extreme photo edit apple and banana and this was more original than those, but still falls in that category.  And I didn't eat my words, either.  It still holds true.

@doom: fourth entry... forgot to put that on the description.

user
Metaru (Level 8 Brigadier General) at 12/23/2007 4:07:43 PM
indeed,  the reference was my guide. that's why im posting it to prevent any kind of problem with someone calling it an edit/rip/recolor/redux.

is hand drawn lollige. i used the same pose and colours because it wanted it with the same pose and colours. as far as I know, that doesn't constituite an edit. copying an image's color(even when I haven't picked the colors directly from the .jpeg image) is fine, as no one can copyrigth a set of colors, unless they are part the desing itself.

Holy shit you're Sylar.

As long as you edit something enough it apparently becomes original.

Hey weasel, you forget the WIP stages and that's coo. But skeedles uses more colors than the challenge called for and you report, comment and lose your top...what a girl

user

not just a guide for the design,

actually you have redrawn the same image with another character inside and flipped it.

Same lightsource, same colors (not that the upper part is red and the face is blue, its really exactly the same color, witch means same saturation, same value)

same direction of face, helmet etc, same reflection...

user
Metaru (Level 8 Brigadier General) at 12/23/2007 2:19:50 PM
that i'm sexy and you'll love the image just because that.

the second reference is me. its looks a little like it because two main reasons: is there just because i've used it as a guide to draw my facial features in that pose, and because i didn't had another picture of myself to put as a reference.

first one was used as a guide for the desing of the Varitech pilots helmet.

witch means?  

user
Metaru (Level 8 Brigadier General) at 12/23/2007 1:36:36 PM
you know, posting my photo was certainly my ace to win.

user
Hapiel (Level 11 Psychopath) at 12/23/2007 1:22:28 PM
it looks alot like the first referrence, very little like the second..

however this still is, an awesome piece of work.. but im not sure if thats only because you made it (its a huge part for sure) or if the referrence plays a huge role too..
