Ah, forgot about Planet Renders. Like I said I was out of it for a while, kinda like 4-5 years almost since I got new resources besides random renders. There was once a stage when I was making a sig weekly but those days are long gone and it's amazing how not touching Photoshop for so long really changes your style. I still use CS2. xD

I'll keep the request in mind, and thanks. I do like making my own stuff but with life and the old laptop that I use these days, I rarely boot up Photoshop anymore. :P
:)

@NuttsnBolts

Yeah, being out of it for a while can definitely be stressful to the efficiency of one's style. There was a time where my stuff was noobish after a year of not doing anything. XD Sometimes it takes a few attempts to get one back into the swing of things.

As for not having an up-to-date program, I'm with you there, but look at the stuff I'm dishing out. I use CS3(prefer CS2 layout tbh). All ya gotta do is keep at it until you find yourself back at a spot that you're able to dish out quality works.

And cool. My shop is always open. :)

Let's B!tch. I feel it's a healthy release for our roleplay annoyances 2.0

Something I'd like to mention and I know many others will feel very differently about it, but I've come to really dislike Collab posts.

To understand my view I have to explain that this comes from a personal experience. So what happened was that I entered an RP that contained several people from a different timezone and since I have a daytime job that doesn't allow me PC access, I have to wait until I get home before I can post any replies. Anyways, many of the players were interested in collaborating together, which I though was fun at first, writing a joint post and coming up with interesting situations and writing eventful scenes between all their characters. It all sounds fine until you start to notice that your character seems to be the outsider to these situations, the side dish in a 5 course meal. All because you live in a different time zone and are unable to participate.

It feels frustrating when you do come online that evening and see a bucket load of posts with each player giving their perspective, writing longer than the expected replies due to helping each other out and you have to then read all that text and "Try" to slot your character into the fray so that they feel both important and a part of the situation at hand, all while avoiding errors and the accidental chance of holding the others up with a critical situation. What I did find that most of the time I was playing catch-up, writing from my previous post until the current event because all these characters had deep conversations, talked tactics, interacted with each other, all while my character happened to stand there next to them like a mute statue waiting for the hours of time in limbo to pass.

I know collabs have a time and place, but in this situation it really killed the enjoyment for me. I never felt like I was a part of the story all because I was that one outsider who was playing follow the leader.

@NuttsnBolts

Yeah, that's the negative/bad side of collaboration posts. As you said, they can definitely be fun for character relationship-building, but only if the people in said collab post are online at the same time. If not, you're right in saying that you would be considered the side dish of a lengthy course meal.

I, myself, have not experienced that part of collaboration posts, but obviously you have - and I'm sorry you had to. Collab posts are meant to be fun, not stressful.

@Altered TundraHey mate, Just checked out your GFX thread. Love your work. :)

If I can ask as well since I've been out of the scene a bit, but where would be the best place to find some decent Light C4D Renders? Like the ones used in this.

@NuttsnBolts

First off, thanks! If you like it enough, feel free to drop me a request if you're in the mood for a set, tag, or avatar. :)

As for your question, you can really find them all over. Planet Renders and DeviantArt are two of the most popular places I know of. I think the latter might be better cause you could often find them in packs. There's also google too, which would most likely bring you to the two sites that I mentioned haha.

CLOSED.

I should state that I making two characters.

One is the Queen Bee of Beverly Hills High, female, of course and she will be a trust fund baby. The other character will be the son of a movie director and a recent transfer to the school. ^^

Just to give you guys an idea of how this works.

@HushedWhispers

The Queen Bee is a character archetype you really like using, huh? I've seen it in all the rps of your I've expressed interest in(Hollywood University, Olympus Academy, and now this one haha). I mean, it's not a bad one to go with. If it's familiar to you, then it's the best route. That's probably why I either go for the socially-awkward/antisocial or the asshole-esque(usually bullies or some kind of over-confident types) of characters.

See you think he's handsome and nice, but it turns out he a manipulative mind-controlling prick.

(That probably came out of no where but @Altered Tundra will know what I'm talking about)

@AbysmalDemon

Yes I do and yes he is. But man, David Tennant played that role so well, especially in the later episodes where the writing started to deteriorate. God, like I don't know why I never delved into David's acting beforehand. He's a wonderful actor. I might actually go watch the Doctor Who series he was in. I'm not one for DW, but I would watch it just for him alone.

@Carantathraiel lmao, I guess it does seem like he's saying that. xD

@Carantathraiel

Yeah, that's true as well, because that which yields is indeed not always wack. XD

I liked the way the video was made, but the song itself wasn't anything that special imho.

@Carantathraiel Not gonna lie, I thought that the quote in your Sig Space said "That which yields is not always wack." XD
