The hand of god is a dick.
You are correct.
They give you food and water. They don't physically abuse you. They simply leave you locked up most of the time and threaten you if you don't comply with their wishes. He says, "Your problem, not mine kid. I just got done with my term of service. I lived out my youth as a girl dammit! I got hit on, by GUYS! You were always a girl right?" He doesn't wait for an answer and starts running off, oddly fast for such an old guy. You're still toiling.
You what told I can I? if that be your greatest enemy
You are kidnapped to act as an interpreter for a strange magic based terrorist cell. You are now wokring, drudging and generally toiling miserably. You tried to become god. You failed and were cast into the pits of hell. Your power is called Exert Dominance. People within 10 km of you feel slightly deferent towards you whether they know it or not. People within 5 km of you feel like bowing down to you whether they know it or not. People within 1 km of you feel like dying for you whether they know it or not. People within sight of you feel all three and cannot disobey you without preternatural force of will. If you deeply concentrate and focus your powers even weapons will not want to injure you, blades will dull, missiles will miss, and so on. You are in Anytown, USA. Deal with it. On your way through the void, you find your way blocked by a wall stretching farther than you can see. Once you are out of sight of the street he says, "You are a magical girl, a Vehrmaecht, it is your job to change the world. You see that collar around your neck? That collar will tighten at the end of each day that the path of this world remains unchanged. If you fail to produce any change within thirty days it will become too tight for you to breathe easily and from there it can only be days until your demise. If you try to remove the collar it will instantly sever your head from your body. Do you understand?"
It's hard for me to select an alternate pose with this because I'm pretty married to the idea of keeping his back against the wall with the damaged limbs. I'm not sure what I'd do with alternate angles either, it's really hard to objectively pick these things apart when I basically just start drawing and then let it go from there. I'll probably just redraw it a few times until I'm happier with it. You're right about the crystals. I tried making the larger ones look farther forward, but it didn't work out.
I run 50 posts to the page. So should you. Make this painful for everyone. And then you.
I'd protest, but I don't see you accepting any counterargument.
I'm pretty sure that you don't mean for people to hug themselves so much as you mean for them to prepare themselves. Would I be correct?
At first the lettering looks weird and indecipherable, but you soon are able to piece it together. "First Comission Vehrmaecht 0074 2210 Ley 014 May you begin being the hope of this world."
The alien stares at you before dropping a note on the floor below your window. He replies, "That was a test, and you failed. Regardless, there is much to do. Much to do." He then grabs you by the arm and starts walking into a random alley.
You have a pretty uniform too. You see some muggers mugging some guy. The muggers are meth heads. An incredibly old man walks up to you and asks you what he's thinking.
I might edit them a bit, but the overall structure will probably remain the same. I understand what you mean with your first point, however, I only added the layers above the characters because I was toying with depth in these. I actually think the smoke turned out looking better with foreground in addition to background but the light rays could be toned down or altered to be less intrusive. I was kind of worried about how discernable the pose was because the crystaline body isn't very easy to look at and understand. I considered trying a heavier outline or differing shadows but in the end I couldn't make it work. As far as his size goes, this is zoomed out because here, the crystals around him are actually more important to understanding the scene I'm trying to convey, which I'll admit makes no sense out of context, and I couldn't make him larger without cutting them out since they are in front of him and all. As far as dynamism goes, I feel that I must have really missed the mark with this, because nothing in this scene is supposed to be moving at all. At most there would be an inward zoom in the camera, which I suppose I could use, but as things are it's just a snapshot instead of a full video.
You realize that you can move pre-existing ice, but you cannot make things colder or prevent ice from melting. Your busines is once again, a pipe dream. Your power is a passive. Clothes within 10 meters of you spontaneously become invisible and clothes more than 10 meters from you become visible. Scandalous rumors about this new magical girl are already circulating. You can now percieve the x-ray spectrum of light, this power cannot be toggled on or off. On the upside you can see through people except for their bones, on the downside everyone looks really weird. A strange, yet adorable, alien is watching you from your window. Your first power was instantly taken away by the CDC anti-magical girl unit to prevent the collapse of the hazelnut spread market and to avoid copyright violation. Your second power is taken away by Bethesda Game Studios for similar reasons.
You realise quickly that your telekinesis is incredibly precise, but cannot do any task that requires more force than pushing down a key on your keyboard.
You're dragon is of insufficient size to bind the creature wiht just its tail. It does, however, start trying fighting the creature and takes a large bite out of its left arm.
Your sphinxes fly off somewhere to go ask people riddles. The sniper rifle feels a lot heavier than you thought it would and you realize it has no ammunition in it. The monster takes the opportunity to eat more of your parade.
A giant, ugly monster appears and in doing so devours half of your parade. It's looking to finish what it started. Your response?
You are a magical girl. What powers have you acquired and what is the first thing you do with them?
in gimp as usual. From the same set as my last two threads. http://i.imgur.com/GmeFo.jpg http://i.imgur.com/C0iz5.jpg CnC greatly appreciated.
