Spriteworks from Vosur (Mark 2)

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

And here I thought you fell off the face of the earth.

[Vosur Aekira]

Pretty close to it from the way it feels sometimes.

[Alessia Starfurr]

I know that feeling glad your still around

[Vosur Aekira]

Making some progress in the group. Four down and one to go.


This one belongs to the "security officer" of the team. While she is a strong physical character, she does often cause collateral damage with her weapons of choice (turret-based chain-fed missile launcher and ion-cannon, both modified for her use). Even if an enemy gets in close range, she has a hybrid plasma/solid-state folding-sword that can become an axe.

[Alessia Starfurr]

Reminds me of my larger oc's who are just simply like that.

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

Nice, mate.

[Vosur Aekira]

The next one (when done) will be for another large-character, but less collateral-damage involved. She's primarily focused on defense and precision attacks compared to the others.

[Vosur Aekira]

Well, bad news: The laptop I had for less-than-a-year went kaput rather gloriously. What this means is that the last one I was working on is incomplete (thankfully mostly saved elsewhere with more than one type of back-up) and I have been delayed a bit because of that.

Good news though: the old laptop (that I've had since near the start of my time in the forums) is up and running again. I might be able to use it for resuming the work since most of it is done in MS Paint.


And a bit of a sneak-peek to show what I did manage to save/recover before everything went down.

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

Great job, mate. Let me know if you need any tech help or software. Wouldn't want you to be without.

[Vosur Aekira]

@Shinzuu: Software's not an issue. It's a hardware fault unfortunately. It's either the motherboard or the CMOS chip, and both are not easy fixes since the CMOS is soldered on and the motherboard is essentially the entirety of the laptop due to multiple soldered connections in various places. I already have plans on how to replace it with a desktop, even have the hardware in mind. Just having to be patient in getting it.

Now, for a bit of an update:


I'm still working on this set, an oversized physical-energy hybrid shield being the last item for this character's set of equipment. If you're wondering what's up with the gatling gun, it has built-in anti-gravity stabilizers for easier one-handed use while the character can use her other arm with the shield (essentially making her a moving fortress). It can also collapse-down and be easier to transport when not in use

[Vosur Aekira]

Another update to the set (one more before finalizing)


The change in color is due to the components of the shield matching the background too much. This color also assists the energy-shots of the rifle to be more noticeable now. Green seemed to cause some light 'blending' issues.

Edit: Grammar fix... seems like I can't type well early in the morning.

[John Red Beard]

I like that shield. It’s a cool design.

[Vosur Aekira]

Thanks, but the one who made the design for it and the gatling gun (without some of the tweaks I put in) was done by a friend of mine, I just made it into a sprite-design. I also did some adjustments to the shield, but you'll get to see them when I get through with the side-view (collapsed and expanded).

[Vosur Aekira]

And the completed shield. This took longer than I'd like, but it was definitely a lesson in shading.
