Another contribution by none other than....me!

[New Era Outlaw]

I've just finished another pic.
Have a look:




This is another addition to my little 'Rogue's Gallery', Magenta, the 'Mastermind Mistress'. I know, I know, she's a bit on the cute side for a villian, but I -do- have an explanation for that. Unfortunately, space issues won't allow me to do that, so I'll have to draft up a fanfic detailing her story sometime in the future. As you artists in the audience probably would've figured out by now, the name 'Magenta' was conceived from her colour scheme [or is it the other way around? Hmmm....]
While I won't tell you everything about her now, I will leave you with this thought...imagine a person who could pierce the sacred reaches of your mind...someone who could toy with you at the drop of a hat...someone who possesses every form of mental superpower you could think of..and somebody who could even erase your mind in the blink of an eye if she feels like it. Well, it's a start, but I'm working on all of that.

This is also my first attempt at several things.
I used the Gradient tool to get the faded effect of Magenta's eyes, and a combination of the Zoom blur and Radial blur tools to produce her background as well as the 'Zoom' effect behind Magenta.

Looking at it, though, I am quite pleased with the outcome, although I still think to date that the best pic I have produced thus far is Evil Neo. Then again, he always was my favourite character, hero or villian, even if he wants to tear my character limb-from-limb. But I digress.

I sincerely hope you all like the pic, and can offer me any suggestions on how I may improve myself, as well as your own comments. I appreciate them very much. BTW, special thanks go out to Androsovic for bringing me up to speed and insipring me to toy with the Zoom Blur, and Sabaku for advice on proportions.


One more thing:
As much as I enjoy producing artwork for you guys on GATT and receiving feedback on them as they are exhibited, one thing I do NOT appreciate is accusations of PLAGUARISM. Know that each and every piece I produce is a New Era Outlaw ORIGINAL. Sure, I may look for inspiration from time to time, [as most professionals do], but I conceive these ideas BY MYSELF, ALONE and SOLO. I don't appreciate the fact that I spend till midnight completing these only to have some joker claim that I 'was thinking of this and that when I drew that'. I think of NOTHING but the character I'm drawing when I do these, and NOT of any other done by someone else.

So, to make a long story short:
ALL OF MY PICS ARE DONE BY ME, ME, ME AND NOBODY ELSE!!!!
Have I made myself clear?
If you accuse me and bring something that looks like my pics done by someone else, I'm sorry but THAT is co-incidence. Know that New Era
gives credit where credit is due, you have my word on that.
Also, if you accuse me without ANY form of proof other than word-of-mouth, Lord help me if I don't hunt you down and bite off your kneecaps.

Okay, so I won't go that far, but know that I DO NOT, WILL NOT and CAN NOT tolerate any and ALL claims of plaguarism. Keep those statements to yourself! Please! Thank you.

P.S.: I apologize for this long speech on plaguarism, but I think I need to make it clear that I am DEAD serious that all of my works are ORIGINAL.
Anyway, keep those comments rolling! Peace.

LOL!
Thanks for the complements.
Like I said, this pic is good, but not really my best.
Still though, there is a lot to be said about a Super-Villian that looks that good....[rawr]                    

[Heady]

nice!!!

but sorry i have some criticism:
y always do the dark backgrounds
try and do some light ones i suppose the dark background fits now because she is a villian and everything.

but i think it will look good in white wit those gradients behind it.

her left arm has a little bump on it does look very pleasing
and this isn't really an artistic criticism but she kinda looks like she is coming out of her top…yeah don't change that

Nope, it's correct. It's supposed to be Magenta.
Didn't you read the description of the character?

The easiest way is to scan them on your hard drive, go to this address:

http://anime.gatt.co.tt

...start a new account, then go to 'My Uploads', and start uploading your artwork. You can then use the URL for the pics to post them here on the GATT forums.

I'm intrigued as to what you plan to bring to the artist's table, Frozen...I can't wait to see what you've got.

No problem.
I appreciate the feedback, so don't worry!
Anyway, I agree, I have done a lot of dark backgrounds for my characters [I guess I'm biased towards them] to date. Perhaps when I start on doing some heroes, I'll consider what you said. Thanks.

To tell the truth, I did do a white background with some gradients for her, but when I fooled around a bit with some backgrounds I had in my archives, I chose the background you see behind her instead. The original background for Magenta is still sitting in my hard drive.
If I get some more positive feedback on this, I may consider doing a second Magenta.... :wink:

The bump on her left arm might be a mistake on my part, but if you're happy....[and you know it, clap your hands...]
And don't worry...I won't change a thing.


P.S.: Special Ed rules!  W00t!!

1. There are a LOT of interesting conversations that you could have with a talking horse named Mr. Ed. That's why he is the FAMOUS Mr. Ed. A'ight? Cool.
2. Heck no! My fridge really does run away! Hey, stop laughing now...it's true....
3. Runaway penguins? Dude...not even I would think up something THAT crazy. Besides...they're locked up in my freezer. they can't run away. [did I mention they taste like chicken?]

Well, hope that clears up some things for ya!
On a serious note, though, can we get back to the topic at hand?
Don't want spam to kill out this thread, now do we?

nice work, how long you been doing these things outlaw?
