More MCA Codex Trolls.... INCOMING!

[Gondolin]

This one looks a bit weird to me

Maybe it would be better if someone made it smile and not have that bland expression?

It's a good emoticon for "It's good for what it is".

@ MCA

 

[LundB]

I'm not finished with this one, as I'm not completely happy with it yet, but here's partial progress on my attempt at the troll. The lack of nice outlines makes it tougher than the last one.

Eyes need to look a bit lower for the effect to work.

Though I don't like messing with MCA's vision, here's a version with the eyes moved down. Better?

Also, now that the nicer outlines are available, I will probably redo it (also with solid shadows, though my laziness likes soft shadows).

 

[DraQ]

I never understood the fan-base that MCA has generated. He's a great writer, but I think it's a little blown out of proportion. I guess that's a side effect of the game industry being so shitty?

PS:T, man.

It's a storyfag game that can win a hardened simulationfag's heart - that has to count.

Meh. It really should be MCA on the throne in this one.

This. Nobody fellates RPGCodex lately.

It's "good for what it was", you philistine!

Stop messing with His revelations!

 

[Kosmonaut]

I am partial to thumbsupman, but the rest are just the same standard response-emotes you'd see anywhere on the internet, usually 4chan. We need to be distinguished, like the distinguished gentlemen we pretend desperately to be.

Maybe it would be better if you just shut the fuck up? :hiver: That's how Avellone did the original work. The troll was only outlined and colored.

It's only a suggestion,noone forced anyone to do anything.If noone likes then they can simply ignore it,no sure why you are so

Touché.

I was trying to sound butthurt and angry like hiver, but it seems that I failed (maybe I'm not retarted enough).

Anyway, I think that another version with a smile would be a nice addition to the Codex emoticons.

 

[DarkUnderlord]

I'm in the camp that thinks it looks better if you turn that frown upside down.

 

[Kosmonaut]

But the one with the blank expression could be used like "It's good for what it is". What about using both?

 

[Azalin]

That would work nicely

 

[DraQ]

Oh, also:

crooked bee's tactical knowledge and mca's narrative mastery will let them create the baby messiah who will bring balance to rpgs

ITZ like this thing Herbert was writing about.

Spoiler

Also Sapkowski.

 

[Infinitron]

The grin needs to be toothier, I think.

Try tilting the troll's eyeballs to the right?

 

[LundB]

Made a version with the new outline (which actually let me colour hands!), tried to do hard shadows. I'm not as used to those as I am to soft shadows, so I don't know how well it turned out. Also moved pupils from the very beginning, so that they're staring at the screen in horror. Not sure if I want to tilt the eyeballs, it looks sort of weird when I do, and further alters MCA's original. If it is the will of the Codex, I will try though.

Suggestions welcome (Especially if there's a better colour for the computer/keyboard... not sure how I feel about them currently).

The new one, the emote, then the first attempt, to show how shit it was by comparison.

 

[Kosmonaut]

How about some white light on the troll's face an shirt? The light emitted from the monitor. It gives it a more nerd edge.

 

[deus101]

That man....that fucking man!

Hey its PERFECT! I keep bitching on how cinematics ruins games!

 

[Oriebam]

Leave alone. Or at least have the new emoticon look more disgusted/perplexed

It is too bad that Prosper never donated the required two hundred and fifty (I think) dollars: seeing a Prosperous troll would have completed my day.

Also, I think there is room for both troll thumbs up guy and Karate thumbs up guy. The troll one transfers a message that is more like a mix of Karate thumbs up guy and the PBF shocked image.

that's Bioware/gook *thumbsup guy* for you

 

[DwarvenFood]

Just wanted to say it's amazing he gave us random trolls on top of the donation-trolls! He is truly more amazing than one can ever give credit for.

 

[Takeda Kenshi]

Would some kind, wondrous, benevolent soul avatarize my troll? I suck at this shit. :/

 

[kaizoku]

(could someone try doing some editing to make the expression to look like the one in the futurama character... fake edit: don't forget to add a bucket as the protection helmet )

Is MCA accepting more requests?
How about a "i see what you did there" troll version?
Or a troll scene with something along the lines of "gay romances are overrated, tasteful rape with trannies is way better". (come on... this is the codex)

 

[sgc_meltdown]

How about some white light on the troll's face an shirt?

dimmer light:

 

[Stinger]

I could color all of them and make them emoticon size so they're all the same style, but I'd need some kind of incentive.
A troll drawn for me by MCA would do it. Or at least half a troll since I pledged $115 for W2.

I'm no MCA. But I'm always willing to help out a fellow bro. I edited some sketches and made this:

He's feeling the rads....get it?!

 

[Infinitron]

How about some white light on the troll's face an shirt?

dimmer light:

Needs more bloom

 

[sgc_meltdown]

Needs more bloom

the first example is the most contrast my artistic vision will allow
frankly the lines of the face start losing even more of their gradients if I push the layers further

unless you want to lose the colors totally in the lighted area

 

[Stinger]

I like the first one more, meltdown.

I'm thinking the eyes need to be tilted back and the dots need to be more at a downward angle though.

 

[Infinitron]

Yeah, I agree, the first is better.

 

[sgc_meltdown]

the eyes I'm gonna leave to somebody else, but if someone adjusts the vanilla I'll know what to do after that

new infinitron overclocked edition (actual slight bloom in lighted area + less color saturation)

ludicrous pancake accident edition

 

[FeelTheRads]

Heh, pretty cool! But, yeah, you're not MCA.
