I'm not sure that I like the idea of a real Shrike sitting on my couch eating my Skittles. corpsesarefun: Thank god I missed be nice to shrike day. greenskin lynn: because of all the skittles and soda, you basically live off sugar water, like some sort of freakish human-hummingbird hybrid.

Bright is good! I love the glowing effect - this is turning into areally awesome project.
It kind or reminds me of a futuristic training room - kind of like a holodeck type setup where they project images onto the fighting robots for different opponents. Probably just in my head because it looks similar to the training room in old n64 game I used to play as a kid
Can't wait to see your progress on the combatants!

Wow! I know you said "Green" in the Titleblock, but I wasn't ready for that. Looks great!

the plan is to add a thin line of yellow to white inside the creases/gaps between the square tiles... to have a nice energetic feel about the surfaces...
I think that will add a lot to the overall effect, though I would stick with the green and not stray to the yellow

well...i added watered down scorpion green to the gaps... this is what it turned into... dunno if you can see the difference to the earlier pics... again only flash pics or daylght lamp pics... no real daylight... so i have to postpone better pics until tomorrow...
question: do you think it would be a wise decision to change the basic color of the frame structure of the arena? not the tiles and the glowy stuff... but more the frames of the wall section and the other stuff like the upper section... and if so... what color would work with this greeness?

Don't know if we can see the difference? Of course we can! It looks great! My only suggestion would be to add one (possibly two) more shades to the transitions between your base tile color and the initial glow color. It's a bit abrupt currently.

I was going to say something like, "It would have to be a pretty neutral color, otherwise it would look pretty comicbook-y" but that seems to be kind of what you're going for As boring as it is, I would suggest a medium-dark grey. I think that would mesh well with the green.

That whole thing is going wommm... wommm... WOMMMM in throbbing green-ness. I frickin love it mate!
Automatically Appended Next Post: The only thing I can add is maybe shade the very centre if each tile slightly darker, like a drop of badab black that you then allow to naturally spread out. It'll give the illusion of the light glow not quite reaching the centre of the tile, with some individual variation.
