Sorry Oblivion... how did I forget to comment on that?

The shaper thingy is an evolution of your previous shaper concept, right? The... "Shaper Beauty Shaper Perfection" thing?

It is, actually, a great improvement. Not the same setting, but a great splash screen. The only thing that makes it less likely to be a replacement and more a complement is that there's no shaper body. I want to see how they look like, from head to toe, though just the head (in this specific scene) fits great.

You used a pine-tree-skyshot as background... right?
Try using a full-body shaper in a similar setting, but straightshot (instead of upshot) - same oversaturated sky, and glowy background... same everything, except the angles.

If you have those two in a "splash set", I'm sold.

Thanks Stakhanov. I confess. it's not hair at all but glow dust from some exotic shaper slug, when mixed with a certain variety of delicious red worms will produce the bright blue glow effects.lol

In a way its an evolution and a conformation to JackS' descriptions. He didn't specifically say violet irises in dark corneas tho... but I got the impression from his description of halfblood shaper children. So I'm still waiting for moi approval on that.

And no, its not pine, but it evokes a forest. An effect I find pleasing. Its actually fractal shapes... , meant to highlight the shaper preference for living things...

Now the reason why I didn't make the body. it would be a bit too erotic, I think... Shapers don't care much for clothes... and well.. how'd you feel about this gal dressed in twisty vines, flowers at strategic places...you get the point. Anyway, JackS expressly wished for an inkier shaper... well you might as well make a silhoette of a mannequin, none of the features would be discernible then.

I like the angle now tho... she looks like a dinosaur contemplating her next meal... and well.. i *sob* love dino *choke* saurs...

... okay. Will see if I can but no promises... I'm tired of shapers... maybe unadorned monks instead

I noticed. Though with all that postprocessing, I couldn't tell for sure. Great work hiding it.

Haha... yes... I get the idea. I was thinking of a dressed one, like the one on the first picture, but if Jack says it's inaccurate... ok... I'll be happy with the head shot alone.

What, no Shaper erotica?

@geoscope

no Shaper erotica?

A sheep is all that VS pilots need for erotic amusement, methinks.

Oh well.

@klauss

actually I was too lazy to make a custom background, so I tried fractals. lol. Anyway, will see what JackS thinks of it first.

@stakhanov

... I've seen roaches creep out of my CPU at times, once I saw a butterfly emerge from my disk drive. Needless to say, it got squished.. now my disk drive won't read CD's...

Actually all the splash screens that were yet uncommitted are in the svn as of today.
Pretty late, but better than never.

Cool!

Thanks
