Official ENTM-GD thread! 2.0

[Terrini]

What I meant was that in the live letter they said that the OLD default was that characters were lit, but because of the new expansion's darker theme, they changed the default to have no character light but you can change it back to the old lighting if you want. That's WHY they added the lighting toggle.

So....
taking this thread off page 14!! omg lol

Rejected Photo Time!

Here are the ones that didn't feel right.

First up my first attempt. I thought it be cool to be on miner and have the golum out like we're heading to the mining points reeeaaallly early in the morning as to beat out the others. Felt like there was too much sky and my minion kinda blended with the background.


This was my second attempt. I loved the lighting here. But it didn't feel like any real concept except I just look bored lol.


Third attempt getting closer to my submission. I actually thought it looked cute with the cheek to cheek thing lol. But my mentor thought it was more like the minion was going "Look at me! Look at me! Ehehehehehe" So I took a re shoot.

For those of you having issues with the character lighting, check out my thread on the Wind-Up Sun minion. It explains how it is used for screenshots and I even have example pics in a link on the first post.

I tried a lot of different things, but I definitely wanted to use the Thancred minion because I loved the jump/flip he does! Here is some of my unused photos:

OMG I love this picture even more than the one you submitted! It's like he's showing off for you alone!

For me, I took SO MANY pictures, but so many were duds because Minute was just slithering off to another location or standing there like an idiot... My first mentorships had Minute like that and I was told to capture his special moves~ And That's how I ended up with my dual-casting pic.

It was suggested I retake it in a more scenic locale but I chose this place because it's where Mindflayer S rank spawns and it's pretty xD on top of that, the spell animation is from Holy (yes, overused holy! But it's from the wand waving so it's not as iconic as the "AHHHHH~" holy pose.

Hey! everyone! Sorry I haven't been talkative or active much on here XD I've been very much deep into the expansion @.@ and still am for the most part haha...

Anyways, now that the new round has been posted, here was a concept I was trying to pull off... but I felt a midge... I mean a Lala could have pulled it off MUCH better. I was just too tall to get the angle I wanted >.< and sitting down shots were never good @.@



Also... Front page updated with link for new round XD

My first minion of choice:



He was not having any of it xD

And this (Which I'm sure you guys have seen by now as I used it earlier) was originally my choice, but it was far too similar to the forum thread cosplay theme, so I decided not to use it.


And this was a close runner up, but for some reason there was just something off about it imo...maybe because I wanted it to feel like the mimic and I were fighting, and I just wasnt getting that from this shot


EDIT: Here's a couple more for the road

I LOVED the lighting there, but couldn't seem to recapture it for a better shot.


Damn you mob aoe!


Just for funzies XD I love ninja abilities



Every time I tried to get the shot with the chest in the area I wanted, I'd get attacked >.@ Had to have my friend come and bodyguard for me for a bit lol

I love your fat cat cosplay! Came out even cuter than mine!
