Vyolet, you're doing awesome! I actually like the unedited image of him better.

Also, man. Those B&S characters are awful - what is wrong with their breasts? THEY LOOK SO PANCAKING CREEPY!

I tried hybriding Mr. Angry with Kim. Just opens us up to the same accusations. Honestly, put a red filter on Kim I think we have it.

Okay.... I'm going to say something that may seem contradictory to itself

The image has become too busy... yet it's missing an element.

Needs a fallen hero on the ground.

Maybe less fire bombs, and add fallen Statesman?

not crazy 'bout the eye manipulation.

Some faked depth of field could help out with this. Putting the less critical elements out of focus.

And on the eye manipulation, lose the slanting. It almost looks intentionally racial. Maybe all he needs is his eyebrows changed. Ya know... like a

It's also my thought that adding fallen Statesman will help the transition between the two images.

image 1:  Statesman tall and proud with heroes standing with him
image 2:  Statesman is fallen, heroes defeated, position usurped by greedy villainous Kim and his vacuous Boobettes.

I think we are good where we are at for now anyway. At this point any other changes to the front page images I am going to leave solely to the discretion of Vy or Colette. As far as I can tell I have updated both images to the latest versions.

Now then I am going to step in here and say a few things. This is a community project, however I am putting my foot down on any further PC issues. This particular project is targeted toward a niche part of a larger community. That niche being part of an exterior community that is all about a particular ease of mind and enjoyment that we are attempting to access for publicity. Many people are working hard on this project myself included and although I appreciate everyone has their own opinions and I don't mind hearing them out - now that we've had those debates I don't want them to keep trickling in here.

Unless something is just blatantly racist or bigoted then please do not start in on me or anyone else here. Otherwise I will be glad to hand this off to someone else and you can hand out trophies to everyone that came in 10th place. Whatever floats your boat. Yes I am a bit defensive of those that work hard, but at the same time I really get tired of the constant bickering on this subject, especially when it has all been gone over. If you are personally offended then please PM me and I'll be happy to have a rational and sincere discussion with you about the matter.

Also yes, the woman on the right is Ivy from Soul Calibur so we probably wouldn't want to include her despite it being the same artist.

I'm a 36 DDD, and I can tell you, they don't work that way.

Colette

Yeah, I think we've imposed upon poor Vy enough. Here's my final attempt.

I corrected some "pink" fire on Kim's shirt, shaded him subtly red and very carefully altered his expression to make him look more... arrogant, I guess. It literally was a smear campaign. Heh!

Let's call it a day. We have our backup if anyone objects to Mr. Angry Asian Guy.

Thanks! I needed that :P

Noted all the corrections and made the necessary changes. Looks much better now.

I have to run away from my Photoshop now. I won't be able to do any more edits to this image until tomorrow. Hopefully there won't be that many.

"I have to run away from my Photoshop now."

Can't imagine why.

And I'm good with this one too.

JanessaVR

Yup, works for me!  Fantastic job, Vy!   :D

And you know, I can tell the new girls on the left are B&S, too - they're also creepy dolls...

Listen to the 'mustn'ts'. Listen to the 'don'ts'. Listen to the 'shouldn'ts', the 'impossibles', the 'won'ts'. Listen to the 'you'll never haves', then listen close to me... Anything can happen . Anything can be.

I love how the one Boobette in the orange... "outfit"... almost looks all pretendy concerned about our fallen hero... almost  :p

Colette

:: Pets the cat, just because. ::

Y'know why the one on the right is especially creepy? She has no pupils.

Ok status update:

- Latest pictures are in
- Grammar and punctuation fixed per instructions
- Slight restructure of images and text blocks for alignment purposes

- Setting up complete website page structure for paginated setup
--> Allow for memes page, videos page, etc. pages.
--> Moved to unlimited bandwidth server for streaming purposes in these events.

- Page stylesheets manually updated for even broader browser support. Should support most mobile devices.

Oh my, you wonderful, amazing people, how I love you.

Now let's get one thing STRAIGHT here, Green Frog and anyone else who wants to flail arms and scream about racism.

This image and website are NOT for general public consumption.  We are NOT going to make it part of the SaveCoH campaign as a whole.

This website is intended PURELY to catch the attention of Stephen Colbert and his staff, who create the nightly "Colbert Report" (which is pronounced, and I kid you not, "The Cole-bear Re-pore"), a satire on tin-foil-hat, far-rightwing conservative "news" shows aired by Comedy Central.  As such it is fitting in PERFECTLY with the over-the-top satire of jingoism that Colbert is known for.  If you are not familiar with the Colbert Report, I suggest you go to YouTube and become familiar with it before you start spouting off accusations of racism.  Again, this is intended as something aimed at the staff of a particular target whose job is satire, not the general public.

Got that?  OK.

Guys this is brill.  Larry highly approves.  Colbert has said "the show" isn't the performance in front of his audience. The "show" is really what he does all day with his staff. "There's the joy in doing this hard thing," he explained. "That hard work together IS the show.... I then have the responsibility and pleasure of SHARING what that joy was [with the audience]."

We want to get his attention, make him laugh and give him a "bit" he can work into his on-air persona, something to fill in between the more overtly political segments.  In short, we want to be able to give him the opportunity to be the Captain-America-Shield-Bearer rescuing the scattered and defeated members of HIS SuperNation with as little actual work as possible.  If he then takes it and runs with it, we have icing on the cake AND ice cream with sprinkles!
I will go down with this ship.  I won't put my hands up in surrender.  There will be no white flag above my door.  I'm in love, and always will be.  Dido
