I have to agree with the research.
Going that indepth on Wong/Hongen and coming up with the Buryat Republic. I have never heard of that. Damn... amazing.

Well, I've finally finished my October Guard, rounding out the organization by creating updated versions of the remaining Pravda Patrol members:

This just in: Awesome zulu is awesome.
Great work integrating and differentiating what was essentially the same five characters twice (and in the case of Brekhov and Horror Show, thrice). I really like what I'm seeing on that chart, z. Although you might want to consider strengthening that first table a bit visually. It's kind of nondescript right now, IMO, and the patrols all run together. Marksman is misspelled in Ruslan's entry. On the subject of visual disambiguation, have you thought of switching that background square up at all? The gray is becoming too samey for my tastes. Perhaps a different neutral color assigned to (and perhaps influenced by) the group affiliation? I don't know if you still have the uncompressed .PSD files laying around to make such a thing an easy swap. I'm not suggesting you should re-up all those images to your photobucket account, but before you compile everything into the bible, you might want to give it some consideration. Speaking of the bible, will you be doing any composited group images similar to the one you're planning for your version of the Fury Force? |

Like Thespian said, nice way of creating unique characters out of "same" characters.
Love Saskia. She's damn cute. The ponytails poking out are a nice touch.

Thanks! And glad you dig the pigtails on Saskia... I thought it would be a nice whimsical touch (and much mroe practical than the original Sachi design, which had her hair untied under a helmet). Last edited by zuludelta; 09-10-2009 at 10:03 PM.. |

Don't I know it. I have to do the same thing when I do my art history homework. The updated list looks a lot better, BTW.

Those look great.
I was going to compliment you on designing a helmet that looked so similar to the Steel Brigade one. I thought you had come up with it. I should have known better. Should have known you would have spent hours and hours combing the places that only you have access to and found a real world helmet that matched the steel brigade ones. Good job. Who do you have left for the overall project?

Thanks!
I've got a list somewhere... gimme a sec to look for it and I'll post it. EDIT: Here are the Joes remaining on my "to-do" list:
I might end up adding a few more (I've got half a mind to replace the greenshirts in the Direct Action platoons with "named characters"). Last edited by zuludelta; 09-12-2009 at 01:24 PM.. Reason: added list |
