Lol =D in space everyone can hear me scream! @ayababa The hair was done with photoshop, with wacom yes. if you want to have a closer look at the hair file construction heres the link: http://www.thecheekyduck.com/sc/hair.psd I do draw in B&W then colour on top using levels, cb etc. base then strands, then strands, then glows, multi, etc. its a very long, long process. but i think it looks nice at end result, no easy way to do hair sorry =) but i hope that helps. @can't see the banshee plane? i just did the windows. =P ![[image loading]](http://www.thecheekyduck.com/sc/mockup.jpg) ahh thanks for that. i figured it just took forever to do with layers and photoshop etc haha. my hair isnt any way near as detailed but i usually spend a few hours on it. but then again i only draw and paint manga / anime style or conceptual stuff. not really realistic. thanks for answering btw ^_^ edit: its my background now at work | ||

Are you maybe just a casual player of the game? Have you ever actually even looked at the portrait of the Banshee pilot?? This is quite obviously a banshee pilot laying on a cloaked banshee. If you wouldn't notice it without having it pointed out, then you either aren't very aware, or just haven't played as terran much, or watched vods of terrans, or played through the single player.... actually you're probably just not very aware. JoonP, you are a complete asshat. If it's not your preference, fine. But don't sit here and attack the artist. The fact that it's fan art is not subjective. The helmet and uniform are obviously Banshee. Blizzard made the Pilot in the game sexy. This is not some new element the artist introduced. If you have some beef with the tight fitting uniform of Banshee pilots, bring it up with Blizzard! I mean, both of you... for christ sake! look at the portrait!!! That isn't "quite obviously" a banshee pilot. Yes I am familiar with the banshee portrait. No I still don't think it's very relevant to the game itself. I don't care if you think I'm a complete ass hat, you have bad taste in art, and bad taste in everything if you think that is decent fan art. Alright, the fact that it isn't fan art is not subjective, you're right, there's no way anyone could ever consider that decent fan art. And the banshee pilot is NOT sexy in the game, are you kidding me bro? Just because it's a woman it is automatically "SEXY"? If that isn't the most sexist degrading shit I ever read. Her suit is a bit bulky, and her helmet isn't a brimming arousing accessory. Saying she is sexy is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. In that video you posted she even has a tube coming out of her throat. I don't know who finds that sexy. Fan art involves more relevant things about the game. Drawing some extremely background kind of thing in a game just for the sake of being able to manipulate it into a sex object doesn't constitute true fan art. In fact that's closer to porn. And I think your need to attack me for being a "new member" or assuming that I wouldn't know what a banshee pilot looks like, or calling me an asshat really showcases how weak your argument is.

Heck, the author's intention is explicitly stated, so unless you are some blizzard sc art employee you are nobody to judge "this isn't sc fan art". Thumbs up to the author. Yes, defining things is stupid and anyone can do whatever they want and I'll vehemently and mindlessly support it. I'm going to draw a cup, say it is Jim Raynor's cup, and then post it here declaring it fan art. Sound good? | ||

And no, i will not discuss that with you. Just because i could rather explain that to a friggin wall than to you. I like the art. Hope to see more from you. | ||

i do strongly believe you should talk it up with a professional instead of spamming your shit on a very talented artist thread . understand that what make a community great is talented people putting their time toward the subject , and enriching the word , may it be fan art, modding , maps , casting , or great forums and knowledge base (<3 TL) . even if its not your style , which is fine , recognize the talent and time put into it appreciate it and move on . you don't have to love it , but you should respect it as a part of the community . you love ugly aliens blowing up in space . good put that on your desktop and leave us alone. for cheekyduck i very much hoping to see more content from you , i do love your work . as for the commentating , as a personal taste , i would prefer seeing you trying to dual cast with a more analytic serious style commentator . i think both you and your friend leaning to more the more fun bright light side , and i would personnally like to see balance | ||

on the other hand, now that the banshee is out lined...it kinda looks like the pilot would slide down...i mean, it IS glass after all, and there's nothing there for a foothold , unless your count her extremely uncomfortable left leg positioning as a foot hold  | ||

But the amount of flak he's taking right now, especially on a personal level - that's unneccessary. The discussion's not even about the picture itself, but about the whole concept of fan art, and even if you don't agree with joonp's point of view, there's no need to overact like some people here do. Calling his arguments "ridiculous" (@Unas) is just wrong, because they are well thought out after all. And suggesting a "hidden resent to sexuality" (@haflo) ... seriously, what did you smoke before posting? | ||

With the blue suit and the heals, this appears to be closer to Samus with recolored hair, not the Banshee pilot. But regardless, I am now going to get attacked for disliking the picture or something anyways, so I'm not even sure why I bothered to post. | ||
