Description SOUND TEST featuring Kira the Wildcat
First step to take over the wooorld~ >8D

Oh goodness, what is that? o_o
Yees XD One of quite a few pictures been started over a month ago XD
I'm leaving too many pics unfinished at the moment. o o''
Anyway, staying out of school since I still didn't feel much better this morning, I decided to work a little on this pic today, not really expecting to get it done.
But I did, and although it doesn't look the way I had it in my mind, it still looks awesome to me. 83

I planned to do something like this, because Kira is such a "music freak" and I felt like doing a pretty lively pose for once *shot* XD
Well and one day I just got this Sound Test idea in my mind X3
And thinking about *Chibi-Metal 's and my craziness about world domination with our own Sonic Riders World Grand Prix~ *pokes Mariah's new Sonic Riders outfit and Board which are two of the unfinished pics on my PC* ~this is just one step to our big success~ 8DDD
Next will be the music itself~ 83 *pats Music Maker* *shot*

By the way, since I and (as it seems) many others around here haven't seen anyone else doing something like this before, I'll just say at this point, that who ever comes around with a picture like this the next time, has officially ripped my idea, which I absolutely dislike! D|

__About the Picture:__Well, as already said, the sketch was done after I got the idea to draw a pose that shows some movement. Stuck quite a while on drawing this, especially because of the hair and the head phones. Talking about movement, that's why thinks like for example the cross necklace are kinda "flying" around, although it might not look like it for some of you, who knows. XD
Coloring was quite a pain, because once I completely finished flat coloring, including fixing the small white spots everywhere, Photoshop froze and I had to restart it So once again I could make half of the coloring.. AGAIN! D|
Now, talking about the shading.... I'm not really happy with it ._.'' sometimes I could kill myself for my weird placing of shades.. >>; Highlights are alright... and decent~ lol |3
Aaand of course the background was inspired by SA2B's sound test menu AND by a wallpaper of Sonic as a DJ, almost everyone around here should have seen at least once. But of course own ideas are absolutely not missing in here~ X3 just as brushes and custom shapes~
The button are made with direct references from SA2B, which means I was always running upstairs and downstairs, between my PC and the TV screen with the SA2B sound test menu on it. XD
I like the unselected buttons the most :3
By the way, I've added my most important characters related to Mariah Acorn in the selection, so that's why for example Maria the Hedgecat is not listed there, although she's my second most important character right after Mariah.

so it's a normal request to draw your character... well.. just look around. there are tons of great artists around here. and some of them do even take requests, you just have to take a look. While I'm currently in quite a big crisis having enough problems to get the stuff done I actually WANT to draw D:

Jetzt weiss ich, was du mit dem Sound Test meinst 8D
Ich muss mal schauen, ob ich für Flasch ein Action Script finde, wo man mehrere Songs in einem Player einbauen kann.
Hab das mal versucht, aber dann hat der Player alle Songs auf einmal abgespielt *keinen_ohrenkrebs_remix_will* x.x XD
Der Chara gefällt mir sehr gut. Sie hebt sich sehr von vielen anderen Fancharas ab ^-^
Besonders gefallen mir die Haare und die Ohren ^--^

MariahAcorn In reply to Dj-Reverberance [2008-02-20 15:23:18 +0000 UTC]

lol? o o ach du meinst in so einen player wie die, in denen du immer deine songs hochlädst, wo dann sonst immer nur ein titel steht? o o
tjaja sowas im Sonic Sound Test style das wär schon was XD *shot*
Naja D: ich würd auch gern selbst so'n bissel musik zusammenmixen können. ABer mit meinem Komischen Music maker hab ich auch immer nur die gleichen Bausteine, da kommt im endeffekt ja doch immer wieder was ziemlich gleiches bei raus -.-'' und selbst wenn ich dann mal nen remix von nem richtigen lied hinkriege, is das auf dauer auch nich grad das wahre >>;
und lol danke :3 ich mag das redesign von =black-avalon voll. >w< Ich wollte ja ein so ziemlich komplettes redesign, weil sie mir so einfach nicht mehr gefallen hat, aber dass sie dabei noch so nah am original bleiben kann und sie doch so sehr verbessert hat, find ich unglaublich 8D Yay für schwarz-pinke Haare und gothic style OvO

Dj-Reverberance In reply to MariahAcorn [2008-02-20 16:38:44 +0000 UTC]

Yep, genau das meinte ich. Vielleicht bekomm ich das ja doch noch mal hin. Oder ich frag einfach in nen Flash Forum nach
Diese Musik Maker eignen sich eigentlich nur gut für Hintergrundsounds zu irgendwelchen Animationen oder Spielen. Richtige Songs bekommt ich damit eigentlich auch nicht hin, weil die Auswahl der Samples sehr gering ist.
Und wenn man dann doch etwas Anhörliches hinbekommen hat, wird das Mastering meist nicht so gut.
Es gibt von Magix noch solche Sound Pool CD's, wo viele Samples drauf sind. Vielleicht kann man auch irgendwo welche downloaden. Wenn man wirklich gute Sachen haben möchte wird es meist teurer x.x -> Oder man versucht selbst welche zu machen.
Verti kann selbst Instrumente und Samples mit Fruity Loops basteln und hat mir auch gezeigt, wie es geht. Aber
Meine klingen längst nicht so gut wie seine *übung_brauch* XD
Am liebsten würd ich mal sein Hirn anzapfen und sein Wissen auf mich übertragen XXD LoL

MariahAcorn In reply to Dj-Reverberance [2008-02-20 17:05:18 +0000 UTC]

nio eben das isses ja. Von Magix ist mein Music Maker ja auch o o'' sowas besseres wär in so nem fall ja wirklich nicht schlecht lol o o''
und nyo was willst du denn? ich find das was du gemacht hast bei weitem besser als die von ihm. Liebt aber eher an dem style denk ich ma. Aber an sich, find ich das doch voll hamma was du da zusammenbastelst o_o
nio aber das wär schon geil D: *auch können will* dann könnte ich damit auch meine eigenen interessen ausschöfen und nicht immer suchen, ob irgendwo ein gutes lied ist, was wozu passen könnte. Auch wenn ich bei weitem nicht einfallsreich genug bin um mir selbst was zu überlegen =o=''

lol k |DD if you baadly want to *drop*
though this was already planned to be kind of a theme for Mariah and her team as if they were competing in the world grand prix (as always stupid ideas from Anne and me XD) with me as the manager, Anne as the writer and I actually thought about maybe adding Victoria and Tessa as her "helpers" although it's weird to see Mariah so far above the two.. (even though she's Team Colorful's leader XD) she's just kinda the most important player in our idea lol XD

D: well it was not meant as a kind of "henchmen" for Mariah... but just the fact that Mariah was meant to be the most important player and not all three, makes it weird to me o o''

MariahAcorn In reply to Wild-Baguette [2008-02-20 17:18:30 +0000 UTC]

yees but still xD I was thinking about either adding the two in there because it's usually a triple team and it's weird to see Mariah without the two XD and no other characters would be better as a help for Mariah than them xDDD but as I said on the other hand it's still weird to see Mariah as key player and Victoria and Tessa just "helping" her. Well I guess It's not more than with Team Sonic. Sonic the keyplayer, tails more important for the mechanic stuff and Knuckles for... well dunno... whatever XD

MariahAcorn In reply to Wild-Baguette [2008-02-20 19:00:17 +0000 UTC]

yes sure but talking for example about Victoria... what would she be able to do then? because Mariah is already the power type and so we have a speed type without a... job xD
