There was no big idea behind this piece other than I just wanted to make a kick ass picture real quick.

I spent maybe 4 hours in all prepping the scene. The rendering itself took just over 25 hours to complete. Way more than what I expected but that is the price you pay for the nice motion blur effect.

I actually have plans to render a second picture of this scene from a different angle so tune in soon - same mech-time, same mech-channel


***16.5.2012***
Some minor tweaks to motion blurring. Also managed to reduce the render time significantly.

***5.6.2012***
Changed the material on the mech slightly.

***3.7.2012***
New missile effects and some fine tuning on the laser

Well this is another pic that should have been finished ages ago and I think I know why I procrastinate so much with these BG's (I think they're cursed) I seem to have the worst luck when I'm working on one.

My Current Wallpaper

To all Armored Core fans, Armored Core Rulez! Hell Yeah!

This is a background I made in October of 2007 that I've had on and off since, and now I have it on again, so I decided to post it. These "10 Best" were chosen (in no particular order) in an article that was on the Absolution NeXt (www.anxtoonami.com) before all the stuff was taken down. I would agree that these certainly are 10 of the best, although in my opinion, they should've had Gundam Wing in there somewhere... Anyway, since my laptop has a 1280x800 screen, I put the white bar on the bottom so that the base of the picture itself lines up with the taskbar, so that the taskbar doesn't cut off any of the pic. It also reduces the slight vertical streth.

I may not always show it, but I am a hardcore Toonami fan. I remember seeing Moltar a few times, but I really got into it in the TOM1 era (ah, those were the days). And I stayed with it to the very end. I miss Toonami like nobody's business, and it still pisses me off that CN just threw it all away like they did. Toonami inspired me like nothing else, in both my art and my writing. I wouldn't be the way I am today if not for Toonami. I could rant, but it's all been done before. I do have a number of sweet fanpics in mind, though, which I'll get to...eventually. So until then, here's a sweet background for all you Faithfuls out there. Stay gold.

P.S.: Perhaps I ought to list the shows, in case anyone has trouble recognizing any.

Top row, left to right: Reboot, IGPX, Samurai Jack, Tenchi Muyo!, Dragon Ball Z
Bottom row, left to right: Big O, Justice League Unlimited, 08th M.S. Team, Outlaw Star, Zoids Chaotic Century

More Total annihilation stuff for a change. Here we see the Arm commander with a group of fresh cannon fodder (Peewee Kbots) up to no good.

WALLPAPER, ICONS, AND BBI SCRIPT INCLUDED.
The wallpaper is "Robocain" by Chaotic-Alterego [link] [link] with her permission. Chaotic-Alterego did a special rendition of her Robocain wallpaper for this theme and I thank her for her time and effort.
The wharf icons are MBX-III by modblackmoon [link] included with her permission.
The clock icon is by skingcito [link] included with his permissiom.
The wharf is a complete plugin with icons, but only the Web drawer is functional with paths to apps most of us use - Firefox, Outlook Express, and Utorrent. Use this drawer as a template. The rest of the drawers are full of buttons with icons, but you have to provide paths to your own apps and name the buttons accordingly. Ctrl+Right Click on each button to go to Control Options/Mouse Down/Run Open/Browse and browse to each up. Then, Ctrl+Right click on each button to go to Control Options/Control Name and type the name of each up so you can remember what each button is pointing to.
Due to latest (and silliest) deviantART rules, we themers can not upload full packages with exe files, zips within zips etc. etc.
So, I am afraid you will have to work a bit to make this... well, work. Lol.
First of all, get my Balance theme [link] and copy the bbslideshow plugins subfolder to your plugins subfolder. Copy freeimage.dll from the Balance zip file to your Blackbox folder. The wallpaper plugin (bbslideshow) point to MY wallpaper folder, which happens to be Wallpaper2. You probably have your wallpapers in another folder, so you need to open the plugins rc file and look for the line bbslideshow.picPath: Add the path of YOUR wallpapers folder.
The clock icon should be placed in C:\ICONS\Clocks.
The wallpaper should be placed in C:\Blackbox\backgrounds.
The wharf icons should be placed in C:\ICONS2\MB_XIII_by_modblackmoon.
Sorry for the inconvenience, but it IS a silly DA desicion that all of us hope will be overturned.
Again, this theme is for a resolution of 1920X1080 or higher. For lower resolutions, please note me
Anyone who wishes to try Blackbox for the first time, please e-mail me for instructions.
If you want to learn more about Blackbox, I suggest you read an introduction here [link] and my tutorials:
[link] tutorial part I - the shell
[link] tutorial part II - the plugins
[link] tutorial part III - the styles
They are pretty much outdated by now (I MUST find time to bring them up to date... lol) but they will give you a general idea.
And, of course, feel free to ask if you need more info or instructions

If youve seen ghost in the shell and know somthing I could fix, plese tell me because I didnt have the greatest sourse images.

I just took this little piece of Armored Core Art, and made up the whole left section, as to use it as a 1600x1200 wallpaper.
