You are right about this picture. Requesters: if you find yourself torn between two or more pictures that could represent your character, such things as even backgrounds (preferably with a color distinguishably different from the character's) and clean lineart should be considered. it make the "exaltification" work much easier and faster. Most of the requests by Annatar are also good examples of this, as are most of character's pictures found in japanese RPG videogame manuals.
That kind of stuff is particularly important when dealing with extensive modifications.
Oh! Undefined: great tattoo design, but it seems you forgot to add an outer glow in the last one.
Well, I'm finally less busy, and had enough time to advance a little the Anima Banner guide. I also had time to do a couple modifications
This lunar was requested by a friend who was in need of this NPC for a gaming session with his group. A bit of a rush job, but the guy liked it

This piece is now a zenith, as requested, with golden armor and bright caste mark. Some not-very-clean lines and the background gave me some trouble, but I like this artist a lot and, curiously, had long ago downloaded this same image and planned to make a zenith out of it too!

Now, I must say I'm really glad to see other peole making their own mods. It has been an unstated goal of mine since I first made the thread in the old forum, and I've chosen to alter the thread name this time around to reflect that it doesn't need to be works that
I have exaltified. particularly good timing too, since I've been quite busy and unable to keep up with the rithym of new requests. With more people trying it should be easier to make the modifications fast enough.
Perhaps, as we define better our strong/weak points, people will then be able to ask for a specific "exaltificator" for their pic? Or sometime we can all try the same pic, just to compare results and share wich tricks each one used?
Anyway, this thread is even more fun now, I'll be back as soon as I can!
Not the resident forum anything. I'm
not a resident here! I don't live here! I DO OTHER THINGS WITH MY LIFE, I SWEAR!
Needing Art inspiration for your character? Or maybe you've got the right art, but it could use some extras to look more like your Exalt? For that and more, check the
