BACKSCRATCHIN'... Or something

[SachikoMaeda]

Mmmhm. Time for a feedback thread I suppose. Feel free to feedback your opinions on all things Sachiko.

Characters? Leron Silverfang, Doran Goldquill, Aendron Darkwhisper, and Kirolan Vilroeni.

This is also feedback for my IC threads regarding Doran and Aendron.

Wanna comment on my art also? I have an art thread here, ya know.

Right now I'm looking for more feedback regarding my frequently updated Épreuves de la vie. Though I'll accept anything productive.

Ah Sachiko, good times have been had together in the past...and much has changed for the better....

But, there are still things I must state about some of the short moments I've had with you. Mainly referring to (do note that many others are guilty of doing this) the emotes in combat or even in other moments which look "lackluster" and "immersion breaking" as one would put it.

For example:

Someone would attack and roll, but you would roll above his.

You would emote something along the lines of /me dodges the blow like a boss!

Now I'm all for good laughs and fun times but these sort of things sort of ruin the mood, lighthearted or not. It's like hearing house music in the background while playing a horror game.

Anyways....

Now as for your characters, I've hardly RP'd with any of your elves so I can't really put any comments there, but I do admit that your characters in terms of actions have improved massively since the first time you joined back when you were still on Sumire (or that other night elf with the rifle who I completely forgot of).

I swear you slammed your name and characters hard amongst the community, especially with the Silverfang guild. Not a guild I'm too thrilled of personally but still, running a guild with a large amount of people and sustaining it for so long is quite the chore, especially with the many conflicts you had to deal with during your leadership.

This brings me to another positive thing, your motivation....

Oh my...I hate to say it but your motivation is pretty damn high and it shows that you're really dedicated with the things you do on CotH.

I'll admit, I was shocked when I saw you becoming Forum Helper and I suppose you were too. I was flaying my arms around for a moment till I stopped and realized that you were mainly chosen for (in my opinion) the point I made above, your dedication. And being dedicated, as people constantly say in our lives, is pretty much the key to success.

Oh well, enough of that. You've come a long way and changed for the best, but like all of us, there's always room for improvement.

[Kage]

Oh good. I was hoping for a chance to Destroy all feelings you've ever had tell you how good your are in rp and such.

Lets start with your art. I love it. You have an amazing style that adds realism to this animated world, and your expression art is that of high quality. Kiro has his emotionless tendency's written all over posture to the slight glance away of his eyes, while Doran has his childish "I'm better then you think!" look as well. I look forward to more of your art, and I hope you draw Krest soon.

Next, your IC posts So far the only one I've read in depth was Doran's journal. I love it. Where as it's all around darker, it has teh comedy twist of a 12 year old wanting to be more, the 15 year old girl saying "Ohmygod ohmygod ohmygod, that hot guy looked at me." And the older, almost normal mentality of him talking about the darker times of his life.

Finally, your characters This is a bit hard for me to say, but the Silverfang's have died. I've been on for weeks, and rarely I see another silverfang out and rping as one Leron is stuck and under complete control of Salor, and basically is a wuss. Now I plan on having Krest bring him out of it, but if may be like trying to bring a ship to shore that already sunk. If there is something, anything, to bring the guild back out of it's inactive curse, I leave it to you to figure out, and if you do, I shall help you along the way.

Now for Kiro and Doran, I love them. Two differen't personalities, yet played at there utmost best. Bravo for those two.

All and all, the Silverfang's need help, and Leron needs to be whipped back into shape. But you know I l ove chu, and I hope chu don't take it too hard.

Characters? Leron Silverfang, Doran Goldquill, Aendron Darkwhisper, and Kirolan Vilroeni.

Leron - Manly belf! He seems down to earth, and his struggle with maintaining his haus, a family, and remaining a faithful sin'dorei while going against that breeding campaign was interesting.

Doran - He's growing up! But, I still don't get how he can be so dumb with fel sometimes. Seventy-four is young for an elf, but only a twelve year old might think a demon is your "friend".

Aendron - Is it the same lack of logic Doran has, or he knows it but he doesn't want to admit it? I refer to the fact that, yes. If he's going to act the way he does, people are going to hate him. It ain't the crippleness. Will he grow past this? I can't tell.

This is also feedback for my IC threads regarding Doran and Aendron.

Fun to read, do get to see Doran growing up here. Try to lay off elipses when you write. They're fine in RP, but who would write dots? Use dashes instead, perhaps.

Wanna comment on my art also? I have an art thread here, ya know.

Good god, the shading. You know I love it.

Snuggle bunnyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy <3


I consider you as well as myself as among the most prominent female-to-male crossplayers in the server, which is great because I feel there aren't enough XD. At times, though, it does feel a bit obvious that your elves is RPed by a female--which can arguably be okay given they're ELVES. /shot

But nevertheless! Even your mild-mannered characters have pretty high energy, and I enjoy especially Doran. I understood entirely why you were upset with the circumstances surrounding his death--he's adorable, and enduring a week of no RP with him can seem pretty long. Nevertheless, I'm glad I get to RP with him, and I hope to RP more often with your other characters, especially Aendron (CRIPPLE BUDDIES, DAMMIT).

As for you as an individual, I'm happy to have you as a Forum Helper. For a while, I was anxious to have you on the team (cute and adorable as you are, you gave me the impression that you're more of a weaboo than a WoWfan at the time), but you've proven me wrong in so many ways, and I am happy for that. You're mature, patient, and open to accepting mistakes. I noticed how when you see you're weak in some areas of lore, you try to fix it by rolling a character for it. I think it's just for that orc character, but regardless. Seeing that kind of action warms my heart as not only an RPer, but as an individual who thirsts to expand knowledge through first-person immersion.

You've grown a lot since we started RPing, and I'm sad, due to my work and school schedule, that our RP times are coinciding less and less. But I am glad, otherwise, to have you on the team and as a friend. You'll always be my little snuggle bunny <3

I'm almost a little scaredy to necropost my feedback thread. But I shall do so to improve. I've got many more approved in time and took in consideration with what has been left here. Also, I am still looking for ways to branch out and expand my lore knowledge. I need someone to teach me these things since I don't have the classic Warcrafts at the moment (they're on my "to download" list) and lack access to retail. But anyways...

Feedback if you want!

Oh... uh, okay. Uh. I can do this. I just got to act cooool. Cooool~

RPed with you... once? Matthew and Doran with Matthew scaring the fel out of the girl only for him to learn that girl is actually a dude. Not one I'll remember well, to be truthful, as it just happened and Doran's action didn't sit well with me (running out of the safety of Hearthglen because his mom started to cough). So I can't properly comment on your RP abilities. Sorry.

So you get a non-artist talking to you about art. I looked at the first few pages and then the last five of your regular art thread. I also looked at a few of your chuckle bucket comics. One of the things I enjoy most is when an artist gives their character life through facial expressions instead of giving them a default one, using generic expressions, or something else that saves time. You do the last three, depending on the character you're drawing at the time. It hurts me. I am hurt. I'm assuming you like art, correct me if I'm wrong and the art thread is just there because you hate yourself, and the plain faces make me think that you could do much more but you would rather stick to "default stone face staring out in the distance because screw you camera" or "anime and manga expression #0024".

I don't keep it a secret among people I regularly talk to that I like Lackadaisy for the jazz, Prohibition Era setting, and the facial expressions. I'm not asking you to completely copy Lackadaisy until your art style is similar to Tracy Butler, but even her cold characters have more life in their face than Leron or Doran. Maybe sit down and work on their expressions, even drawing some they would be rarely seen with? I guess that's all I have to say, yeah. Expressions. Give me more. Look at that anatomy and make something with it.
