John Lions Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Thanks Ed! Really like the SubUrban Legend and the reimagining of Blackwell, agree that I'm not 100% on Frogue but he IS in his 30s now so I can see him showing a bit more age esp given his bio states he was a bit of a flop as champ and is being worked down the card. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are getting really picky now though I'd say. I just looked through some other companies I'm familiar with... J-B Cash - I'm such a big fan of his, and his first render I can remember of him, was so cool. He had a great hairline, and a smirk on his face. This one, is a little wonky, and I don't like his tash and mouth. I actually prefer the J-B and Buff from your first pack. Zeus doesn't work for me either. He doesn't look 'Bronzed God' enough. Julius Moor - looks off, but he may just need re-cutting and zooming in. Especially when you put him next to his former partner Jacob Jett. Side note: Xander West had an extra finger, so I fixed it in GIMP for you: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lions Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Oh, one more I thought of that stood out to me. I think your first swing at Australian Devil was better than the second, I get some real uncanny valley/handsome Squidward vibes from the current one. Probably a bit more of a pain to do with the hair/facepaint/etc, but I think a design more in line with his first render (or even Marihito Masuko who his whole aesthetic is very reminiscent of). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdJames Posted August 24 Author Share Posted August 24 Some final updates before bed... Chess Maniac, Curtis Shaw, Daniel Black Francis, Disturbed Donte Dunn, Halloween Knight, Kian Owens, Mercury Sterling Whitlock, Skye Hermosa, Shogun Watoga, Steven Parker (Don't like Halloween Knight...looks too much like Samael The Accuser in this getup. Will redo tomorrow) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDPW Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 Here is one that I have noticed as I have played with MAW: Nate DeMarcus - something about the pouty lips/sullen face that doesn't sit right. Also his former tag partner (Tyrone Gray) looks more badass/cool even though Nate has more star power. His current rendered look is very unique in the CVerse but doesn't look like someone primed for a push. Maybe if he just had the larger lips like his 2020 render but also a bit of a grin or smile that would help. I think the general facial features from his 2020 render are carried over but maybe it is his facial expression that is off putting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krautz Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 Wondering if you could do a alternative of Angel of Mercy, his mask is just not screaming world champion and main eventer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheStroke7 Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 Hi Ed! thanks a lot for the dedication to this project. Almost every render of the promotions I currently use/watch has a unique feeling and a clear link between image and description. This helps to add realism and immersion to the game, so really thank you so much. If I may ask just one worker to review, that may probably be Masked Patriot in SWF. The render is great, but to me does not feel "masked wrestler in an international promotion and with a patriot gimmick". I have nothing against using the picture if masked patriot was in MAW with low pop, but I would imagine SWF will review and repackage the mask to seem more clean/serious for the bigger audiences. I do not know if I was able to get my point, and if not, I can elaborate further. Anyway thank you so so much, for the work, and for giving us the possibility to suggest some modification to the picture set. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanMaths677 Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 I have the sub forum bookmarked and I'm sure most will do that too. Everyone is always looking for graphics so I it'll be ok I think. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDPW Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 No need to worry I think this will be a nonissue as most folks are looking for graphics which get posted updated much faster and frequently than databases. You will get plenty of traffic. Your work is excellent and folks appreciate it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mods forum isn't a sub forum, it's a forum in the TWIX section. Everyone who's interested in TEW graphics is still going to come into the graphics section and see them, it's just going to make it easier for people to find mods when that's what they're looking for, and to find graphics when that's what they're looking for. The vast majority of users wanted and appreciate this change. And given the obnoxiously salient thread title, I don't think anyone who's interested in this thread is going to find it too hard to spot. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
