JonnyPyro Posted December 1, 2012 Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 Well... not willingly. I had my PS3 repaired at a local shop 4 months ago, and it just broke again. Can't afford to throw more money into a fatty, and can't afford to buy a new one so I traded everything in and joined all of my local friends in 360 land. No fanboyism, but I loved my PS3, and this 360 is growing on me a little bit. WWE 13 is way better on 360 as well... (but Borderlands 2 360 is a floaty mess compared to the PS3 precision...)ANYWAYS....Here's a CAW that I've been making since SDvR 2006, my main diva CAW. I'm really putting forth an effort this year to standardize my CAWs so I can start making more, but each one I view as a fully fleshed character and concept. And, being a graphic designer, they get a hefty dose of art, which takes time in creating them. I hand draw them with my tablet in Photoshop, vector them in Illustrator, then paste them back into Photoshop to do pixel by pixel re-creation with the line tool within the game. Simpler logos take less than 30 minutes, like Crymson's kick pads... more complex logos like Scott Epic's St. Louis Cardinal take like 2 hours. Oh well, I love the custom and realistic look. All logos are created in 256 blocks, then ported to 128s. Now, for the collage: She's very Evan Bourne inspired. Took me a while to fully flesh her out, with the kick pads actually being the biggest sticking point of what to do. The top I didn't draw and vector, I just winged it off of some Serena Deeb pictures, thinking of something that would match her tights.She will have a full formula soon. Here's her theme music: Halestorm - Love Bites (but so do I)She is uploaded on Live with a preliminary moveset, 3 attires, and there is also an Entrance Video available.

SardonicScribe Posted December 1, 2012 Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 Gotta say I really really like her. I may have to dl this for my second brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyPyro Posted December 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 She'll probably have a CAM to download in the future, just don't have time for it today. Need to work on 2 big web projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
16BitJay Posted December 1, 2012 Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 I find move-sets a blessing and a curse, great we have more moves to pick, but I find them boring as hell to assemble these days lol. From what I can see I think she looks good, I'd like to see the wings logo a little clearer though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyPyro Posted December 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 Yeah, the wings are a casualty of the 256 to 128 pixel drop. The 256 version looks great... As for people downloading her... Please, feel free to design an alternate attire for her. She's pretty much the red theme, as her name implies... I'm perfectly fine with some Lita like clothing or something like that for her. Hell, if I like it enough, show me what you did, and I'll add it to her 4th attire or replace the white with it. I think her red attire is my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
16BitJay Posted December 1, 2012 Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 The size of it looks like it might fit across 2 x 128 PTs instead of resizing it. Might be a bit annoying to line up, but it would save the quality. I had to do the same on one CAW last year for different reasons, but it turned out well.

JonnyPyro Posted December 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 Yeah, I had the paint tools dump on Crymson so many times that I'm not bothering lol. thats why I haven't bothered to try to color correct the red on the white boob attire. I may scrap that color all together and just do two alternate attires before she heads to PWN... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impthony Peachtano Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 YES YES YES YES!!! Best news all day! Always love it when a PS3 creator jumps ship. Always enjoyed your work since like 2006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyPyro Posted December 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 Well, jump was a little forced but thank you. Hopefully Scott Epic will be up in a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Will. Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 Love it, dude. Consider her downloaded when I jump on the 360 again. And props to going all out on PTs. I should really invest in some patience, because my own CAW is missing my tattoos. And it's just annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SardonicScribe Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 So I got her and I love her. In her first match in my Universe she teamed up with my caw (and champion of my red brand) Quinn LaCosta and had a crazy match against two of my other caws. Crymson and Quinn won by DQ after a ref bump Really dig her. She fits in nicely with my caws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xx--ZX--xX Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 Great to see you on 360 land Welcome aboard, I've been a fan of your work for years man. Great to see you're still cranking stuff out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judas priest superstar Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 downloaded her last night, she debuted in a 6 man tag and got the win. great CAW, love the PT and the body morphs. do you have any more divas in the works or is it a one-shot deal?

JonnyPyro Posted December 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 Lacey Cadavre and Elizabeth Knight for certain. You can see their last years models in my 12 PS3 topic. Probably revamp Kelly Monarch and may revamp Dayna Mariano. Need ideas on Dayna to evolve her though. She used to be very Melina influenced, fancies herself royalty. I'm also open to idea suggestions or inspiration to think of something new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Will. Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 To be honest, it sounds kinda silly, but I get inspiration from the callnames in the game, sometimes. Like an original CAW, Charlotte Jones was because I had a CAW loosely based off my girlfriend--I know, weird. But I had no attire for her. Found the call name, found PT of a 'Jones' kickpad and went from there. Then I found an awesome 'Chicago' script PT, and decided she'd be from Chicago. My girlfriend's favourite comic character is The Punisher, so of course this CAW had to have a Punisher-inspired attire. Maybe Lovecraft-inspired? I know Lovecraft is a call name in the game. And if I had any PT talents, I'd be trying to recreate a PT I requested from WWE '12 for my dude. It was an awesome Cthulhu PT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That paint tool is very nice, and I don't find it silly at all that you use call names or people you know. Most of my CAWs have someone they are based on from either work or school whether it is something about their appearance or personality, and I just add a twist or 2 and roll with it. Works well for me most of the time lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyPyro Posted December 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 I did create a Cassidy Lovecraft last year to be beat up on based on the call-names. Maybe I can make her this year and flesh her out. I did set her up as Puerto Rican, so maybe I can use Sofia from the League as a facial reference. Throw in some Rosa and Primo&Epic flavor....

JonnyPyro Posted December 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 An Update to Crymson... The attire with the modified t-shirt was inspired by a 4th attire done by CASith1372. An updated Crymson is now on the CC with an updated moveset, and 2 new attires. The White attire has been scrapped. Also uploaded is the guy I'm gonna post in a few minutes here as soon as I start cutting out these pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnyPyro Posted December 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 And, here's Scott Epic, transferred to 360 and uploaded. EPIC is his keyword. I simplified his Paint tools from the PS3... really got tired of the "Too Many Paint Tools" glitch, that I got with him when doing his St. Louis attire, and twice with Crymson.

JonnyPyro Posted December 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 He's real fun to play as too. I'm torn for my next project. On one hand, I have Jonny Pyro's frame built up and some artwork in PSD format to plug in... On the other I have a new diva idea. Any opinions?

The 1 Man Horror Movie Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Pyro... MUST HAVE PYRO!!! No seriously, my game is lacking in the "outside main eventer" category. Pyro would slide nicely into my universe seeing as Brent Starr just got turned on by his stable. A $ellout$ reunion would be amazing. Not to mention I have a "Pyro" tribute caw that pays tribute to him, and would make for some dream matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
