Lets start with some title belts! :)

Here you see my Bobby Williams creation modeling the VW World Title.

For VW World Title I wanted to bring in the wings/laurel leaf design from the ROH title, but not have the VW logo inside of a black circle to make it a complete ripoff job. Instead I found an atom design which I made giant for the faceplate, which harkens back to what ViralPro's old logo was before it merged with Innovation:Wrestling to form ViralWrestling. The sideplates also contain the wings/leaves along with a globe, and flags for America, UK, Austraila, Canada, Japan and Mexico so that we mix-in some of the NWA World Title too. There's even a little bit of the WWE Undisputed Title in there, with the black tip at the top of the faceplate being where the VW logo resides.

I confess that our model this time isn't my own character, but he is non-other than Brent Starr.

 

For VW Spotlight title I wanted to make this mid-card title feel like something special, as it's meant to be a big deal, a spotlight on future main eventers etc. That is why I've gone with the red strap/silver plate combo and a similar shape to the old NWA Television title which Arn Anderson used to carry around - which is also why the sideplates feature horses. The giant atom reminiscent of ViralPro is again featured in the center plate, but it is very much covered-over this time, as VW's logo, the SPOTLIGHT namesake, and red 'hollywood searchlights' take center-stage and create a totally different feel for this belt. Traditionalist and meaningful in it's overall design, but also shows a fresh outlook for the company's roster, like a new era replacing the tradition.

My Sara Williams character models the VW Vixen's Title. I should mention that all these belts and wrestlers shown thus far are beta versions, I don't even know if this is how the titles will appear in the efed once season starts in Jan 2k14.

I have to get Sara's morphing fixed-up. At the moment she's a straight morphing upgrade from WWE13, where I used the 'Mark Henry Outfit' workaround to put a giant UK Flag design over her chest. With that workaround missing, and perhaps the morphing not being perfect, the union jack is now squashed inwards by her boobs. Her t-shirt reads 'Keep Calm And Tap Out', but I'll probably change this as she's not really a submission wrestler.

With the Vixen's title I had a few goals in mind. I didn't want the title to SCREAM Women's title as it's main focal point, this is why the lady whom is laid down is relegated to the left side plates. Similarly I couldn't have every belt in the efed have the atom in the faceplate, that would be too boring and make all the titles look same-y. My main goal with this title was to make sure that it was well known that just because it is our women's title it is most certainly equal to our male's VW World title. So I have a nice earth pattern, which fits the shape of the belt nicely, and actually takes up the centerplate rather than us seeing the edges of the globe itself. Just to re-enforce the level of it's status, the 'world heavyweight champion' logo is the right sideplate. The next thing I realized is that this belt didn't need any flags or color adding to it, it looked great in just gold and black. So I took-out the body from the VW letters, allowing the gold of the belt underneath to come through. I made the flatline heart monitor underneath the letters into a dark grey (not black, as now I can easily change the color to something else and keep using the transparent logo if I want to).

Madi$on models the new Vixens title, replacing the one modeled by Sara Williams yesterday. This new title retains the sideplates of the previous, but it's faceplate is much more simillar to the VW World, bringing in simillar but not the same leaf designs on the outside, and replacing the giant atom with a globe instead. The prevous Vixens title will be re-worked into another title.

Is it just me or is 2K14 suffering from a lack of content being put on CC compared to previous years? In addition I feel like LOADS more people are setting their created caws and logos (for example) as non-reuploadable. So for people like me whom like to mix and match lots of things into an original vision, but aren't neccessarily good in paint tool or with face/body morphing it becomes very hard to make caws.

So I have to say that the CAArena logo resize restriction and the CABelt title match loading freeze glitch sucked a lot of fun out of this game for me right out of the gate. Then my PC/Capture Card blew-up. Chris Lionheart, Eric Reid (Mr International) and NEON are all up on CC but I cannot get pictures for them. If anyone is able to do pictures for me I will be eternally greatful.

Capturing equipment broke, but here's a couple of new photos I have taking using a camera of my HDTV:

Bobby Williams shows off the ViralWrestling World Title (now sporting the new VW logo). Really like how his tights logos follow-on from one leg to the other.

Sara Williams makes her way down to the ring. I was going for a "La Resistance" debut tights design with the left leg, but I'm not sure it came-off as well as it could have. She will be fighting against NEON in her match.

Sara Williams throws NEON about in the ViralWrestling ring.

Sara Williams holds the ViralWrestling Vixens's title high. Poor NEON got her ass whipped.


A few shots of Micheal St. Star taking-on 'Mr International' Eric Reid, who's now going by 'Mr Intensity'. This match takes place in my indy fed 'WorldWideWrestling' arena.

Maybe I'm a bit out of the loop (Nice creations by the way), but did you retire your older characters or something? I noticed in your showcase from last year as well as this year that there's no sign of Chris Lionheart or The Youngbloods. I was thinking of perhaps taking a crack at Lionheart myself sometime.

Correct. After backstage politics/efed drama really shook my own confidence in my writing ability, it was nice to finally work my way back to the top. Lionheart slowly worked his way back from 'the black mark' on his career in May 2006 to finally hold another World Title; TNB's in 2010. It was a short reign, which ended at the end-of-seson Rise To Stardom 2 PPV, where Ryan Blaze beat LH for the TNB World Title, and retired LH.

 

Shawn YB and his wife Shayne YB were always kind-of side characters to Jason and Lucy. Somewhere along the way they went inactive and I never found a reason yet to need to bring them back. Jason had a great run in 2011 when he was roleplayed by Vegas, and captured the Innovation Wrestling World Title (TNB changed it's name). I always thought Jason had deserved it, but I wasn't gonna give two of my guys the strap and LH had already had his moment. I loved what Vegas did with the character and decided that I wouldn't run Jason myself unless I had something that could possibly match the work Vegas had put into him. I used Jason as story-filler in 2012 and 2013 when I was writing-up my indy fed backstories.

 

In addition to IW battling ViralPro in 2012 (eventually merging the two companies together into today's ViralWrestling), I did have a whole ecosystem of indy feds (British Wrestlling Alliance, Cam-Am Wrestling, Pro Wrestling LIVE). Lucy YB would return to her general manager/owner status from waay back in 2005, and would go-on to eventually unite all the different indy feds which I controlled into WWW: World Wide Wrestling. Every month we would run a 'SuperClash' event where VW matches were put alongside indy fed matches, sometimes there were crossover matches with a VW vs Indy wrestler. These gave us the ability to debut characters in one of the indy feds and once they made it to VW, they already had some name value to them. Or if a character was slowing down they could be quietly moved back to the indies at the next SuperClash event without disrupting the rest of the roster etc. It was fun running an almost NWA-style indy territories system for a while, while it lasted. Unfortunately my capture equipment broke, so all Lucy's plans to have WWW be the official feeder fed for VW got put on hold. She sold her third of the ownership in ViralWrestling, and is currently back home in England trying to come-up with a plan to relaunch WWW again.



Would love to see what you come up with for LH or any of my other characters.

It's unfortunate, but this title may never be completed, as I am not good enough at Paint Tool.

This is the WCW British Commonewealth Title which I doctored-up on wwe2k14 and then further edited on my PC for a ''Fall & Rise of WCW'' EWR diary that I am playing at the moment (ewr is a fantasy booking game). Here's how it looks in my diary:

WCW_BRITISHfw_zpse420e120.png

I made it look like a mixture of the WCW US title and the NWA TV title that Arn Anderson used to wear. It will be fought under British Wrestling Rules (so it has 'rounds' and 'knock outs' allowed). It's basically a 2/3 Falls and IronMan title. If I were to ever bring back the 'British Wrestling Alliance' indy fed by splitting it from World Wide Wrestling indy fed, it could be BWA's World Title. But for now that isn't planned, and it's just WWW's British Commonwealth title instead.

Here we see Bobby Williams defending the title against Micheal St. Star in a slightly updated wWw arena:

Doing some work for my friend's Hollywood Ladies Wrestling indy fed.

SURFACEPRO1-WIN_20140603_150209_zpse406e

his first PPV is called Opening Night, so I ran with the idea of theater curtains being open.

SURFACEPRO1-WIN_20140603_150149_zps0e568

here's a better look at the fed logo I designed for him.

SURFACEPRO1-WIN_20140603_154940_zps855bd

 

and I had a bit of fun making a 'heartbreaker' title for him. unfortunately the logo isn't uploadable because the skeletal hands I used from a James Storm caw are non-reuploadable, and I can't draw the hands in that much detail myself.

Goddamit, every year!

If anyone has an old version of Bobby Williams or Billy The Kid Watson, please reupload them to CC servers and let me know.

I messed something up with my xbox live cloud save and their movesets reset to default. I figure any older version of the CAW is better than starting their moveset form scratch, since I don't have their moves written down anywhere.

Also, Sara Williams, NEON and Valeria are now uploaded to CC with updated looks, moves and entrances.

Skinner

I re-did Toxiv's skull mask design and made a new character from it. Currently called 'The Skinner', he's got a denim outfit that looks simillar to a prison jumpsuit but it's blue denim and not orange. he looks like american bad ass undertaker mixed with 2003 half mask kane. his overall look is based on Rick from Splatterhouse. Also going to do an unmasked version too.
