Thanks SyfeKs. Those look great!
Sadly, the competition is only open to U.S. Residents, but you've created some excellent examples.
If you have any buds from the USA that you know are SoulCalibur IV fans, be sure to let them know about the contest. The portable DVD player is seriously top of the line.

Regardless of eligibility (sadface) I'm interested to see how your characters hold up against the other submissions.

I'm submitting four characters: Sparrow, The Monk, The Witch and finally The Traveler. My first choice is definitely Sparrow, my second definitely The Monk and third The Witch; there just wasn't the parts to properly assemble The Traveler and none that could do Jackie Chan's immortal even remotely.

Since a lot of the template dimensions don't seem to exist in the game, or seem out of order so I thought I'd just run with the ones that do and add full color listings. So without further ado:

For your direct-link convince, I am making a quick post for the above character recipes, as I didn't realize it wasn't automatically parsing URLs. Apologies.

@BlazingOwnager: why is Jason's hair red?

otherwise interesting creations.
BlazingOwnager
#13 Posted By:  BlazingOwnager on Oct 1 2008 9:21AM

To answer Syfeks: It's medium brown with a slight reddish tone, actually; but since I am taking pictures with a hand cam (no video capture software) the color tends to bleed a massive amount (I tried to color match it to the picture of all 4 cast members standing side by side) and makes it look red; the background chosen seems to impact the lighting a great deal as well. It definitely comes off as much more red here.

My biggest regrets with the characters is there's no way to do a proper long coat for the Traveller and no way to put a blue lining on the monk's outfit without choosing armor that looks much, much further from his actual outfit. There are no good flowing gowns for the Witch, either, but there are enough pieces of "loose clothing" it all flies around in the wind pretty well when she fights.

I think the most amusing thing about this contest is I happened to see the movie not more than two weeks ago and the whole time I was watching it, I couldn't stop thinking of Kilik, Ivy and Taki during the fight scenes and got a total Soul Calibur vibe. I'm honestly surprised there aren't a ton more entries.

I really do think Sparrow turned out the best and by far the closest to her movie counterpart, which is very ironic as when I started I figured she would have turned out the worst. Definitely, I'm the most proud of her.

In regards to Blazing Ownagers comments :

"My biggest regrets with the characters is there's no way to do a proper long coat for the Traveller and no way to put a blue lining on the monk's outfit without choosing armor that looks much, much further from his actual outfit.

Actually there are ways to make a flowing coat/robe/cloak but it does require unlocking of all the armor/clothing items by unlocking all achievements ( hence unlocking all armor/clothes/apparell ) and some downloadable content available online.

I do know some items are console exclusive , so there may be variation .( I have an Xbox 360 ). But the main thing is that it does require alot of creativity and ingenuity to get the characters spot on .

The best of luck to you.

heh the coat/robe cant be combined but you can unlock either one... i have everything unlocked thats on the standard edition of the game...
BlazingOwnager
#18 Posted By:  BlazingOwnager on Oct 2 2008 10:40AM

Basically what KiFireLedius said - I've actually unlocked everything possible and even purchased the DLC.. and you are definitely right, Staffseeker85, there are a number of long and flowing robes - more for women than with men.

The problem is that most of them cannot be combined with other items; one will void the other. Thus in order to make a Witch with any actual kind of "flow" to her outfit, you have to piece together a bunch of smaller items. The problem also exists for the male characters, too.. if you could just combine a couple items, you could get some outstanding results sometimes but sadly it won't let you. :(
