Thanks for another project @Goddess Laucianna ------------------> Laucianna Inspired - I just fulfilled a request Artwork is Laucianna's, she requested the zone backgrounds and I just recorded. Easy enough.

@biostem I gave it another attempt. I needed to figure how to accomplish this gif and avoid the gillion errors. This round I managed to figure that out. A different glow was used so its a bit brighter this time. I didn't brighten the toon as much tried to leave more of his preexisting tint while still being able to see him better. The background was also lightened slightly. Toon scale slightly lowered to fit nearly his whole outline in frame. His eyes and tree are 100% on the same track, but the eyes at times seem off to me I think cause how the glow is appearing on the different shades of his eyes/face. I fiddled with it for a while, but need to learn a bit more before I can make it look even more sleek. ------------------>

Hot damn thats dedication 0.o Great job

Strongest Hybrid Widow I've built yet: #2 the Magenta Scrapper v2 x lv 45+ Hybrid Fortunata Claws/Psi Build x Aid Self x Both Aim + Follow-up x use of Red Inspiration Macros/keybinds to play like a scrapper This is my first tour feeling truly scrapper-like being able to keep my damage boosted using red inspiration combination macros. With ageless covers end issues, aid self for health bar, stacked defenses and controls to counter damage. I never felt so equipped to smash Reds before. Red Inspiration Combo Macros & Keybinds: Fortunata defenses are two tiered, straight out defense on one, and control on the other. Since we Forts don't have the physical aptitude (small HP pool) to stand still and withstand damage we must employ our abilities to control. v2 leans strongly into these strengths; Defense: using Nerve Alpha before Mind Link: Melee 56.15%, Ranged 47.21%, AoE 45.96% with Mind Link: Melee 73.42%, Ranged 64.48%, AoE 63.23% enough defense to withstand some -Def debuffs Controls: using Nerve Alpha Dominate - single target hold 33.42 sec with chance for hold proc Follow-up - hold proc Electrifying Fences - AoE immobilize 38.2 sec (easily imo AVs) with chance for hold and chance for +HP Ball Lightning - AoE knockdown proc and chance for +HP Psionic Tornado - AoE chance for knockdown -30% recharge debuff and chance for +recharge proc Aura of Confusion - AoE confuse duration 61.5 sec pseudo-nuke Psychic Wail - AoE disorient, -70% recharge debuff, nuke Strike/Lunge - ST - 20%/30% recharge debuff, -20%/30% movement debuff if counting: Judgement Void: -50% damage debuff, nuke Equipping yourself with this arsenal tips the scales of incoming and outgoing damage favorably to the Widows side. Solo, nerve alpha is recommended to push defensive play, and muscular for +dmg and teams. My personal locker has both stocked but primarily running Nerve Alpha to compliment both defense numbers and control duration; the better position of our HP bar the more we keep slicing damage. Round out the edges using Void Judgement for the -50% dmg debuff. To be extra use Hybrid Melee +res, between it and void you've got a layer of on demand resistance. I'll mostly run Assault unless I want to dare-to-not-care in hard hitting mobs like arachnos crabs and banes, but we v2s fair superior without it. v2 swapped out Mace Master for Mu Mastery, and picked up aid self. To fit everything this arsenal could hope for a travel power was dropped. Aim could be replaced but the extra on demand damage boost is as good as freshly baked bread (loaf in the oven now, i know) Code _____________________________________________ Updated Other page 6 builds and/or added 2nd build option with Aid Self. Added more build details.

I noticed yours and really liked it. I want to figure out how to do that moving outline along your wings and bands. Have any tips? Thank you much 🙂

@biostem lets see if we're closer to the mark with these: ---------------> ------------------> (close background) (wide background) (attempt to smooth-out the gif restarting) My computer is hating something I'm doing while working on this gif. I've had to restart computer multiple times and given errors when trying to save before restarting... I apologize if its not 100% synced in the effects I have to post what i have at the moment and try to sync again... these restarts erRRRrrmmm lol.

🤣 I've hardly read any comics but this scene peaks my curiosity.

@biostem Nothing else came to mind between yesterday and now so let me know if you'd like to see any changes (i.e. can add some flickering to the body, eyes, or tree lighting/auras). On the note of file size, I think I must of been really tired last when I was finishing yours cause the file size is fine... idk what I read last night X.x Anyway ended up making speed adjustments before realizing this lol so you have a few slight speed variations. ----> ----> ---->

Now that you're using the first one. Me too. Let me know if you envision a change or two.

@biostem oh dang I forgot to check gif file sizes on some before I finished so its not going to let you use that one if you were going to - will update

Here is where I'm sitting atm after a few background switches, and debating aura effects on him too I just hesitate to over use them in gifs >.< ---------------------------------> @biostem -----------------------------------------> (speed variations) --------------------------> @biostem --------------------------------> / slow fast ---------------> / ------------------> Less busy background as requested - also recorded out of CoH - Eden (Id call this at 98% done - my computer is fighting me while trying to work on this gif) ----------------------> @biostem Took a few minutes to fix this guy where I could without restarting. The background reset was jarring. So I copied the background and reversed it to keep the trees flowing, and without notice to anything weird going on in the water. At least not to my poor eyes. To keep the file size small enough I had to speed it up. --------------------------> (another attempt to iron it out )

@Mr. Apocalypse Ok fixed the masking issue over the shoulder. Asked prematurely so now I'll ask again >.< What do you think? ---------------------------------------------------> If i get a chance I want to try to sync the background better like the first fire tornado version.

Thanks for continuing to visit the thread its nice to have the input. You definitely caught me in my laziness - build details. Its on my list to add more build details in the OP. The Exempt build is very capable of 50+ although not to the degree of a specialized 50+build, and with just a few enhancement changes the build could lean more into that area; the Exempt Widow can run as a main build. I run 3 builds just cause I love the Widow, but played mainly with 1 build and it was much closer to the Exempt Widow in stats than my incarnate builds. The boosters aren't required, really only to squeeze every last little bit of performance. Its one of the last options to boost a build. Since I invest a lot of attention into my Widow, I boost, and my build post is reflecting what I'm currently running. I can make note of all this in op as well. I went ahead and put together an Orange build but the ATO's are purple cause you just buy orange ATOs and use catalyst. Although I've played the Widow enough to assume the builds effectiveness. I've not played an Orange enhancement based exempt build before, and would like to take it for a test run. I'm saddened to find PvPbot offline and not able to import build into test server so it'll be a little bit. ... SeraphimKensai covered the reasoning behind the worth of purples well: I'll return with that budget build.

Letting it stew for a few minutes. Is there a specific class/powerset associated with the pic?

Thanks for the request. Here's what I pulled together. As you can see from the forum I'll most likely go back and improve as I can --------------------------- @Mr. Apocalypse -----------------------> --------- > -------------------------- @Mr. Apocalypse -------------- > #2 brought out color in dude a bit more Wanted longer nado animato but it lags out gif (current state) (damn didnt notice the subtle eye glow is out of sync now will fix that asap) ----------------> ----------------------------------------------------> Noooope see the masking error over the right shoulder... one more time lol... #3 synced eye glow (other small edits) I want to find a better background. I just recorded that one from a street in CoV. Also try to soften the edges to the flames around his head. The glowing eyes, yes or no? Any thoughts?

Thanks for the chance to learn something new. It was a really fun & funny idea 😄

@Trike So I kept to the challenge and used your pic again... I kept the tires and front peddles this time... almost wish I hadn't but wanted it to look as much as possible like original model. Currently stumped by the trike always blurs when the sequence is playing unlike other pics I've messed with : paused action If anyone sees this and knows I'd appreciate any tips ^.^ --------------------------> light/dark ---- > Little extra zoom action

I had to upgrade your trike wheels - also had to cut the editing session short... friend... airport.. enough said. Thanks for the odd request really got my gears greased: I want to brighten it for sure and Ill try to get the wheelie in if I can ^.^ ... and try to add more of the back side red bar back into the pic -------------------------------- @Trike ------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------> @Trike maybe not a Hollywood Blockbuster however we covered it rolling in, shooting lasers, and the wheelie. Thoughts? ... the trike needs to come down at the end a little bit Im thinking its tough making the tilt look natural. I have an idea think Ill give it a try later. ---------------------------> -------------------> / (attempt #2) (attempt#3) / little zoom action mid clip

Lolol! Oh man I'll see what I can learn 😂😂

(I know you're already using yours - just documenting ❤️ ) ------------------------------------- @Goddess Laucianna ------------------------------------------------- slight color change -----------------> Laucianna Part 2: Had a return visitor. Here was the outcome:

Had tougher time making this one look nice >.< --------------------------------------- @kwsapphire -----------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------- @Nando ----------------------------------------------- Woke up with Nando on the mind - needed to try some adjustments:

------------------------- @Fire Chief ---------------------------------

I'm a newb to editing beyond record and post - only dabbled a few times over the years. Spent some time today grabbing CoH player avatars to practice a bit. Going to post in the following comments each before and after. If you have an avatar that I may want to practice on go ahead and post it. If the end result comes out decent - feel free to use it. Thanks in advance for the inspiration
