Another year another game and yet another showcase. I ended up just dragging my feet when it came to 2010. So much by the time I started posting CAWs for a showcase everyone was more then done with the game. Hopefully this year I'll try more harder to keep up with this showcase. Last year I had a theme for all of my CAWs that I plan on continuing for this one. The theme was based around the "Death" of Uni-Man and how it's effects impacted each of my characters in the world the story takes place. But like I said before I ended wasting to much time and didn't finish the showcase. Unfortunately THQ removed more items from the CAW mode causing it to be nearly impossible to make my main CAW Corona. So he'll not be making the cut anytime soon. But with some of the things that returned for SVR2011 so now some of the characters I wanted to make can be made. With that I'd like to welcome back a returning CAW who had been missing since 09.

LOL! The Bag Guy outfits are awesome. The logo work is pretty darn good on him! I'm assuming you used the PT for most of those, especially the 3rd attire. Looking forward to more once you get around to it.

Thanks for the comment.
And no they are all made using normal designs, because Me + PT = complete failure at it. lol! For the 3rd outfit I didn't really know what I wanted and was going to settle with just plain text. But after an hour of trying to mess with PT and then a few more hours messing with different designs I managed to come up with that final logo.

I had forgotten that you could turn designs at angles such as that in the newer games instead of just the normal 4 we have gotten over the years. lol I guess that's why I assumed it was a PT design. I definitely feel ya on the whole "sucking at PT" thing. That damn thing is a pain in the ass to use. It needs more options, like a built in Photoshop or something. Then, I would have to learn PS to use it. XD Wouldn't really work out for me either way, but at least there would be more options.

(edits/deletes so he's not double posting.) Yeah it's definitely nice having more control when it comes to the old designs. And when it comes down to the PT itself I find it as I'm sure other people have hard to use do to it's use of the thumb sticks as controls. *has the case of "the dumb thumbs"* Now if THQ had an application online were you can make your own art offline and upload it to a site and they give you a code to download it in game. Kinda like what Lionhead Studios did with their Villager Maker for Fable 3. I think it'd be a nice thing for the more "artistically challenged" of us to have something like that. lol
Anyway onto the second entry for this showcase. The idea for this CAW was based around making a female counterpart for a existing male character. This would have been the case for Uni-Man having a sidekick but since limitations doing him in the honor now goes to BagGuy Joe. I finished her attires and still need to complete her movesets and entrance. But I'd like to ask you guys for some ideas. I'm not sure if I like her name at the moment, so I'd like to know if any of you like her name or if you don't. If you don't please if you could give me some ideas of any J names. BagGirl Jlil

Don't worry about double posting. I have a code that merges any multiple posts together automatically. She looks great as his sidekick, especially in those skirts. The 4th attire is my fave, but they all are well done. As for a name? Hmmmmm...... Jane Julie Juliette Jules Jen Jenny Jennifer Jasmine Jamie Jade Jan Janice June Josie Josephine Figured I'd at least try to give a few options. lol Hope they help!

Thanks for the name ideas Showtime, it's very much appreciated. At one point I was going to use Josie or Josephine because I thought it'd be funny having them both go under Joe/Jo. But then I second guessed myself because I thought having both go by Joe/Jo would be weird.
