Are you using photoshop or a different program to make the alts?

LOL, I can't even remember. I just typed in 'wyvern' in google image search and that's where I found most of my results.

And one more, my HMW Character Snowfire's wyvern alt:

Well Kemp, I whipped up a few Hydras for you, but I have yet to stumble across a quad-winged Wyvern. If you find an image of one that you'd like me to icon then by all means, send it my way. :grin:

Hydras:

Random Dragons:
Anubis Dragon, Aquatic Dragon, Western Dragon

Fancharacters:
Stormflash (art by Anutiqa), Stormflash (art by moi)

LOTR:
Fell Beast (x3)

(The first Fell is a revamp of the original I did, you might have to refresh the page to see it updated.)

Hehe...with all these dragons I've done there is NO EXCUSE why Maximals should go without, darn it! I sound like a broken record player but I'm just making sure I'm heard.

Sure, here's the source:

Now for a topic change...

For those that missed it, check Phasewing's post on the last page. While a few of them are vaguely amusing, we really don't appreciate some of the jabs in those propaganda sigs (and comments in other posts) in regards to alts we've made, when we're the ones working hard to create them. You want some cool, "non cuddly" alts instead of butterflies, kitties, unicorns, and dolphins?

Then post up some g*ddamn source pics for us to use and do something about it! :MAD:

[/end rant]

Sorry about that. I just don't take kindly to some of these comments when a lot of hard work has gone into all the alt icons me, Phasewing, Mkall, and others have made.

None of my sigs are meant to be a sign of disrespect toward the work that everyone here has done.

They have nothing to do with the quality of the Alts (which IMHO is top-notch), they're purpose is a) to recruit Preds, b) spur some good ol' fashion faction rivalry, c) inject some life into the boards and most importantly d) to make people laugh.

It's all in good fun and not meant to be taken to seriously.

Been there done that back on page 19 or something:

the cockroach:

sample tactics:

multiply - when put into stasis lock transforms into multiple cockroaches and does minor damage to a random amount of bots and/or cons; or when hit by strafe, counters by multiplying and attacking the strafer; could even be a special strafe-like attack

unsquishable - similar to avoid, an attack is dodged

hiss - prevents an enemy from their next action by scaring the crap out of them

skitter - another avoid-type dodge...but creeper

fly - they just shouldn't do that...

plague form - an attack that could damage a foe over time

ok now I'm grossing myself out lol

As an added bonus, with the "unsquishable" tactic noone could tease about being squishy anymore!!

Ok..that will never happen, but its still funny

I believe this to be the case ladies, so please don't feel bad. If anything I should be the one insulted (but I'm not) as I put them in the Maximals in the first place. Instead of feeling insulted, try making your own sigs and get into the fray. :twisted:

Besides, I've yet to decide which alts overlap, and I do have a twisted sense of humour at times.

When you put it like that, it does make me a bit uneasy...

Ummm, I was more or less referring to complaints about the alts..

bird sig set me off a bit, though... I love birds and the bird alts we made to increase air animal population(which failed for V1, but V2 is already promising), I do know that you're doing this for fun, i'm just a bit... defensive.

Anyway...

Hawk, Hyena, Wolf, Badger, Echidna

Secretary bird, Vulture, African wild dog, Polar bear

@ RaphaelPrime: Thanks for all those images! Some of them didn't come out too hot, but these are the ones I could make decent icons out of for ya:

And the Chaos Emperor Dragon from the YGO TCG is one I found on my own...

@ Caelus: I don't think the transmetal vehicles have been icon'd. Unfortunately I'm back in school and I don't have the time to be digging around for the images, so any help in that regard would be appreciated.

Could've sworn I posted these somewhere... Apologies if I did, I'm kinda out of it today. XD

A few zoids I've done, thanks to TS for giving me the images:
Shadowfox, Storm Sworder, and Liger Zero Panzer

Botcon Deathsaurus, unofficial dragon / "gryphon" mode:

Classics Nightscream, for the umpteenth time:

A rough sketch of G1 Windracer

And an icon of one of Mkall's non-game characters, Firespinner, that I whipped up from a cruddy sketch I did the other day...

Wow, looks like people here are very used to make altmode...
After some time in photoshop and got some help from Windracer i managed to do something!
These are the first alts i made so dont expect something really good.

Let me present to you the 3D models i made into altmode pics:

Monster-2 (couldnt find a good name when i made it), a six wheeler car/truck/buggy thingy.

WS-1T's (one of my characters in HMW) own altmode!

Tank-2 (so far unamed "Mammoth tank" like tank).

I got tonnes of other 3D models i made so i will try to find the best ones i made and make them into altmode pics!

Noice alts you got there, but the 30x30's are lacking 2 px borders.

Updated the altmode pics...
Better now?

Good to get that sorted out, i thought they looked a little thin...
And i thought the stroke layer effect would transfer to the resize i made.

Thanks for the correction Phasewing! =D

Windracer, ma'am, you do excellent work. The hydras are definitely awesome (I'm just curious as to what the source images were). Sorry about the four-winged wyvern. It was an idea that I had gotten off of a Yu-Gi-Oh! card (Dark Blaze Dragon).

I'm sorry that I didn't respond sooner. Ma'am, keep up the great work. :grin:
