The new cloak is just something I threw together because I found that my old designs were ridiculously detailed. There were some merits, but then there were a fair useless things I slapped on them.

To be honest I'm completely torn between the two. I can't help but to think of Marth from Super Smash Brother's Brawl when i look at Zhymarx in his version of the robe, makes me feel as if it's not original even though it completely is. If we do go with these robes though, I'll more than likely just have Jynx not wear his at all seeing as he's more of a rogue character in the first place. I will still however, have him wear a Sora like hoodie just because I love Jynx hooded up if you guys don't mind that.

Don't fret PA. those are just variations of how to wear them, in the pic, you'll notice Zaverxi actually wears his in the traditional manner. I just liked they way Zhymarx wore it and made it a highglight of the pic Sorry if you misunderstood that there.

However, if you think it lacks more enigma, here are a few more variations I came up with in light of the issue.



Here be the second variation, with minimal differences to the first one up there. Rather than the symbol to the side of the chest, I placed it here completely in front. There are further details in the back. The left-most picture is once again simply showing a possible inner uniform to go with it, because as far as I know the traditional Org. coat doesn't have an undershirt of sorts 0_o



And fially for this variation, I made the top look a bit priest like, giving the illusion that the coat is split into two when it is actually one coat altogether. For this one I also brought back the necklace thing.

Hope this fills your want for an enigmatic look, as it certainly fulfills my want for a simpler design.

Now those are sprites I can get behind. The first of the two variations is my favorite. The enigmatic look has been satisfied. I'm still going to probably have Jynx wearing it unzipped and open but with the hood still over his head and I'll probably have it ripped in the middle so it's more of a hoodie rather than a cloak. It would fit his character a little better plus I like Sora's look a little bit.

edit:

so yeah, was bored, made this.

i think i'm gonna be doing a series of animations with DrB's sprites.

and guys, i'm about to get hit with a hurricane, so if you could keep me in your thoughts, i'd appreciate it.

here's two more:




i didn't put toxit in the first one, he made it look too weird

There are several definite changes that need to occur.
I mean I realize that everyone has their own priorities but even so it hasn't been this dead in a while (I'm including the summer months as well)

I along with several others have been discussing a way to turn things around for the better, when they are fully panned out we will let everyone know and ask for you opinions on the matter.
For now it's just an idea though.

Come on guys let's get some stuff done.

I posted the last half of the Jynx fight somewhere on here but I can't find it and it's not on my computer because I had to reformat it not too long ago, but I assure you all that it will be finished by Friday at the latest.

Figure if things are going to get done, I should at least make the first step and assuring that they do.
Now with that being said, to all of those who say they're waiting for others to post their Organization XIII fights
to get things rolling, all that is is an excuse.

Why not start on the next part of your characters story. Do some drafting, you could even fill in the blind spots that aren't widely known as just a way to tie things together. You could even work on a future storyline that is already in the Exiled story.

On a serious note though Yoyo you need to get your story done; from my understanding you haven't even started it yet and yet you complained to us several times about shit not getting done.

Deadlines must be met and the story must get done.
AP, Knightflare, Ojike, and I should get together soon on YIM, DA or whatever and discuss the future of the Exiled manga. Set roles to each person and have set dates to which things get done and if things don't get done there will be consequences. That goes for myself as well.

In fact it should be the same way for the writing parts. If you don't finish your story by the set deadline then there will be consequences in some form or fashion.

That's all I wanted to get out at the moment, feel free to leave comments on how you feel and if things should adjust a little. IF you have other ideas post them as well.
I just would hate to see this project that we've been working on for nearly 3 years BURN to HELL for seemingly no reason at all.

But anywho,



Looking back at the first 3 uniform designs, I found they were rather...over-accessorized. Not in a KH way but in a generally bad way. Months later, last night actually, after being inspired by DrBanxon's Calx RPG, I came up with this new, simple design. This is the male variant, and Zhymarx, Zaverxi, Rextanse and X have kindly volunteered to demonstrate the many variations of the design. If the reception is good, I'll post the female variations.

It can still be closed by a zipper, but I was just too lazy to draw it. The buckle replaces the necklace. And also take note of the Nobody and cross symbols denoting they are of Exiled origin. Also there is a possibility this uniform will be black or even another type of color (but no Power Ranger color-coding, kthnx.) But let's just see for now how they'll turn out.

REXTANSE IS THE SMEX >>;

I assigned captions for this.

Zhymarx: I feel so pretty! ^___^
Zaverxi: Ok, I'm wearing it, now give me my damn cookie.
Rextanse: Too sexy for my robe, to sexy for my robe, too sexy....
X: Hey, wow. Part of my face is actually visible! I HAVE A FACE.

gotta say, I agree with PA on this one.

Guys, we seriously have to do something. I've been here for a year, and I would hate to see this thing crash as well.

we've all worked to hard and for too long to give up now. I know I've spen many hours working on the Exiled, whether it be my website, a story, or even those sprites.

I don't know how we're going to punish people for not meeting deadlines, however. It just seems there's not much we can do short of kicking that particular individual out.

anyways, we need to get started. What's the next part of the story that we need to do?

and lol at NI totally missing PA's post.

[Mastermind]

I don't agree with the whole "waiting on people to finish their fight" part. If I were to continue and produce a few more scenes, whilst another person is still stuck on that first fight, then I'd be a bit ticked off.

Perhaps we could take away one's privileges? Such as...
-No say in a certain Arc as far as their character is concerned
-Said character is taken out of said Arc
-Someone/Collective will write their part of the story the way they want, which includes making your character look extremely weak. (I could personally see Banxon getting a kick out of writing someone else's chapter)
-You get written out of the Exiled during the chapter in which you fail to write, however it is up to the creator to decide how.
-Kicking someone out would be the absolutely last straw. Although the less personalities we have here the easier it will be to write. In a way we'd be both losing and gaining.
For special circumstances we can make certain exceptions.

Do your character's next story. Whatever happens to your character after their respected Organization XIII battle is what you should start on. IF you'd rather skip ahead then feel free to do that. As long as you work on a part that's cannon to the actual story. If a certain aspect of your story involves other characters then contact them via: PM, email, YIM, MSN, AIM or Meebo.

Think about that for a sec neither Yoyo or Banxon have even started on their fights yet and if memory serves me correctly no one's bothered to start on the huge battle against Banxon's heartless. I'm not safe either considering I have to finish the Jynx vs Xemnas final scene, however at least I've finished 2/3 of it. My deadline is this Friday and if it's not finished I will gladly accept the consequences.
At least this way if you have to wait for others to finish you're just not sitting around complaining that nothings getting done. The way I see it at least shit is getting done, no matter how small a part in the story, it's one less thing we have to worry about.
You don't have to follow through with it it's just a suggestion that makes things run a little better.

so are you saying you don't think we should try to move on?

I'm all for moving forward. However, if it ends up being 2-4 people writing the story when it's supposed to be a group effort, then I find something wrong with that.

Also, you run into the problem with some people not thinking their work is good (I would be included in that group). This leads to said people procrastinating their assignments or withholding their stories from the others. That, however, is a minor, if not nonexistent, problem.

In that case it would be handled in the form of a group meeting. We all come together as a sort of council and decide what should be done. If need be those 2 - 4 people who are actually doing what they're supposed to collaberate together and write things out, but of course things would be a lot more lenient because there's less people and more time would need to be given.
In all honesty it's been like that before only 2 - 4 people did what they were supposed to while most everyone else asked questions but never did anything contributory.

If everyone is in agreement and you don't follow the guidelines then you will lose your right to complain and if fail to get things done then you'll be given the same consequences as everyone else.

The same goes for me and anyone else who doesn't do what they're supposed to be doing.

Plain and Simple shit needs to get done and if a harsher policy is what's need then so be it, if everyone feels the same rules should be enforced that is.

Also, you run into the problem with some people not thinking their work is good (I would be included in that group). This leads to said people procrastinating their assignments or withholding their stories from the others. That, however, is a minor, if not nonexistent, problem.

Which is why we could sequel a meeting to discuss one's story as they are submitted, but that's only if someone has a problem with their quality of work. If not then it's a mute point.

In the past, it was 2-4 people because those 2-4 people either elected themselves or were chosen because of their literary talent. However, earlier in the year we decided to break it down and make it a more group-oriented writing project. This new idea debuted in the for of the Org. fights.

Which we will still have, however if things take a turn for the worst sacrifices will have to be made in which case we more than likely won't have a choice. I mean if you're not serious about the Exiled anymore then there's the door walk on through it (I'm not talking about you I'm just using "you" as a statement for everyone)
This is a group effort, but things need to be handled professionally. We've all grown from immature to mature and we should handle the Exiled as a mature subject. Most of us have put so much effort into this place that it's no longer just something for fun, it's serious business now.

If you have your own ideas about how things should be handled let them be heard loud and clear.
