Basho Travels to the Akaviri Stronghold.

A couple of them show off the new recolor I did on the Marcos's Samurai Kimono bottom to match Ronin's Rise of the Samurai armor.
Let me know what you think...
I like this shot a lot - and the re-coloring looks excellent - very classy!

So THIS is where everyone went. Thanks to Floydian1 for providing the link. So does this mean most people have abandoned the old thread? That's unfortunate, if true.

She is too cute for words!!!
Welcome! I was going to PM you soon if you hadn't arrived - I have been missing your incredible shots! I am very glad you made it here.
I still hope a lot of us can take the time to post at the old pic thread too - I know some of us are still doing that. I put a simple link in my sig saying there are
more pictures of OB characters at SpellHold Studios too.

@ Hector (from thread #5(I think)) - IG Hector looks great! Sort of a companion/friend/protectot/father-figure all rolled into one. No wonder those three girls stick with him. ( for the most part it seems) Layla is really missing out.
@ GF1 - I think it;s marvelous that you are going into the toy manufacturing business, but isn't the "PC" term for dollies for males "action figures"? Though I suppose it would depend on just how much action the intended customer intends with the uhm dollies.... BTW, anything in the works for those of the female persuasion that have a preference for the male persuasion? Though my girls really aren't too sure about a blow-up version. I mean, just where would you put the air-intake stem??

gf1: And Layla will come around again to see IG Hector - she is due very shortly from the monastery. I am scrambling to cover my dolly tracks in her bedroom. Gotta go!
P.S. The valve placement can be customed-placed - depending on your girls' inclinations.

The new one is about $440 USD.
It just came out and the larger version is supposed to follow this (the XTX version).
SAPPHIRE 100201SR Radeon HD 2900 XT 512MB 512-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP
I haven't seen how it stacks up against the 8800's, I have yet to read the reviews...
The 2900XT (Note: the best that ATI has to offer) gets completely spanked by the Nvidia 640MB 8800GTS in actual gaming, although it does better in 3dMark, for what that's worth. It draws 100W more peak power than the 8800GTS, too. As the final nail in the coffin, it costs $50-70 more than the 640MB version of the 8800GTS. Basically, ATI has dropped the ball and is no longer a viable choice for high end video cards (especially when you consider that this doesn't take into account that there are two even higher-end options: the 8800GTX and 8800Ultra, and doubtless will be an 8900-series eventually, too).
Linkification for review and benchmarking.
Thanks for the info here. Since I mainly play OB it may still make sense to go with ATI as this black screen issue seems pretty severe. Perhaps it will be straightened out soon? Thanks for your work on that problem too - I will also give that a try.
