Improving it - ALL of it.
|
Eventually, it grew during the month of May. I started to go on the internet, learning more and more techniques for drawing on different programs. Although I initially had another Paint image for my Elephante - I cancelled it though, and made my next few Elephante images on Paint Shop Pro 7 and Photoshop CS2. The improvement between my First Generation images and my Second Generation images are fairly noticeable. Of course, re-drawing my Elephante evilly started to get repetitive, and I eventually...couldn't draw him more evil. Most of all...it started to get boring. Although, in the process of making all of these images, I've gained quite a few skills for the two programs. But then I moved on, to Generation Three! ;D

Story: It still wasn't the end. The radioactive wastes had more effects. Neopians were still in hiding. Blood Killer X's colour changed from Red, to Spotted. But, instead of regular spots, he had angry shadow-like faces of DEATH. This caused his skin to get all gray-ish. The transformation wasn't complete, so his skin was a raw gray/almost red-like colour if you know what I mean. Blood Killer X still wanted to get his revenge, and shouted in the air with a bloodlust voice, "BATTLE THEM ALL!". It was heard throughout Neopia Central, and in fact, most of the northern continent of Neopia. The radioactive waste was a plan Sloth had in fact, he knew the neopians were going to steal it. Sloth had the ability to control Blood Killer X at his very own will. Sloth made Blood Killer X a lab, where he could find some weapons. Blood Killer X had taken a Fire Sloth Sword of Death, along with a Living Ghostkerchief Bomb, with REAL talking actions! Blood Killer X went into a field of Neopia Central, and planted some of Sloth's "special" flowers. Sloth also made some very angry clouds. Blood Killer X, still under control of Sloth, approached his first target...

Author's Notes: I used Paint Shop Pro 7, a very ancient program, (But far superior to Paint.) for this image. I used a lot of different and unique textures and effects in this picture. It's MUCH more detailed than the last picture. I tried my best to maximize what I could do with the program, and I can truely say to myself, that I had done well. This is also my first drawn image. I first drew the image, scanned it, then used a program to "juice up" the picture. I didn't have an outline though. This was a very successful image, earning me over 75 votes, along with a silver trophy. But what matters is that I did my best. :)

Story: Blood Killer X's first "target", was the Bank. Located in Neopia Central, this area had a very large population, as well as neopoints! Blood Killer X quickly smashed one of the walls into the bank. Neopians around him quickly fled the area. Blood Killer X was very successful, he had taken most of the bank's neopoints. Neopia Central was now deserted, everyone had moved to Meridell or Brightvale. Some even purchased a house in Kiko Lake to be away from this Elephante. You can't really blame them though. :P Blood Killer X was still under Sloth's control. He was unable to shake off it. His skin turned a nice brown colour, and his tail transformed into an odd curving shape. Blood Killer X was using a special blue/green whip with spikes to smash the bank, along with his trusty Fire Sloth Sword of Death. Sloth commanded Blood Killer X to get one more target in Neopia Central. Blood Killer X readied himself, and flew to his next target.

Author's Notes: Another interesting picture, made with Paint Shop Pro 7. This time, I made his skin more brown, to make it clearer that he's the Spotted colour, while still remaining his "scary" look. His tail was remade as well, with a nice sleek look. His "feet", were remade too. An energy discharge of electricity seems to block his feet this time, because I wasn't good at drawing it, but in future releases, he's going to be wearing boots, or possibly cleaths (I can't spell that correctly, you know, the shoes with those spikes). I made his teeth tinted green, to show that...he never brushes, plus it adds more to his look. Balls of death glow in his eyes as well, plus his trunk looks an odd colour. This was done to show that his trunk was using an insane amount of energy, as well as he was getting mutated from the effects of the radioactive waste from earlier. His tail emits a glow, to show that it will zap anything it goes into contact with. I've added a different look to the smoke that he shoots out. The grass is also red, to add the atmosphere to the area. The walls were exetremely hard to outline and colour. Another very detailed image, I also spent more time carefully colouring it. I consider it a bit better than my previous image. Let's see if he can grab me the first spot in species. I bet he will, no offense to anyone in this species category, but I have a great image this weeek, and my main "opponent", is gold-banned. Wish me luck, vote for my pet, and send me neomails on what you think could be improved, or how you feel about my image! Thanks! :D
EDIT: It appeared he won second place. Ah well, it was fun to do anyways, there's my second silver trophy. :)

Story: Blood Killer X's next mission, was to cause havoc in the Battledome. Of course, everyone had now deserted Neopia Central, and headed for other close regions, such as Meridell, Brightvale, or Kiko Lake. However, there was one Battledome opponent who was always there. Punchbag Bob. Blood Killer X unleashed a volley of attacks at Bob, shredding him to pieces. Punchbag Bob called for help, and Punchbag Sid was then summoned. However, Blood Killer X did the same thing to Sid, shredding him. Blood Killer X's tail dealt out a large green blast! His right hand summoned red energy to finish the job. Blood Killer X's left hand carried a modified pickaxe that had extra spikes on it. It let out some smoke. Pieces from Punchbag Bob and Sid blasted all over the Battledome.

Author's Notes: I used Photoshop CS2 for this image, which is why the image's colour look so "clean", compared to other images. I did the cuts and bruises on his body easier as well. I made his eyes unleash a bit of light, too. I added some cartoonish "words", (You know what I mean.). I did some highlighting and shading on the arena easily using Photoshop. This image was a lot easier. I learned how to use layers, and the colouring was so easy! This image was just the usual routine. I sketched with a pencil, outlined it on a computer, coloured it, highlighted and shaded it, and finally added some special effects. Although that sounded like a long process, it really isn't. But my real trouble, is how I'm going to improve my pet in next week's contest (Assuming I'm not banned from recieving gold). I have near top tools, the only thing I can improve is my outline, and of course the atanomy. He didn't place. X.X
|
Ah - The current generation. I turned my pet into a Kacheek afterwards, for Battledome purposes. See, Kacheeks can use a special weapon in the Battledome. I won't bore you with the boring details, though. I've learned many new unique tricks, and still am! I learned a new colouring technique, new eye technique, new everything! I've learned how to shade better, and things are REALLY getting good! Currently, I work on my Kacheek!
|
Story: A few weeks have passed, Killer has now made many new friends. Right now, he's telling a ghost story to his friends at midnight. He has a blue flashlight over his face, and of course, no ghost story could be complete without a fake mustache!
|
Author's Notes: A basic image, not many effects, but the flashlight's light was fun to create. I shaded before adding the light effect, so it looks somewhat odd. I'm trying not to create any more angry pictures, but it's so hard to resist the temptation. My art is unique, that's really all I can say.
|
|
Story: After the ghost story, he was contacted via neomail. He was asked to create the most unique and artistic outfit and pose at the Beauty Contest. Of course; he couldn't refuse the deal. He got himself parachute pants, sneakers, a sports jersey, some metal, a magical staff once held by a great magician known as Mr. InSaNe, a Rainbow Gun, a Blechy Hat, a mullet hairstyle, with bangs (of course!), and a cape, once held by his personal hero, Dead Meat X. He was a combination of a athlete, robot, magician, gangster, hippie, and a hero. He won, yet again, another second place. He's defiantly going to try again though.
|
Author's Notes: Possibly one of my greatest works. I just started off with a computerized sketch, rather than a pencil and paper sketch, and started from there. I outlined using the pen tool of Photoshop. I learned a new colouring style as well. Posing his gun was hard, and I expect for many people to not understand what it is. I also messed up his sneakers a little. The cape could've been done better if it was flowing in the wind, but nah. I used a flame shading style, because the light source is flames coming from his magical staff. I also carefully did his eyes, using a tutorial from a little art site (Deviant). I don't know why, but his eyes, and just his face, uncoloured, looked like the character "Rock Lee," from the show, "Naruto." I basically went crazy with this image. Around fifty layers were used. This can be technically, my first non-angry BC entry. He still has a sinister look on his face, but his eyes make him look cute. ^.^ He won second place again. *Sigh* This page'll be updated with his next entry...which I think you'll REALLY like.
Finished: Saturday, August 11, 2007
Update (August 18): He won second place! ^.^! (He was away from first by two votes, and was one vote away from being third, I must thank all who have voted for him. I'm sure another week I'll make first, with determination, ANYTHING is possible!)

Story: After winning second place in the Beauty Contest, Killer decided to TRY AGAIN! But this time...he's using a different style. Rather than just trying to cram multiple styles at once, he's going for the "Sneaky, But Angry," look. He managed to buy a Super Blechy Hat, a Blechy Hat that had upper teeth AND lower teeth, unlike the regular Blechy Hat. He got himself a boot, and worked some metal designs onto it. He look his old shoes (Can you guess what shoes they are?! :P), and smelted metal onto them. He took some track pants, put some more metal onto it, and put ALL of his previous Beauty Contest medals onto it. He took his boring old cape, and dumped it into a sewer. He got himself a new cape, a grey fearful cape. He got a leather jacket, and a grey t-shirt. He carefully leaked acids onto one side of his jacket, to give it a glowing look. Then, he asked a magician, to help him cast a shadow-look on the other side of the jacket. Killer put a large, but powerful battery on his chest. He put more metal onto his leather jacket, along with buttons/sirens. He got some frilly-pink stuff, and put it near the hands of his jacket. Killer is wearing grey-coloured gloves, by the way. A sock is...erm...held on his right ear, and a microphone, which helps him talk, is on his left ear. He holds a lightening rod, a powerful weapon he bought from a merchant in Neopia Central. He has a red monocle, which can detect energy, in his left eye. He also has several tubes across his jacket. Why? I'm not really sure. Killer was recently zapped Rainbow coloured as well, at the time he entered. He also has..braces..on right now (I only could afford the cheap ones for him!)  He ended up winning fourth place, unfortunately, and didn't even get any prizes or a trophy. Killer was now extremely sad over losing by a place. He felt that his emotions always kept him down, so he made an attempt, to destroy the rest of the organic parts in his body. He's going FULLY robotic.
|
Author's Notes: As I'm sure you can see, I removed the "Flaming Shade," sadly. But, it's still on the cape. As you can see, I've learned a new kind of shading style, and a new eye-style as well. It's almost an identical image, except in a different pose, but trust me, I spent a LOT more time on this image. :P He has a lot more technology on his body this time around. Also note that I learned a new "shiny" technique as well, which I used on his hair, to make it look shiny. His face didn't turn out the way I wanted it to, (He looks somewhat evil.). I hope that people won't be biased towards cute image, and I also hope, that I win gold this week, as this week (September 3), is my birthday, and I'd love to get a gold-ban. :)
Finished: Thursday, August 30, 2007
Update: Didn't even place. Ah well, I'm quite happy, now I'll have more time to improve my work. ^.^ Next one, is a SUPER-robotic image, before I move on to another "style."

Story: Due to his emotions constantly dragging him downwards, Killer decided to quit in the Beauty Contest (Only in the story, he's actually entered, mind you! xP). Killer was very angry over the entire situation of himself losing the BC so frequently; but he vowed not to hurt any other neopians, ever since he turned into a Kacheek. He went on a quest, to remove all of his emotions, and to become fully robotic. He recycled all of his used machinery from the past, and upgraded then. Wires surrounded his entire body he covered himself in luminescent metals. But, it never worked; although he was robotic on the outside, he was still always a Kacheek on the inside. As hard as he tried, he never managed to rid himself of his humanoid functions. Eventually, he started to grow crazy, attempting various ways to rid himself; but in turn, they only hurt him. He started to attack himself with weapons, but one day, it was different. He managed to knock a shadow, containing his true emotions, out of his body, landing on the wall behind him. He didn't turn himself into a full robot...he had separated his emotions into two. One good, one evil. His physical body was now extremely nice; but his shadow, lurking behind him, was pure evil...
|
Author's Notes: Whew, another tough image. Same rules as the other image, but I spent more time on this one. I revived the Flaming Shade, and made it look great with a new technique I learned. =)

This sections contains miscellaneous images. Such include fan art, and entries which I've never completed.

Story: After Killer shredded Punchbag Bob and Punchbag Sid, he went onto his other duties. Since every neopet had fled from Neopia Central, Killer planned on going elsewhere to find a higher population of neopets. Meridell. After flying his way there, King Skarl approached Killer, and asked him about all of this. Killer, however, attempted to kill Skarl, however, Skarl quickly captured Killer into a cage with the help of his fellow guards. They had a plan of changing his species, perhaps if he was changed, the DNA of his body would change as well, and perhaps the liquid that poisoned his body, would transform into normal bodily fluids. One of King Skarl's guards, named "Jifa," quickly saved the day by throwing some Kacheek Flour onto Killer! It's been at least a year, and Killer is now a peaceful Kacheek, going through life normally. Neopia Central has now repopulated itself, and everyone is happy now! Well, everyone was happy, because, there were more problems in store for everyone, but alas, I must save that tale, for another time.

Author's Notes: Preview of the happy Elephante. Yup, he changes, for the better. This is just a very rough sketch, and although it may look ugly compared to my above images, this is how all my work starts off, with a sketch. Then I do everything else.
EDIT: I've decided to change my pet into a Kacheek.
Blood Killer X - my pet, has gone into a Kacheek, permanently! Yes, you've heard me. There are many reasons for this. You see, a Guild member of mine, has Kacheek Flour for whenever a pet needs to be turned into a Kacheek. I use both a mix of the Lab, along with Training, so this had to be done. Kacheeks can use a nice species healer in the Battledome, and I love to battle in the Battledome.
I am also moving my work, from Beauty Contest entries to Neopian Times submissions. Kacheek is a much harder category to win in the Beauty Contest; but that doesn't necessarily mean that I'll be quitting the BC altogether, I'll do some more entries, but I'll spend more time on it. Also,
Also, the new "nice" Elephante picture I was working on, is going to be scraped, however it will remain on this petpage for history. You see, you can't enter a different species into the BC, and I have no intention on making another Elephante.
This image is now, CANCEL'D. My Elephante was originally going to turn happy, but now he changed species. Let's pretend this is a memorial image, of the old Killer.
|
Story: Killer - now changed into a happy Blue Kacheek, now enjoys his life happily. Not much to say, but he spends a nice week relaxing. Neopia Central is repopulated, and he happily plays games with me - Brandon. Of course, we run into a few problems, but we've worked them out for the better.
|
Author's Notes: Fan art of my Kacheek by Lotus_emerald. Although it's just a simple sketch, she's a very talented and respected artist at the Beauty Contest board. I am ever so greatful to have her image, as the first image here, of my Kacheek. It's a simple sketch, but it shows Killer's cuteness well. :)
|
Story: Yup, Killer is enjoying himself. Not much to say.
|
Author's Notes: Fan art, from a talented artist, known as Star_o_o! She seemed to have drawn Killer as a...realistic....cat. It's still a very nice image, and quite cute as well. :) My compliments to the artist. *winks*

Hello, _dead_meat_x_, you're now exiting the story page, and are entering the "Comic" section. Here, you'll find cool comics I made. Most of these comics were originally made for the Neopian Times, but were rejected. Here will be a place where you can see them all. I also included author's notes as well for each comic. Remember, don't steal any images, I can easily prove that I was the creator (Look how many evil images I have :P) of it all. Otherwise, please enjoy your stay here! Check back for more comics, they get released every few months!
|
Story Explanation: Alright, before we start, these comics are just for funny purposes and entertainment, they have NOTHING to do with Blood Killer X's real story. Also, I, Brandon, am referred to as "Dead", Blood Killer X is simply referred as "Killer". Anyways, in this comic, we see me (Yes, I'm the South-American boy with bangs and a mullet), finding Blood Killer X's toothbrush in a state of anger. Blood Killer X then was happy, and proceeded to give me a "hug". I shouted and begged for him not to, but he did. I'm then seen at the medical center in Neopia Central.
Author's Notes: First comic. I've just submitted it to the Neopian Times. It's a semi-funny comic, but readers viewing this from the Neopian Times would have no idea why Blood Killer X is so..."spikey". I doubt that this will get into the Neopian Times, but I'm submitting it anyways, just in case, wish me luck.
|
Story Explanation: We see the random event, then we see the bullies twist me upside-down. I call Killer, and that's really that.
Author's Notes: Second comic. Yup, I used this random event in this comic. I screwed up the bullies' colours though; the Grarrl is Green, and the Skeith is Red. In the event, they're different colours, but it shouldn't really matter. I also messed up the outline for the first half of the comic, but it's not really noticable. I just used the same process as the last comic, though this time I shaded (Because I learned a trick to make JPGs in a small file size, without messing up the quality).
|
Story Explanation: We see the event, and Dead looks up in the sky. Cakes land on his new kahki (I can't spell it :P) pants. Killer reveals of being lactose intolerant, he shouts "CURSES!". Then, Dead found out that people were watching and laughing at him. He stood still, being paranoid.
Author's Notes: Another funny comic. I did the outline/colouring well, and there's a nice grassy background. The cake was hard to do though. I could've done it much better. I messed up the shading a bit, I think I over did the shading, but meh.
