Passive Ability Sandstrider-Scarab is unaffected by her Sand’s slow
Very nice detail to work and abilities
Thanks
it is a first draft though so any critiques would be appreciated
the locusts seem a bit underpowered as (if) the nest can be shot off, can be easily avoided and even if cannot be avoided, it doesn't really do anything that helpful unless you are close enough
rest all abilities are unique and cool tho
would totally play
my advice on locusts would be add at least some sort of damage or maybe track them longer
i personally like the mirageg (unless it was a typo) ability a lot
a mix of yoru and partially gekko sounds cool
Yeah I forgot to add the damage from the file it’s on there now
And that was a typo I’ll fix now
And thanks the interest
Anytime, i like characters who can prove to be a big annoyance
Scarab feels like one them
I have an inkling you play Yoru
Nah, I'm more of a controller
I like directly hiding things and annoying people
I haven't even unlocked yoru cause flashes aren't my thing
Fair fair I’m also a controller
Which one?
Varies for the map but mostly omen
I usually do viper or omen if bind or icebox
Im more of a laidback killer if that's a thing
I do initiators a good bit as well
Wbu
I can play pretty much every agent fairly well but I prefer controllers
Ah, a jack of all trades, fair fair
That was fast
im gonna attempt to draw Scarab but first Them Text
cool
No offense but why is she white, cause she's from Egypt so shouldn't she be middle eastern?
It was Ai art, Ai is not perfect with that stuff
Oh
My bad
yeah Im currently in the middle of drawing her myself but i wanted to see what ai came up with
ok
which ai did you use?
i dont know off the top off my head give me a few
I used StarryAI
Siick
i forgot to ask, any backstory you've made for her?
Scarab Sentinel
Passive – SandstriderPASSIVELY movement speed Scarab instead of being Slowed when standing in Scarab's own Slow.
Ability 1 – Locustswarm
Uses: 2 Uses |Cost: 200 |Duration: 5 s |Health: 50 HP |Damage: 25-50/s (Outer to Inner radius)
—Equip a Locust nest. FIRE to throw the nest that shatters upon hitting the floor, creating a lingering zone of swarming locusts that damages. ALT FIRE to place a covert nest. ACTIVATE the nest to release a damaging swarm of locusts.
Ability 2 – Sandstorm
Uses: 1 Uses |Cost: 300 |Duration: 15 s |Cooldown: 8 s (after deactivation) |Debuff: Nearsight, 55% Slow
—EQUIP a sand beetle. FIRE to throw the beetle that perpetually remains throughout the round. ALT FIRE to lob. RE-USE the ability to create a large dust cloud that Nearsights and Slows players inside of it. This ability can be RE-USED more than once and can be picked up to be REDEPLOYED.
Signature – Sand Trap
Uses: 1 Uses |Cost: Free |Cooldown: 20 s (Triggered/Recalled)/45 s (Destroyed) |Health: 100 HP |Debuff: 55% Slow, 4 s Concuss
—EQUIP a Antlion that scans for enemies movement above. FIRE to throw the antlion. Upon landing, the Antlion goes underground. ALT FIRE to lob. After an enemy comes in range, the antlion destabilizes the terrain around them, creating a lingering field that pulls and Slows players caught inside of it toward the center before it explodes, making all players still trapped inside concussed. HOLD EQUIP to recall the deployed trap.
Ultimate – name—Laser Ray from the sun similar to brim's ult but smaller radius, other differences (2 version, Primary straight-line/Secondary stationary)
“Meet the sentinel scarab” “unaffected by her Sand’s slow”
I was thinking something along the lines of her being from a long lineage of a family who protected the sarcophagus of a Pharaoh or something else important
So a tomb guardian or priestess
Yeah something like that
I was putting more thought into abilities than backstory at first
Using ancient insect/bugs to help defend her pharaoh and if that's not enough she calls upon the sun for help aka laser ray
That sounds like an automatic Astra pull but concussing instead of vulnerable
Cool
i think the idea and all the abilities are very cool, the only thing i was a little confused was mirage, i think its a little like a yoru clone that you can control? the ult sound a little strange like a mix of kj and harbor ult and nearsiting anyone who walks in sounds a bit broken, i think its a great concept tho!
Thanks and for explanation mirage is a mix of wingman and Yoru clone and Sandstorm is a little like if vipers snake pit had sage slows on the ground
ty
i think its a really great and high quality concept
🥰
Thanks again you a :GigaChadBrim:
u2
Oh and to clear it up sandstorm doesn’t have decay
Im procrastinating the shit out of this someone motivate me somehow
Would be cool
hmmmm
quick progress shot
What if you can RE-USE the abilities after a short cooldown after picking them up, excluding ult, similar to gekko
wait this is SO GOOD
make some stuff a lil bigger tho 😅
You’re gonna have to be a bit specific, I could make her hands bigger or her hair maybe the coat tails?
I was thinking of that as well but more towards like chamber or cypher than gekko
ah srry
tbh i know nothing abt art so
maybe ask some other people?
I thought you were meaning the breasts and just being coy
So I was messing with you
One thing about the stance, it is based of Reyna? As it seems very similar in terms of look
Yes it is I’m gonna change it some as I continue drawing but Reyna was the base for it
looking good!
cypher gf is here
I guess up to you
B/c Sandstorm seems like a controller signature
idk my think is a sentinel so thats why i did it this way
"Sentinels are defensive experts who can lock down areas and watch flanks, both on attacker and defender rounds."
—OS Desc
Op
Uh
Motivation lost once more help
Whenever I’m done with this which should I do? A player card or a contract skin
nahhh
plz finish it
its so good
🥹
card
alright noted
ty
np
I
HATE
Hands
Not sure if it would make it easier or not, but they could always be linen wrapped
my hatred is more towards the fingers
That’s what I meant, you could always be a touch more lazy and just have them be wrapped
Like, all 4 fingers wrapped together and then a thumb
wouldnt that be difficult to pull a trigger with though
Umm
That is the point of the game isn’t it
Sorry I have a propensity for bad ideas
all good dont worry
Lol
im done for today heres progress shot
noice
FIRE
🔥 🔥 🔥
That's cool
Her head looks too small compared to her assets but really cool 10/10 design
turn the locusts into a mini flash bang where it cuts off the player from all sound, and 50% vision
Her abdomen and waist are actually much smaller than they probably should be for healthy anatomy, but the head to chest ratio is actually pretty realistic
oh, you probably meant this picture. Yeah, I agree; her head is much too small
i dunno really, it looks quite small to me
Yeah I noticed that last night after I sent it, I’m gonna make it a little bigger
ooh nice I'm liking how she's turning out
Thanks I’m very much procrastinating on the face rn tho :KekwSob:
head fixed
I pretty much have to do the face now
okay hear me out no face
Make it a guy Fawkes mask
No I’m gonna draw the face I’m just procrastinating still
she want me
its not much but ive motivated my self to do the eyes and nose
I’m probably going to procrastinate the mouth for twice as long as I did for the eyes cause I really hate drawing them
Thoughts, I don't know what to do with the ult
It sounds more like a mix between brim and viper
give her one of these or smthn
mightve if i didnt already draw everything but the mouth
oof
thanks for the suggestion though
i did a thing
now for the home stretch
Give her an eye of horus/ra necklace
she has eye of horus and eye of ra tattoos
mouth shading and highlights are DONE
I wanted to change the cover image but I can’t add a new one help
well i fucked this up
Now do a 3D model of said Agent
thats a funny joke
I guess I'll use that for a joke now.
I’m gonna start on the Player Card tomorrow
does anyone know how to add the new image so that it appears on the title part in the list?
I might have to make a new post i can figure out how to do this and just accidentally got rid of the initiall post completely rip
what happened to the original one?
I wanted to replace the ai image with the one i drew deletes it and didnt know how to add the new one
and while messing around trying to add it i accidentaly deleted the original message
Im not very smart sometimes
lol
Im gonna keep trying to figure out how to fix this one for a little but if i cant ill just link the new post in here
