Continuing the theme of being increasingly more useless and frustrating to use, soon only the elite shall use elite.

Angewomon! ;D And WOW, you did a great job on that! Everything just looks like an actual drawing! I really love her chest the helmet and face in particular though - it just all looks so smooth. Also, Angewomon COMPLETELY over-shadows Angemon IMO. Her Celestial Arrow is just so freaking awesome! She's one bi tch that you DO NOT want to piss off!

I was never a fan of Digimon because A) The theme song was annoying and B) The Digimon talked.

I was considering doing a mangaangemon emblem, but I was afraid not many people would know who it was.
Good emblem btw, but I prefer your Skyla one.

Also, Angewomon COMPLETELY over-shadows Angemon IMO. Her Celestial Arrow is just so freaking awesome! She's one bi tch that you DO NOT want to piss off! While Angemon is actually more of my favourite, she totally caught me off-guard back in the day. The circumstances around her first appearance also made me cry.
Thanks for the compliments, too. The helmet was just plain tricky; it took an absent-minded jumble of layers to get it juuuust right. I was never a fan of Digimon because A) The theme song was annoying and B) The Digimon talked. I didn't mind the speech at all; it added to characters and kept the writing fresh. Plus, you wouldn't be able to sympathize nearly as much as well as dread the villains more -- the motivations are crystal clear. This made me love Meowth and Mewtwo back then, since they're outside of the typical animal likeness of other Pokemon.
The music I'll definitely agree with to this day and age -- when compared to the original japanese version it just feels plastered on. I suggest you get a fix on the former soundtrack instead and reel in the glory of an engaging orchestra plus a slew of guitars. :3I was considering doing a mangaangemon emblem, but I was afraid not many people would know who it was. Good emblem btw, but I prefer your Skyla one. Funny, I also considered doing Angemon and especially his later form at first. Unfortunately, I found that he'd need too many layers outside of a facial shot, no thanks to all the intricacies of the designs. Still, I'd be hard-pressed to find MagnaAngemon obscure given how badass he was.
I'll agree about Skyla Mari, too. She set quite the benchmark from my end, but at least this one has boobies!11`!!!~

I grew up with the digimon vs pokemon schtick. I kinda loved that digimon could die. The talking also clearly explained motivations and malevolence. Tamers especially rocked my childhood. I remembered it so much, in my young adult life I rewatched it twice and again it rocked my philosophical world. It handled very adult issues and did not sugar coat death or emotional scarring. Only later did I find out that the entire Tamers season was wdone by a horror anime writer. Then it all made sense. Of course it was going to be dark. Of course it was going to be gritty. Of course alot of it was going to be censored in English
Oh wait. It wasn't. They barely censored any of the dark, gritty, creepy stuff. They didn't cater to the lowest common denominator. They didn't pull any punches. In the same vein as batman the animated series....they didn't look down on children. IMO season 3 of digimon trumped any season of pokemon (except perhaps the first season for nostalgia purposes).
P.S. sorry I meant magnaangemon and Mari....lol

After some brainstorming (and a retry), here's my new character.
For anyone unfamiliar with the old show ReBoot, his name is Matrix. He's a cynical anti-hero with a hefty trigger finger. >:3
What's more to him is that he's the very first fictional character to show me that not everything in life is bells and whistles, so take that as you will.

I like to design gun specific emblems, for instance, a carbon finder m8a1 is pretty spacy, so I slapped an N7 logo on there. Attachments:

I've seen Shadow Raiders a year or so ago too, different CGI series by the same creators, and thought of making a character from there or ReBoot. Wasn't as great and went unfinished but I liked it. Have you thought of doing Hexadecimal or Megabyte? You have like a choice of 12 faces of Hexadecimal to choose from.

Never heard of Shadow Raiders, but ReBoot is definitely a cornerstone of my childhood. Shame about your attempt, though.
As for those two villains, Megabyte would likely need too many layers to work reliably. Hexidecimal on the other hand can be feasible. I just might do her afterwards, given how much of a theatrical DC Comics Joker she is. :3

Oh I meant Shadow Raiders went unfinished as it suffered a cancellation without completing but I liked it, rather than making an emblem for it and that went unfinished. I'm not good enough with the emblem creator and I just have a blue star as mine. I thought of some military crests to regiments etc but I'd rather play the game than try and make a piece of art I guess. I use them on weapons I've prestiged twice so even if I was good at it, the pictures I'd create won't really be all that on the guns due to size restrictions. I did think about making Ermac from Mortal Kombat Armageddon as his redesigned costume is pretty neat.

IF they wanted to make the elite site worth going to.... they should build an online emblem builder for PC and allow you to ship it ingame much like you could custom classes. My dexterity and accuracy on the PS3 emblem builder is very poor, so all these cool youtube videos are just a tease for me, as I can't make it look nearly as cool as it should. Right now, I sorta have this as my emblem (without the black outer circle:)

I tried being artistic...I'm terrible, even trying half faces of cartoon characters (it's just circles, ovals and triangles for pete's sake). I tried Scott Pilgrim and Raven (The Cartoon Network Teen Titans version) Can't do it, the most artistic I ever got was the TARDIS in BO.
Also what's with all the Spidermans, Iron Man angry birds and Wolverines I keep seeing on PS3

This thread makes my emblem efforts like a school kid with crayons vs art students at college. The problem I am trying to think of one nobody has done before that linked to me.

I have a giant question mark and no one else seems to have it so far. Since I'm on PS3, you could potentially be one of the first few to have it on the 360. It's difficult making, though, considering there's no question mark template.

How do you post emblems? The old method doesn't work. I just have a green private badge where my emblem should be on CoD Elite

It certainly does, but that won't deter me!
Move along Mari, I poured an even greater effort to make this one shine. :3 She's an 18-year science prodigy named Kurisu Makise from the Steins;Gate craze.
She's also mad tsundere so much love <3.
