Artist's Comments

^^; The picture ended up being so big, I had to make a preview pic for it. :D

Well, after a few months work (and weeks of slight procrastination), it is finally finished. This is the wonderful group of people that I met during my time at Code Lyoko forums of the late TV Tome. Drawn here are over 50 members of that lovely little site, and at least half a dozen more given special mention. I love you guys! This is my gift to you! :hug: ...And I hope you don't totally want to kill me for the way I've drawn you. :XD:

I shall name everyone starting at the top row and going from the left to the right:
G-Force4, Hiroshi Yamabuki, 101SissyHater, musing_raven, C-User, Neodude, JeremyHopper, EnkiGilbert, Movie-Brat, Lyoko999, AngelBolt, Charizard7, Quala, Darklord12, Darth Ferfer, CzarNicky, and Cantthinkofusername ( ^^; ).
Second Row (from left): Jaleigh, McTrooper, Spirit of Dragon, ShadowDragon99, YumisInnerSelf, ILikeYumi, Odd2929, OddBoy, horo_horo, Glory one-eye, DuckPond92, and dannyxsam4ever.
Third Row (from left): GuardianGirl624, UlrichAndYumi4Ever, Little Vili, Wind91Rider, X1, Kagetsu, SamBlob, BloodyHellRodri85, Mewberries151 (me), Linii-chan, CBIzumi, Dan&SandwichBoy, ErinSeeLyoko (StarWay), Numbah 3.14, JoeDaHobo, Dylan0513, Brainof7, and Kiwi-chan.

On the far right are the VAs of Code Lyoko that it was so awesome to have on the forum. They're represented by the character (or one of the characters) they voice: JForrest (Jodi Forrest, voice of Sissi), UlrichBWS (Barbara Weber-Scaff, voice of Ulrich), americaninparis (Matthew Geczy, voice of Odd), Cher's Spare Parts (David Gasman, voice of Jim), and Jerlita (Sharon Mann, voice of Jeremie and Aelita).

Behind them are our two awesome editors Gino24 and Merloi. Merloi was Matthew Geczy's editor, while Gino24 was the editor for Code Lyoko and the forums.

Special mention was given to those that were at the forum, but that I couldn't draw into a CL form for various reasons. ^^; My apologies.

Anyway, I feel I owe explanations to three people for the forms I came up with for them:

~SamBlob, I ended up using your two "real life" pictures and your entry for ~Code-Lyoko-Club's contest as the primary inspiration. I hope that's okay. I was really tempted to do a sort of "Bill Bison" form for you, but I realized about halfway throught the original drawing that I can't draw bisons very well. ^^; My apologies, and I hope you like this form alright. :)

~StarWay, your original name on TVT was ErinSeeLyoko and for some reason the first thing that always came to mind was the Erin of Miguzi. ^^; You gave me a description as to how you wanted yourself to look, but when it came to an outfit description, you told me "weird as anything, but still cool looking". So, still thinking of the Miguzi Erin, I sort of based your outfit off of hers along with your hairstyle. :XD: Let me know if you absolutely hate the outfit as I can probably change the colors on it if you like. :)

And poor X1! I know you gave me a description of what your CL persona looked like, but due to my poor composition planning for this picture...I kind of ran out of space. :faint: Also in my thumbnail sketches for your character I had a terrible time getting the hairstyle and outfit right, so I was forced to go with something else before I totally destroyed your character. My deepest apologies for this. I hope the form I've done instead for you is okay. XANA always made me think of an Unown, and I really thought your name "X1" would look cool in a sort of hybrid XANA/Unown style. So I hope you like it well enough. I'm really sorry that I couldn't do better for you. Especially considering you've been very generous in regards to my employment in your website. I will entirely understand if I'm fired after this. ^^;

In closing, I have to say that this picture reflects the extent of my talent in character design and digital coloring. It was really challenging and fun to come up with all the different character designs, and I hope everyone's happy with it. I wish I'd put a bit more thought into the composition as it seems I have quite a few gatherings of the color black in a few areas. I also hope I can find the whole TVT gang so that they know I've finally finished it. If anyone can help me find them, I'd greatly appreciate it! :D Oh, and if anyone has a major complaint about their form, just let me know, and I'll do my best to remedy it.

Anyway, enough of my talking! You guys rock my world! TV Tome will live on in our memories, as will each and every good time we shared there! I will never forget you all, no matter what! :hug:

Edit Added Animenologist and Dr. Thinker to the "Special Mention" list. My apologies to those two for leaving them out to begin with. ^^;

Cool drawing, I've been to the website every now and then but never joined it.

I ran out of ideas for a sig. So I put this here.
:iconsamblob:
1. This is huge. Literally. My new computer has a bigger resolution than the old one and it *still* comes nowhere close to fitting the screen.

2. You, me, and CB, front and centre! :dance:

3. Upon seeing the picture of me, I thought, "Yep, that's me. I look just like Dave." Dave was my second brother. RIP.

4. Yep, that's Vili! :XD:

5. Hm... taking advantage of Ms. Kirkland's absence from TVTome, you set up Yumi as YIS! Cool! :D

6. Thanks for the "Erin from Miguzi" explanation, otherwise I would never have guessed which on ~StarWay was... ^^;

7. Your depiction of UlrichBWS (now known as kiwi) reminds me of =nakira's art. She has practically left dA, and I only learned that today.

There is MUCH more to say about this, but that will do for now...

You know how LONG that took for me to load? I'm on dial-up, so it took about 5 minutes. But it was well worth it xD I love it! ^^ *snickers* Especially the VA's off to the side. But everybody looks so great, you can really see the work you put into this ^^ A very awesome pic, and one that's getting favved straightaway xD ^^ :glomp:

:D Thanks! It was a really cool forum site, but it's gone now, having been sold and re-imaged into a site called TV.com. But for me, it was the people there that made the site so much fun, which is why I decided to make this tribute to them. :) Thanks for the compliment!

you're welcome

:XD: I know. It's very big, but I couldn't bring myself to scale it down past "life-size"...I didn't want to compromise anyone in it, since some Tomers I drew with rather small forms, and I wanted the detail to still show through. It is really big though. My apologies to your poor computer. Mine has trouble loading it even. ^^;

Yep, right up front! I tried to keep everyone's placings as "neutral" as possible, but I admit I put you, me, CB up front on purpose. I made friends with you two first on TVT and you both welcomed me to DA (you having also led me to it), so I had to give you special placings. :D You both rock! :w00t:

:XD: I followed Vili's description of what he'd look like as a CL character to the letter. I couldn't resist the Aelita photo though. ^^; It was one of his character traits at TVT after all. ;)

Yeah! Thanks! I wasn't sure what to do about YIS's form (since I never found one for her own CL character), but I wanted to draw her in, so I put her as Yumi. And admittedly, I put her next to ILikeYumi on purpose...his name always made me giggle, and they joined TVT around the same time so...I hope she doesn't mind when she sees it. ^^;

Heh...you're welcome. I had trouble creating a character design for StarWay (no idea why though), so I thought an explanation might be prudent. I'm not sure exactly what her feelings towards Miguzi are, so I hope she's okay with her outfit and CL form. *sweatdrop*

Nakira's left DA? My goodness! I'll have to look into this! I loved her CL doujinshi! I suppose that means she won't continue it then. Aww... :( That's really nice of you to say my design for UlrichBWS reminds you of her style. Thanks very much!

:boogie: I'm so glad you like your TVT/CL form! Although I'm sorry to hear about your brother. :worry: I can't imagine what that would be like to go through. :( RIP.

I look forward to your further comments!

:hug: Thank you!! One million times! :D And a thousand apologies for the long loading time! ^^; I used to have dial-up too, so I can only imagine what this did. :faint: I thought about sizing it down to half-size but I was afraid I'd lose the details on some of the smaller characters. I'm so glad you feel it was worth it though! :w00t:

:XD: I had to put the VAs in. They were the best! The comic dialogue was sort of random. I always wondered what the actual characters themselves would say if they knew about us fans, so I borrowed the VAs for the roles as well. ;)

I am so glad you like this though! Thank you so much! :glomp: And thanks very much for the fave! :boogie:

w00t. its finally done!!! Its kind of funny to see my character in a hawaiian shirt now...I know thats what I used to wear, but I havent for a good long time now.
Oh well, its all good. You looked like you put a lot of effort into it, and I must say, this is some very impressive stuff.

Here is a hug for a job well done :hug: you deserve this...and a cup of "Magic coff33 +1"
