Rock Band - Customized Characters/Instruments

[Rock Bandit]

Rock Band Bio: Richard Keef

With Brit-tar:

Hometown: London

History: A fixture of the South London pub scene of the 70s, Richard was a perennial almost-was. His biggest taste of fame was scoring a moderate local radio hit with the song "Take Off Your Pants (It's Time For Romance)" with his band at the time, Richard & The Raging Semis. Having long ago put away his rock n' roll dreams for a union job and two-level flat Richard has decided to break out his old stage outfit (still fits!) and prove to his bitch of an ex-wife he's not a balding, impotent wash-up.

Best Road Story: Once did a line of coke with Don Henley's drum tech.

Hidden Secret: Used to credit fellow English rockers Spinal Tap as a huge influence until he was informed that they were, in fact, fictional.

Hah! My characters are: myself and my friends. Nothing fancy.

I'll post a picture once RockBand.com finishes rendering eventually.

::edit::
Here's my profile (http://rockband.com/users/suavepeanut).

One of the few characters that I've made that I'm happy with.

Less happy with the render, but oh well. She looks good on stage.

Here's Eddie Jupiter:

My band, The Chivalry!

http://rockband.com/uploads/user-generated-content/104539/The_20Chivalry-422x281_avatar_420.jpg

That's me in the front, my buddy James on the left and Logan on the right.

The Chivalry is the name of a band the three of us formed some three years ago that never practiced due to our schedules, but nowadays we all get together and pretend to be rockers in a pretend The Chivalry! Our logo is our mascot, Mr. Chivalry.

I'll be honest, the new picture mode leaves something to be desired. That's my rocker chick Suzy Lee btw.

And for another band, Tobias from the Nevernudes

(Is there a way to make the instruments appear? I have some pretty cool custom designs, and I also redid Raz's backpack with the badges....but can't get those to really show up in the online photo generator. At least Tobias' face paint and chest hair show up, as well as Sascha's dangling hair strand.)

What an awesome idea. Too funny. Anal-rapist ftw

[inmostlight]

What an awesome idea. Too funny. Anal-rapist ftw

Don't think I didn't try every possible spacing of "analrapists" for a band name first, only to be denied each time...

[Rock Bandit]

So for anyone who remembers the original thread I made a shirt with the evil eye logo and created a strapping young Scot character to model it. Ready for part deux?

Ooh, almost an up-kilt shot. You little minx.

Let's get a close up of that shirt James.

[Ink Asylum]

Nice work. Great that they had little spacemen and moon landers as artwork!

[pomeroy]

We made a couple superstars for the band the other night.

Prince.

http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w53/pomeroy_bucket/Amy-422x281_5_avatar_420.jpg

Amy Winehouse (she looks so much better in the game, though).

Ymïr Blüdgörë

He comes from the land of the ice and snow.

From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow.

So it would seem you can get a wallpaper sized version of your pics now.

Rocker Profile: Candy Hart

Candy knows it takes more than talent to get to the top. You also need to sleep with the right people! With a savy mix of a stage presence that hits you like a shotgun blast to the face and hooking up with people more talented than her Candy has put all the criticism (and a husband or two) six feet under.

[roboninja]

Haven't linked my game to the website yet. Will have to do that tonight to get some pics up. DPI will rule you all! (on medium difficulty). :D

Our character names are just our real-life first names, so nothing notable there.

[roboninja]

D.P.I. is the name, band profile here (http://www.rockband.com/users/roboninja/bands/D.P.I.).

[Suave Peanut]

I totally Googled that guy after we played yesterday. Very nice, and I'm still impressed with the shirt!

[Rock Bandit]

I still can't believe you own a Dreamcast and never played Jet Set (wait, US title) Grind (fuck it, the other one's better) Set Radio. At the very least you should grab Jet Set Radio Future for the Xbox. It's backwards compatible.

[Suave Peanut]

In my defense, I didn't get the Dreamcast until 2004.

Still, I'll look into tracking down those games.

[Rock Bandit]

You're going to love the music. It's a LOT better than Hinder. :p

[wyeast]

Just do you don't feel all lonely in here, RockBandit... :D

Man, way to kill the thread, Wyeast. :(

Now, thanks to No-Fail and Performance Mode, we have onstage action footage! :D

I have a new muse, making zombified versions of dead celebrities. First up is Scream McQueen.

I'm tossing around some more ideas to do next. Slain Mansfield, Rot Hudson, Dead Astaire.
