Been a bit busy, so, I know I'm a tad late kicking off my 09 year. I know I hardly did any releases/previews last year. I'd expect the same this year. Though, I will try and get my usual ones out. So, up first, why don't we start off with one everyone knows? Sakura Oyamada. I've been making her in the Smackdown! Games since 06, however, she's been a character of mine for far longer. I've changed her look a little. Given her an MVP-ish bandage under her right eye. Nothing says "fighter" or "warrior" like something under the eye. I've also given her some neck wear, nothing major. Gloves have been updated, her usual belt has been removed due to it looking odd this year. She's still sort of WIP, but this is what I have so far and I'm happy with this. Trying to get a back tattoo that I like made. I'll record the entrance and add it later along with sigs and finishers. I didn't make a custom finisher for her, so, don't expect anything there. Anyway, yeah. Here's to another year of this. More Coven CAWsWillow

I already love her. She looks way better than last year, and I love that my attire's still being used on her. The Form. Now. *narrows eyes and continues to harass on MSN*

Thank ya. I'll get formula typed up sometime. Haven't done anything in career mode as you know so she doesn't have any stats or anything. Have some abilities in mind with your help so I'll add in and all what she needs and such.

Thanks guys. Entrance added to the first post and... and... A work in progress CAW as of right now. I've gone with Jonny's approach and based him off of a celebrity, mainly because I lost his old 2006 & 2007 formulas. Its a guy I've been making since the second Smackdown game, his name is Cain, nothing spectacular. He appeared in FCW briefly as an enforcer to Pryor if I remember correctly. Cain is my resident big guy. Everyone has at least one big guy, or big gal, on their roster. lol I've based his face loosely off of Deicide's lead singer, Glenn Benton. If you're curious who that is... look it up. Quick type of "Glenn Benton" in google will provide enough pictures in the image section for you to see. Again, he's not meant to look exactly like the guy, just loosely based.

Nice work Willow. Sakura looks awesome once again. And the new guy is looking pretty good too.

Thanks 187. ^.^ pics added to Cain's post since I know some people are lazy Kidding. At the time of posting I didn't feel like uploading his pictures, but they're up. Not the best to compare with with but meh.

Looks like a good start. Some things I'd do, is make him look meaner. Smaller eyes, broaden up the surrounding areas to his jaw some to make him look like he can take one hell of a shot. Right now, though, eyes are key. He looks almost puppy dog-ish in that sense.

Update on Cain: Changed the eye's, so they look meaner now (making them smaller was a big help), shaped out his jaw a bit so it looks like he can take a haymaker from boxer and/or ufc fighter and keep going strong. Changed his skin tone so he looks even more roughish, added some skin aging to increase the roughage and worked on his body some more. Still WIP but he's coming along. Jonny saw all this unfold on webcam! XD I'll get pictures later but for now I'll show something else I've worked on. Yup. Its me. Attire is as close as I could get to my real one (Women can wear chaps now again... WOO! Yes, chaps are apart of my real attire). Its not picture perfect to my attire, but it works for what it is in SVR09. I must agree with something Ozzy said, I believe it was when he posted Leidhammer on the caws.ws. Finally, the games allow us to convey actual size differences between CAWs and even the ingame wrestlers. I don't have a size judge picture yet. But, lets just say I make Beth look like Maria and you'd feel sorry seeing Layla next to me 6'0½" and 220 lbs... I'm happy with who I am. My size and all, but I wish people would stop thinking I'm gonna hurt them. >.> Sometimes in stores when I talking to grocers I feel an air of unease. lol Same thing in my own damn work environment (I are chef in restaurant) from fellow co-workers. XD Anyway... Entrance soon along with sigs and finishers. Tweaking the song so it fits just right.

Hell yeah, another Shrek-sized person! (Knew this already... rofl) It's kinda like people I work with and me when they KNOW that I'm pissed... I had one kid staying in the very back of the press for almost an hour after he fucked something up that cost me two hours. ... being huge kinda sucks when shit breaks though. Hard to fit >_> <_< The CAW pwns though. Fortunately, I never had the size problem with Pryor since he's body-wise based on me when I was going into the army and I could make him 6'0" and still stocky. FTW.

Hard to fit indeed. Being chef in the restaurant, I like it, cause I enjoy cooking, but its also my job and priority to make sure everyone else is doing what they're supposed to be doing and making sure everything is in proper order. Stuff going smoothly, etc, etc. So, at times, I have to raise my voice for everyone to hear me, as it can get pretty loud in the kitchen sometimes. The having to raise the voice coupled with the fact they are uneasy around me at times due to my size can either get things moving or cause accidents due to them getting nervous.. Its really bad during rush hour times. XD I just wish people would relax some. lol But yes, thank you for the compliment guys

*Adds to the big statements* Being 6' 7" now and over 320lbs, also being bald too. People always assume that I am a thug and that I'll hit them over the slightiest thing. Honestly I mostly just huff and puff, but the same old jokes and comments can be tiresome. "Oh I wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of you" or "Or please give me a headstart" I am a nice person mostly. I only defend myself when needed, I don't walk around looking to slam people for no reason. Actually I am rather quiet and I tend to keep my opinions to myself, and I tend to only get involved in onesided disputes. *On topic* I like what I am seeing so far, I see somethings I thought I would see on Willow. Pretty good. I look forward to more

Thanks Jay and.... I just HAD to show this guy off as soon as I made him Taichi Noburu. He's the third person Sakura ever trained to be a wrestler. I never made him, never had an idea of how he should look or anything of the sort. I just always stated (in my mind, as it never went down on paper, or shall we say, text on a screen) that the third person she ever trained was a male and thats far as it went. After talking with Ozzy tonight for quite some time, my creative juices got to flowing. One thing after another and here we are on a spur of the moment type of creation which I've been working on for the past few hours. Ozzy helped out with his last name and color scheme. Entrance and moveset have not been done yet, but they will and once I get them done, they'll be added of course, but for now, I hope you enjoy. His attire isn't meant to be flashy, its just meant to be straight to the point. On a random note, I'm sure Sakura had a time training him due to his size. I've got him at 6'3'' and 312 lbs.
