Thank you for all the kind words, dudes! I don't do much streaming (one year old baby makes it pretty difficult to make it through a match without pausing) so I've been trying to share my weird little universe in other ways, and make this here creativity thread into a sort of coffee table book for what you can do with Fire Pro and elbow grease. Extremely glad to hear people are enjoying it!

Dudes, I begrudgingly took a couple-month hiatus from Fire Pro after that whole 1.02/2.0 fiasco, but I've finally made my way to 2.0 and am ready to start making my strange stuff once again. Here's a little preview of some versus screens I've been making for use in the cards and results of an e-fed I have planned, which I will hopefully get underway soon. I figured this looked a little snazzier than just writing This Dude vs That Dude, and it was fun to try and design a logo for each character. I also went so far as to find a different flag for each character (this fed is set in Mexico so most are provincial flags), and made custom flags for stables. These are just VERY, VERY rough drafts that could still use some drop shadows hither and thither and some other touch-up (just look at those dreadful smudges I left on what should have been a totally transparent background), but I thought it was a pretty fun idea for people looking for ways to make good use of the green screen mod.   |

I posted this in my i.W.e. TV e-fed thread too, but I thought I oughta post it in here as well, both for posterity and so I can explain the image without breaking kayfabe in my fed thread! :P  So when I was a teenager I lived in the Netherlands, which is famous for its wooden shoes, which is why this stable is named Zapatos de Madera. My best friend and I had a truly terrible punk/stoner/hard rock band and we called ourselves Los Descosidos, which is obviously how I arrived at El Descosido. Some of our closest friends had a nu-metal band (it was 2000, so shut up) called Sixteen Scars which is how I arrived at Cicatrices, which is Spanish for scars. When Sixteen Scars broke up, some of its members went on to form a post-hardcore band called The Exposition, which is where Exposito came from. And obviously all three of these guys being based on bands is why I chose to make this image into an album cover. Also of note but not pictured here: Years later former members of all three of the aforementioned bands formed a new group called The Boys and Crash. I stretched it a bit to follow the Mexican tradition of having "Son of _____" wrestlers, so I named a character El Hijo de Choque, which I thought essentially meant The Boy Of Crash. As it turns out, Choque means something more like "Shock" but by the time I realized that, I was already hooked on the Choque name so oh well. Damned Google translations... |

This is just wonderful. Always enjoy retro wrestling and boxing promotion posters and this is just stunning.

Here's two new venues I recently finished working on! I have a couple others nearing completion including a much-improved beach venue, an abattoir, a log cabin that looks absolutely preposterous, and finally a respectable gymnasium/basketball court, so stay tuned. SHANGRI-LA for the Spike DomeFeaturing:- A bamboo entrance ramp
- Beds of hot coals in the aisles
- Palm fronds surrounding the ring for whatever reason
- A FUCKING ANACONDA ON THE STAGE
 RANCHO IMPERIO for the DojoFeaturing:
- Stone walls
- Groovy triangular tiles on the floor
- Glass display cases full of lucha masks
- Lockers
- Chess-themed mats

Love the Shangri-La. The stage and ramp looks close to the ones I wanted to make for my Safari Kingdom promotion I never got around to. :)

Every new promotion needs a new ring, so I slapped together this bad boy and was really pleased with how it turns out. I made a new federation for my animal-themed edits called Double Bird Wrestling (hardy har har get it), and I made a logo with the letters 'dbW' mashed together in such a way that it ended up looking a lot like a praying mantis, which is why I got all green on it. And yeah, I know its called Double BIRD so it's odd to have a MANTIS as a logo but oh well to hell with it. I gave the mantis iridescent eyes because fuck it. Most of my rings are pretty retro so I wanted to try something semi-modern/futuristic-ish.  Also, the image includes a sneak peak at my just-about-finished gymnasium. I felt like every other gym I'd come across had improper scaling or didn't tail off to dark shadows correctly, so here's my take on one. I went to absurd lengths to scale it correctly, by which I mean I took control of a character and made him stand at the key of the basketball court and just sort of eyeballed it. |

WOW! Amazing looking gymnasium and really good looking ring!
