I originally put up these reference shots for Juggy while he was working on RIMC's group portrait. I noticed a few people have used the Bot references, so I figured I'd put these out to the community for everyone to use. As of right now I only have Mercs and Bots, but my Thugs/Poison MM is now 32 and I'll get some reference shots for them up ASAP. No timeline for Necro or Ninjas yet.
Mercenaries - Commando
Mercenaries - Spec Ops
Mercenaries - Soldier
Mercenaries - Medic
Robotics - Assault Bot
Robotics - Protector Bot
Robotics - Battle Drone -
Here it is, the final version:
The Rogue Isles Marine Corps
This was my very first commission request. Juggy did a great job keeping me up-to-date and showing me progress on it.
Thanks again Juggy, was great working with you. Now take a break, you need it

Well if I understand this correctly, MM pets must be pulled from a bank of available costumes. Is there a way to redirect the call script from a pre-built database of costumes to a player created one? So instead of Summon Soldier > goto pet database > summon random soldier it would go Summon Soldier > goto player pets > summon Custom Soldier. Using the costume editor a player could created all 3 costumes for a pet for each upgrade.

OK thanks everyone! I was just worried I might get myself or an artist in trouble with my next commission.

My wife and I recently got sucked right into art collecting, mostly getting work done of our CoX characters. What I'm wondering is, what are the legal issues around commissioning an artist to portray someone else's copyrighted character? As in I want artist X to draw Batman or Wolverine or Lord Recluse... Would this be breaking copyright laws or is there a legal loophole?

So all my non-PvP spec'd MM's strengths are negated, thx!
And to whoever is able to STACK veng during a PvP match, my hat's off to you!
My apologies for this outburst, carry-on with the bunny-hopping and insp-popping.

This may have been posted before, but I really didn't feel like looking right now...
Villains don't have access to the General Epaulettes in Shoulder Options while Heroes have access to the Spike and Evil Epaulettes. I don't know which one is the bug, but I was hoping to get the non-spiky epaulettes on my villains dress uniform.
I have both Marshal on my main villain and Task Force Commander on my first hero. -

Nice, wasn't expecting to see my xmas present in the Scoop, though it's mis-titled. It's "Alpha-One vs Nemesis" by Juggertha, not "Tanks". Anyhow, good work all, and the article on video creation showed up just as I was planning on making one

Well after a few days of poking around my photoshop-fu has been getting stronger. So last night while ODing on caffeine I started over from scratch and came up with this...
RIMC Logo v3
I'm still not 100% sure about the shading on the Arachnos emblem, might revisit that later, but that's pretty final. I've been working on the sharks and should have a few sketches up this weekend. Let me know what you all think! -
I reworked the globe last night, put it through a blur filter to soften the coastlines a changed the colors to make it seem darker. Here's how it looks now...
RIMC Logo v2 -
Well, I've decided to get off my lazy [censored] and learn the ways of Photoshop-Fu to make RIMC's VG logo myself. I took inspiration from the USMC logo's layout.
Using that as a basis, what I'm trying for is...
Instead of a globe centered on the Americas, I want one centered on the Rogue Isles. Kinda zoomed in, so all you see is the Isles.
Instead of an eagle, a spider atop the globe in a threatening posture. Pictured so you're facing it and its front legs are outstretched, ready to pounce.
Next instead of the anchor, I want two sharks, a hammerhead and a mako, wrapping around the bottom of the globe, face to face.
Finally, I want the whole thing super-imposed on the Arachnos Emblem.
Here's what I have so far. Using Photoshop and MS Paint I screwed around with a map of the Rogue Isles until it looked somewhat decent. Then I resized it and super-imposed it over the Arachnos emblem. Next step will be the sharks, which I plan on hand drawing, scanning and overlaying on the globe.
So any critiques and comments? This is my first foray into art since my high-school days, so anything is welcome. -
How much direction do you want/expect when asked for a commission?
Would you rather be given a few reference shots and then be set free, or do you want the client to also direct poses, background, etc? -

And here's Alpha-One. Mercanaries does not offer this many minions, aspiring masterminds.
And I'm afraid I'll have to keep the queue closed until the weekend; I've got waaaay too much schoolwork.
Taking a college level course in high school = no easy bagel. Grr.

Awesome! Thanks a ton! Good luck with your school stuff -
How about Alpha-One?

Well if you wouldn't mind I have a small request... Details here.

Doesn't sound like you're looking for logo 'design' work. Sounds more like logo production with all the guidance.

I seem to have struck a nerve here and I apologize. However, this is a project that's important to me and I HAVE tried to make it myself (the darn spider is what kills it). I'm looking for something that looks professionally done and I'm willing to pay for it. So I figured I'd offer it to the CoH community first. -
I've been working on creating a logo for my Villain Group on Guardian, the Rogue Isles Marine Corps. Unfortunately my talents aren't up to the task, so I've decided to see if someone else can do it. For starters let me describe what I'd like.
This the the US Marine Corps emblem
Using that as a basis, what I'm looking for is...
Instead of a globe centered on the Americas, I want one centered on the Rogue Isles. Kinda zoomed in, so all you see is the Isles.
Instead of an eagle, a spider atop the globe in a threatening posture. Pictured so you're facing it and its front legs are outstretched, ready to pounce. This is the part I've had most trouble with, since I know what I want, but can't find a good reference for it. This is the best picture I've found of a spider's face. Everything else I leave open to the artist.
Next instead of the anchor, I want two sharks, a hammerhead and a mako, wrapping around the bottom of the globe, face to face.
Mako shark profile (needs to be rotated 90)
GIS for Mako, lots of good pics
Hammerhead Profile
GIS for Hammerhead Shark
Finally, I want the whole thing super-imposed on the Arachnos Emblem
So if your interested, please PM me with a quick sketch and how much a commission you charge.
Thanks -

Tell me about it, I put 3 in Spec Ops when tooltips were bugged, then realized you can't slot range in them I can see a corr or blaster maybe using them, but if you want to maximize range, it's better to buy a crapload of Range SOs and bring them all up to 50++ and slot 3 nucleos for dmg and acc...

BTW, those spikes you see (from dude in samurai armor's wrists) in image 6 must definately be a new Spines animation. If you look at image 3 you can see the blood widow beside him's been hit with impale or spine burst.

There is no amount of infamy/influence equal to a Hami. Reason what 47-50 is going to need infamy? It is far easier for a 50 to run some paper missions at leisure and collect 1M as opposed to finding a 2-3 hour block of time with seven other people. So the only thing worth trading a Hami for (pre I9) is another Hami. That said I'll give 1M for each of you Hami's

I based my methodology on value compared to SO enhancements. Comparing time to earn a SHOE and comparable time earning infamy would be rather flawed. My team can complete a LRSF in less than 90 minutes. In that time I not only earn a SHOE, but about 600K inf plus another 500K inf in SOs sold. So off the bat any SHOE would be worth at least 1 million. However, spend 90 minutes running paper missions. How much infamy would you earn? What's the size of the team? Reputation? Too many variables involved.
Right now I agree that the actual value of infamy is near nothing. Get one toon to 50 and you're good for all the alts on your server. However I9 will bring market economics into play. This is just an attempt at standardizing values. I'll never say these numbers are definate. Just look at the Rarity section. You could say I pulled that system out of my [censored] In fact, I'm hoping someone comes up with a BETTER system.
