    I don't see the 2 as related, but I agree i don't see it happening, but then again it doesn't hurt to pitch the idea
  2. Its a rather simple and elegant idea, we should have as a repeatable tier 9 rewards option to exchange out reward token for Paragon points, at first I was going to say 400 and every month but then I realized that would mean pretty much giving us $10 worth of points a month as apposed to $5. So I ws thinking it could be done one of 2 ways.

    Either it is repeatable once every 3 months for 400pts
    or
    You can do it monthly for something like 150pts

    what brought about this idea to be quite frank is today a new power set dropped at the usual cost, 800pts. How ever I am a bit short and am currently too broke to purchase 400pts. If such an option existed it would be nice to have.

    Also I thought of the fact that some people who have reached tier 9 VIP have bought little or none of the costume pieces put in that category and may have all the costume pieces from the tarot game. This would be a great alternative for them as well.
  3. First let me be clear and say I did NOT Draw any of the art shown in this thread (at least not yet) The line art is not mine the COLOR IS and was done at the request or with the permission of the owner of the art (whether that is the artist, or recipient of the original line art)
    my DA site can be found here

    With that said On to the Art!

    this is QuarriosSoul's Malleable Mechanic originally drawn by AdamMasterman on DA


    Here is Mariner's Micro Lad with the Fantastic four's Thing original art by Bobby Blaze AKA Agent Canada


    This one I colored some time ago and is Kaemgen's Fenian drawn by kthewife inked by frost dusk aka Dave (no link for kthewife as her account on DA seems to have been deactivated


    I hope I have more colored art to show soon, who knows maybe next time it will be your hero or your line art I color!

    comments welcome

    AC's art can be found here. http://agentcanada.deviantart.com/





    Micro Lad traditionally wears reds and blues but for this picture he should be in FF blue and white. Thanking you for taking the time to do this, even if mine isn't chosen it's very generous of you to do this.
    here is the color version of this one




    this means that there is only one other lucky person who gets a lovely color job from yours truely. so submit those pieces of line art folks
  5. So here is the deal Folks, I have recently found that while my drawing skills are okay-ish my color skills are by far much better. For this reason I am looking for some clean line art to color to use as examples to show case said "talent". this Means it will be FREE

    Details?
    Here they are:
    -Post a piece of Line clean line art (IE inked or final pencils... NO Roughs), along with any details such as color schemes, powers, in game screen shots to accompany the line art for ref any thing you think will help

    - You Must own this line art in some fashion either you drew it, commissioned it or received it as a gift (please note if it was a gift or commission you received please also leave in you post who drew it)

    - At random I will will select 2 pieces to color (basically when one strikes my fancy)

    - Posting a picture in this thread is giving me permission to color said line art and post the results on my Deviant Art page (with proper credit to the owner and artist of the original and any links to said original art/artist)

    Good Luck!

    Thanks for giving me an excuse to sit and make costumes for hours on end (I mean this either sincerely or sarcastically depending on how much free time I actually have that day).
    ROFL well that wasn't the point of the thread but hell if you wanna that is cool by me, the reason I made it is cause i tend to have Hero/Villain ADD, the ones I keep require more then just a cool costume! have to enjoy the powers I chose and the story line I give them. This aside, when making a character I often conceptualize based on the costume so I make lots of them (especially on the beta ) as a result alot of really cool costumes I make just don't get used. I feel guilty... this thread eases that guilt :P

    oh another batch will likely be released after cyber tech set comes out.

    so basically if you did only four costumes total but did them of for example Ms. Liberty, Aurora, Swan, and Infernal you'd qualify correct?

    Please keep your pictures to 3 per character, it is perfectly okay to use an action shot as your front or side view, as it probably shows both(or one or the other at least). (Also, not that anyone has done this, but a reminder that if you have large pictures, you can post links instead.)

    Please also refraining from quoting others' pictures as it makes the thread longer to load and could potentially be confusing.

    Finally, we are happy to answer any questions or clarify any points, we'll do our very best to answer quickly.

    Let's keep the thread and all posts positive and supportive The entries so far are awesome!
    my apologies Madame Pistacio ^_^ I meant no ill will, I was obviously doing a poor job of attempting to help :P

    I can remove the extra image if the judges insist, but wanted to show the front, side and back as well as an extra pose that does not always (if you look at the other small insets) work to show just those views.
    I am just saying i brought something up about a similar issue involving aura in the multimedia thread about this and Miss P said 3 images only no fourth so i wouldn't be surprised and I only quoted on so as not to take up more space that people have to scroll through. i really only quoted the one so people would know whom i was speaking to

  14. Global Handle: @Xen0phage
    (My Entries so far Ms. Liberty x2, Aurora x2, Infernal x2, Woodsman x2, Luminary x2, Valkyrie x2, Swan x2, Mynx x2)

    Vindicator: Ms. Liberty (Now StatesWoman)



    Why: (SPOILER ALERT!) after the death of StatesMan Ms. Liberty felt the best way to honor her grandfather was to take up his mantle thus StatesWoman was born

    (note I hope melding all three pics in to one was okay if not let me know and will separate them.)

    okay so I am just gonna add to this post as I submit my costumes if that is alright


    Vindicator:Aurora Borealis

    why: (again SPOILER ALERT!) After the fall death of Sister Psyche, Aurora Chose to honor her friend by dawning tribute attire so that she'd never be forgotten

    Vindicator:Aurora Borealis

    why: Aurora had helped train many young heroes and saw the changing fashions, though vanity should be a hero's last concern she still took a few moments of down time after the fall of Tyrant to visit icon and update her look.

    Vindicator: Luminary

    why: In logical duel effort to upgrade her abilities and fit in better with the human beings she interacts with each day Luminary downloaded her consciousness in to a new body complete with a dress facade.

    Vindicator: Valkyrie

    why: The War with the praetorian has taught Valerie Kellum one thing you can never be too armed, to that end she had a new suit of armor constructed one that utilizes the nanites in her body and the components of the spear to her strength through centrifugal force, she further utilized this effect though wielding a larger sword. ((effectively changing her from a Broadsword scrapper to a Titan weapons Brute)

    Vindicator: Infernal

    why:Having grabbed a bit of the power from the well of incarnates for him self, his body began to change no longer able to contain the demon energies inside him self his armor burst off and his body cracked open spewing forth demonic flame it was all infernal could do to keep the energies from over whelming him.

    Vindicator: Woodsman

    Why: being a spirit some times has it's limitations, Also being limited to the wilds wasn't allowing him to serve his team the best he can so he gathered stone, bone, plant and flesh once again giving him a physical form.

    Vindicator: Woodsman (Now Nature's Legacy)

    why: Woodsman has always been the embodiment of the link between man and nature, this was proven once again as he found a young lady wounded and dying in the forests of eden, to save her he merged his spirit with hers imbuing her with his power and thus natures power as well she becoming his Legacy

    Vindicator:Swan

    why: Swan had started to feel that her costume made her look too posh, like she wasn't able to get down and dirty, to this end she dawned a new sexier and more sleek costume more in like with her comrads

    Vindicator: Ms. Liberty

    why: With things in the streets of paragon getting tougher as well as her duties filling her grandfather's shoes Ms. Liberty felt it was time for a tougher look

    Vindicator: Mynx

    why: Simply put she decided to change what cat pattern she was wearing and along with it the colors she wore modeling her new gear after the snow leopard and changing from tights to Leather she hoped to go from cute to sexy.

    Vindicator: Mynx (now Black Lioness)

    why: Katherine felt as if she wasn't taken seriously enough as a hero. so to that end she remade her image over dawning a helmet and new gear Black Lioness was born.

    Vindicator: Luminary

    Why: After many battles luminary had began to analyze weaknesses in her previous form and clearly being completely organic would have been difficult if not impossible, and that form too would have had weaknesses. Thus Luminary Began to work with Positron and Long bow on Biological Cybernetic hybrid, with a Titanium Skeleton and a skin made from a mix of liquid metals, synthetic flesh and living tissue she would now function with the flexibility of her human counterparts, the strength her previous for provided, and the enhanced ability to self repair by generating new "skin".

    Vindicator: Valkyrie

    why: Gaining further control over her nanites Valkyrie no longer felt the need for battle suit and opted for lighter armor which she infused with her nanites even flooding her Tattoos and sword etchings with them. Her new look purposely adopted for a more fearsome visage closer in line with her name sake.

    Vindicator: Infernal

    Why: as his Demon binding abilities grew his connection with the demon realms delved deeper and deeper soon reaching in to the lower circles spiting open his body with searing brimstone and hell fire and eventually allowing him access to the frozen depths in the bottom most pits of the underworld.

    Vindicator: Swan

    why: Even though swan has been blessed since birth with good fortune and has displayed phenomenal psychic abilities, she was eager to jump at the chance to gain more power to aid in her search for her parents. So, when I the Carnival of light offered just that opportunity she took it. Learning there ways she gained new found power and also dawned attire fitting her new power.

    but in the rules it says:

    The 3 required images should show the Front, Side, and Back of the character.
    Please do not submit more than 3 pictures or links per Vindicator.
  16. Question!

    Do you want Auras on or off so as to not obscure the costume?

    Also Xenophage could you tell me what archetype and powers your characters have?
    steel-penny another view of steel-penny - Steel penny is a Dual Pistol El Blaster (currently Hero lvl 46)
    Ultranationalist - Street justice/ will power scarpper (hero lvl 44)
    Ink & Paint Dark/dark Dominator (retooled to look like ink and paint) (hero lvl 28)

    I have some 50 +s but one is the guy in green in my sig who I have made attempts at my self and asking some one else to do that much flame work for bubkis seems a bit unfair... the other one I got done a year or so ago that I won in a forum contest and I still love it ^_^, that and the stories for these 3 are much more interesting imo
