Wild_Red

Happy Birthday

Unfortunatly with my life being a little unstable, as always. I can't guarentee to be available, so my attendance is very hit and miss. When it came to the Chum Island meet, it was always miss . I think it is a fab idea, I just wish I could have been more of a driving force, I just did not get the time.

Funny as always. Keep them coming

I think the term is air brushing. It's also what I used on most of the shading and highlighting too. It's really easy to build up the density of shading/colour with out losing any of the detail.

I think you are right about the face. It looks like someone's wiped dirt down him . I will go back top the drawing board with the technique for the hair and see if I can improve it . thanks for the pointers.

I really do like your style Dr, this piece is very elegant too.

Very nice peice ML, it brought a tear to my eyes. I never had the pleasure of getting to know Mighty. He is obviously missed around here.

I have been a long time admirer of all the work people post up on these forums for a while now. Both the stories and the art work have all impressed me. From now on I am going to try to be more verbal about it too

I have been deliberating over if I should post this up or not as it is the best piece of art I have done for years. I have been in a brave mood the last few days so.... here is my contribution to the forum. My line art sucks so I took the proportions from a screen shot.

Artic Fire I did this for a CoX friend of mine.

Character taking part: Wild Red
Level: 50
Times available: evening from 7pm and weekends. I am pretty flexible with a weeks notice .

That'd be interesting, especially if I bought Burned Ice out.

Now if we could just get Z to bring Cindersnap....

((Originally I was just going to leave this as Annie having a bad dream, hoping someone would wake her up. But it is an opportunity to introduce another players RP character and I am happy to help. Sorry it’s so long, I got carried away.))

The monsters in Annie’s dream started to take form beyond the usual grey shadows and fog that haunted her.

She slipped on some ice underfoot. There was a crunch of a booted foot as it ground the ice into the concrete next to Annie’s head. She looked up to see Fanservice bearing down on her. It took a moment for her to register the orange glow on the forehead. Annie scrambled away, tripping over her own wings. She saw another clone this time of Bill, his orange glow very obvious on his pale complexion. She changed direction and ran past more clones, a Nightseye clone took a swipe at her as she barrelled straight into the broad chest of Commander Union.

“Thank the hea….” Annie’s sentence was cut short as she looked up and saw the now familiar orange glow. She took a step back. “But the clones are dead, this can’t be real!” Annie started to panic, there had to be someone else here. She changed direction and ran again. Her panic was rapidly turning into fear as the only things she could find were more clones, each attempting to attack her, forcing her to change direction. An Amber Banshee clone clothes-lined her when she blindly changed direction. Annie kicked at the back of the clone’s knees forcing its legs to buckle under its own weight. A Gall clone stepped up and aimed a punch at Annie’s head. Annie moved quickly so the clone only hit the concrete where moved from.

Back on her feet Annie saw an opening and she ran for it. Breaking through the line of clones Annie stood before the glowing meteor, she took a step toward it. She looked down as something brushed against her leg. She looked down as saw a hand, it belonged to the PPD Officer she had seen trying to manage the crowds. He was badly cut up. Annie knelt down and felt for a pulse, she couldn’t find one. She closed his eyes; a terrible sadness welled up in her. Combined with the fear Annie already felt, she burst into tears.

After a moment she composed herself and wiped her face. She looked around; the clones had disappeared but she saw another body. She ran over and checked for a pulse again, nothing. There was a sudden shaft of light that burst through the gloom Annie saw all of the hero’s she had been fighting along-side at the crash site. All of them, dead. Even the robot had been smashed to pieces.

Annie took a step back, her tears flowed freely. Terrified that whatever had manifested itself and caused this damage, would come back or worse. Be rampaging its way across the city. No-one would be able to stop it if it could cause this carnage.

Annie sat down hugging her own knees and rocking.

Un-noticed less than two meters away stood The Knightmare . He was nothing more than a thick black smoke that disappeared into the fog of Annie’s dream. The only visible sign he stood there, was the violet glow of his eyes. Now this was a feast he had not been expecting.

“NO! It can’t be! It can’t be!” Annie kept repeating as she rocked back and forth.



Back in the real world, Annie looked like she was sleeping peacefully. She shouted out a single word “NO!” and fell further into a fitful sleep.

Annie's still form began to shiver. Her clothes were cold and wet from the moisture they had absorbed from the green goo she was lying in.

Annie was in a deep sleep, bought on by a concussion. Her dreams were filled with monsters and a never-ending fight. The world was turning to ice around her. She felt the need to stop the monsters; nothing she did had any effect on them. Then the monsters attacked Annie and her dream turned into a nightmare.

With the fog clearing Annie took a moment to take a look at the damage caused. The meteor had left a huge crater and the street was covered in green goo. Annie had to blink several times when she saw Bill.

"Wow a Zombie. Sorry I meant, wow an un-dead American. I think!" Annie's head was starting to feel like it was filled with cotton-wool again. She saw Commander Union still by the meteor. She looked in the direction he was and saw the civilian, her lamp-post lying next to the body.

"Thanks for the arm." She looked up and smiled, Brian could see her eyes were slightly unfocused. She had to tip her head back so far that her hood slipped from her head. Underneath the hood Annie had a gash that started on her forehead and reached around to her ear.

Putting all her weight on her own feet Annie took a step toward Commander Union. Her knees gave way after the first step. Even though Annie's mutated bone structure allowed her to absorb large impacts, that fall must have caused more damage than she realised.

"So tired! No-one minds if I go to sleep?" She mumbled as she lay down where she had fallen.

Annie had almost run out of energy and her storm disappeared. She lent on Brian's offered arm.

"Do you think it's over?" she looked at the broken meteor and saw Union and the Shivan standing down. She let go of the gravity field and collapsed against Brian. Even though she had her full weight on him, she weighed next to nothing.

Annie's storm was in full force and happily raging away over the clones. Annie turned her attention back to the meteor. She staggered slightly, not quite as stable on her feet as she should have been.

She could see the two big guys and the shivan taking on the meteor. She carefully added the gravity field again, reducing it's size so it only affected the core of the meteor. Concentrating putting as much pressure as possible into the small area.

Annie had heard Union's words through the fog that filled her mind. Her blue eyes snapped open as pain seared through her head. There were a lot more heroes around the meteor than Annie had realised and she didn't know any of them.

She raised a hand to her head, she could feel a lump. As she pulled back her hand she could she blood on it.

"It must have been where I hit the floor." she thought.

She could see the Shivan and a big man attacking the meteor. She saw the doppelgangers ambling toward the meteor. She unsteadily got to her feet. She summoned every ounce of strength she had. Raising her arms she produced a storm to knockback the clones.

Annie was concentrating so hard on the gravity field surrounding the centre of the meteor, she didn't notice the change of direction the clones had made.

Annie cried out as some sort of blast hit her back. Followed by another hit on the shoulder. With her focus gone the gravity field dissipated.

Annie looked around, her eyes widening with fear as she saw all of the clones making their way toward her. Before she had a chance to move she was struck by what looked like a blast of kheldian energy. The force of the blow flipped Annie in the air like a doll.

Injured and exhausted, Annie's wings were useless as she plummeted to the ground.

Annie saw the tentacle and with a beat of her wings she rose several feet away from it.

"Think logically Annie." She scolded herself for not paying more attention at school. "We know it came from outer-space. The rock shell was probably for protection and there is no gravity in space...." Her face lit up with what she hoped would be a bright idea.

Taking into account the man stood quite close to the meteor, Annie focused her power almost to a half metre square. Aiming for the centre of the meteor she increased the gravity. With each moment of concentration she increased the gravity further. Hoping the pressure would crush the thing. Sweat started to bead on her forehead with the effort.

A huge YAY for the mission creator

Just to add my 2 inf

Annie flew straight up leaving the Shivan with the lamp-post. She change direction and flew toward the meteor. She had heard Amber Banshee's earlier broadcast but was a little too occupied to respond.

"Cut them off at the source." She said to herself. As she approached the meteor she raised a gale force wind to clear the fog and get a good look at the meteor.

Annie didn't miss the concern in Union's eyes. She didn't want to leave him to face the powerful clones alone. But she did as she was asked.

Annie floated the lamp-post she had destroyed her own clone with, over to the Shivan.

"Well I guess the world has gone crazy." She said as she landed next to Steve. She looked up at the Shivan "I hope you can understand me! You need to hit the orange glow. You can have that lamp-post."

She turned and saw Commander Union on his knees. The four clones not giving him a chance. Annie couldn't stand there and watch. She decreased the gravity around the clones floating them away from Union. Giving him even the smallest amount of time to recover. She also sent him a boost of oxygen.

"I hope it's enough." She whispered.

Annie sidestepped as she saw the lamp-post heading straight for her. She watched as it sailed by, she saw the civilian too late. Annie could only hold her hand over her mouth as she watched her lamp-post crush the civilian. Her heart dropped into her stomach at the tragedy.

She heard Union's roar behind her, as she turned she saw even more clones ambling out of the mist, too many to count.

"Oh no!" She exclaimed. She saw at least 5 more clones of herself and Union. They were having enough trouble with one. She flew over to Union who was battling his clone and tried to get his attention.

Starting to get scared now, Annie kept backing away. She let out a yelp when Commander Union tackled his own clone.

This bought her the time she needed. She opened up another rift. "Please give me another lamp-post." She whispered and her luck held out.

"Heads up!" she yelled as propelled the lamp-post end on, with all the power she could muster, directly at the orange glow on the clones forehead.

"It's been really nice to talk to you Tracey. Perhaps we can do it again." Leo gave Tracey a broad smile.

Leo started to look agitated and kept glancing at the door.

"Maybe we should go, before I lose my nerve." With each passing moment Leo became more worried about seeing his sister again.

((We have a full team for the ITF. Have fun everyone, wish me luck I think I'm the only Villian unless Emporor Lol brings his ))
