_darque_

We managed to secure our globals (the bf actually reserved Darque for me, as well as getting his namesake Wyld Chyld)

Those two will be played once Street Justice goes live, and are re-makes of our Infinity duo.

I was happy to nab Idris (time/sonic).
And together, we got Wibbly-Wobbly and Timey-Wimey

And I got Felistricity, who was promptly transferred to fill the name as soon as it went live.

Sadly, the bf's Chronal Anomaly was already taken, so he used Chronal Anomalies

Beyond that, there weren't too many I tried to get.

Poison and venom both imply inherent delivery systems.

EG: spines. Inject poison? Incorrect. Venom is injected.

Poison, toxin, venom are terms for any substance that injures the health or destroys life when absorbed into the system, especially of a higher animal. (dictonary.com)

I remember running a few things with you way back in the day, Moses And a very nice Moonfire the other day Been away for a while, so I'll bite:

The Digital You

Who are you most well known as in-game? I mean character, but maybe you have an inappropriate nickname, and that could be fun too. I'm @darque in-game, character most played Darque Willow...although I have a brigade of toons with Felis preceding their name that I'm working on.

What have you been doing in-game lately? Learning how to IO, Incarnate, etc. I was away a while.

What do you enjoy the most in-game? I love TFs, good teams...but lately I've been enjoying teaching my 7-year-old the game, so I duo a lot with her, and trio with her and @wyldchyld.

Praetoria, Mercy Island, or Atlas: Which is your preferred landing destination? Love Praetoria

How long have you been playing City of Heroes? I first picked it up right before CoV launched. Took a long-ish break wherein I became hugely addicted to WoW. Followed @wyldchyld back back here after hearing about Freedom and I21.

Why did you originally choose to play and/or stay on Infinity? Eenie, meenie, miney moe. I just liked the name.

What are your plans for "Freedom"? I plan on rolling a time defender...beyond that, I dunno.

The Real You

What is best in life? Family, friends, being together.

What is your favorite movie? Blade Runner. Dirty Dancing. Princess Bride. Oldies, but goodies. Something I can pop in pretty much any time when I'm working and just enjoy

What is your favorite book? Currently, the Kushiel series.

Outside of CoH, what are your favorite games? Hmm...I'm not playing a lot other than WoW currently. I played WoW excessively, as mentioned above. Dabbled in RIFT. And I'm known to occasionally go nuts for console games of the Final Fantasy/Dragon Age type.

Sports: Yes? No? Favorites? Teams? Players? Do you play any yourself? I neither play nor watch sports.

Care to share the vision that is you? Pictures from 6-7 years ago of me can be found here un/fortunately (depending on perspective). I believe I'm on there somewhere...tandem photo with Wyld.

What keeps you from playing City of Heroes for gross stretches of time? (Kids, jobs, spouses, other hobbies, fill in the ______.) Artwork, three kids, the snake collection.

And finally, have you blurred the lines between my two neat categories? Do you play in-game with anyone you know "IRL," to use one of those dreaded stereotypical abbreviations that haunt the gamers' reputation?[/QUOTE] I blurred it a lot at first...I met @wyldchyld in-game...now he lives with me and we play the game together My kids and husband also play. So we have our own ready-made TF group (for anything under four players...we don't have enough computers for all six of us to be on at once). Other than that, none of my RL friends know the game addict in me

thanks all...appreciate the kind words

A few more pieces I've finished in the past week:

My newish Ill/Kin, Perinetic (blame Katy Perry for the name. It's been a long-standing tradition of mine to name toons for whatever song is playing on Pandora at the time of creation...Katy Perry's Hot and Cold came on when I needed a name. As the toon has nothing to do with either fire or ice...she's Perinetic
Perinetic

La Petit Mort, dark/dark corr (this is the SFW version, the NSFW is available to see on dA):
Mort

And Del Morosa, demon/pain MM (just a sketch, but likely to be the next color):
Del

heh...the pencils always seem to turn out better than my colors

Planning on sticking around for a while.

Explanations are on my dA account (did this a bit ago when they first started cropping up): my influences

It's been a long time since I've posted anything here...of course, it's been quite a while since I played CoH. Came back for Going Rogue, and I think I've drawn more than I've played (which is good, since I'd been in a bad artist slump before that)...

Anyway, some art:
br0k3n
Morte
Darque

All pictures linked are safe for work, although there are images on my main dA account that are definitely NSFW

I tried Muro briefly when it was introduced...but as someone pointed out, the lag isn't terribly friendly, and since I couldn't find an option to introduce my own sketches (I never start from scratch in Photoshop, but always import my pencil sketches...because most of my sketching is done away from the computer)

It was fun to play around with though, and for people who don't have Photoshop as an option, it may well be a good choice.

thanks It's good to be back

thanks for posting the contest Just re-upped our subscriptions and have been working on Cities art again. Gives me something to do with it

I agree 100% with Su-Lin. I've had several people give very loose guidelines, and when I'm finished, they want something completely different (up to and including adding another person to the finished image).

If you have something specific in mind, be specific about what you want. If you give an artist free rein, then you run the chance of being disappointed.

Hey Darque! At least I'm sharing a boat with someone I like *hug*

Between financial problems and a lot of real life difficulties, monies are a big issue for the holidays. So consider my commission queue open:
Clickie for info and samples

I will do pictures based on CoH, WoW, or original character ideas.

PMs here, notes on dA, or emails to toxiclight@gmail.com.

I thank you and my kids thank you

Also, would you like a basic fudge recipe typed up? I'm going to be making a couple of batches, so I'll have one on hand. Brownies, too.

Those are the ones I happen to have online at the moment. The rest haven't been scanned in yet.

Dunno about LadyK, but I wouldn't mind the brownie recipe

congratulations!!!

Since I haven't gotten any volunteers (QQ) to do a sit in at the Meet and Greet, I'm trying to put together a possible raffle or auction.

I'm bouncing ideas around here.
<ul type="square">[*] We could set up an auction with a commission or an already created piece where you(the artist) get cash from it. [*] We could do a raffle where people buy a ticket for the drawing and you get the earnings.[*] We could set up a table and have people pay for sketches.[*] We could give out numbers at the door and do a drawing for people who get their picture done.[/list]
Any other ideas would be awesome too.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'd be willing to be involved in either of the first two...

w00t!

Gonna have to give Wyld a big kiss...he suggested the number

Thanks

Once again, post submissions for the next City Scoop please!

Thank you
