Ok, I know I'm a little weird, and on occasion I take a concept I like and beat it into the ground. Well some might say that I've beaten this concept to the ground, and I'd like to see a fresh take on it. And what better way than to hold a contest. I have 10 million infamy available on Liberty I'm willing to award as a prize, as long as there's at least 10 entries. Even if only 1 enters, I'm willing to let go of at least 1 mil.

Here's how it works. You build a costume based around the name "Burnt Matchstick". Yes, I can feel you rolling your eyes, but I enjoy the concept and would love to see someone else's take on it. The only requirement is that the costume should match well with the name in one way or another. Preferably not an obscure or "if you squint your eyes and turn your head, it kind of fits" way.

So there you go. I'll pop in here with one of my own creations now and then, unless of course this thread just falls off the face of the forum, in that case so be it. Good luck!

Ghoulish Ghouly Gal.. err.. wind storm ghouls... ect...

I wouldn't say ick, mayby w-ick-id because it looks really awesome. Those are really great creepy looking ghoulies. And her eyes are normal, as normal as a ghoul can be anyway. Looking forward to seeing the finished results.

Here's a brief bio/description

Ghoulish is a culmination of tortured spirits taken by harsh storms of every shape and size. They have been drawn into the wind and rain itself and taken her own ghoulish form. Able to control the ghoulish weather and summon the ghoulish undead creatures to do her ghoulish bidding, she works her ghoulish ways upon the ghoulish masses ghoulish. Although ghoulish she is a mass of ghoulish ghouls and therefore ghoulish doesn't always have a ghoulish thought for her ghoulish self. Ghoulish ghoulish ghoulish ghoulish ghoulish ghoulish ghoulish.

Her face is framed by the white eye of the storm surrounded by the black night around her face. Tendrils of black lightning caress her snow white body and wrap all the way around to her black, undead claws.


In other words, I feel like it's black lightning on her body. She is a necro/storm mastermind.

That was neat, I had to try:

Wyndine,(Reference)

Bear in mind, I am by no means an artist by any sense of the word. It was fun though.

One thing I'm a little curious about with the Dev's Choice entries. Will they show which dev picked it? It would be great to see which dev has what tastes.

Though that may or may not be a good idea, as getting picked by BaBs might be seen as having more weight than being picked by random non red-named dev #12.

Results are in. Came out nicely

And apparently fast too. Looks like Nike turned out great for you.

Wow, I'm really impressed with both pieces. And I'm inspired by your most recent work, and the fact that I haven't seen a cut-off yet, to try my own hand at a piece from the Foo. One that I think would look absolutely fabulous in your style should you so choose.

Ghoulish, (2nd pic)

Man, I wish we had a second bio screen, because I really like the way that turned out. Wishing myself luck!

I just thought of one that would be fun to play, but I have too many alts at the moment to make yet another one. I wouldn't say I "suffer" from alt-itis, but a guy's got to know his limits. Anyway, it's a bit dated, but it would be a fun "RP" character named Memento Morrie who looks like Sammy Jenkis from the movie Memento and you have fun with the short term memory loss concept.

Love the name of the piece, that would make a great character name. Looks really great so far, love the pose, my only suggestion is the horns could be a bit bigger. Other than that, looking excellent!

Ghoulish could look pretty good anime-ish.

An action shot of Wyndine, I think it could have come out better, but it's not too bad.

I'm just in a good mood and wanted to offer a warm thanks to all the great artists in the CoX community that often offer works of art to us lucky forumites. I've had the pleasure of getting a few free pieces and I wanted to show my appreciation to all of the hard work that goes into them. I really enjoy being a part of this section of the forums, even though I'm not much of an artist myself, I merely try to contribute a little with the occasional screenshot and costume contest/show off/help thread. But it's a really great feeling to see the characters I dreamed up in art form, some as I would have never imagined, but they've all brought a smile to my face and I really do appreciate them all.

So there you have it, hope I'm not coming off as mushy, or weird. But a personal thank you again to Images by Alex, John Printemps, Projectionist, Derek the Awesome, and TechnicDragon (even though I don't think I found him through the CoX boards). As well as Tartyrsauce and Lady Judgment, I appreciate being included in your current projects, and can't wait to see all the results.

Here's an action shot of Wyndine as well.

This was a tough call between Tartyrsauce, Juggertha, and Alex.

My vote goes to Alex by a baby hair.

And now a demonstration of my octopus crossbow. Hey wait, what the!

saw this the other day and made me think of this thread. I think you'll see why.

Nice, big list you got there. I appreciate being on it. Although since the focus is on mains, I'll change my character to the one closest to being my main. One of my first characters and highest hero: Wyndine

Hericane is awesome, and so was that video.

"Synapse! Take your ritalin."

Not exactly a newbie I don't think, not quite a year here in the art forums, maybe 6-9 months or so, and not as vocal as some of the other regulars. But always enjoy looking at the great art, and starting to amass a small collection of freebies.

Have to decide on a character, and an ultimate version if deemed worthy. Probably one of my Burnt Matchsticks, I guess the first one, the Brute and only guy... and only one with more than one costume slot. I'm not overly familiar with the Ultimates, would the these count as before and after?

No one at all? Is it that bad? Or is it that good?

Awesome!

Wow, that was quick. And nice too, has a kind of Megaman feel to it. Looking forward to mine.

Seems like there's a lot of these today, and apparently I'm adding to the swell. Anyway, I made a Trick Arrow/Psi defender for the Trick Arrow Superteam on Justice named Rekai no Oni and I like where it's going, but I'm not entirely happy with it. Here's a shot of it And below is the costume code if you want to see it in game. I just got the samurai vet armor, and I like the mask and the color scheme for the most part, I just feel like there could be something a bit better. So any suggestions are appreciated. I have 18 months, and the Cyborg pack, and valkyrie soon, but not yet. Thanks!

Ghoulish would welcome a pic of herself. Necro/Storm Mastermind.

I've had a few, but for CCs I prefer the S&A board and often don't get many entries.

BTW, nice avatar, VexXxa.
