Wait no longer...
Click above and you shall find. -
Welcome! Come on in and make yourself at home. Most the current inmates are pretty tame but it has been a while since Amerikatt pounced so you may want to stay on your toes...

Nice to see Neko willing to help out someone in need!
Nice comic, made me smile... -
First up, two pieces by PlayWorkArt. These are from the battle commissions he did recently. The idea was that viewer votes first decided which character fought which and then another round of voting decided the outcome. Unfortunately I lost both battles but I think I was a bit distracted in both fights...
Colors not done yet but I decided to share anyway
Next up is a group piece by Romantogob. He was offering an Epic Poster commission and it sounded.... Well, epic.The colors are also yet to come on this piece as well, seems the artist just hasn't been satisfied with his attempts to do the line work justice yet...

Freaking awesome! Congrats on the catch... of art and screenshot
-
Well having somehow managing to eek out a win in the other one, I'm going to not enter this one so as the arts can get spread around. Not that I think I'd actually win again but it's also an excuse for not winning again :P
Still, I have to throw one caption out there:

This is highly illogical! -
Already commented on the pic in the other thread... So here I'll just say thanks for all the congrats!
And thanks to CR for the contests. Very cool of you to do.
I'll also say that I was also suprised more people didn't take advantage of the 3 captions per image angle... I've no doubt my doing so is what put me over the edge as I don't think any of mine were very original or gut busters... I just figured if I threw enough crap up in the air that hopefully some of it would land someplace useful. -
Awesome job, sir! And great choice of pose, it really gives it a great vibe!
-
Totally digging the colors and the art of the latest piece. Specially the colors... But then again, I always love seeing things done in an unusual or unique way.
-
Having already glimpsed the full scene of each pic I gotta say I can't wait to see the final version!!
-
Actually, looking back at the pics you posted, I changed my mind.... Come back NOW!!!
Or, you know... As soon as you can! -
Something tells me that when City of Cowboys opens, VexXxa is ditching us all
But it's a great piece of art. Fabulous work on the details. -
*hugs*
Take care of yourself and do whatever you need to do to deal with this loss. We'll be here for you when/if you decide to come back or just need an escape for a little while. In the meantime, you will be missed. -

"I should lay off the Thin Mints, should I????"
"This'll teach you not to carry those boots in a flame pattern!"
And that was the last time an Icon tailor accidentally pricked her with a needle...

"Umm, you know those things grow in... errm nevermind."

When you're Freakshow death is certain. Gravity? Not so much.
"Err, he does know we're not here for the Freakshow porno shoot, doesn't he?"
"Seriously? His browser history is nothing but LOLCats!:

When an Abomination unleashes it's signature Gas Attack even other Vahlizok choose the quick way out!
"I HATE when I forget to attach the bungee cord!"
"I should have had a V8!"
Yeah yeah yeah, I just figured I'd get in quick, get the obvious and lame out of the way, them make room for those with real wit.... -
You also have to throw into the mix that these aren't professional judges voting based on a clear set of criteria but rather just random Schmitz voting based on whatever they feel like. Some may value technique over concept, some may feel fitting the theme is most important. Still, some may vote just for friends, to encourage people or based on how well they artist did compared to perceived talent level. Heck, there's probably almost as many different combinations of what is considered as there are voters...
Personally my votes are all contingent upon what the alien who lives in my shoe tells me to vote for... -
Overall I really like this theme, a game within the game which the artists can do easily or really jump into whole hog...
But I did pm you one suggestion, cause I always have an opinion -
Ok, massive art dump time since a bunch of things either came in recently or I just "found" them...
First up, the set of arts by Geekboy500 that just got completed:
Each of these arts are meant to convey a moment or a story in the characters life rather than just the typical heroic pose or fight scene...
Daybreaker Alpha at rest. Sometimes, after a hard day (or night) of crime fighting you just need to unwind a bit so here we have Alpha catching the highlight of his battle on PNN (Paragon News Network) while enjoying a cold, relaxing adult beverage...
Image is also meant to convey how the armor is always hoving around him as well, always hanging over his shoulder and never letting him fully relax.
Fenian Wolf is a clone with flaws... Not only did the powers not fully transfer, and thus faded soon after her "birth" but the DNA is constantly breaking down at an unnatural rate. Thus, even under the best of circumstances, each clone only has a "shelf life" of 3 months or so before it just breaks down and dies. Luckily FenWolf found herself a sympathetic scientist (Doc M) who not only set up a constant recurring line of clones so a new one is ready at each death, but also developed a technology which allows Fenian Wolf's hlemet record every thought, memory and feeling and transmit them so they can be implanted onto the next clone... So despite each death, she lives on.
The one drawback is that Fenian Wolf cannot take off the helmet or any experiences, thoughts, etc she has while it is off will be lost forever... Thus she almost never removes the helmet.
Still, here we have her having a introspective moment reflecting on the morality and reality of this "life" she lives...
Caemgen orders food... a lot. With a face like his it's hard to have a decent meal out at a resteraunt. Throw in the fact that he grew up isolated from people, hidden away and feeling freakish... And he just really doesn't leave the apartment much unless it's to fight crime. Even answering the door he tries not to be seen...
Fenian was pushed into being a "crime fighter" by the Family muscling in on her friend and boss' film business. Still, even after taking up the life she never took it too seriously, relying on skimpy outfits and not being one of the "big name" heroes to keep her identity secret... To deadly results.
Here we have the scene Fenian came home to after a day of trying to clean up the docks... Seems the Family found out who she was and tried to send a message to her through the one she loved.
After this, Fenian took the whole thing a lot more seriously, actually starting to study magic to make herself more powerful as well as taking to wearing a mask most times while out superheroing...
Honestly, Gorm Diabhal has the least fleshed out story to her life and it was even less fleshed out when I was ordering this pic... But she's new to this reality and is not used to the customs and such... So I thought her eating a canary would be amusing
Next up is some arts by the one, the only, the Foo!
I feel a bit bad that I almost missed this piece! Foo had down a piece on Fenian Wolf (the one of her giving the backwards peace sign) and Foo was a bit slow in sending the final, full sized files... And when he did he slipped in this piece of art as well! I almost missed it since I never looked at the files until just recently. And that would have been a huge shame cause I think this is a totally awesome piece with a fantastic pose!!
Finally, a long overdue piece by Aposcar.
And the colored version:
Egads, I think this piece was a set of three bought... a year plus ago? But I don't hold that against the artist and I don't think you should either. Aposcar kept in regular contact with me, apologizing often for the delay and I continually told him to take his time. I never hurry artists and all I ever ask is that they keep in contact with me so I know the piece was forgotten about... And Aposcar did this so I had no worries.
Anyway, I love this piece. -
I just want to throw a disclaimer out that any art I've gotten/had done of my characters is open for this. All I'd ask is that if the artist is a CoH denizen that you check with them first... And those said local denizens who've done my chatacters, feel free to offer up those arts if you wish.
And besides that, I can't wait to see what you all come up with! -
No rhyme, I don't have the time. So a quick 84 and I'm out the door...
