Ho. Lee. AWESOME!

That is very much WIN! Thank you very much! I am sooo happy right now!

[/ QUOTE ]

That, sir, makes a man feel proud. Glad I could put a smile on your face.

As with all pics, if you'd like the original scan in 300dpi, please PM me with your email address and I'll mail it to you.

Bring on the Night!... uh, Nightwolf that is. Kheldarn's Savannah Nightwolf keeps me on track for week and sketch #2.

Whew.

How many is that left?

Just linking to this post here to make sure my thread doesn't get axed. I have pictures to do! Hopefully I should have something more to post this afternoon.

better screenies

[/ QUOTE ]

Thanks for those! I will get to them when I can. I'm gearing up for sketch/week 2.

[ QUOTE ]
careful Chill, you're starting to loose your qualification for being the "anti-fast" artist.

Still, the sketch is good. Really looking forward to the others.

[/ QUOTE ]

This wasn't like one of my big pieces, but part of this endeavor is me learning how to be quicker on the draw (so to speak). Glad you like it!

[ QUOTE ]
Very nice, thank you Chill.

[/ QUOTE ]

Quite welcome. If your corruptor uses Freeze Ray as much as mine, I'm sure you found it appropriate.

If any of you want the full 300dpi scan of the sketch, feel free to PM me your email address and I'll email it to you.

Winter is here!

... I always wanted to do that.

Yup. Sketch 1 of 5 is done. Thanks very much to everybody for being nice and supportive. You are making this an exceptionally positive experience for me and I appreciate that.

Hmm.. whats dis? Mr. Chill here is offering to do sketches? Oh what's dat? He's crazy? So am I. ...If you'd be willing to, I'd greatly appreciate it. If not, oh well.

[/ QUOTE ]

Hey FireArms! Thanks for your interest. I am only doing the free sketches for those that responded within the first 24 hours. I had to draw the line in the sand somewhere. Sorry.

I will, however, be doing this again in the future, so I will reread through this thread and try to give priority to those I wasn't able to get through the first time around.

[ QUOTE ]
I'll definitely be stalking...er, watching you, that is. Very generous offer, very cool thing to do! Can't wait to see the results And welcome.

[/ QUOTE ]

I saw you add me to your watch list in DA just before this hit. In fact, if you check my scraps, you might be surprised.

And thanks for the welcome!

[ QUOTE ]

I dare you to beat me! I've got a piece, still unfinished, that has been lingering in my queue for what... almost two years now (not quite, just checked and it will be 2 years on March 27)... Shoot, I've had a baby since then and he's almost 1!

Luckily I don't charge because of my slowness.

I'd submit screenies, but you've got more than enough to overwhelm you as it is. As someone who is slow and has a ton of other things on their plate, I know how that can just rip all the steam out of your engine. I look forward to seeing any finished pieces.

[/ QUOTE ]

Thanks for not trying to overwhelm me. Seriously, though. If you look on my spartan DA page, you can see the stuff I posted as incomplete. The pencil drawing of the fantasy hero with the dragon behind him, I started that in the 90s. It was supposed to be a christmas present for a friend. He and I don't talk anymore, so I don't feel quite so bad about not finishing.

But yeah, being a parent seems to stretch your time all sorts of odd ways. I speak as the father of a four year old. Here's to hoping both of us find some time for art in the coming year.

You guys really made me feel welcome, so thanks bunches. I was reviewing pictures of everyone this morning over my eggs and toast and came to the conclusion that you really don't make it easy on a guy. I have decided on my first five, and they will be:

Baron Winter
DieselMeat
Kai
Schreodinger's Cat
Savannah Nightwolf

So thanks, guys, I'll start working on your pieces.

But, wait, Chillkiller, did you say "first five?" Oh yeah, about that... I decided to do sketches for everyone who submitted up to my self-imposed deadline of this morning. So I will be doing sketches for the rest of you as well, and will post the next block of five up as soon as I'm done with these. They may be a bit more rough than the five I originally promised to do, but I want to thank you all by making sure everyone gets something.

I'd tell you that you can thank me later, but please thank me now because I may be too exhausted later to understand ... those... things... what'd you call them? Words!

Man I need more sleep... or coffee... or both...

[ QUOTE ]
Rarr, how am I always too late for these?

[/ QUOTE ]

Not too late. I was going to give it 24 hours.

The tough part will be sticking to just five. Thankfully I'm very encouraged I will want to do more after that.

[ QUOTE ]
I can't help but point you toward this by Rizerax.

Look familair?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, it was my inspiration for remaining anonymous for so long.

[ QUOTE ]
lol


I think ya fit right in here Chill, welcome to the forums (posting wise). Looking forward to seeing these sketches.

[/ QUOTE ]

Glad you think I fit in. I blame you for this.

Who am I kidding? I blame me for this. Ah, me, you cunning foe, what have you gotten us into this time?

:: Makes a sudden movement on Chill::

[/ QUOTE ]

GAH! How do you lurk so well in such bright colors?

Also... I think your Crestent link is busted. Thankfully my DA search-fu is mighty.

[ QUOTE ]
And if you would like to know my reasons for making the offer: I am begining work on a project that I will need at very least 1 artist for, and preferable 3-5 artist. However, I want to know I can trust each one to get the jobs assigned to them done and in a reasonable amount of time. Plus I don't like taking anything for free, so I always offer to pay or compensate in some fashion.

[/ QUOTE ]

I am not the king of speed. If anything I am the anti-fast artist. I would never lie and say otherwise, even for free game time and awesome swag.

I do hope you find people you can rely on. Having worked with other, faster, artists I know I know in real life, it can be a bit frustrating.

[ QUOTE ]
OKay, how about a 1 month of game time plus the 30 jet pack?

[/ QUOTE ]

You, sir, are exceptionally kind. Please do not take offense when I say no for right now. I want to see the free sketches done first. Then I will more than happy to mercenary myself away.

[ QUOTE ]
it was just 5 pieces you were offering right? Or were you gonna pick the 5 toons you thought looked the coolest? Or like pick the toons of hte five people that begged the hardest?

well whatever, I'll throw Torroes Prime into the mix. And if ya need encouragement, I can offer that too.

[/ QUOTE ]

Begging is fine. Also accepted: Polite Asking, Threats, Physical Violence, Offering Sex, Withholding Sex, Beer, Toast, Pretending to Like Me, Buying me Things, Warm Handshakes, Cold Milkshakes, Compliments, Insults disguised as Compliments, Generally paying attention to me in some form or another... in short, I'm easy.

Five pieces for now. More to come provided I don't drive myself insane with worry over those.

[ QUOTE ]
...You're not a zombie, are you?

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm dead on the inside... does that count?

[ QUOTE ]
Though, I have to wonder if you yet realize the thing you've done. Saying 'free art' is like shaking a bell at a room full of kittens.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, I understand. Thankfully you're all very polite kittens!

... now please put down the sword ...

[ QUOTE ]
Me please! I'd love it if you took a crack at either my hero, Storm Devil, or my villain, Baron Winter.

Thanks if you choose me, can't wait to see what you come up with even if you don't.

[/ QUOTE ]

Hot Tamales, that was a quick reply!

Thanks for the screencaps, that's helpful. Also helpful for those that reply would be Hero/Villian status and powerset (you know, the typical SS/INV Tank or Fire/Fire Blaster descriptors we all know and love). I don't know if I'll need that information, but I do prefer to have it.

Thanks!

Ok, as noted by Thor's Assassin in this thread here I did him some free art. I was planning to do more and then introduce myself more formally, but I was discovered first in the midst of being lazy. So if you don't mind, I'll use you all to motivate me.

Hi! I'm Chillkiller. I don't post, like, ever. I have been playing the game since launch, though. I'm all over the servers with characters and have a few 50s, but mostly a bunch of alts with pretty costumes because I like playing dress up and pretending I can shoot lazers out of my eyes.

I do this because I love comics and comic related things, such as my Spider-Man underroos that are way too small for me anymore as a grown man and I really should just be quiet.

I'm happy to offer 5 free sketches starting today. I will attempt to knock out one per week until I'm done, at which time I'll see how much you all like them and how much my hand hurts. Samples of my art, including the sketch I did of TA, are right over here on this DA site. I hope you enjoy them and ask me for free art. Based on my knowledge of the Fan Art forum, and by offering free pics, I might as well be leaping into the Amazon River with open wounds at this point.

I'm happy to meet you all and I hope I can be as active as my busy schedule will allow.

Disclaimer: I will probably pick people that I think I can represent well at first. I will try to move on to more challenging characters as my confidence improves. Thanks for your interest!

Disclaimer 2: The artist assumes there is interest when there may, indeed, be none. Thank you for not insulting the artist for his folly.

Disclaimer 3: If you have chosen to insult the artist, we thank you for doing it in a respectful way that does not harm his fragile ego. He lives in a world of imagination where his only constant friends are his drawings and his glass menagerie.

Disclaimer 4: The artist is a bit wacky. By wacky, we mean insane. Please do not make sudden movements.

TA by Chillkiller - This one was just thrown up on DA, I was browsing through DA and found it but accident lol. But the posing and details really rock on this piece and i am very grateful! Thanks man if your reading this.


[/ QUOTE ]

Quite welcome! I've been meaning to do more and then offer them as showcase pieces for anyone that might want commissions from me. But I'm slow... and pretty busy with like a million other things. But maybe if I take a couple of freebies from folks, it will get me motivated to do them.

If you want to PM me an email address, I'm more than happy to send you the full resolution digital scan.
