Thanks for the kind words guys.
I have an update I will post here shortly... I used to have a cheapo scanner but it's buried in storage
(along with most of my art and supplies) so I'm just shooting these with my digital camera for now.

Well damn CR that is looking very spiffy and a great subject for the gift art as well!
I am curious if ya used a reference as well as it resembles LJ but there are liberties that were taken that add quite nicely to her. Well done!
Lol any "liberties" are probably the result of my never having teamed with his hero LJ or seen her in-game before
and having no screenies or references to go off of.
So I got the bright idea to go hit DA, type in Lady Judgement and look at all the artz people had
done of her first... but that plan backfired since apparently no one from DA has ever teamed with her either!
(Yes I've heard of the Envisionaries, I'm only kidding other talented
artist type people who have drawn her
).
My other theory is that Bobby changes her costume around frequently to get the jump on villains in game
who think they are only fighting a LJ knock-off and not the real thing... hey ya never know... it could work.
All joking aside I'm honestly not sure exactly what her definitive costume should look like... in some pics
she has 3 white bone spikes on each shoulder, in others they are metal and in others she wears shoulder pads.
Some have her eye covers looking like sunglasses that go across the bridge of the nose and in others
they look like goggles or eyeplugs... in some pics they are rounded ovals and in others they are faceted and have
six sides. Sometimes the L and J are spread out one letter on each boob and sometimes they are in both
centered between them and the font changes (this one I can understand as there is no two letter
chest emblem in game so everyone is interpreting what they think it might look like) and finally in
some pics she looks short compared to other subjects in the image but according to the text responses
she is supposed to be 8ft tall. gah... >0.o<
Well to make a long story somewhat less long I chucked the full length sketch of her stomping a mob
of villains and went with a nice easy portrait instead lol
Thank you Suichiro.Quote:Originally Posted by Suichiro
Quite nice CR. Did you reference anything to make it? I've rarely seen anyone who could freehand draw organically like this. It's pretty impressive, if that's the case.
Well I'm not sure if you would call it a reference but since I couldn't get a clear consensus of what
she should look like I'm just going off the little pic of her in his avatar and "winging it."
Not exactly sure what you mean by organically... is there a type of drawing that has artificial flavoring?
Ack my secret is out and the theiftess of fonts is after me again!Quote:Originally Posted by VexXxa

I have other as impressive examples he's shown me... make him post them Vex! he's holding out on you...
Is that so, LJ?? CR!! Post your other artz for us!!! We want to see them too!! 
Well most of the stuff I've drawn is from years ago and I've either given it away, sold it or put it in storage (it was all on paper or canvas not digital).
I do however have a few sketches I've done in the last few weeks and one (what I would consider) high quality portrait I did a year or two ago that I guess I could post if people want to see em?

Well with BattleWraith and Cashoo and LJ doing all of this shiny free gift art I got inspired to pick up my jotter
and try a sketch. I don't have a tablet or any digital art skillz but I used to be pretty good with pen and paper...
granted it's been years since I've drawn anything but I figure hey it's like falling off a bike right?
Well who better as a victi.... err recipient than Lady Judegement aka Baquitainia.
Bobby has done plenty of gift art and has a great (really low price which cannot be named) sale running right now you
should all go and check out and I was just blown away with the 2 he has done for me
already (Chloe and Xllusya) so I figured I would do this to say thanks... so uhhh Thanks Bobby.
I'll post up progress as I go along but here is the basic sketch of his eponymous heroine Lady Judgement...
I got carried away and started coloring it already lol

I wondering if I should try to ink and color it with my paint program.
That shot makes me think of like a bullseye cam that follows the arrow as it thuds into the target, nice!
You should totally try and ink it and if you like the result color it too.
You get better by doing.
With all the gift art going on lately (BW, Pirate Cashoo, The Foo, etc) I'm even inspired to dust off the parker and
sharpies and see what I can come up with...

Cashoo's cox forum avatar is the infamous G Man from the Half-Life series, lol. I guess it's not as funny if you haven't played those games.
and really into drawing, painting, jewelry etc...
But I havent drawn anything in ages and for the last 4 years+ it's been nothing but CoH (except the
occasional HoMM WoG exp. or old school MAME Emulation) Yeah I've heard good things about the
series (MaximumPC gave HL2 it's only ever 11 out of 10 KickAss score) just never got around to it I guess.
Cool, well you have good taste in music if you like Adam AntQuote:Originally Posted by FrozenDeath
My first cox character, Battlewraith, was inspired by Tom Wait's lyrics:
"Paleface said to the Eyeball Kid
She just goes clank, and boom, and steam
A halo, wings, horns, and a tail.
shovelling coal inside my dreams"
So when I did my DA avatar I made a female face with a halo and horns. so what's the song I'll go check it out.
Nice!Quote:Originally Posted by FrozenDeath
The forum avatar here is a pic of another character, Mere Mal Faire, from a pic I did recently.

For about a year, people on Protector thought I was female. When I got outted as a guy, it spelled doom for my first and last lesbian relationship..sniff sniff...
Lol ELL (electronic lesbian love) is such a fragile thing.
Well both of you and Cashoo set a fine example with all of this shiny gift art and it's kind of got me inspired
to try something myself... even though I haven't drawn anything serious in ages and am really rusty I am
going to do a Thank You piece for Lady Judgement, Baquitania on DA, (another guy with a crossed-gender
avatar lol) I have no idea how it will turn out but I'll start a new thread with the sketch and we'll see.

Quote:D'oh typo!Originally Posted by FrozenDeath
Sorry BW I actually meant for the "her" to be about the girl in your sig with her arm around the
alien... I knew you were a guy already from reading through all your stuff on DA... my bad.
On a side note it occurs to me that, short of an avatar that periodically flashes "I'm a Dude!"
or "I'z a Chick yo!", there's not really any good way for people to know on these forums is there?
Oh and if anyone does implement a blinky avatar gender telling-thing for forums make out the royalty check to Christopher R...
Ironically Cashoo's avatar here is a guy even though she is a girl and both your avatars here and
on DA are female even though your a guy so I guess mixups are bound to happen... if you don't mind
my asking BW what is the story behind your avatars?
P.S. Hey Cashoo I see your DA avatar is one of your mains in CoX but what's the story behind your CoH forum
avatar... a favorite piece you did... or something more?
P.P.S Just so this isn't a total threadjack I love the way the finished piece turned out!

Quote:Can't speak for Cashoo or anyone else here but yeah you are being pushy.Originally Posted by Proud Citizen
I hope I'm not being pushy
[/IMG]
Several people who have posted full screenshots have not gotten works done here for free
and several who only posted links have gotten them done so that's not an issue.
I doubt she "missed" your post, she (Cashoo) has already said she is going out of order and this
is not a first come first serve so your being on the first page shouldn't matter either... I'm on page 4
and people both "ahead" of and "behind" me have gotten pieces done so if I had to guess I'd say she
is cherry-picking/doing the ones that catch her eye or inspire her. If you start reposting stuff it will just
confuse things/annoy her.
She is being really nice to the community and doing these great pieces completely free so the least you can do is be patient...
If you are dying to have your hero done there are plenty of other very talented artists here and on DA
(if you need suggestions just ask and the community will steer you right) that are having rock-
bottom sales right now (many under $20... some less than $10) that could use the work so spread the love.
If however you are dying to have your hero done by Cashoo (I can see why you would) then you should
commision her. Otherwise if she wants to do your hero she will... and if not well then don't ruin it for the rest of us. Peace. -

Looking so beautiful. I absolutely adore the costume you're giving her! I'd actually like to draw her in that too...it's so cute and sexy. The jacket is awesome. Love the addition of the skull and scope. I must ask....is that a compass on her jacket shoulder pad-thing?

Anyway, you're actually top of the list at the moment
Is that list posted anywhere?...
Or more to the point did Xllusya, Chloe or my cutification challenge (Kinquito) make it onto the list

Sweetness! Man I love how this turned out... this pose with the halo shining down looks beautiful!
I'm going to have to get a full length one done at some point similar to this so I can see the wings
and the rest of the armor too.
Great work Bobby!
***Goes to DL big image and stare***
P.S. I appreciate you going the extra mile on the pencil sketch too widening the eyes a bit and narrowing
the chin it really shines through for me in the finished piece. Thank you

Toxic Shia: Ahahahahhahahahahhahah lol snort ahahah. heh... Mr Clean... he's bald like
Positron... get it... Too funny, and a great piece of art as well. Only a true fan would
ever willingly go through PTF more than once. Also bonus points for tieing in a previous months
entry by Lousy day in the form of the poster on the wall to add to your piece. If I could con/crit
anything it would be the shadows... one of the speech bubbles has a drop shadow and the other
doesn't and the shadow at the base of the toilet doesn't have her leg in it etc... minor deets only
though, truly this is one of your funniest pieces ever. Nice!
The Foo: Your piece was pretty damn funny too. Very clever the way the autograph covered his chest emblem
in the first panel just enough to make you wonder... is it really him? NOPE! It's superman clone number 638 heh.
Then in the last panel even the villains tied up in the background are laughing at him HA! what a diss.
Good stuff Foo. Oh and even though it's fixed now the "Slay" made me chuckle because I know a villainess that
wears pink and has a ponytail.
Lousy Day:
Impressive colors as always and you manage to sum up the theme with minimal clean forms. Visually it's like the
opposite of Shia's piece... drunk and passed out in a cold and dark toilet versus bright sunny and bounding energetically
out the door to snap a once in a lifetime photo-op. Also bonus points for use of a previous piece as well... for those that
missed it/are not familiar, I believe that piece in the window of the girls apartment is a real life stained glass piece done by
Lousy Day of Statesman vs Recluse (right LD?). Great emotion and action in the piece you can almost hear the Sqeeeeeeeee!
Side note: Is it just me or is that bust of Statesman on the top of the tv checking out her butt?!?!?
Aprosaath: Great work on your piece as well, honestly one of your best I've seen and you totally nailed the theme.
You can really see the (almost obscene) joy on Lil' Kat's face now that she has the final piece for her collection
and the look on Crestent is priceless... "hey isn't that my spear... and my shoe... and... hey whats with the huge glass case
with my name on it... ummm... uh oh... huuurrrk!" These were my thoughts before I noticed their was a caption
on the DA version (was looking at the Photobucket one).
That's a challenging background and floor you chose too, looks like your are pushing yourself to improve with each piece.
If I would mention any con/crit it would be the shadows on parts of the piece don't totally sync with the objects casting them
(like the one at the back of Crestent's foot... or is that smoke?) and the wood frame stops short on the upper right corner box of
the 4 stack cube (top row, looks like a window pane in the thumbnail). Minor stuff though, on the whole I really enjoyed this
piece, great job man!
Was a toss up between Shia and Aprosaath... Shia's made me laugh the hardest (posi-vodka lol) but in the end Aprosaath
went and took the theme of obsessive fan one step further for me, after all why settle for stickers and things from the object
of your desire when you can collect the object itself!
Vote goes to Aprosaath, gratz man.

I vote Shia, brilliantly funny as usual. Love the inclusion of the poster also.
Hey Projectionist we missed seeing a piece from you this month what happened bro?

Hola,
Here is a sketch I started for the awesome Pirate Cashoo. I'll keep posting my wips here as the piece develops (which will eventually be full color).
I got "Stand and Deliver" by Adam and the Ants in my head while drawing this, lol.
STAND AND DELIVERRRR... YOUR ARTZ OR YOUR LIFEEEE... at least that what I thought the song said... ahem.
Very cool to see Cashoo getting some love in return. Yay BW!

Anyways here is:
Gray Huntress
You can't be guilty your avatar is so cute... and, you know... cute!
Well you clearly have succumbed to the dark side and must now change your forum color
from blue (or the teal-ish gray that apparently passes for hero blue) to red to reflect your villainy!
Hey, wheres my wallet!?! ;-)

(as a quick aside - thanks for the X character that really helps me out... still after that Y character and also a Q... )
oh didn't realize you were looking for a Q... I have just the thing.
One of my first characters years ago (before I knew what a Kheldian was and how they hate anything with the word
Quantum lol) was Quantum Dark.
Also I have a challenge for you.
Sure you've made zombies look cute but can you cuteify one of the most loathesome pests known to man... wait for it... the mosquito!
My challenge to is make this cute ---> KinQuito
Once just a noxious bloodsucking pest he was radically transformed when he decided to bite a Circle of Thorns mage during a rooftop
ceremony and accidentally hit an artery... the massive ingestion of magically charged blood, bestowed upon him sentience of a sort,
made him grow to the size of a small human and gave him the ability to suck not just blood but also potential kinetic energy out of
enemies and spread it (the kinetic energy that is... not the blood... eww) over his friends .
