Comrade Hero

You can get away with a tri-colored outfit.

The trick is to keep it simple and find that synergy between the colors and utilizing the different outfit lines to contrast an inner and outer look to the outfit.

Comrade Hero's outfit is red and green with black boots, gloves and a face mask (although I don't mind it being painted green). With a yellow chest symbol and brown and silver belt thrown in to boot. Theme: Red and Yellow a throwback to the Soviet Union, Green and Black a recognition of his military background.

Graviton Girl's outfit by contrast is red and blue, with white used for her books, belt and gloves. Theme: Red, White and Blue. The American Patriot.

By contrast my villain Rack doesn't stray from colors traditionally associated with darkness and evil - black and red. The two colors are strong, intimidating and contrast with his pale, zombie-like skin. Again the trick is to keep it simple and maximize the synergy between the colors. Theme: An Avatar of Chaos, Red and Black, but organized, stylish and deceptively simple. Pale skin, dark uniform.

Hehe... I must have deleted and rebuilt Neutron Girl (Rad/Rad Defender) over 30 times since Issue 1 came out and only finally settled on taking her to 50 as a Rad/Rad Defender. I try and get a cool sounding name for an alt and then I sit on it and wonder what sort of toon I'll roll with. I'm currently working on the umpteenth versions of Zero Assassin, Straw Dog and Galatea as we speak.

By Crom, indeed!

A nice gift art piece from Gammaknight. Comrade Hero as a Terminator? Who would have thought it

Comrade Hero as the Terminator

Awesome piece TA

Indeed...

I'll try and unravel the mysteries of the Lament Configuration before I try..... gurk!

Gee and I still use Paragon City's subway system. Sill, it's an unlimited all day pass

Nah, time for Juggertha to whip out that axe of his and teach TA a little tough love respect! hehe!

Nice work on Lightspeed

Totally Brutal indeed!

Most excellent. A nice little stash of art you landed there, grr arghh!!

If I can help support a charitable cause or event, or even aid a person who is recovering from an accident or being laid off work I do try to assist. The last two were a project for Books for Schools and Cancer Society.

I also keep an eye out for New Zealand artists trying to make in on deviantArt and/or have just graduated from the design schools here. It's a tough living and if I can support local talent, I will.

Thanks for sharing. Nice find

I think one of the best things I do was sponsor a struggling artist a a few years ago who was in a pickle. I received one commission from him, and am still waiting on two more. The neat thing is that he's getting paid to do covers and sequentials for certain companies and his reputation is increasing. I won't drop names or who he works for, but sometimes you do strike it lucky.

I try to limit the amount of commissions I get these days. I keep an eye out for interesting talent as much as bargains. I'm more interested in actually writing about the characters now that I have them mostly padded out in art. Still every so often an artist will pop up and you say "Hey, I wonder if they would be willing to do..." even though they never state they do CoX FanArt.

Free Time + Surfing deviantArt = Bargain's to be Found

(Of course still Studying)

Thanks all for the kind words, Graviton Girl and Last Avatar left to go

These covers are so ridiculously awesome I'm gonna have to get one done myself. I love the tagline, too.

Yeah, I had to think of something suitably cheesy - a magic user who wields an assault rifle - "Mage with a Machine Gun!"

Check out the talented Jet Amago, great to work with, professional and considerate. Highly recommended.
