Comrade Hero

Very, very nice composition picture. Congrats!

Bam! is right. That is one groovy piece.

Very nice Rowrsie, might have to start making a stamp myself

Very, very nice pieces of art there Juggs.

Congratulations to those who made the Five.

And thanks to those who whispered the name of Rack. Much appreciated.

Basically we'd love a site that not only competes with DA but out does them. Right now, that is NOT Curse. If they want us to endorse, support, be involved in a new site for less than similar purposes, they have to make it worth our while.

Agreed. I'd like a FanArt section by NCSoft that replicates the good things that have drawn many of us to deviantArt in the first place.

If Lighthouse had started a thread along the lines of - "Hey, what would you like to see if we started a City of Heroes FanArt dedicated section/site?" then I believe most of us would have been more receptive and forthcoming with ideas and answers.

One of the reasons deviantArt does it for me is that you can literally stumble across talented artists who are willing to bring our characters to life in their chosen medium. And many of these are artists who don't cater to gaming industry fans. And they have little or no idea what City of Heroes and City of Villains is. You only have to look at the number of deviantArt artists who have been 'discovered' and showcased over the past months.

1337? really? :P

CoV > CoH apparently :P

I was surprised by that as well Rowrsie. But when I added CoH, CoV and CoX, City of Heroes still came out on top.

deviantArt isn't perfect, but it's incredibly convenient for those of us who can't afford our own art websites and it has a rather good (not perfect) art categorizing section.

City of Heroes 5,700 results
City of Villains 1,337 results

and that's excluding abbreviations like CoV, CoH and CoX.

Okay that's not earth shattering numbers, but the FanArt community does have a presence on dA that can't be filled here.

From amateur inspired drawings to truly inspiring creative works of art you can find them all on deviantArt. And the great thing is other people and artists who have never heard of City of Heroes or City of Villains have seen the character inspired dA websites and are easily contactable for commissions and trades.

Until there's a genuine effort to build a cohesive FanArt section like that by NCSoft here, I'll stick with deviantArt.

Thanks for the info Lighthouse. But like everyone else, I'm sticking with Deviant Art.

Way to go Cassandra, and you'll certainly get some quality art there Bradders

Very, very cool! I didn't know Rocinate could do male heroes but he most certainly can!

A true friend indeed.

I agree Gill, amazing work all around!

Happy Joyous Day of Birthing Celtic Bolt!

Another Ms. Frost commission - this one courtesy of Vexiphne, a wonderful 3D artist.

Vexiphne is great, and I'm very impressed with how Ms. Frost turned out! She's gorgeous

Happy Joyous Day of Birthing!

Following Larissa's lead I decided to get a few super special sketches done of my heroines by Sir Robert of deviantArt.

Enjoy!

The Hero of the Russian Federation shows the benefits of a healthy diet, rigorous exercise and getting bombarded by cosmic radiation.

Nice to see the Commissar rendered so beautifully by you

Awesome piece.

Rocinate is very good. His photomaipulations are some of the best I've seen. Grats on a wonderful piece

Basically the claws are a Poser Prop that conform to the left and right hands. So I didn't actually model anything

Spent some time today in Poser and Photoshop working on Katfood's villain, Feral Kitty. I hope she likes it.

It's a magical morphing sword, the bigger my ego gets the bigger the sword gets

Thanks for pointing that out Piep.

Adjusted sword accordingly and minor edits to background

I've been playing around with Poser and Photoshop lately and turned out two portrait pieces. The first is Larissa's character and the second is my baby scrapper Skallagrimsson.

Congrats on your own website Sorah and all the best for the future. Once my wallet has recovered in a few months I'll be looking your way.
