I have got to get in on the next queue. I keep missing them.

Do I specifically have to PM you to get into the queue? And are these freebies or are they paid commisions (which might explain why I have yet to get in on any of the queues)? By the way, typing the word queue is fun.

[/ QUOTE ]

Answers:

No, I do not currently do PAID Commissions.
Yes, The Que is free, I require no payment at all. Although I might instigate a Donation option(unlikely but possible).
When the Que is open, a NEW Post will direct you as to how to enter the que and what info is needed.
PM's are my usual request as it assures your place in line via unbiased mechanical(unless a Decepticon has become NCsoft's Forum Server System) 3rd party system.
Yes, I am aware it is correctly spelled Queue.
Yes, I am rambling. I'm a rambling man.

You could always take commisions on the side. Don't stop the free-work(free is the best obviously) but if someone wants something specific ya know, thats just something i'm throwing out there.

Nah, Getting money directly for art always leaves a bad taste in my mouth, now Donations are different cause it's like being the sidewalk scribbler with my hat on the ground panhandling. Plus not everyone can afford the 20+ dollar fees(avg I've seen for stuff like mine), but 2 bucks sure, ooh a fiver, Thanks dood. The whole fatal romanticsm of the starving artist, y'know?

egh, I need sleepies.

Hex, Close to done. Check about 5 tommorrah, should be there.

Seriously tho, Amp his power level up. Demolish that City Block. Make Far an actual viable target for both the Freedom Phalanx and The Rogue Isles to notice. That gives us the reader complete believability that Statesman/Arachnos would have to take notice.

Haha interestingly that's where I was going to go with it until I thought you had talked me out of it. I thought you meant to make him less powerful when in fact you wanted him stronger. Gotcha

Admittedly I don't know who the writer you refered to is so in my head I thought he was an author that just made every character a god and well that's never fun.

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually I was refferencing this.

It's found alot in Comix. Usually known as "Mary Stu", the male version is called "Gary Stu". An Example as you mentioned is "Superman". No flaws, Nada, just pure perfection and wish fullfillment.

But yeh. Having your character be best buds with Statesman, Honorary Member of the Freedom Phalanx, Tons of cash, etc, etc, is very "Gary Stu."

Not sayin that it's Far's origin just givin an example.

I've always liked the "Coming to terms with their Powers" stories, and they're much more interesting when it's dealing with atom bomb level powers assigned to teens/kids. "Akira" is the best example of this IMHO.

So make a Far a Megaton bomb!! I mean, one building? On fire? My level 34 Defender can take those all week long(not on the sabbath tho), you don't call in Manticore of the Freedom Phalanx to run a Firefighter Mish, You Call Manticore to take out that FULL Team of level 50 Villains defending that turret in Recluse's Victory.

Not sayin don't use the Established Heroes, Just remember that they are UBER so the prices to be paid must just as UBER for us to believe they'll take part.

-Cj

Ah, it's inner monologue! I see now.

You need to distinguish who's speaking cause that's what got me confused. There are no "she said." "he said."'s there to help the reader out.

Seriously tho, Amp his power level up. Demolish that City Block. Make Far an actual viable target for both the Freedom Phalanx and The Rogue Isles to notice. That gives us the reader complete believability that Statesman/Arachnos would have to take notice.

-Cj

Thought I'd share this with you folks. Good stuff!

-Cj

See, You even say it yourself.

[ QUOTE ]
So for now Far really isn't anything special.


[/ QUOTE ]

I can see Mant takin an interest, but Statesman and SP? Their motives are not as clear to me yet.

I shall wait and see then.

-Cj

Yeh, I really misjudged how time intensive these are. But I'm glad I did them cause I've been using ElectroCroc's Bust as a refference for his Standard pic.

Back to work...

-Cj

Gragh!! Graver!!! Those Toe's are killing me!!!!

So good, and you just "sketched" it out like nothin eh?

-Cj

Good Stuff!! See what happens when you post here?!!!

GIVE US MORE!!!

Love the Hands!!!

Squirrel's lookin to supplant TA in his absence!!

I'm finding it hard to tell who's speaking.

I'd be wary of using the Established Characters too, I know he runs with Mant cause he gives him the suit.

Don't mean to offend Far, but it seems a bit Gary Stu'ish from just this snippet. I mean not only his he buds with Mant, but SP and Statesman are in his circle of friends too?

I know he can level city blocks and whatnot, but the same can be said of at least some of those "thousands of capes" too.

If you were goin to use them, have Mant bring it up as an issue. I'd like to see that, and it's more believable that Mant would stop quipping one liners and real show concern over one his pupils, than Statesman suddenly taking interest in a single "Cape" when he has not only the Whole of Paragon City, but the constant threat of, Another Rikti Rift/Aggressive Alternate Dimensions via Portal Corp/The Rogue Isles and all that comes with it, etc, etc,...

Don't hate me!
