Well I sent him a note asking if he got your note
. Hopefully it helps.
Out of curiosity, this Commission connected to your story?

Really? How long has it been? I'm a bit suprised but I haven't been a customer long enough to know what his normal response time is...
Also, you positive the note sent? DA can be funny with notes on occasion... But if it's under the sent folder then I guess Jazz is to blame.
Anyway, you could always send a follow up note. I think he's worth the effort.

I tried contacting jazzcarmona to see if he had room for more commissions, but never got an answer.

I think a romance like this one deserves a rock opera to put it in the proper perspective. At the very least a musical episode.

This is actually why I had no problem doing a video for a friend of mine whose character is in love with Statesman. Whether it's requited or not is still up in the air, but they are at least friends and rather close, at that.Quote:Originally Posted by BlueBattler
The Recluse Strike Force and Statesman's reaction to Ms. Liberty's defeat shows that Statesman is still human enough to love and care for people.
And one of my very favorite Rogue Tip Missions shows that Statesman aka "Mister Holier Than Thou" still has a sense of humor.
And there was definitely a hint of romance between Psyche and Statesman at the beginning of the game: States, not Manti, was the one who stayed constantly at Shalice's bedside after she was injured in the Rikti War.
And even if Marcus wishes to stay away from mortal women this time, there are plenty of women in the game who possess prolonged lifespans: Lady Gray, Georgia Fields, Shadowstar, Serafina ... heck, there's even a goddess that makes an appearance Redside.
Potentially, he could even date Luminary.
True, there are widows and widowers who never remarry after their spouse dies, but there are also others who do find love more than once in their lives.
Eternity is an awfully long time to be alone.
Personally, I'm of the opinion that it would do Marcus some good to have some connections back to the mundane world. Heroism in the abstract can be a dangerous thing.

Positron = Raymond Keyes
Synapse = Steve Berry
Other than that, damn cool.
EDIT: Actually... do you mind if I borrow some of that for THE COURSE OF SUPERHERO ROMANCE? (Especially the "we're eating at every Up-And-Away place, and Raymond having the spreadsheet for it" thing) That just works amazingly well with how I've got Steve written there.

Quote:The more rational shippers are the ones who look at in-universe pairings and go, "Yeah, I can buy that [scribble scribble scribble]" or "what the hell are they thinking? there's no canon basis for that at all! [scribble scribble scribble]". It has to do more with how the 'ship fits overall into canon.Originally Posted by Mr_Squid
So...um...it's probably because I'm a clueless guy, but what exactly is the purpose of shipping again? From what I can infer it's just arguing on forums about who should get together and drawing fan art. It doesn't really seem to accomplish anything. I'm not trying to be rude here, I'm just curious!
Then there are the irrational shippers... who sometimes pair up the WEIRDEST people (Statesline, anyone?) and run with the concept either out of fun, malice, insanity, or some combination thereof.
If you have a few hours to waste, swing by TvTropes and look at Shipping and its related Tropes.
'Shipping is serious business.

Quote:If Alan Rickman does that scene even half as well as I think he will, there had damn well better be a Best Supporting Actor nod for him. Judi Dench got the Supporting Actress for SEVEN MINUTES in "Shakespeare in Love" - considering that Rickman's an absolutely brilliant actor, I'd be going to see HP7b just for him.Originally Posted by Beastyle
There's no way they would've left that scene out.
Personally, I'm most looking forward to Snape's scene.
And Neville's.
(Well, that and to hopefully see Ron slug Draco in the mouth shouting, "And that's TWICE we've saved your life tonight, you cowardly *******!")

To be fair, y'know, that's something they can share. I mean, wasn't Positron an energy form for some period of time? Or was that just the not-quite-canon comic?The comics are canon; the novels are canon; the game is canon.Quote:Originally Posted by Fleeting Whisper
The comics are canon.
All three are contradictory. Life goes on.
But yes, until he was resurrected by the Dark Watcher at the end of the Top Cow comics, he was raw energy, contained inside his armor after losing control of his powers during the Rikti War. After Positron's armor was breached during the fight with the Honoree and the Rikti (killing Psyche, Synapse, and Manticore, plus Posi himself), when DW brought him and the others in the Phalanx back to life, he restored Posi's body back to normal, granting him control of his powers once again.
*embarrassed shrug* (I had to learn all this when I started writing TCoSR. I is geek.)
Be that as it may, yes, I'm sure he can relate to Numina on some level because of that... by the same token, he could relate to War Witch and even Ghost Widow - all three women (aside from being dead) are trapped in their astral/ghost form.

Oh, that's easy.
"Grant Common Sense"
Think of the benefits - those a**hats on the road who do 85 in the rain with bald tires? ZAP. People who insist on parking monster SUVs in "compact" labelled spaces? ZAP. People who call in for customer support and are too busy arguing with me to listen? ZAP.
Sure, it's not glamorous or exciting or dramatic, but I suspect the world would be a better place after a while.

Quote:FWIW, while it was explained yesterday during the informal Ustream chat that a lot of people contributed toward the Numitron relationship, Matt Miller told me that he was the writer of the actual story on the main COH site setting up "Praetorian Surge".Originally Posted by ShadowsBetween
Or it could be that whoever is writing that little sidestory sort of forgot that Numina is supposed to be a ghost.

This amuses me to no end.
However, I console myself with the idea that because Sorina Tavarisch does not actually exist in canon, Posi just decided to settle. *tongue-in-cheek grin*
As for who Anti-Matter's calling... I'm personally guessing either Dark Watcher or Dr. Sheridan, both of whom have cropped up on Praetorian Earth. Though it'd really be funny if Anti-Matter calls either Positron or Synapse!

Today is going to be a weird day for me.
On the one hand, Tava celebrates by getting her long-deserved Vanguard pack (YAY! MINI HVAS FTW). On the other hand, she's going to spend the day either crying her eyes out or beating the living crap out of villains coz she got dumped.
The Praetorians can't invade soon enough.
Still, way to rock for 7 years, COH. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with over the next seven years.
And where's the official video? Come on!

And the Star Patrol will be ready to take on the Praetorians any time they choose. Tavarisch, in particular, is going to have a lot of aggression to take out on someone and throwing Tyrant around telekinetically is going to have a lot of appeal.
