Great stuff, FrozenDeath.

And to Dr_HR, if you want to get good at drawing, all you have to do is challenge yourself to draw, draw, draw.

Sketch of Zack the Slime, a plant controller, along with the alternate costume CoH wouldn't let me make.

The pose on the right is kinda boring, but it was my first time drawing anything resembling that. *shrug*

I didn't know what to sketch during my lunch break today, so I somehow ended up drawing the Aspirant, character of a SG-mate on Freedom, about to fight a Carnival Strong Man. Then I went and darkened in the shadows so much you almost can't tell how messed-up the bad guy's arm is.

Hi, I'm Giant Mosquito and I am mostly a lurker.

I'm also a CoH addict and graphic designer who is trying to work on his figure drawing and digital painting skills, and occasionally those three things converge into something that's worth showing off on this board.

Yep, looks like the urban dictionary was actually useful for once. That sums up chav-osity quite nicely.

Next up, the Prismatic Pugilist! Or Pummeller, or something. It's a rather messy sketch in pencil with digital color.

Thanks for the comments, everybody! I'm back with a new (vaguely) CoH-related piece.

After a SG-mate was affected by the blackout in London last week (and complained quite a bit about the chavs responsible from his parents house and work, both of which were unaffected) I took it upon myself to imagine what kind of villain could have done such a thing. I came up with ... Super Chav!

The colors and shading are a little over-saturated and tacky, but I figured that's chavs for you. The real issue is that I discovered I have NO IDEA how to do comic book-style electrical effects. Tips, anyone?

Thanks for the replies. So, here's what I came up with. I actually have some of the expensive IOs just lying around on alts, so it's not quite as expensive as it looks. I made another build that is very similar but replaces the Leaping pool with Concealment powers stealth, grant invisibility and phase shift:

I'm a straight-up noob when it comes to PvP, but I'm pretty sure DM/WP is sub-optimal for PvP to begin with. That being said, I'm not one to back down from a bad idea easily!

So: I'm gonna use my 2nd build for PvP stuff. What powers, IO bonuses, etc. should I focus on to keep this guy 1) not faceplanting, and 2) doing damage? I won't stop you from offering a build if you really want to, but all I'm really asking for is principles with which I may design one, i.e., what to focus on, etc.

Thanks!

Since I like to sketch a bit in my downtime, I figured I would post the two CoH-related things I've made so far.

Edited since people wanted credits.

So, is there a Strong + Pretty VG forming up somewhere?

If so, where can I find it? When does it meet?
If not, we should start one!

(I want to be strong &amp; pretty too!)
