Goblin_Queen

Congrats, Caemgen!

This is the second to last recent batch of Goblin Queen art that's coming in. I don't think introductions are needed for Redg404 other than I'm glad I finally got in on that action. He's great!



The color was a totally different shade of green that I've ever used or seen applied to Goblin Queen but I like it. I like the piece overall so much that I also like the color I should say. If I didn't like the overall piece I'd probably harp on the color. :P I like the details of the goblin scepter and the makeshift yet mobile goblin throne.

Nice looks! I'll definitely use it for some spirit/soul based characters.

I may be the only person who cares about this but I just wish the eye glow was different. My kingdom for an eye glow that plays well with hats!! One that plays well and doesn't have lightning or sparks shooting out of the eyes periodically. Sparks and Lightning play well with hats until the above mentioned things shoot out. Sigh.

I really love your style, Psi! /camps your thread for more

Yes. Most definitely. I have enough to deal with getting rare to very rare alphas on 8+ 50s. I'd prefer the ability to either customize the image of the pet somehow or pick different and wider amount of groups other than Praetorian and would be very willing to wait for either. Maybe get it mixed in with customizing MM and Illusion pets? One can dream. :P

Really nicely done! Great details!

I'd definitely buy it and have kinda wished for it before, considering how much money I've spent over the years here. However I do think it'd probably hurt CoX more than help.

I'm really pleased with the additions in this Issue. I *DO* hope that we get some more power animation customization, power proliferation, APP/PPP/Power Pool customization and free costume pieces however.

Some may have noticed and thought, "There haven't been any official Goblin Queen pieces lately. What gives?" Well, I've thought the very same thing! Here is the first of three that are incoming. Hopefully the other two will be here by the end of the week.

This Goblin Queen piece came from an artist I randomly lucked upon, BleedingHeartWorks. She was running a very limited commission run based on a 3 month sub to DA. I jumped on it considering what that costs and what most pieces of this caliber cost. Although I admit, at first it was sort of a gamble as i wasn't sure what type of work she was putting out for these commissions. She has a wide range of material in her gallery but from the looks of some pieces I had to take the risk.



So.. it was *very* different. I'd never really had GQ be that.. um.. well.. in that pose. Nor without her normal lower attire, except for that bath scene but her legs were closed! At first when looking at the WIP I was taken aback by it just a bit. But it grew on me really quickly, like 30 seconds after I saw it and realized just how much detail and awesomeness was in the piece. Once it was colored I was even MORE pleased with it. The armor, boots, different gloves, etc. are downright hot and evil looking and I really do like the coloring as well.

Keep an eye on her and give her work when she's up for commissions again. Maja was a real treat to work with and has a great personality to go with the talent!

So a while back I had Ross do a VS piece between my Brimstona and a friend's character. I guess Brimstona lost since the piece just had her back facing the viewer. :P I vowed to have Ross do Brimstona up proper some day. That day arrived!



I'm pretty happy with it. I like the colors, the flame and expression. I'm definitely inspired to get more pieces of her from different artists to get different perspectives on her, plus get a few of her demon minions thrown in for evil measure. He missed the chess symbol originally so I asked him to add it and if he could add it upside down. I'm sad that we can't do that in CoH. He did it tho and I love it! I don't have the original sized version yet but I'll upload it when I do for any who like to download these pieces.

EDIT - the high res version is up, woo!

I really stumbled across this guy, Fishcat101. Check him out, he has a lot of great pieces and is very talented. He is running a limited amount offer of free sketches for any character - OC, Marvel, DC, etc. and he's doing this basically to help himself out when it comes to warming up. All you need are some reference shots. I was surprised when he said he would do the entire list I gave him. I guess it's a good thing I didn't list all of my mains, much less my alts?



It was quick work, I listed them one evening and he had them the every next morning. The job was kinda rushed in some cases but hey, it was free and there were six characters! I think he did some cool stuff with most of the characters and maybe missed the mark on a couple of them but again.. it's free so it's all good. The one thing that wasn't so hot was he misspelled three of the six names so I had to just redo all of the names in a font of my choosing. A shame because I really liked the font he had originally. I just couldn't find it even when he gave me the name of it.

Another thing - it appears that if you give him fewer characters he does more involved sketches. Found that out after the fact. Hehe.

Wow, it's been a long while since I've updated this thread. I've been slacking in not only updating this but updating the galleries on DA. Time to catch up!

I think most of you all here have seen this already but to keep it all in one place, here is Mister Halloween that CR was so kind enough to do (again). This time he made him orange, the perfect color choice for him!

That was rather fun! Loved seeing the different masquerade looks.

I'm going to have to think of something different for International. My go to costume for that already won something for Patriotic. Doh! :P

Very sorry for your loss, Sensei. Take time with your family and loved ones. We'll all be here when you return. /hugs

I installed and used the Launcher and then checked out the wisps aura as I was hopeful and excited to see if this aura would be THE aura I was looking for. :P Since there isn't a feedback thread yet, I'll post my thoughts here.

I think the overall aura is pretty cool and I'll put it to use. However, I am disappointed that there is another aura doesn't have an eye glow that plays well with hats. I posted feedback in the appropriate places to get an aura that did play well based on the glows in the quote below.

Looks really neat. Can't wait to try it out!

Love Steamshot. Makes me want to get work done for my Steampunk toon.

1) Christopher Robin
2) Lousy Day
3) FrozenDeath

Until we can customize it, then no. It's not. I rarely get it because I just hate having my hands glow with the light of the freaking Sun. :P I do get it on characters that the look and concept mesh.

When/if we can change it to different colors, remove the effect, etc. then I'll likely get it on a few more characters that could use the extra recharge but I've never felt at a loss for not having it.

Congrats, Ransim!
