You said the eye creeped you out..so the kitty is just for you.

That is wonderful Scarf Girl. I shed a tear everytime I see your art because you are improving so much and I am so proud of you. One day you will be famous and we will all look back on this day as the day Scarf Girl became one with the art universe...

Very nice Jugs!

This is shaping up to be fun. Looking forward to meeting some of you in-game for the first time

Did everyone mark their calenders?

couldn't sleep so I doodled up Squirrel or at least his forum persona

Sweety, next time you can not sleep just roll over and wake me up

Great, quick sketch. Very cute.

Oh yeah.. since the costume creater allows all costume elements on both sides... villians could be re-rolled as heroes (tweak the name a little, dupe the costume and bio) in order to participate. Powersets can be matched to a certain degree... if not, no biggie, you're only here for a party and don't want to attract attention to your villainous natures anyway, RIGHT?

[/ QUOTE ]

Excellent idea. I think Sorah showed up as KarnaI Sin at the Beach Bash so she could RP her villain. Was a good idea and well received.

Heh heh..

Saturday October 14 starting at 9:00 pm edt last "official" contest at 11:00 pm edt.

Very nice! Color me green with envy. Looks great! May I ask how long did it take you to get the completed piece?

and Grae get rid of that eye Avatar it's super freaky :P

[/ QUOTE ]

As soon as you draw me up a cool new avatar

Thanks Scarf! So true. The Paragonian Knights do this twice a year, once in the Spring and again in the Fall. Our way of giving back to the Server we have made our home.

I enjoy the art community in CoX and posted here to give you all an opportunity to participate. Test server is too much of a pain for us to organize. PvP Zones are DEFINITELY out (not that we can not hold our own ) and I can only handle Pocket D in small doses.

Some day the Knights will be on every server and we will do these once a month on each server Until that day Virtue is it.

Hope to see some of you there!

Grae, [censored] this contest much?

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, I like to have good participation and hate when after the fact people say "I wish I knew about it"

Just a little additional information on the event. Since I posted this in the art section I will give extra emphasis on that particular contest.

The event starts at 9:00 pm edt. Throughout the event members of my supergroup will be checking out costumes and bios in the crowd of people. There will be no lining up and time consuming checking out of each costume. So feel free to mingle, participate in the other events and listen to Radio Guru the whole evening.

At 11:00 pm edt (yes, 2 hours after the event began) I will annouce the finalists for the costume/bio contest. These finalists will be picked from the people my Knights have told me about. From those finalists I will name the winner of the free art commission. I will then need to get a e-mail address from you for correspondence between myself, the winner and Poison.

So what am I looking for? Not necessarily RP bio but more something original. A costume and bio that just jump out at me and scream creativity. Here is the Spring Bash's winner Vintage Hero . What caught my eye with this character was something I never seen. He was a hero right off the silver screen. His bio was a movie trailor description.

Everyone has a chance..from level 1-50. Auras and capes are pretty but if they do nothing for the costume/bio combo they don't always win.

While waiting on the winner to be annouced please feel free to participate in the Croatoa Race or some of the other costume contests. Meet new friends, RP a little (if that is your thing), whatever is your flavor.

I hope to see you all there. If you are from another server and a fellow art-[censored], please be sure to say hello!

Which of course leaves out every Player with characters only on the CoV side. Some of whom would have the killer costumes you were looking for as well. And they can't even join in the fun by making an Alt for CoH, because of their level. Sorry, but I think Pocket-D would have been the better place based on this reason.

[/ QUOTE ]

Pocket D has capacity limit. An open zones capacity is much greater...and yes I do expect that many. This event is more than just the free art given at one contest and the other events rely on the open zone.

And I am not a fan of Pocket D

Hey fellow art-! This isn't exactly showing off artwork but I figured with a prize of a free commission, you guys whould love to get in on this. This is a Virtue event so sorry other server dudes.

The flier seen around Paragon City

If you were at the Spring Beach Bash in April, this looks to be even better! Many events and contests are in the planning stage but this is what we have planned..

A race in Croatoa
A scavenger hunt (of sorts)
Many costume contests (female costume, male costume, halloween costume)
Most Original Costume/bio combo
Music by Radio Guru
Prizes already lined up to be given away..

Millions in influence
Hamidon Enhancements (while supplies last!)
Game Cards
and a Grand Prize of a Art Commission by RPVisions!
additional prizes are in the planning stages

Please don't miss out on this awesome event. It looks to be huge!

I will post more concrete information next week, this is merely a teaser

I love it Scarf Girl. Very good piece in your unique style.

It is very scary though and I will need you to tuck me in tonight to keep me from having nightmares...

Looks awesome DB! I love your style, it is so much fun to look at, much like you

[ QUOTE ]
great pic and Grae Knight must have bought that statue himself as the only thing he's ever saved in this town are top heavy scantily clad girls :P

great piece Grae

[/ QUOTE ]

Heh heh...I love it! Coyote is coming along nicely. He is one of my favorite characters to play and just had to have him immortalized on paper. I can not wait for the inks and color.

[ QUOTE ]
We'll be sure to put him in our "Naughty" list for ya. But yeah, we only transfer influence through other SG members who we trust, and we have a "Knight Deposit" which Lady Grae controls. Did you send an application in for the Sisterhood in yet?

[/ QUOTE ]

In the future Lady J, now that you are a Knight, just give a shout on global. Knight Deposit is stting on well over 150 million now and it is there for the Knights to use. Hate that this happened but 400k is easily replaced.

Anyone get any screenshots from Virtue?

UPDATED CONTACT INFORMATION...

THE PARAGONIAN KNIGHTS & THE ROGUE KNIGHTS

The Paragonian Knights are now looking for brave heroes (and villains!) of all levels and archetypes. We currently have 9 supergroups across both CoH and CoV. We are very active in all aspects of the game including but not limited to role-playing events, player versus player zone events, arena battles and friendly instant base raids. We were nominated by the players of City of Heroes of one of the Favorite Supergroups of 2006! The Knights often have events going on every night of the week and several on weekends. It is not uncommon to see 2 to 3 task forces or strike forces running at the same time with the Knights.

Paragonian Knights are our core group and are what makes us who we are. We are a lite role-playing supergroup, meaning we support RP-ing and enjoy it from time to time, but most of it is mission based. We strongly encourage character development and good backgrounds for your characters. If you are not an RP-er don't worry because you are just as welcome to join. The PK currently boasts a fully functional base, an extremely active roster and a fabulous web site with active forums. The PK has been around for more than a year now and in that time has made a name for itself as a supergroup that is here for the duration. If you are looking for a SG that enjoys having a good time and being there to lend each other a helping hand then look no further!

Paragonian Knights - 2nd Battalion are our second "main" Knights supergroup on the Virtue server. Due to restrictions by CoH developers on SG size, the 2nd Battalion was created to allow the Knights to continue to recruit new heroes. This supergroup operates under the same guidelines as the original Paragonian Knights.

Contacts for Paragonian Knights and 2nd Battalion: @Grae Knight, @O-Hitsuji, @Miss Bohr, @yaki-sama, @Annx

Sisterhood of the Paragonian Knights are our all-female theme group. The main requirement to be accepted into the Sisterhood is that your character is female. The Sisterhood is a rapidly growing branch of the Paragonian Knights that does get involved in some lite role-playing during all Sister team-ups. The current leader is Gwendolyn Snow and she can be reached in-game @Grae’s Babe for additional information and possibly an in-game interview. Membership in the Sisterhood grants you all the same privileges as membership in the main Paragonian Knights supergroup.

Contacts for Sisterhood: @Grae’s Babe, @Incendria, @Miss Bohr, @GaeanConspiracy

Honor Battalion is our Heavy Role Playing group. It is a very select group based around a silver-age superhero theme. The HB is the surgical strike team of the Paragonian Knights. Operating, often times, in secret to aid in the defeat of villainy on all fronts. If you are interested in this group it takes alot of commitment. Thought-Wave is our current Field Chief and he can be reached in-game @yaki-sama for additional information.

Contacts for Honor Battalion: @Grae Knight, @yaki-sama, @Miss Bohr, @Volcanic Storm, @Ledgerdemain

Paragonian Knights - Elite are our group for level 50 players. This group is very relaxed and spends alot of time helping others and participating in server wide events. Currently, the Elite is on its way to becoming our foremost base raiding and PvP supergroup. All members are not required to participate in this however. Obviously you must be level 50 to be a member. Upon reaching level 50 the Knight is honored in a brief ceremony attended by all available Knights and coalition allies. It is a sight to behold.

Contacts for Elite: @Grae Knight

Paragonian Knights – Proving Grounds are our all alt supergroup for heroes. As our members deal with altitis the desire to continue to be affiliated with the Knights no matter what character continues to burn strong. This group is a place for current members to place characters as they try them out to see if they will stick around. Once it is determined a character build is here to stay they character is moved to a more active team.

All members of the Rogue Knights must be active within 30 days or are in danger of being removed from the roster. Membership in the RK gives you the option to also join the PK with a hero (which is highly encouraged).

The Rogue Knights - Knightmares are the Rogue Knights second supergroup. Any member of the Rogues may place an alt in the Knightmares to maintain affiliation with the Knights. All members must maintain 45 days of activity or risk being removed from the roster. The Knightmares are not a place to park a villain, it will be an active group with a functional base of its own. Just like the main Rogues, even though we are villains we will treat each other as Knights with respect and dignity.

The Rogue Knights – Terror Legion are our all alt supergroup for villains. As our members deal with altitis the desire to continue to be affiliated with the Knights no matter what character continues to burn strong.
