What? Go away from the world of the Internet and news, and this happens... Well, all I can say is that she was a talented woman, whom I enjoyed listening to as a young boy, and hope that she has found peace on the other side. Who knows... Maybe she's leading a choir in Heaven now.
R.I.P. Ms. Houston. You will be missed. -
I like the artwork that's on there. Granted, it's not bombastic, nor is it terribly detailed... however it does simplify what the characters are about. That's what is interesting about it. You get to the core of what the subject is about and then show it off. That's art to me.
My two cents...
Best to all... Jim -
Did you like it as a naughty or nice piece? How did you interpret it? That's all!
Anyways... it's a very nice piece!
Jim
P.S. Pencils are still sharp for whatever you'd like me to draw, y'know? LOL -
Fantastic piece of artwork, Katfood! Love the linework and coloring. Renato has been becoming a favorite of mine. He is reminiscient of Ed Benes, and although he's got a cheesecake vibe to his artwork, I like it! Otherwise, great commission!
By the way, did you like it as a naughty or nice piece? LOL
Best to ya, Kitty kat!! --Jim -
Thrity Seven, I appreciate your candor on this, and I do know that I've not had the time or ability to check up on the Beta schedule. This I admit to all. My original post was posted without that knowledge. Therefore, any concerns or opinions, may or may not have been founded. That is not my issue.
What was my issue in the first place was the way in how I was responded to by Cende. None of my comments insinuated that I had been called a dog. I responded in a manner that I did not appreciate the way the responses were given. I want to engage in intelligent conversation using the grammar and syntax that intelligent people have. Anything else such as shorthand, in my OPINION, just gets in the way.
Looking to be offended on these forums is not what I look for when I log on. I have merely read what the responses were and responded accordingly. It really matters not if you believe it or not. I'm just speaking my mind, and am glad to engage in the conversations afterwards.
I'm not going to derail this forum subject any further. Thanks for the conversation, Thirty Seven.
Best to All... Jim
P.S.
I really hope to see a lot of cool new stuff in Going Rogue! See you there! -
Quote:Cende, although I appreciate your information as to the timeline, which I had not read nor do I have the time to read every post on these forums, please do not give an answer back that is obviously written to someone who doesn't know how to spell, i.e. RITE NAO or tell me to chill. I also do not appreciate someone who talks to me like I am a child or uneducated person.Originally Posted by Cende
Furthermore, just because Beta isn't ready RITE NAO doesn't mean they lied in the least about the loyalty program. You're going to get in, when it's appropriate. Nothing about the loyalty program stated OR implied when the beta was going to start - just that those tiers would be added in order after the start of it.
In other words, chill. You have until March 31st to ... yelp.
I have until March 31st to... yelp? Only if I were a canine.
This is a forum to voice one's concerns, correct? So, let's not go down to the point where comparing one's concerns to that of the sounds from an animal, shall we?
This is one of the reasons why I don't usually post. Someone invariably comes back with comments that are supposed to demonstrate their greater knowledge of the subject, and end up being insulting.
As I've said before in my previous posting, it's just my two cents.

Speaking from an old CoX player POV, I hope that GR turns out to wow everyone. That being said, when is the beta going to start? I distinctly remember an article about the "Loyalty period" where those who stayed in CoX during August 2009 - November 15 2009, would be granted invites into the Beta. There was also a Tier system for those who'd get the invite first. I'm not going to go into that in detail, it's in the archives already. However, if a business posts way back in August that they're going to invite people into Beta, presumably after this loyalty period and I'm actually in Tier 1 (anyone who's been in past 60 months) and still no invite... It leads me to two possible conclusions: 1. They've either forgotten an invite to me, or 2. They've lied about the loyalty system to entice more people into staying in the game to keep revenue up. That kind of behavior speaks of bad business practices. Don't post something about what you're going to do without giving a timetable when it's going to start. It's a carrot put in front of a tired horse ploy, and all you'll get is a tired, grumpy and hungry horse when you don't get the carrot as advertised.
Either way, I still want to get into GR now. This is something I've been waiting for a long time. The backstories and lore of Praetorian Earth is basically set... with all the time between CoH launch and now, there should have been plenty of characters, environments and stories to make a viable Beta by now...
Sorry if it seems like I'm ranting, but it seems like the devs are dragging their heels on this. My two cents.

Back for a bit... commission request lines are open and I'm available for about 10 commissions. First come, first served. Best to all... Jim

Yeah Marty, I've been really busy and with the new addition to the family back in March 09, it's been non-stop "daddy time". I love being an artist, but being the daddy trumps all.
Anyways, i'll be posting stuff when I have the chance. Sorry to hear about the old threads being dropped. Best to all... daddy has to change a diaper now. lol
--Jim -
Hello everybody!! Just thought I'd drop a line to everyone and let the rest of the CoX world know that I've reopened my request/commission list up again, and am looking for opportunities to draw more of the fantastic characters that the fine people here create!
I have links in my signatures that will direct you to what I've done in the past, and if you're interested in a quality work, then give me a buzz. I am affordable and work pretty quickly.
I will not discuss payments of services rendered on these forums, but if you want to do something... PM me.
In other words... I'm back for some artistic craziness! Sacrifice the pencils!!!
Best to all... Jim -
Count me in... I can include screenies of my main off the game and create an ultimate version right after this post!
--Jim -
Happy New Year to all!! Commissions and Requests are being accepted right now for all CoX players! PM me for rates and terms!
Back to my drawing table... Jim -

Well, JG... you asked! LOL
Back to my drawing table... Jim -
I am totally impressed!!! Fantastic job!

Please refer to my previous thread, "Stuff I've Drawn" to see what I've done before, and since we're getting to the new year... NEW STUFF drawn!!
Clearing out older requests...
Golden Age
Crescent Master
and Volt Sentinel
Here are a couple of personal ones i've been playing with... let me know what you think.
Lady Wednesday and Yeoman Liberty
Well, if it hasn't been said already by me... Happy Holidays, and have a fantastic 2009 to come!!
Back to my drawing board... Sacrifice the Pencils!!

For me, it's always been jack Kirby! Icon and truly the King! I've been a fan of Alex Ross, George Perez, John Buscema, Curt Swan, Adam Hughes, Jim Lee, Mike McKone, Paul Pelletier, Alex Toth (love his design style "Space Ghost FTW!!"), Mark Bagley, Dave Cockrum, John Romita Sr., Steve Ditko, Don Heck, Jerry Ordway, Gary Frank (see Action Comics recently, and you'll be a fan too!)... The list is long and I'm sure that I've missed a few more... But you get the point... I'm a sucker for the classic styles.
Most of today's "superstars" better take a long look and thank those who've come before em.
Just my two cents...
Back to my drawing board... Jim -
JG, if you want a drawing done, I could whip up one for you pretty quick. PM me if you're interested. Check out my links in the sig if you'd like.
Yes, I'm pimping out my wares, so sue me!!!
Jim -
nice piece by brandon. He's got a great style.
-
nice work by hero portrait!! Gratz for getting that art, Trizz

Wassy, I understand your frustration... as a semi active freelancer, I've been privy to some of my pals who have been burned for a lot of cash. I know it's gotta hurt and all that jazz, but I don't know anyone in the biz who hasn't been burned by someone who commissions artwork or a full fledged assignment.
It's happened to me too, man. Not going into details and didn't air out my dirty laundry complaining to the general community, I just got a friendly bit of advice about it for next time! But here is some from a fellow artist/freelancer...
Ask for 1/2 up front, 1/2 upon completion. That way, at least you've made some money off the project. Just my two cents and never back down on that part of the deal!

Another fine example of what goes around, comes around. Glad to see someone take time to repay an act of kindness.
Nice sketch, Tacky!
Jim -
I agree! Alex has a way with couples...
Jim -
Joule, sorry I've not sent any of my screenies... been a bit busy lately!! Anyways, I'll send one as soon as I can get into the game for an extended period of time. RL just isn't giving me too much time at all nowadays...
Going back to my drawing table, I hope...

It is not NSFW, Heraclea. I would highly doubt that anyone around here would think that.
