A nice all in one guide very well done.

Yeah by hand can't be beat, but once you get in the groove with digital, it's like falling over to the Dark Side. You don't understand the POWER!!! Just kidding, here's a super link of links to get you started, some of them aren't there anymore, but a lot are...

Great thanks those will come in handy! Oh I ran across these looking for more pictures they're done with Poser 5 (another program I'd love to learn to be better at) I just never got around to finishing them.

Rapidograph! Man I haven't heard that word in eons... I hated cleaning the buggers, it was almost worth getting a new one then having to clean them all the time. Nice work Nightchill, good luck with the digital in the future...

Video killed the Radio Star and Digital killed the Rapido My pens finally died while I was taking a break I thought about trying to pick up a set off of Ebay, but if things go well with learning the digital stuff I wouldn't need them. I've been looking for guides on digital for beginners that don't read like stereo instructions Theres still something though with doing it all by hand.

Thanks everyone for the comments on the first two. I want to give digital painting a try I just need to find some good tutorials to get me started. I'd love to use paint on Belladonna instead of the old ink and color pencil method I used on the old ones.

I almost forgot all about Champions (I still have most of the books)! From way back in 1992 before I lost my soul...err... I mean a couple of years before I was married, heres 4 of my old characters.

See, now Vortex makes me want to create a new COH hero in a cool, shiney chrome costume! How'd you get the small, shaded, rectangle box pattern in the reddish background?

It was all done by hand I used a rapidograph set for the inking and the color was done with colored pencils.

Ah Champions! I wish I had kept the character pics I drew for my characters when I was still playing. At least I was able to make one of those characters in CoH (The Soul Keeper in my sig) Great work!

I was reading through the books this morning and its one of those games I would love to still play.

Ok a lot more frames, but I like it better.

Oh I think I have an idea so a new avatar coming soon!

Hey Knight try Imageshack I use it when I have problems uploading with Photobucket.

If you need a gif animator try Advanced Gif Animator

I'm not sure Im set on mine yet I might do some tweaking.

I gotta say thanks to Gill for getting my interest going again in doing artwork after going through about a 3 year burn out. Heres two pieces the first is from roughly 10 years ago from when I played the old text based game Gemstone III and did character work for players. The second is what I started up a couple days ago of my Plant/Thorn Dominator Mistress Belladona.

Nice reduction to bad no ones going to stay alive long enough to use it, which I take it they expect us to die more since they lowered the debt cap.

Oh but great news I saved a bunch of money on my car insurance!

One note regarding Sonic Disruption, it is aggro enducing towards you. It is like any of the other debuffs like Enervating Field or Darkest Night. The fact that it is anchored on a friend as opposed to an enemy doesn't matter. So as this debuff does not decrease acc or dmg and you can't buble yourself you can end up dead very quickly if your group has poor aggro control. This is especially true if you combine it with Howl. Just a little tip as on a group with no AOE and a tanker without Taunt, I was consistantly the primary target.

I've found if stay back just within range you are less likely to get hit.
