From What I remember you can't get those helmets anymore, you could only get it if you played City Of Villains the weekend before the game was released to those who didn't preordered the game...

I got my key around August of last year? I got it from an Ebay Seller. I just checked Ebay and no one had any of them on sale.

If you do find some one on ebay or amazon that is selling over-stock copies you can add it to your account like you would if you added the Good VS Evil Gear code to your existing.

Correction: the helmet was available when CoV was released. If you pre-ordered the game you got a code with it depending on the company you pre-ordered with. Entering the code into your account would unlock an arachnos helmet.

I'm pretty sure you can still find some of the codes on Ebay.

[/ QUOTE ]

And... here are the helmets....

Crab Spider From EB Games

Arachnos Mystic From Best Buy

Blood Widow Female Only From Game Stop

Wolf Spider Very Rare From "All Other Retailers"

The "Red Eyes" on all the helmets do not glow. They are just colored red.

You can not adjust the color of the helmets and the helmet colors are slightly unique in their shading. Especially the Crab Spider which is a sea-green black.

Careful who you buy your helmet from on ebay. Each helmet was available only at certain locations and Ebay Sellers might not know where the product originally
sold so they can't tell you which helmet you will get.
I wound up with the Crab Spider helmet. I dont' think I have a pic of that character but I'll look for one.

In the meantime, here is my first costume attempts on making a Quartermaster.
Quartermaster Refference

Quartermaster Agent

And Another Try Quartermaster Agent II

Thanks Slayerman! I appreciate it.
I've been working on my "Drama" in my pics. Not just Fighting Poses but life poses, Body language.

Like this pic I did of Juvie and his RP girlfriend Princess Powerfull.

Princess's size was stunted at puberty when her "Growth" transformed into "Power" so she is a very small girl, maybe about, 4'9". That is why she looks so small in Juvie's 16 year old arms.

Juvie has been having a lot of problems in his RP life lately. Think Peter Gabrial's song, "Don't Give Up." He is very sad, not EMO sad but feeling real grief. Where as Princess is telling him that no matter what, she will love him and he is stronger than he feels.

Let me know what you think.
Enjoy.
Princess Powerfull maybe small, but her Love is Strong!

'Blink Blink!"
They included my pic of Juvie!

Thanks!

pretty darn sweet!

If you have time I'd really like you to draw Rose Bandit, if you want to try practicing on her. Shes not very much like the other characters you draw though...(She's a Snobby Rich Brat...) The way you can capture emotion is amazing!

*Edit* Forgot the link xD...

Love the MA Stalker, you can feel the roundhouse coming... wound you mind if I take a stab at coloring the first piece, and if so, could you give me a run down of what the colors are, or maybe post a screenshot.

[/ QUOTE ]

Sure... here are some reference of Juvie.


Juvie Front Face
Juvie front claws
Juvie full body
Juvie Profile

Here is a sketch I did for mysterious_flame. Its of his Martial Arts Stalker Jack A' Lantern

I hope you all like it.

[ QUOTE ]
good piece, good use of perspective. i see a minor flaw with the way he is twisted (his belly) but the rest of the piece is so good i can mostly forget about that. Awesome claw work.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, I see that now that you pointed it out to me.

Also
I'm kinda' bummed that his Jawline to his left ear didn't show up on the scanner. That missing line makes him look fat.

But I'm really happy with the front claws! And the perspective on his legs.

Thanks for all the positive responces. I'm working on a batch of new pics. In the meantime here is another pic from my virtue thread.

Another Picture!
Of my Supergroup Mate, Jack Travers!
"Hell of a lollypop!"

Also, my avitar is drawn by Kelp Plankton, I'm not very good with color. I'm kinda' learning to use Photoshop and illustrator 9 but I just don't have the pen/pad comptuer tool and mouse is clumsy.

again thanks!

Hi All, I've been posting my sketches over on the Virtue forums, and I've decided to show some of them to you folks in the Art Threads.

Let me know what you think.

A sketch of Tom "The Juvie" Cooper!

The Once and Future Juvie!

Juvie, by QuietAmerican Its a sketch, but sketches are all I really do. I hope you like it.

[u]Name[u]: The Artful Dodgers

[u]Currently Recruiting[u]:
<ul type="square">
[1]accepting new members
[2]looking for other players/SGs interested in RP
[3]wanting to let others know you exist, etc.[/list]
[u]RP Level[u]: [i]Generally, we are Story Driven Role-players. We accept all levels of role-play, from beginner to advanced.

[u]Theme/Concept[u]: Go ahead, ask yourself...
<ul type="square">
[*]Are you a teenager who's one step away from joining a gang or villain group just to get by?
[*]Do you wish there was a place that understood your Special needs?
[*]Perhaps you want to become apart of something bigger?
[*]Or do you just need a warm place to stay and some company along your way.
[/list]When teens develop meta-powers, they face many risks. Oftentimes these dangers leave them in need of rescuing from their own lives.

Does this sound familiar to you?

We're not just another group-home or community out-reach center offering an empty plate full of good intentions, because we know what it really means to be at risk.

We're your peers.

Come Join Us!

The Artful Dodgers
Home for Wayward Meta-Teens
Celebrating our first year as a super-group on VIRTUE!

Become a hero! The first life you save maybe your own!

[u]Activity[u]: We have a rotating cast of over 25 members, each with fun unique characters. We have players from across the USA and members can be found playing almost any hour, however, we "Peak" during Prime-Time Pacific. We also attempt to have at least one Role-play night. Usually Thursday Nights.

[u]Requirements for Membership[u]: Code of Conduct

The Artful Dodgers were established as a role-play super-group of friendly, helpful players who are expected to aid their teammates and remain active. With those goals in mind, the following bylaws have been established.
<ul type="square">[*] Attendance - Members will be eligible for removal from the group if they are inactive for more than One Month without notification of extended leave. To be considered active, you must log into The Artful Dodgers website at least once a month, and/or you must play an Artful Dodger character in game at least once every two weeks. If you will be unable to log into the website or play in game for more than one month, please notify a Big-Brother/Big-Sister or Counselor. A leave request should include a basic reason for being gone and an expected date of return. If you are absent for more than One month without giving notice we will assume you have quit the group and will then be free to dismiss you from the SG as needed.
[*] Conduct - Be courteous to all players, both in and out of the SG. There is no reason to verbally abuse anybody. Racism, sexism, religious slurs and any other verbal abuse will not be tolerated. Do not grief, kill steal or otherwise cause problems or interfere with other players' enjoyment of the game. On a first offense you may get a warning but there is nothing stopping the officers from immediately dismissing you from the group. As a member of this SG you represent the group in the public eye. Please do not give us a bad image. Always respect other players and be civil.
[*] Power Leveling - Please do not ask anyone to power level you. This is considered poor conduct. We certainly wish to group and have fun, and leveling is part of this. If you require assistance please feel free to ask. However, if somebody offers to power level you (within the group or outside of it), it is okay to accept.
[*] Social Interaction - We are a community and as such encourage social interaction. Teaming up as often as possible is highly recommended. Chatting in the SG chat channel and posting on the forums is also highly recommended. This group is about friendship, fun, and role play. You can't have any of those if no one talks to each other. Role-Play is highly encouraged, but not mandatory. Please be sure to let your team-mates know if you are role-playing in order to prevent confusion.
[*] Level Requirements - We are looking for heroes of any level ranging, from 1 to 50 and back again! We are willing to SK or EX any player for a team.
[*] Archetypes, concepts - We welcome heroes of all types to our SG. However, we are a theme role-play group based on at-risk teens so playing one preferred. Also we accept players who wish to role-play guardians, concilors, or mentors to our group.
[*] Roster - All characters in The Artful Dodgers must be on the Roster on the The Artful Dodgers web site. Minimum required information is character name, origin, archetype, and global handle (complete with @ symbol). [/list]
[u]Leadership[u]:[i]We are not "about" leadership, we are about story. We role-play, improve, and have fun. YOu choose your own level of involvement.

However...
We have four members, listed below, who are considered "Leaders" only to resolve any rare and unavoidable conflicts that might arise before, during, or after game-play.

Thank you.

I blame Dragonberry. I blame Dragonberry for everything.

Sorry after reading Ex Libras' announcement, I went to MadScientist's thread. But Now looking at this thread I think this is the right thread to post this. Sorry for the double posting.

Let's see...
Here is a short list, some of these may already have been posted. Sorry for the repeats if so. Just consider them as restating the necessary.

Yes, most of these are WAY on the Wish/Never gonna happen, but I figure the big things like "More Stackable Items" and "NPC's" like Tomb Raider Butler, are going to be said, over and over.

Enjoy.

<ul type="square">
Wish
Huge Should not = Usable. Followed by possible solution[*] Some objects are far too large. The editor seems to have two sizes, small = unusable but decorative ((Cubical, etc)) and HUGE = usable but far too big ((Supergroup Tables, etc)). Some players look ridiculous sitting at the supergroup table. You feel like a little kid sitting at Grandma's dining room set.[*]Solution: Goldilocks Items 3 Categories of usable items. Small, Med, and Large so that Small Characters, Medium Characters and Large Characters can sit in various sized chairs items. ((The Thing wouldn't sit in a chair made for Susan Storm, and Sue Storm would be uncomfortable sitting in The Thing's chair.))

Wish
Base Editor Preview/Save[*] Base Edit should not take place in "real time." Create Preview Base Instance where you can edit base and save for editing at a later time. Then you can hit an "Apply Changes" and the base will change in Real Time.

Wish / Auras[*] Placeable auras. Applied On Style Objects or In room spaces under lighting. "Apply Aura to Room" where a room's walls or floor will glow, myst, smoke, sparkle, etc.

Wish
New Object Box code[*] All Object Boxes drawn closer to actual object size/shape. AKA Back of Counter/Desks not allowing for their placement flush against each other's backs. Corner Desks should be able to be placed to face in any direction without object box interference.

Bug
Same Type Object box Not matched[*]Objects boxes of Same-type objects seem not to "Match" up exact, but are off by a few pixels, like Blue Straight Couches and Blue Curved Couches do not match up with each other or with themselves. Grey Desks Corners do not match up with Grey Desks, etc.

Wish
New Items[*] Placeable Keyboards.[*] Less Unusable Decorative Items like "Cubical." And more items like "Use able Cubical Walls, Computer Towers, etc.[*] More Generic Items that can be used as building materials. Like how many use the Lateral Files. Boxes, Cylinders, Pyramids, Stones, Blocks, Angled Stones, Basically Stackable Lego like building blocks.

Wish
Bulletin Board[*]Clickable board that can open an Email/Forum Screen or some type so members can leave messages for the entire group.

Wish
Off Angle Placement[*]Everything is only placeable in a NSEW direction. Full rotations or at least quarter rotations of object placement would be a nice touch.

Wish[*]Bridges that can interconnect.

Wish
Other Origins[*] Gear for Natural, Science, Mutant Origins Base Power/Med/Control: Everything is magic and tech. Neutral Control Items like meditation chambers or Mutant Medical pads as Mutant revival goo pools. Come on! I want my "Hamster Wheel" for Natural Power! (LOL)[*] Gear for Natural, Science, Mutant Origins Decorative Items: So far we have Magic, Tech and , Sewer... Sewer?

Wish
Styles[*] New Styles: Tired of Brick, Sewer, Archaic, Tech, Asian. Would like Cave, Trees/Nature, Space, Wood-paneling, Chrome, Drywall, Spanish Tile/Stucco, Adobe, Hide/fur, Bio-organic, Insect hive, Alien, Cabin rustic, country barn, etc. [/list]
P.S. I still want my Tomb Raider butler to follow me around with a plate of tea.
