The Masked Shrike

I have a feeling many of us have dreamed of doing just that, Blitzwing

I take terrible screenshots but what the heck.

Hello, sailor!

Next to your fire

Heart of light

Nighttime is the right time

Living dead girl

The Masked Shrike says: Buy War Bonds!

Her work is lovely and her style really suits your character. Congrats on a beautiful piece!

She looks great and I really like the backstory

Gosh, are you still accepting these? If so, I'll toss one into the ring. If not, please disregard.

"Hiya, pal! Hey, want a piece of Black Jack?" Grinning, the Shrike pulled out a pack of gum. "Or say, how about an autographed picture, huh? Sure ya do, buddy--ain't every day you meet the hottest thing in the sky!" She signed the photo The Shrike STRIKES! with a flourish. "There ya go, kid. Y'know how I love my fans!"

"Now, outta the way, there, pal." She finished lacing her boots and hopped down from the sleek airplane's wing, pausing to button her flight jacket. With a final wink, she snapped her goggles down. "Okay, kid, I gotta scram." In a blaze of golden light she swept into the air. "This has been swell, but I got some Nazi heads to bust!"

Stunning.

What a cool idea! How neat is that?

Scary guy, great pose, another McKinney win!

Awesome! Love the pose. And he's kinda cute

Nice! Another beautiful piece!

Everybody did such a great job, I love these. Niviene, I am digging the towel...reminds me of playing 'superheroes' as a kid!

I've been at it again, gods help me, I can't stop:

I'm embarrassed to admit how long I've been playing with this thing. How fun!

I'm surprised at how close I was able to get on some things. Thanks for sharing this link, I can see it will be another place I spend far too much time!

Very cool, sexy and scary. CB always comes up with great details, too.

These really are great, the linework is beautiful, there is touching sentiment and humor. Outstanding. Also, the Captain is hot.

MMOArt is definitely on my wishlist (along with Juggertha). I'm glad to hear they're still around, I was a bit worried! I haven't seen one thing from them that wasn't amazing.

Thanks for the kind words, guys. I'm blown away by the talent of the artists.

I'm sort of embarrassed to admit I may be spending more time browsing DA than playing CoH these days. I just love seeing all the character art. And thanks to this forum I've found sooo many great artists and characters and enablers...um, I mean fellow enthusiasts...

And thanks for the good word there about the Shrike, Ironik. I'm pretty fond of the ol' girl myself!

Wow! Simply gorgeous, she's just leaping out of the page.

Happy birthday! Remember, once you get over the hill, you roll faster.

Nice! Very powerful, and I like the tension produced by the colors and background.

Cool backstory, cool looking character. I wish we'd get a chance to see a Circus War in game!

That's hot! She puts me in mind of Emma Peel by way of The Bride. Sexy and scary.

It's been a good few days for art here. Here's a new piece by the wonderful John Becaro:
Masked Shrike and Ms. Afterburner

And one by the very talented BragaDoom:
Masked Shrike

Here's one by the fabulous CelticBolt:
The Scarlet Specter

And a recent piece by the fantastic Bokuman:
A handful of hero

Thanks to all the artists for being awesome!

Hon, I know the feeling. I, too, am a newly-assimilated art addict. I don't think there is a cure.

That being said, I love this piece. Great pose. Aren't you glad you gave in to the temptation?

Wow! What a great idea, I love seeing all the different costumes and looks. And I love her style, too.

Holy cow. That whups some behind. Grats on some very cool art there.

I've been thinking that I might have to put Taclobanon on my wishlist--now I know I will.

I like the lines, I always like clean lines, and the graceful pose. Great job!
