TheImperial

Gonna be trying to log a few hours in game finally this weekend come tomorrow afternoon.

Would love to get my main redside guy Hellcat Jones up to 40 from 35.5.

So, if anyone's around and got rogues they want to put to use, lemme know!

Quick reply/update (because it's three-something in the morning, goddamnit). We had an ad-hoc meeting of the minds of six of us earlier this week to get the ball rolling a bit.

SG is live and called The Strange. Fun times to be had coming soon. Tally ho. Carry on. So on so forth. I'm going to bed.

You know, I honestly might not be doing much, leveling-wise. The only character I'm leveling at the moment I'm deliberately taking my time with to enjoy content as much as I can.

That said, I might take advantage of the people online to try and run my controller version of The Imperial to the dark side, pick up the Mace patron pool, and back blueside again as fast as I can.

Not to sound like Debbie Downer, but I'm still looking for someone details-minded who'd be interested in helping me run this from an administrative side. Without that, I'm not going to launch this only to watch it dissolve in weeks or months due to my own capriciousness. That not fair to anybody and is a waste of everyone's time.

It's a mess, but been piddling away at finally updating Imp's profile with a major overhaul. So, if you want to take a look under the hood while I work on things, keep it mind this is a (very obvious) WIP:

You're a helluva writer, Wrecks. Looking forward to the start of the shenanigans tonight.

GAAAAAAAAAH @#^%$@%^#@$%^#$%^

I had a long reply to everyone individually... and then accidentally closed the tab in my browser.

So.

The Too Long; Can't Read version:

I've made a channel - MonsterOOC - if you'd like to chat about this in-game. I'm @TheImperial, and those who have expressed interest will be seeing a global friends invite from me soon.

Hey gang,

Is there interest in a roleplaying supergroup that would fill a niche in the RP community along the following lines:

• Hellboy
• Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense (B.P.R.D)
• DC's Frankenstein (and the Creature Commandos)
• Marvel's Legion of Monsters
• Dan Brereton's Nocturnals
• Pulp magazines & genre
• Urban fantasy genre

I've recently returned to City of Heroes after several years away. Although I'm having a blast being back, truth be told, I'm still fairly burnt out on traditional capes-and-spandex archetypes (I spent a lot of time, mental energy, and art commissioning moolah on my namesake hero back in the day).

That said, the intersection of monsters, creepy creatures, and fantasy figures with the modern world and heroic stories has always excited me, and since I've returned I've been spending the majority of my time playing as and trying to develop an IC feel for the Strange Siberian Snowman. In my opinion, the game setting supports such an RP angle, especially when you consider Croatoa, (Dark) Astoria, the Circle of Thorns, and other types (ie I'm not trying to break the setting by bringing in other games' canon such as the World of Darkness and such).

Would anyone be interested in collaborating together a building an RP supergroup along these lines? I think it could be both a fun break from the norm, a chance to really foster an underdeveloped niche in the RP community (if I've missed some big SG, please let me know), and do some fun storytelling at the same time.

But like I said, I'm really interested in collaborating here. I'm a stereotypical ENFP (for those Myers-Briggs geeks out there) insomuch as I'm pretty damn fantastic coming up with ideas and concepts and getting folks exited about them, but need some balancing help when it comes to follow through and organization.

So, sales pitch over. Anyone interested in something like this?

Been doing some major aesthetic work on a couple of my pages, including my main/namesake The Imperial, which is starting to look pretty good.

And then there's my spec-ops action-movie hero-inspiration, Brannon Baron who is brand new and being a blast to play with the GI Joe types at SCORPIO.

I'm still open for commissions, if anyone would like some work done.

Ha!

Nice poster, Sin!

Just a little bump, that's all

Hey friends,

I'm wanting to practice my digital coloring and thought I might make it an art gift and/or trade request.

One of my main characters, Hellcat Jones really needs some art. I'm looking for pencils and inks (like I hinted at, I'll ruin... finish the picture out with my colors), but with a specific pose in mind:

If you would be interested in helping me out here or working out a quid pro quo with some of my logo design or forum signatures in return, let me know.

I'll be adding some information about the costume, including screenshots here in a bit.

I hope it works out for you, but you should know that quoting prices for commission work here is a big no-no. I'd make a link to it on DA and post the info there instead.

Eek! Thanks for the heads-up; I didn't know.

Hubby?

Hi friends,

Yesterday night I got saddled with a $242 ticket for failing to yield at a stop sign. I don't have that kind of money sitting around (in the nonprofit world as a donor-supported minister type guy working with young adults and college students, I live hand to mouth as it is).

I will be taking commissions with a goal to reach $242 within the next month. A gambit? Of course, but that's what makes life fun.

Here's a list of services I will be offering for great rates:

1. Logotypes (for characters, organizations, etc - your hero's logo would look great on a shirt or messenger bag!)

2. Comic / Magazine Covers (Screenshot or art provided by you, logotype by me. Take it to Kinko's and get that bad boy printed up!)

3. Posters (11x17 print resolution, perfect for concerts or near anything else)

4. Other branding, print, and web design (built with web standards!): Please see me for more information.

Please note that these prices are special deviantART and City of Heroes fan community rates, and do not include the standard amount of pre-design consultation and multiple revisions I offer to my professional clients.

If you would like my professional services, then we can hash that out as well.

Please help me pay my traffic citation!

You can view some of my work at my deviantART site.

Your very truly,

Will, aka TheImperial

Doesn't sound like you're looking for logo 'design' work. Sounds more like logo production with all the guidance.

Wow, no kidding.

Not interested on several levels.

Best of luck to you in finding an artist!

Agreed, that is absolutely wonderful music!

Foiled again! Hahah.

I am working on a series of classic pulp magazine covers under the title of Dread Tales of Destiny as a storytelling device to record the adventures of the Grave Bell.

Here are the first three!
