Night elves, blood elves, tauren, sith, jedi, vigilantes, villains... you name it, man. :-)

Hey kids. Got a couple more to share that you may not have seen. :-)

Dynamistress (created by V.M. Wales) protecting the innocent...

And here's an elf from that other game.


Haven't uploaded anything else, though I've done 23 pieces in our first month back online! Yay!

Currently working on an action shot of FireBrandi. Trying to get the camera to play nicely and give me a nice angle of her slicing open a Malta Titan mech!

Anyway - I'm on Guardian in the evenings and weekends lately with my supergroup, Force Veritas ("In Truth - JUSTICE!") and we're TF running machines lately - Sister Psyche this Sat. at noon!)
Hit me up in-game @Uziel 21 and say "hi!"


ETA: A few clients have posted their Hero Portraits elsewhere on the Forum. Here's where to find them in case you missed them!

Man. My prayers (such as they are) for a speedy and full recovery, Comrade.

On the art side: the CP photo-manips are among some of the best I've seen in a while! When I first started learning PShop, back when dinosaurs roamed during version 3, I was working for an indy comic company in San Antonio. One of my first assignments was photo-manip... I know how tricky it is to get it to look right. The only thing harder would have been to monochrome it, since you can't use color to distract from inconsistencies.

Chilly did a great job. Your girls look wonderful!

Spectacular work!
The first piece is breathtaking. WOW.

BIG Shadow fan.
BIG Rocketeer fan.
IN LOVE with McKinney's Shrike piece! Amazing work! Classic.


Aside: your design for Pin-Up Girl is teh BIZZOMB.

That's a GORGEOUS look. Very "godlike" without really leaning toward any one mythology. I'm just stunned that you were able to pull it off with the CoH costume items! Not that they are bad at all, but they can be fairly specific when they are not purposefully bland and non-threatening from a design standpoint. That's why I love it when a player pulls off an original with style. And you have done that!

Man, I'm just floored. I even like the biggie shoulderpads for this look.

Spectacular job!

Nah, TA... just me.

Of course, the problem with that is now I want another one already...

You know where to find me, man!
You were awesome to work with. Thanks so much!

Actually, there are carefully manipulated reflections of six gunmen... four of which are accounted for in the foreground of the image.

Thing is, with the effects and ambient doodads I painted in, those hard reflections turn into creepy inferences... a bit darker and less clear. Not my original intention, but it works!

SEE WHAT I MEAN!?!??!!!!

It's just such a dense idea... once it's in your head it's pretty easy to let your imagination just take over.

Very freaking cool!
*sigh!* I loooooooooooove comics!

It's not a giant heaving big deal, man.
She's just, kinda elemental... almost in the classic sense. At least visually. And Malta's all about hardware and brute, violating force and the "will of Man." So having the two meet is pretty epic on a couple of levels.

I like the idea of seeing her execute a Fire Sword circle, and taking out some evil mercs with SMGs and stuff. Or tearing open the "chest" of a Titan mech. Y'know?

I think I am just a sucker for the hoary old man vs. nature dynamic; and that's something which could be played up with our girl (...ok ok... YOUR girl!) to a pretty cool result.

The fact that she's a mutant and would be fighting Sapiens is another angle.
Woman vs. men is another.
See what I'm getting at? You could really just go crazy.

She's a cool concept.

Nearly there, my friend. I like the analog stuff too.
We're kinda new... so we're just trying to get solid on the basics as a team for right now.

Fear not, though. The analog and multiple artist options are on our Immediate Future whiteboard.

If it's a SPECIFIC villain for whom you have specific design directions, then yes. If you just wanna see your dude beating the heck of **insert random villain faction/type/style here**, then no.

I add additional figures to action shots as I see fit, and as best suits the image.


Hope I answered that fully.


ETA: (I secretly pray for a chance to do FireBrandi vs. Malta Group. I don't know why, but I've had the image in my head since Sunday.)

Working on one of those starting Monday.
Action can be SO much fun!

We'll keep doing our best!
Thanks for the support!!!

LOVE it...!

TYVM RB!

Now THAT character would be a challenge!
I hope that you try us out... but if you do, give us a bit of warning. I'd like to take Sleep on a nice dinner date. Y'know. To say GOODBYE!

I'm werkin', I'm werkin'!!!

Hey guys.
I wish I had time or inclination to post more! Just in general... Unfortunately A) I'm a bit more of a lurker on the forums by nature, and B) I really have, like, 10 minutes a day that are ALL MINE! And I'd mostly rather play than write!

So anyway, wrapped up some art recently, and wanted to share with you guys.

ALSO... since I'm not on as much as I'd like to be, I felt I should take this opportunity to thank all the folks who have been so welcoming and positive! With special InternetLuv to Thor's Assassin, Lady Judgement, Mrs. AlphaOne, Dark Ether, Strawberry Quick. You guys have been here awhile, so when you say "It Is Good," well, that carries a lot of spinach with me. So thank you!
And Niviene: You have been sweet as sugar since day one. Thank you for helping me adjust to the pace/rules of the Forums, and for being really kind.


OK. That is all. BACK TO WORK!!!!

Guys,
Thanks very much for all the positive feedback!
TA is an awesome character to work with - fully imagined and beautifully designrd. So most of the work was done for me. :-)

Looking forward to working with your toons in the future!

Don't know if you've seen the 2nd WIP, TA... I JUST NOW uploaded it.
You'll note that is is cropped like crazy. That's because the rest of it came out so good, I wanted to save it as a surprise, but still update you.

I think it is pretty much EXACTLY what we talked about. :-)

Building your NemStaff this weekend (*cracks his knuckles and glares at Hexagon), so wish me luck!

Well... I think I'm pretty good! :-)
Tell you what, though... hold for a bit; I'm working on one right now with a bit of a bonfire in it for this forum's own beloved TA. Take a look at that, then YOU decide! :-)

Have a great weekend!

Absolutely LOVE the hair on all your figures.
LOVE.
