Hello Heroes!

Nightstep hit 50 yesterday so I took a minute to make another desktop. Nothing too exciting here. I know I know, I am still using that bridge screeine


Nightstep!

Thanks for looking!

Small change here. I ran that kickass unique Carnie map today and finally had the presence of mind to grab some screenies. Beats the hell outta that tired bridge anyway.

Nightstep Carnie Redux!

cool, I love that map!

Much more interesting.

that's a cool ninja costume!

Well Nightstep hes been re-invented with some of the Vanguard options! Those costume pieces are very cool IMO but lots of folks like them. So the challenge becomes, how do I make use of these pieces while still looking unique? I messed around with a lot of combinations in an attempt to keep the ninja-esque feel of my character while adding a more tech oriented look.

In the end I couldn't be happier with the new Nightstep. So he gets the treatment again!

Tech Ninja!

Thanks for looking!

and just in case your interested here's all my flavors.

Powerforge > costume generator

I really hated those clunky looking pieces, but you made them look superb. I guess the right color combination can make anything look grand.

I like his new hat.

W00T! Back from the dead! lol

Hello heroes! I drifted away from CoH for a bit but I11 is callin' and I'm back for a bit I think. This isn't really much of a wallpaper, very simple indeed but I wanted to get back in the swing of it and the Talsorian blade is just da shizzle baby! Jay really is Teh Sechsie!

Operative Nightshade

Thanks for looking!

Hello Heroes!

I have really been enjoying my new Mace/Willpower tank! I have wanted to create a Norse type hammer character for a long time but was really struggling with the costume. Trying to rip off Thor without, you know, looking like I am ripping off Thor. hehe. Concept and backstory go a long way with me and over the last few days his costume and history really came together for me.

While he's only level 11 atm I think this one will be my sixth 50...Not that I have 5 other 50s..heh.. I mean I do other stuff... just ask my wife.

She's around here...someplace.

Wellanyway!

Can't wait to hit 20 and get that all white cape with the deep purple lining. Right honey?
















Honey?

Well spank my bottom and call me fanboi if you must, but I think that's a thunderhead fulla awesome.

Oh Jeez. Here I go tweaking again... Ah well, you all know to expect it.

Hammerforge with Runes!

Tries for something a bit different with this one. Going for a more subtle look and I am very pleased with the outcome!


Hammerforge again!

Thanks TA! I've given serious thought to doing wallpapers for other folks but in the end I guess I just don't want the commitment lol. I take promises very seriously and I know I would obsess over each piece until it was done and the subject was happy. You see how often I tweak ones I've already posted.
Then there's the time requirement. It doesn't take too long to do one really, two to five hours. But I have a full time job as a lineman for the phone company, three wonderful kids, and I spend about 90 minutes at the gym 6 days a week hehe. I'd hate to promise something to someone and then have RL make them wait.

I've considered trading Inf for them but I doubt there's enough interest for folks to do that.

Anyway, thanks for the kind words!

Well I cranked out another one today. I had a different intent with this one at the start but really struggled with it. In the end I had to settle for a bit of a hybrid of the last two wallpapers.

I have a feeling this one will get a significant update sometime. I really want to find a different background for it but the end result is still pretty good I think. The foreground shot of Hammerforge came out very exciting.

I'd be down for this. I think if i could get you to do some for me that I could add them in the splash program and have some cool stuff to look at while loading the game.

Listen, anyways, I totally get what your saying bro i do so don't sweat it1


it's just that I have a rep to keep up and all.....

Now that's a cool one, fo' shore.

Man, that just rocks!

Hello Heroes!

What a great week I had last week! I have been on vacation and enjoying my family. My three kids have been off as well, so it was Christmas toys and sledding and all kinds of great stuffz!

Alas my playmates are back to the grind this week and I still have two days off. Actually kinda enjoying the peace and quiet now... must be getting old.

BUT I DIGRESS!

I mean really, who gives a damn about all that! This is the artz forumz! To that end I have two new Wallpapers to go up but first a bit of an explanation.

For over a year now I have been wanting to do a wallpaper featuring all the main players in my SG. Which really means all my characters as I am really the only main player . Incredible Inc. is the SG I started shortly after I departed War Gods over a year ago and it consists solely of myself and a friend from work.

I really like the large two page spreads you often see in comics that are just packed full of say, every X-Man evah and such. I have also really drug my feet on this project though, as it seemed a bit daunting to try to fit all 10 of my favorite characters on one wallpaper. And it turned out to be damn near impossible. So I made two!


Incredible Inc. 1

from left to right:

Battleforge - Oldest team member. Nanotech Armor and Katana. A Master strategist. Level 50 Kat/Inv Scrapper
Gammaforge - Radioactive techsmith with cyber wings. Level 15 Rad/Rad defender.
Powerforge - Youngest team member. Orphan son of famous peacebringer. Feels he has a lot to prove. May be the most powerful team member. Level 50 Peacebringer.
The Pale American - Scary. Taught by a ghost from the future he may be humanity's ruin. Although viewed with suspision by his teamates he has yet to ever let them down. Level 50 DM/DA Scrapper.
Xcelerate - Scientist turned pure energy. Carries a huge grudge against Nemesis. Held together by his suit which was crafted by a fellow scientist and also his wife of 14 years.


Incredible Inc. 2

Hammerforge - Has known great loss. But in the moment of his death he refused to go to save the life of a small girl. Gifted with a Valkyrie's Warhammer for his courage. Level 41 Mace/WP Tanker.
Godbreaker - Reanimated spirit of an egyptian Pharoah he has lost almost all of his memories, though they are slowly returning. Inhabits a body sculpted of the Black Sands of Mu. Level 31 MA/Reg Scrapper.
Archlight - Pure of heart and righteous to the end he was gifted his powers from a being who seems to be none other than an angel from heaven. Never does the wrong thig.Ever. Sees the world in black and white.
Circus Fatalis - Claims to be from the Praetorian Circus of Light. Not much else is known about him. Level 11 DM/SR Scrapper.
Cybergator - An abandoned house pet grown to large he survived and changed by feeding off Vazhilslok Zombies and Rikti monkeys in the sewers. In search of long lost owner and friend. Level 26 Claws/Reg Scrapper.



Whew! That's a lot of writing for meh!

There is one omission on the roster. Operative Nightshade. I just couldn't figure out how to fit 6 people in one pic and still keep it feeling balanced so someone hadda go! I chose not to include him because he is so dark and there are already a preponderance of dark characters in these.

So anyway. Thanks for looking and I hope you enjoy them.

Oh jeez... I had to go and do it. *sigh* until they make me a monitor that'll display this I guess this will have to do.

Incredible Wide!

Watch out. Huge file.

Thanks for looking.
