The damn biggest group shot ever: The Guruverse

Heh, sorry about the lurid thread title.

Anyway, I teased a while back that I had been working on a huge CoH project and would post it soon... well, here it is!

The Guruverse

It's the finished lineart for the so called Guruverse poster. The Guruverse (as we decided to call it at some point) is a huge joint project of the CoHGuru.com player community where all community members were able to get in their own or others' City of Heroes/Villains characters. The final count is 110 characters, although I was hoping to put in some more... Some of them you'll know from this community, from the CoH comics, the pre-beta forum or just Virtue (where most of them play).

The one and only Veikira is working on the colors for this baby as we speak, which makes me incredibly proud (having him color it, I mean ). I am very much looking forward to see it finished and will upload it to my page RP Visions then.

Hope you all enjoy it!

"City of Heroes. April 27, 2004 - August 31, 2012. Obliterated not with a weapon of mass destruction, not by an all-powerful supervillain... but by a cold-hearted and cowardly corporate suck-up."

I love how you can see each character's personality in their facial expression. And the bunny ears by Humor behind Grae Knight's head is priceless

Wow... that is really cool! Each character is so wonderfully expressive. I'm bummed I missed out on getting Light-Speed into line for the photoshoot.

Dang man, that seriosuly reminds me of an old Marvel Universe Super Poster I use to have when I was like 18 (32 now). But the best thing about it is, it's all CoX!! Great stuff. If you color it, and have posters made, I'll buy one! WOOT!!

Poison -- awesome piece! I dig the callback to the ol' Kevin Maguire Justice League covers with the CoH twist. Man, 110 characters? Did you get your eyes checked afterwards? Nice job!

[/ QUOTE ] Actually, the thing that got all of this started was the cover to Civil War Files by the amazing Steve McNiven. Alex Ross' Kingdom Come covers were a big (and challenging) inspiration and I learned a lot about facial expressions from Maguire (LOVE his stuff).
My eyes luckily work as badly as ever. Seriously though, drawing this was a lot of fun and Veikirae had to stop me from adding more and more characters, reminding me that he had to color it all!

Lots of time, a lot more patience, a lot of diskspace for all those screenshots and enough space on the floor to put together all the sheets this was drawn on (the original drawing is 3 feet by 28 inches).
