I'm Taller Than You :P

Alright this is my first post on the forums, and since I'm an artist, I felt it only right that my first post be with some CoH art.

So, before you guys go "Yay art!" here's a quick little back story about where this came from. When I first started playing CoH, my first character, Rizerax, was a tiny little blue demon. She was as short as I could make her. I ended up playing alot with my friend, Megumi Yamato. Meg, is freakin huge. I think she said she was like 7'6", and I got the feeling that she got a kick out of being that tall.

So what did I do? I created Thackary, for the solo purpose of being taller than Meg. I maxed out the height and leg scales on character creation, and even gave him the spiky hair to top it off.

I imagine this to be the in-game moment when he gets to rub it in Meg's face that he's now the tallest in the Super Group.

As far as the art goes, I am absolutely thrilled with how Thackary's neck and chest came out... *he is so hot* (ok, bad pun for a fire/dual blade tanker... hehe). While I am very pleased with how the entire color stage of this came out, in my original pencils/ink, I think the problem I always had with Meg, was she looked far older than the player or I ever envisioned her. And I think Thackary's forehead is too short.

Comments, critiques, always welcome, and please check out the rest of my deviant art page, I have a version of this pic up with out the speech bubbles if you guys want to see.

1. Very nice, very comic style art
2. Very Funny. I got strange looks as I read "yep still shortest"
3. Post More, you are good!
4. Watch out for TA now that he's seen you.

Only Critique is Meg's speech bubble is hard to read with the black on Dark Red.

and before TA asks...

How can I get arts from you? =D

Thank you!

I guess Meg's speech bubble could be hard to read. It looks fine to me, but when I clicked on the picture to make it the smaller version, it does get fuzzy, so I see what you're talking about. (I have my DevArt set up so pages automatically load w/ the image full size. The default is the small image loads first. Perhaps if you clicked on the pic to make it full size that would help?)

As far as getting arts from me? Meg told me to answer this question with many $$$$'s, but I'm also open to the whole barter system as well. I'm working on getting a pricing list of sorts going, or a page of "stuff I'd like gifted to me". I suppose best answer is pm or email (preferably email for this type of thing) me with what you'd like and we'll work something out.

Who's TA?

"TA" if I'm not TOTALLY out of the loop, would be Thor's Assassin, who plays on Justice server, and is known to be the resident Art Hunter. Also other more derogatoty names, but I think those are best left to the imagination of the reader ^_^

As for the inevitable question of how *I* get art from her? I bake cookies and pizelles, make/pay for her dinner, fetch her drinks, spot for movies, and critique her artwork even when it's not about me <_<

Oh, and I whine. ALOT. But that usually results in me getting hit more than the production of art. Ah well.

As for me, I'm absolutely THRILLED with how it turned out. I still wonder if there shouldn't be more definition on Thackary's chest, but that's about it. Maybe I would repharse how Meg's saying that, but the gist is there ;D

I'm super-proud of you Rizer! Welcome to the wide and far-reaching world of art showdowns! XD

TA

Well, since Meg's shown up. I suppose I should start using

[image]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v309/Ayamai/artslave.png[/image]

as my signature... If I can get my signature to work w/ BBC code. I know I'm not that scatter brained that I should be able to handle the code, but it keeps showing up in code rather than showing the image...

*muttering to myself*...jeeze does this not work in preview mode...I'm not seeing it...I'm having technical difficulties here *head desk* I'm just leaving my post as is, maybe somebody can tell me what I'm doing wrong...

Images dont work here. you can link it as an HTML though so they click and view the page

And hello to you Meg!

Hello! *waves!*

Very nice! ^_^

Yup disabled! And welcome aboard! And don't fear TA I don't think he has been getting much art done lately.

Also don't ever ever mention the m-word on these forums (i.e. $) just put list on your DA page and point people over there.

Welcome aboard! +watch!

*also starts wondering why no one ever says 'watch out for rowr!' *

Wow...

The talent level here just spiked again.

The facial expressions are perfect. The style is amazing, and the colour and shading are beautiful.

Very nice. Love the hand coming up 'Still the shortest'

Lots of great work in your gallery too!

Very Awesome Art! +Watch

Yay! Art!

Yaaaay new artist!!! Hi! Very cute. Rizerax is adorable *snickerfits*

Very nice! Another to watch on DA, for sure.

Welcome!

That's a nice pic -- it's funny as well as well-drawn. It's the excellent coloring that really pushes it over the top.
