Hey all,

I've been commissioning various pieces for my characters since this summer and a new one just arrived .

And one by Bokuman (some tweaks to the colors still pending)~

Nike IX by Bokuman

I have about 20 more sketches from the San Diego Comic Con. These are some quick photos rather than scans, so I appoligize in advance for the crappy light. I'll replace these with proper scans eventually .

Batches 1 and 2 from Comic-Con~

David Nakayama (He did some of the the CoH Comics. He was doing free headshots at the con. I was about 16th in the line to get one and very excited )
Ron Lim
John Watkins-Chow (This was his first take on the character.)
John Watkins-Chow (This was his second attempt after muttering 'I could've done better...' when he saw some of the other peices I was carrying around. Seemed like a good idea to let him have another go and it turned out to be one of my favorites )
Mathew Clark
Phillip Tan (I love how matter-of-fact this one is. She's very real in this piece.)
Kim DeMulder (Funny story - this man was the Kubert School art instructor for several of the other artists who did pieces at the show. Seeing his work and me mentioning I was going to have him grade their pieces seemed to help sharpen their concentration considerably .)
Pat Gleason (I'd been enjoying his work in Green Lantern Corps - something I realized only after he had started the piece and shown me a rough .)
Fredie Williams (Proof that the slighly cheaper "bust only" price can still get you a damn fine piece. Possibly my favorite face of any of them - somebody is about to get handed a beating I think .)

More on the way !

Nike IX is up to level 30 so far and is a Radiation/Radiation Defender. After playing through the game to 50 and beyond as an Empathy/Energy, I have to admit I'm liking this build a bit more. The toggle PBAoE hold is a riot .

This is the fist character I've heavily tricked out with inventions. Some of them (Performance Shifter proc in my stamina) are just silly powerful . I'm mostly going for procs (to make weird custom powers!), regen bonuses, and the occasional recharge rate bonus when I can get it. Soloing a -lot- of missions (my contact bars are almost all filled) has given me a couple weird/rare recipe drops and a couple sessions just cleaning out the junk recipies at Wentworths has given me the money to build some cool stuff .

Those are nice commissions - congrats!

Thank you ! I've been having way too much fun wandering around Deviant Art .

Beautiful work, congrats on both pieces!

I think I just about made Nakuru and Juggy's heads explode getting all the details perfect, but they were both troopers and it shows. Bokuman got the plague for his Christmas present (poor thing), so he hasn't gotten back on the colors, but even now I'm very happy with it. You'll be seeing a few more of the ussual suspects' work up here soon .

Knew I had seen your character somewhere, then you I hit the Bokuman piece and thought "That's where I've seen her".

Great collection you've got going.

Very cute character you got there!

Thanks . it was kind of on a lark that I got the first couple done, but now its turning into a real hobby .

The San Diego pictures were all kinda serious and technical (and came out very well for the most part). I'm trying to balance the collection with a few more styles, so I've gotten some anime and Bruce Timm-looking ones recently.
