I try to get a piece of artwork done for each character that hits 50. Some get more than one, some non-50s get them. I'd had a nice freebie that had been done of my Fire/Fire blaster (well, one of them) - Hot Purrsuit - earlier, but I hadn't commissioned a more detailed piece.

I'd gotten nice work done by Cric before (like Therra Malevola, a ways above, still one of the more popular bits I'd had done) and since he was available, I tapped him for this. Don't even think I mentioned her having super speed... Love how it turned out.

Way cool, nice motion in it

Nice. How hard is it to get these done? (I know we can't talk about prices.) And how do you find these?


Wanted: Origin centric story arcs.
If you've only played an AT once (one set combo) and "hate" it - don't give up. Roll a different combo. It may just be those sets not clicking for you.

Not hard - fairly easy. And findign people through here, or DA itself (ThorsAssassin has a section on commissionable artists, and some I find via browsing) or just word of mouth.

Since I'm dropping down to premium (or just taking off all together, not 100% sure yet, taking a break one way or another,) I (quite obviously!) won't be able to post a piece or two I'm waiting on - or stuff I'll end up having done later.

(In game or not, I still enjoy the characters, after all.)

So, for future bits and pieces:
Photobucket - I put everything here. Note a few deserve two-click warning.
Deviantart - I'm *bad* at updating this. But it does, generally, get updated.

Since I'm in doing some maintenance (and mostly playing TOR these days, but nothing there's inspiring art) I thought I'd update this with the most recent acquisitions. Still waiting for bakart to finish one piece I've wanted done for literally years, and decided he was the one to do it. So expect one more update before this re-runs out.

You may have seen these on DA

1. Medi Christmas - Taclobanon.
Character - medikitty, Freedom, 50 Emp/Rad.



2. Keres Mot - also Taclobanon
Ice/Dark Corruptor... that I still should finish at some point.

Awesome new additions since I was last here, MB!! I most especially love Medi Christmas!! She doesn't seem to mind getting smacked by a snowball!

Wondered if this'd come in while I could still post it Though if you're in the group over on DA, it's showing up, as well.

Piece I've had in mind for a while, finished by Bakart - not the way I originally *had* in mind, but it works out far better this way in showing the three involved. Two of which I've had artwork done of before.

Seeker209, going to exile, is the main character on the left. Materra (shadow in the back, second frame) watching him go, and Sinister Nova, a stalker (and a shadow in Materra's frame) thinking she's destroyed his family (and about to get a shock when she finds out otherwise.)






I should write up the full story there. And the various little details behind it (such as why Materra's skin is blue - and why she's irritated by it - though that's mentioned over on DA, or why Nova's rather pleased with herself.)

Bakart always does great work! And this one is no exception! Gratz on the fine new piece of artz, MB!!

Avionecta I fell in love with her style the second I saw it, her colors are superb and I don't think I can't reccommend her enough!

Exile (the 3 panel) - Seeker209, Materra, Sinister Nova (and you can see the shadows from the next character in the background of each) - by Bakart
Stuck on you (the frisbee piece) - Materra and Seeker, semaj007

(all names, other than graver/kehpra, are the deviantart IDs.)
