I made a new outfit for my tanker. I figured I have Emily, my blaster, as part of her backstory being burned and scarred, so her face is not very pleasant to look at. So I thought I would also represent the other side of the coin, by having my tanker be more on the attractive side of things. So here's my attempt.
Update 6-19-10
Not too much to report, but I did get a very nice sketch from Christopher Robin of my scrapper in my birthday thread. Very nice!

The Burnt Matchstick, a Children's Story Illustrated by Wassy, written by Bubbawheat |
I'll be reading this to my 3 year old this evening from my phone I think.
Got a couple things to update on:
My brute on Liberty became my first character to unlock their alpha slot, he'll probably be my go-to guy for some TFs besides the mood TFs on Virtue.
And I went out and got my first commission... kinda. After reading the thread about art for inf, it brought my attention to Heroid who did some great work for me. This was the first time asking for a pose as well, all the other freebies, I just had the artist do what they will with them, as they were freebies, or gifts in many cases. He delivered in spades, and I got a bonus pic out of it, as he wasn't sure if he liked the character better with or without her helmet. The pose I asked for is the one with her holding her helmet.
And a couple older things I hadn't gotten around to posting here yet, they might not be as high quality as some of the submissions here, but I do really like and appreciate them as well.
First up, Kheldarn's self-named Horrible Birthday Avatar Sketch for my birthday - link to his dA page.
And also Eat Me did their own collection of popular CoH stick figures, and I asked for one too.
Several updates here. Must go through and update my individual pages sometime soon.
New art:
From Airhead for the 2011 FArt battle whose theme is fire. I'm not entirely sure what the story is behind this, but it makes me laugh when I see it. I think he's hitting her on the head for some reason? With a magazine?
And a cute sketch from Pocket Tally from their art thread here asking for references.
And also a shot of my newest Burnt Matchstick on that other game DCUO It's ok, but I don't think it will replace CoX.
New characters/costumes:
I haven't gotten around to taking/uploading screenshots, but I've got a new Matchstick on Protector that's part of a Fire Superteam going on there. It's been fun so far, and I'm up to level 11 as a Fire/Therm corruptor using inspiration from Nazgul's Makeover contest a while back. And I used the second place from that contest as inspiration for a costume for my blaster. I really need to figure out which costumes I like the best on her, I keep changing them every week for the In The Mood TFs and keep finding ones that I want to keep.

That makes much more sense, and it's even funnier now.

kidding
I believe it's a matchbox and he's trying to "strike" her.
Here's a reworked version of the picture, with apologies to all sources and to anyone confused by the previous version. It's a thumbnail link. I'll update my FArt post.

A few more additions. First, a couple costumes I finally got around to making. They are inspired by the Costume Makeover contest that Nazgul did a while back. The one I declared winner was Henri with his bright match style, and this is how I interpreted his design on my new Corruptor on Protector - currently level 12.
Next up was the second place, which many thought was the best design - simple but elegant - from Mariner. And this is what I did with it on my Blaster on Virtue.
A short update for my blaster page to put some reference pics in there, and as I haven't shared it here yet, a great piece I got from Cami for posting references first in her thread. Of my controller on Guardian.
A nice piece done by Cami for being the first to post after a request for references. (click for dA page)
I totally love the Cami piece, Bubba! Gratzzz!!!

Another piece for my Tanker on Pinnacle, I went back to this character again for my first commission... with real money this time instead of just inf. Foo advertised some "quick colors" and I decided to go ahead and jump on it. The concept was all mine, and after a couple tweaks it turned out pretty well - Anne showing off her welding skills:
Another older update, a chibi sketch of my Brute on Liberty with his pumpkinhead costume. She was offering free sketches, and of course I can't resist some free arts. Hopefully I'll get the chance to color it sometime.
Update: Last night I was running Positron Part 2 on Pinnacle with my Burnt Matchstick tanker, and she reached level 50, and got task force commander!
Congrats!!
Another piece of gift art from Caemgen by Dingodile24 on deviantArt. It's my blaster on Virtue who spends most of her playtime on the 606 Friday TFs, and this is something nice to show their appreciation for my commitment to the team being there almost every week for quite a while now. Loads of fun! (PS. thanks Caemgen for reminding me about this, for some reason I was thinking I already had posted it here)
Just picked up a great commission from Camille Thompson here on the forums, or mvmarcz on deviantArt from a great bust sale. Very quick turnaround, and very happy with it. (click for larger version)
from this costume on my blaster on Virtue.
Dr. Destiny on deviantArt asked for some character references to do some free pieces for. And he picked my character as the 4th one out of 5, and it turned out great.
Yes it did!!!!!
Very awesome! Congrats! :P
A couple new things in the land of the Burnt Matchsticks.
First - more free arts. I have a knack for getting these things. This one is from KainTheBest, new around these parts and does some awesome and fast work. Got a free sketch card for watching him on deviantArt.
Second - another Burnt Matchstick hit level 50. My Dominator on Triumph. 4 down, lots to go.
Now, I need to update with a couple new Matchsticks - my Mastermind and new Brute. And have a few more screenshots of costumes. I almost want to start a new thread so I can organize everything better... or maybe a website somewhere. Who knows.
I love your story about Flit. You and Miss Wassy each get +10 Interwebz!
Congrats on earning Level 50. You get +5 Interwebz for getting to Lv. 50 ... AND +5 more for doing it on Virtue!
You got +20 Interwebz ... all in a single post! YAY!
