Heh, outstanding works is actually a big reason for me slowing down... I want to stay on top of what's done, what's not, who has been paid, who wants me to wait for sketches etc, and that sort of thing. I still have a dozen or more in the works and I don't want keeping track of them to become a job...
Not to say money is no issue at all - I'm not Bill Gates... But being a single guy with a decent paying job does have it's advantages 
. (coworkers keep telling me I'll start working overtime once I have a wife and kids... I keep telling them that's why I don't have a wife and kids!)
Caemgen! You are gathering quite a nice collection of kool artz!!!

^^ agreed. This is very impressive.
Thanks but all praise, flattery and compliments is due the artists, not me. They're the ones with the skill, talent and dedication... I'm just a guy who chose to spend his disposable income on graphic arts instead of the many talents of the Canadian Ballet. 
I am quite fond of the gallery though, not a clunker in the group... They're all a fave of mine in one aspect or another.

That person's style is very storybook. It's great.

Yep... I've kind of decided that one of my little sidelines in getting character art is getting works from people who don't really do the comic book style... Not my main focus by any means but I like the idea of getting the artists to step outside what they normally do as well as seeing how the styles work on comic type characters... |

Couple new pieces came in the mail just recently...
My three mains (Fenian, Alpha and Caemgen) by JR Schiller of StudioCultComics http://studiocultcomics.deviantart.com/
And here is Daybreaker Alpha by lukedenby http://lukedenby.deviantart.com/ - I really dig his rough style and cannot wait to see what he does with Caemgen and Fenian... In fact he wanted me to choose between two different Fenian sketches he did and both looked so cute I'm trying to get him to squeeze me into line and do both
Those are awesome, Caemgen!!! Your collection is really multiplying by leaps and bounds, and is quite impressive! Gratz on the new artz!

Just wait until the other 15 come in Or the 8 maybes... (Well, not exactly maybe's but arts from people who weren't sure they could pull off the characters and insisted on waiting to take payment til they did sketches...) Oh, and 3 sketch cards too....
But I have slowed down... or am going to slow down... or... well, yeah. 
Significant artz count for you this year amigo! Grats on some amazing additions to your collection!

And I didn't have to wait long at all... Here's lukedenby's http://lukedenby.deviantart.com/ take on Fenian! I think he managed to really capture the cuteness of her and I love the detail in the lace and how the tails of the magic bolero...
Nice, that turned out great!
Man, that's nice! I agree, the bolero looks really good.

I already commented on your DA site but I love love love this piece. Already contacted the artist about a commission (and I wasn't going to let myself commission again until 2010). Thanks for posting it and introducing me to him.

His finished products have a rough/edgy feel to them but I like it... Wouldn't want it exclusively but definitely a cool variation. I'm even having him do one of Alpha out of his armor now...

Thanks Vex!
Every now and then when I need a break from the game I surf other people favorites and try to find artists I haven't seen people get yet... I believe he has done some CoH before me but *shrug* with Kat and Gray around I don't think I'll find very many who haven't

And the final... Full size will be up on my dA page... when I get around to it
Wow, that Omi piece is REALLY well done. I'm likin' it.
Now I'm all tempted but I have one commission piece outstanding and a couple contest bits whenever they get generated and, like you, I'm trying to stay "clean and sober" until the new year at least. Maybe I'll get some Christmas money to get myself something nice
