If anyone who actually travels to any other parts of the CoH boards, which I generally do not, could please spread the word about the vote, that would be awesome. Anyone with an account is a fan of the game, and is free to vote for their Fan Art Champion.
I enjoyed them all, but I think Lousy_Day really captured something there.

I did I went over to Victory and told them. Maybe the FArt Mistress could venture out into the big bad world and tell the people.

heh fat chance scoots! there is a better chance of the presidant making a public address over it
wassy doesnt venture out of this place. thankfully as well, if she found herself in the villain / hero culture forum (fancy name for entertainment in general forum for those who haven't been in there) I dare say she would kill somebody.*knocks over anyone getting back on there feet*

I generally don't stray much from here either (I do peek at the Hero & Villian Culture and General Discussion boards when REALLY bored) but I decided to stray a bit and advertise for ya |

I figured the most appropriate place to put it was Player Events though so I stopped in there just long enough to post this http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showt...81#post2563881 and skedaddled my way right back here where it's safe, warm and the cookies are free.
I travel everywhere a bit. Scooter and Lousy are from Victory, and Scooter already posted there, so I can be a little lazy. I'll hit up Virtue and Champion though.
Oof. This is a hard choice to pick just one, there's sooo many good pieces here.
I love Frost's idea and execution, I love CR's monkey torch, I love Clutch's skating Freaks, I love.... *pulls hair out*
*calms down* Whew.
Lousy_Day's is gorgeous, it's beautiful and tells a story with emotion. And the poses of the skater are genuine and realistic and very believable. I'm also a huuuge sucker for figure skating.
PyroNympho's piece is something I'd expect to see as an Olympic logo, it's clean and concise, and pops with what its trying to convey. I love how simple this one is, and every time I look at these, this is one of the very few that I keep coming back to.
If I could vote for two, I'd pick both of these pieces in a heartbeat. Sadly, I can only pick one, and my vote goes to Lousy_Day.
Huron: "...with Coffee primary / Attitude secondary"
Charnage: "Please. Think of the poor defenseless desks."
"The Babylon Project was our last, best hope for peace. It failed... In the year of the Praetorian War, it became something greater... our last, best hope for victory."
Can someone say Landslide?
also I suppose I could hit up Justice.
Gotta go with Lousy_Day. It's beautiful.

Landslide.
See, I said it. Easy.
Lousy_Day gets my vote and it wasn't even close. Great job!
That avatar is terrifying!!!
I'm also voting for Lousy_Day. Such a phenomenal piece!

Don't worry, though, nothing but <3 for the neg'ers.
I went and supported Caemgen's and Scooters posts (and may or may not have stuck my tongue out at Lousy Day in passing 
) and also posted up on Liberty Server. 
Kinda regretting posting in the justice forums now. 
all the votes went to LD.
Do I get some sorta prize for increasing LD margin of victory?
no? oh well I have the February issue of Maxim getting ready for the next month.
At least I get to compete in two months and I did get one vote.
Oh you want your tongue to look like Cai's avatar, CR?
Scooter, you get to brag that we both represent Victory (although I have been pvping a lot on Freedom lately. Bad devs for giving us free server transfers instead of making pvp zones global. They killed pvp on other servers with that move, and I think it was intentional. At least our penguins are popular in Sirens on Freedom now...)

I find that blocking images from that address solved the problem for me. The only trouble is that each time I'm on a new machine I need to add the block.

It's not always the image for me, sometimes it's repetitive movement or flashing/strobe effects.
AdBlock Plus is your friend.
Edit: And I can't believe people still -rep. Ignore/block it/report it, and move on.
And now we return to our regularly scheduled voting, already in progress...
