Attache's Anti-401k Art Collection

I have a few pieces I need to get up here...

Liberta Model Sheet by Gavin Michelli!



Another model sheet, this time of Liberta my BS scrapper and second Level 50 character. I was pretty excited to have Gavin on this as I feel he has a really cool yet deceptively simple style that gives a potential artist a great guideline for a character while still giving them the freedom to play around and bring their own interpretation to the table. I haven't used this one at all yet but when I do, I think it will be a great asset!



Another Janet Planet! by Dominike Stanon!



What's one good thing about goofing around on deviantART because you can't sleep? You get to see that one of your favorite artists has posted a journal offering a quickie sketch for $5.00! Dom is the Man!



Neowolf and Satin Doll by Gerard Ramos Fernandez!



One of the cool things about the art collecting thing is that you meet your fellow CoH art collectors and you get to do crossovers that might not ever happen in-game due to different social circles, time constraints, and play styles. Neowolf's player is a great guy who always has something nice to say about my commissions and it was his idea to put these two together for a little Beauty and the Beast motif. Of course, if anyone else calls Doll a Beast, I'm ripping out their lungs!

As always, clicking the images above with take you to my dA gallery and the artists are always in the description. Neowolf's gallery is definitely worth checking out too!

Oh wow. I love each one of those new pieces. Congrats on those!

I also love the new additions, Attache! Gratzzz!!!

They're all fabulous but Janet just steals the show...

Yep, all good stuff here. Keep it coming!

(Any Solarshock and Moonshadow coming, Att? I think that duo is awesome :P)

Gotta agree with Caemgen about Janet (I'm biased towards the personality), but they're all great pics.

Satin Doll & Friends by Paulo Barrios



The awesome thing about this one was that it was a single character commission but Paulo was a little intrigued by the SG in Satin Doll's description and wanted to see the other characters and then included them! They are all mine and they are, from top and going clockwise: Trojan, Ladybird, Doctor Epoch, Satin Doll (centered), Jen X, and Shadowshot.

Of course, the SG was just designed as a catch-all for some of my independent alts so I don't get bugged about joining SGs all the time and they were never really designed to be viewed as a team - if I had had that in mind, I probably wouldn't have used the same mask on Trojan and Ladybird and might have done different eyewear for Shadowshot and Doctor Epoch. All in all, still a pretty cool picture and damn nice of Paulo to volunteer the extra work just because he thought it would be cool. We had a little bit of a communication problem but fortunately I live in So Cal and there was always a Spanish speaker a few feet away whenever I got an email.

As always, clicking the picture takes you to my dA gallery and more information on the artist will be in the description.

Attache that is a truly awesome piece!

Baby got back! That's an awesome piece and a truly amazing deal. Congrats!

Shadowshot - now with colors by Roc Upchurch



Finally got some color on Noel Rodriguez's pencils for good ol' Shadowshot. I was unsatisfied with the first pass on a few elements but Roc kept tweaking to make sure I was happy. That guy is aces and he works well within Noel's insane lines.

As always, clicking the picture takes you to my dA gallery and more information on the artists that worked on this piece will be in the description.

Okay this makes me want to go make another archery toon RIGHT NOW!

Duo Deathtrap - by the mighty Carlos Valenzuela!



I'd always rather liked the character PinUp Girl, owned and operated by the The Masked Shrike so when it came time to put my Golden Age version of Satin Doll in peril, who better to team up with then PinUp Girl? I picked the artist and Shrike provided all the cool fictional elements for this cover homage to that post-War era when a lot of superheroes were being co-opted for the more popular and lurid True Crime fare. Shrike and me have never hung out in game but again you have to love dA for the opportunity to do duo with people just because you like their characters. There are a lot of great people doing this art collecting thing.

PinUp Girl's Virtueverse Page was the inspiration behind a lot of the cover content and is worth a look.

And if this piece needed anything else to make it extra-awesome, fetish model Mosh agreed to allow her likeness to be used for the GA Satin Doll. I wish I could link to her page!

Carlos is building quite a cottage industry over on deviantART with an amazing retro style and his love of pin-up and classic movie monsters. I discovered him through a Daily Deviation and thought he was so amazing that I tossed a 3-month membership his way and that gesture snowballed into my being the go-between for him and one of my favorite models and dA buddies, resulting in a "commission" of her he did for free and sent to me. She's since become one of his favorite subjects and she's been in like 3-4 pieces. The guy is just a class act and it was a pleasure to finally get to pay him for all his hard work. I can't recommend him enough.

As always, clicking the image takes you to my dA gallery. Links to the artist, the Masked Shrike's dA page, and Mosh's dA page can be found in the description.

As always much eye candy goodness to be had in this thread. Love the new adds, still like the older ones and hope to see more down the road!

Agent Goat - CoX Global @Goat's

Thanks, LG! More are in the works!

Ohhhhh...love the new pinup addition to your collection, Attache!! Gratzzz on the catch!

Believe I saw the collage and the pinup cover before on DA... But they are still awesome.

Sky Vulcan with lines by Randy Kintz and colors by Ross-A-Campbell!





The name Sky Vulcan was coined by one of my old SG's founders and placed in the group's fictional history to serve as one of the "supermen" of the WWII era. When I found the name free, I always knew I wanted to do something with it but as the original had been killed in action back in the day, I didn't want to sully the story of his sacrifice by doing yet another superhero resurrection.

As the original was a pilot in WWII whose plane was struck by a mysterious bolt of lightning, my way seemed clear. I just placed said plane in a museum devoted to these superheroes of the Golden Age and had yet another mysterious bolt of lightning strike a second time...this time with a female curator inside. Boom! Sky Vulcan II.

EDIT: I forgot to mention the best part - this one was gift art from an in-game buddy bought and paid for by him! Thanks, man!

As always, clicking the image takes you to my dA gallery. Links to the artists can be found in the description.

Sky Vulcan looks real nice

ATTACHE!!! The new additions are fantastic!!!
