Wonderful work!
My favorites are in Posts #21 and 22!
Sorry I've been scarce of late, everyone, but even the Imp of Impervium can sometimes be tossed about by the dreaded RL monster!
(*huggles everyone*)

Heya, just wanted to post a little update on the Amerikatt pic!
It's taking a while to finish. Unfortunately, RL has been consuming my life like crazy lately, and I have barely any time to devote to art. I might have to put this pic on the back burner for a while so I can finish those contest pics that I need to do. =D Grr, real life intervenes at the worst times, honestly.
<3
That picture of me just keeps getting better and better! RAWR!
Thanks for choosing me to be your artistic model.
Only change I'd suggest is making the stars pink instead of red.
The nose would normally be blue-black and the inside of the ears would be roughly the same color as the fur, but I like your interpretation of those colors.
+10 Interwebz for ya!

In the midst of starting college, learning to drive, and looking for a job, I have started work on the prizes for my costume design contest. Haven't been able to do much, unfortunately. =( Hope to rectify that this weekend.
For now, here's a little peek at ChristopherRobin's prize picture:
*Perks up*
Say what now? Oh cool...
It has begun (can't not picture that being said by Shang Tsung for some reason)!
Hey guys, sorry for lack of pictures. =( I had no idea college would be consuming my time so much. Have a little update on CR's prize for the contest. After I finish Shieldara, I will work on Johnstone and Lord Goat's prizes. =D I apologize for the slowness of it, but I will try to work on it more. Have to get caught up on school work. -_-
And here's a little something that I've been doing during class.
That is my math notebook, and pictured on it are my characters Gene-Tech ad Dead Naught. I have three notebooks, one for each class, and each one will be decorated with a certain theme. I won't be adding any more of my toons to this one, but if you would like one of your characters to be immortalized on my math notebook, send me some pics and I would be happy to add him/her/it. =D
I'm glad to see you look up from your school books to show us a bit of what you get to work on from time to time, Lex. Your drawings look good...has any of your instructors seen your drawings yet?

Hey everybody! I've been working on a few more things since my last post and will upload them later, but! I wanted to propose a question here.
So, I've been thinking of replicating some CoH costumes to wear for Halloween or to a con or whatever, and was wondering if you all know of any good resources for that kind of thing or where to find tips on making costumes? I would like to do Gene, but her costume requires a lot of armor and 'technical' pieces, which I definitely don't have the expertise to do.
Any ideas, folks? =D
I saw a nice screen printing machine on an infomercial. If you can get similar results to what they show then that could simplify some of the patterns to replicate a particular costume. Google is definately your friend here. There's all sorts of tuorials and tips out there. You might try Instructables, they've got a lot of tips there. I imagine you can find all sorts of cosplay forums that could help you out.
Roxy On DA...Finally!

Cool notebook sketch too.

But also, a lot will likely have to do with your ability to sew (or learn to) and how creative you get. I suspect there's a decent cosplay niche even on DA, I see bits and pieces there without even looking on occasion. |

OKAY WELL NOW THAT'S OVER LET'S SEE SOME PICS, AYE?
First, obligatory update on Shieldara. =) I am still alive, kay? Haven't forgotten about my lovely contest winrars. <3

Phew, at this rate, Johnstone and Lord_Goat will get their prizes by next year. =( Sorry I'm so slow at this guys. This is my attempt at improving, kay? <333
Next is a pic I drew of Gene-Tech when I was bored on my lunch break a few weeks ago. May or may not color this. Still debating it.

Also, a really nice screenshot I managed to snag during a CC last night. Posting this just because I can. And because Gene is totes sexiful, aye?

OH! DISCUSSION QUESTION, FOR REAL.
In your opinion, should photo manipulation be considered an art? It does require a certain amount of skill, but is it a artform or cheating? I would like to know what you guys think of this. <3
Unfortunately, I don't know how to sow at all, so I'll definitely have to look up tips for that. -_- Luckily,we have a sowing machine, so that will help a bit.

Photo manipulation is definitely art imo, if you doubt this just go over to worth100.com and look at some of their contest galleries. Definitely some great art there.

It's one in the morning, and I have this.
Christopher Robin, sorry it took so long.
Also, no cape. =( I tried but it just didn't look good the way i drew it.

That's pretty awesome. I mean, it sucks for whoever was on the other end of that boot, but still...

You got all the basic shapes and colors on her outfit right, the pose is epic and I especially like the expression on her face.

P.S. Don't worry about the cape we can just say some villain stole it... it's probably the guy she just kicked into next week.

One thing I should try for in future arts though is including her shield more often... even the time I drew her full length (click the button in my sig to see it)
I omitted it and it's not very well represented in the refs I have of her either. Granted it's an magical shield that can be summoned or
relinquished at will but still it should be more prominent in her imagery than her cape. After all her name isn't Capedara.

Edit: With Lexi's permission I added a few touches of my own and tweaked a few things...

Hello, fellow art folks. I disappeared for a while, but I'm back now. Did I miss all the fun stuff?
Issue 19 dropped... yeah it's pretty much been a non-stop party.
Welcome back Lexi.
(it actually got a little quiet for a bit {everyone playing the new content probably} but things are picking up again and a whole bunch of
new artists and art collectors cropped up recently so plenty to see... also there is a monthly art jam happening now)
She didn't say. She posted in a few threads an RP-style post:
(*News Announcer's voice on TV*) "The world was shocked and dismayed today when world-renowned heroine, Amerikatt, was seen flying away at high speed, moments before a thunderous explosion.
"Although her death has not yet been confirmed, it is a grim and very real possibility, and we may soon have to adjust to a world without an Amerikatt!
"Stay tuned to WPAR-TV for the latest developments in this story as it unfolds!"
She seems to have made a couple of posts since then, in the RP forum, but nowhere else. No idea what's going on.
