Also: Thanks for all the compliments on my collection!!
Maybe one day, I'll be able to buy myself a commission. Of course, my problem would then be, "Who do I choose?". *sigh* I'll burn that bridge as I cross it...

True. The most interesting heroes are defined a great deal by their foes.

Hey!!
A REAL hero is more than willing to give up their "hero-ness" if it means peace and safety! Wanting evil to be loosed just so you can defeat it... it's... it's... it's villianous!!!

Until that day, though, I must fight the good fight and continue to bring bad luck to Naughty Spawns by crossing their paths!

Someone commissioned this piece for me from xJoeDx.
This is my main Villain, Cherry Bloom, foe of my main Hero, Savannah Nightwolf.
I think this was a present, for my birthday back in July. I forgot about it until last night, because I don't really "social network", and forget about half the stuff on dA...
And I suspect a certain perverted Irish demon is responsible for this... >.>

Couple new things added to my dA account. Since they're non-CoH, I figured I'll just leave links.
Link 1 to a character from a universe founded upon a popular set of bricks that stack. >.>
Link 2 to a ref sheet for the character from a universe founded upon a popular set of bricks that stack. <.<
If you're feeling artistic, and looking for something different to draw, maybe this will work.
Say... I think I found something to suggest for Wassy Wednesday. YAY!!

So, it's been almost a month that this has been done, and I'm just now remembering to post it here, buuuut...
I left a suggestion of Cooler1 as a Wassy Weekly, and on December 19, she delivered.
The Child was VERY impressed, and thought it was extrawesome that it was done in charcoal.

This was a total surpsie for me. Lady LoveDie just updated her art thread with this, saying that she liked the character, and wanted to draw it.
She made the character in a way that I wish I could recreate in-game, but can't, because we don't have the costume parts.
This piece is just so freakin' AWESWEETASTIC! I loves it, I does!

No new images to add. Well, at least not fan art ones. But an update about me...
In 2006, our car died, and we needed a new one. We ended up with a 2000 Chevy Malibu.
That car lasted us 5 years, and we definatly got our money out of it.
But it's old. The front end makes odd noises. It needs new tires. The AC is starting to go. And, best of all, there are no working turn signals, due to a problem during manufactuing, and Chevy refuses to do anything about it for the model we have.
While I was at work today, The Wife got an e-mail from her mother, who wanted to come down and have lunch (she lives about an hour-ish away). Apparently, over lunch, they got to talking about a car dealership commercial they had both, seperatly, heard on the radio. It really interested them, so after lunch, they decided to drive over to said Dealership, and ask for more details.
I guess that, with the economy being the way it is right now, people who work on commission are desperate to make a sale. Not only did they agree to the monthly payment amount that The Wife wanted, but they also gave her Permanent 0% Interest, and let her test drive the car, with no salesperson, for 2 and a half hours.
The Wife picked me up from work in the car they were letting her test drive, and we stopped by the house to talk about the possibility of buying the car. After weighing the Pros and Cons, we decided to go ahead and buy it. It essentially came down to the fact that the Malibu is 11 years old, and it's better to be Proactive and buy a new car now, rather than be Reactive, and buy a new one when we had no choice (which is how we ended up with the Malibu in the first place).
So, we went back to the Dealership, told them we wanted the car, and got to work on the paperwork. Of course, the Finance Dude tried to get more money out of us. Which he did. But all he got was an additional $11 a month. We got 3 years of miscellaneous maintenance, including tire rotation, and a locked-in price for oil changes. Not bad for $11.
And so, we left, the proud owners* of a brand new 2011 Metallic Blue Nissan Sentra:
*Well, OK, The Wife is the actual owner, since she did it all, and put it in her name. But still.

Gratz on the new ride! Not so gratz on the new payments. Now you should draw stuff and have it put on the hood and doors like those cool Fast and Furious kids!
Okay I joke but I have a scion xB that I've been tempted to do just that. Then I realize I'm an old married white guy and that would just scream of "trying too hard".

So I know that this is an older thread, but I happened upon it and enjoyed looking at Khel's various fan arts, and now I have to say that as a married, triracial chick, I'd *squee* if I saw a Scion xB arted up with CoX awesomes. I've wanted one of those vehicles for so long (the older, more square versions). Black with hot-pink interior, if you were wondering.|

(Also, super sweet Nissan there, Khel!)
Also, Kheldarn, I was wondering about how you got these fun (apparently free) arts? Just by asking via dA, or on the forums here? I'm considering making a separate dA just for CoX things -- (hopefully, mostly free) art commissions but possibly some of my own.
If this is something talked about a lot on the forums, please don't get annoyed. I rarely frequent the forums unless something super serious is happening with the game, or (like today) I'm looking for specific images (got lost for awhile in the Custom Power Icon thread[s]).
Ooooh an art gift virgin... I love preying upon... I mean finding these... what could possibly motivate someone to draw something for a complete stranger? Umm posting up a screenshot? Suggesting what actor/actress might play them... these are things I can't speak of... and I will deny! Nothing, nothing you can do... *wink,wink* will make me say different... especially not in a private message. This is not the place to post art of someone else's character, that would be tacky! Yeesh!!!

Can't speak for Kheldarn but mostly just participation, see and be seen, is all it takes. You don't have to read the whole forums per say (I only go out there when I want to know something about the game as well) but certainly say hi and introduce yourself here in the art section. Looking through artists threads and leaving comments and feedback etc all increase your chances too. There are contests and free giveaways happening all the time (couple going right now) where you can win free art, just keep your eyes peeled.
Finally have a link in your sig to good clear screenshots of your character/s and an entertaining background story/who they would look like in real life doesn't hurt either. Ya never know what will pique an artists interest. Not that I know anything about giving away art either...
LJ and I iz liek cluelesses 'bout dat stuffz.
I love the new car, Kheldarn!! Gratzzz to you and your wifey!!

Well, I set up some screenshots for the artists to use as reference, and then I watch for an artist to say they're looking to draw someone. I jump on the chance, letting them know they can click the banner in my sig for refs, and hope I'm not too late to get some free arts. If I am, I just wait for the next person to offer some free arts.|

The only time this isn't the case is when ChristopherRobin is offering free arts. For everyone else, it's free, but for me, well... I have to do things I'm not allowed to talk about on the forums...
(Not really. I just like to pick on CR. )
