Made up a folder in the deviantArt #CityofHeroes group for this year's contest, and I believe the way I did it you should be able to actually submit directly to the folder this time (for some reason last year's folder wouldn't allow direct submissions). FArt Competition 2012 folder. Enjoy.
Oh! Thanks very much!

Whatever you want! 
. Both will do. I'll make sure that everything will be in one place for the voting round 
.
Hmm, I just checked... it appears we cannot enter entries to the FArt Battle folder just yet. *pouts*
I have already sent Vex a message about that... still waiting reply..so bear with me!
One can post his/her submission in a thumb or a link in a comment on DA for now though.
That will be fine aswell.

British Hero couldn't resist the chance to show off his superspeed against this willing biker
Wait... this wasn't made in your 3D modeling tool! That is awesome work Henri!
(then disregard my comment on your DA page *giggles*)
And that is one awesome bike indeed .
One Early Bird Vote going to Henri! *cheers*, with one more week untill the Early Bird deadline

Thanks Dee. I wondered if there would be suspicion that i was using DAZ4 as it's something i'm very much into at the moment. I can assure you this is painted ( i can paint also 
) It's the reason i featured myself and my own bike in the picture, as it's original to me, there's no possibility of it being a DAZ product.
Infact here she is:
Incidently Dee, i don't know if you've continued with DAZ at all, but it's taught me loads about lighting and surface reflection etc, all good stuff that's applicable to 2d painting too. I've not seen you post anything 3d so thought maybe you hadn't pursued it?
She is a beauty indeed!
When I glanced at it on DA (the bike really stood out 
) I thought it would be another DAZ render.. then I looked at it again and it really wasn't. The bike is really realisticly painted, Henri! You nearly fooled me! *grins*
And no... I'm not persueing 3D modeling. I'm only using DAZ for poses for me to draw.
I have no clue what so ever how to render stuff or create or...whatever people do with DAZ *giggles*

The folder should be available for submissions for reals now. I wish I could participate, but I don't think I can drum up something quick or good enough in the amount of time there's left on top of the other stuff I have going on. Time's running out, it'll be the end of the month before you know it. Remember, you can still enter as a free player if you're a member of the #CityOfHeroes deviantArt group.
I've wanted to get an image out of my head for some time, but I haven't put the in-game reference images together so I haven't chased a commission. Lunchtime today I figured I'd get the thumbnail done at least. Since these toons are showing off, I figured I could post it here if I put in a second hour after work... apologies to Kaemgen for my sad skillz. It's also his fault for puting insane three dimensional Celtic knotwork on his model sheet. Ugh! I know I got it wrong.

Hahaha! Very cool!! And quite the story the art tells!
As for the knotwork - it is a pain in the buttocks... But I actually think you did a rather good job at it!
Just a note.

You heard right, folks: winner gets a custom sketch. The opportunities I have to do these are getting rarer, so if you'd like a sketch, definitely consider entering this contest!
Good luck to all!

poor timber pixie only got to the color flat stage..

their are supposed ta be a small army of toy robots behind her.. *sigh*..at least I got something in.
Oh! But even in flat colours and without the army of toy robots timber pixie is looking pretty awesome Tartyrsause!
Wait... kitten poo? 
Through Deviant Art, Leaf-nin has submitted the following! *cheers happily*
This is Jayden Michaels, my OC Plum Whine's BFF. He's a (good) witch who's power stems from the Occult, the Netherworld, death, and entropy. But he's a good guy, really!
So, anyway, here's Jayden using some elemental control, showing off his creepy yet awesome black magic.
Jayden Michaels [link] is Derek Storm's CoH OC
The drawing is mine, however.

This is Demonseed, my Fire/Dark Corrupter. The original sketch was done shortly after he hit 40, when that was the Villain's level cap. He's an original character I have made a City adaptation for, and his stylization is inspired by Yoshitaka Amano's designs for Vamp D: Bloodlust.

dang it, got home from werk too late to submit 
. [only came across the competition two days ago XD]
everything looks great though!
Awesome work everyone! I will be putting up the voting thread after this.
@daveyj3, You can still enter the battle untill March 29th. But because you didn't make the deadline for January it will mean your piece for January will not count in this month's votes.
But please.. put it up if you have it!
