Haha Nice one Alex!

I would know your work anywhere without a signature. You always had a unique style all your own. Love that it's clearly a quick sketch up but ya got a lot of playfullness and emotion in it.

Looking forward to seeing your newest sketch and it is so good to see ya at it once more.

TA


**Edit**

Thought I would throw in a couple screenies of TA's newest in-game look in case ya wanted to try that out

Oh, I'd like to try!



This is Action Trooper. He as an ability to alter reality, but it's mostly put to use in bringing his military action figures, and other various toys and play-gadgets, to life. He can also render himdelf into a solid, statue-like state at will, sometimes using this ability for protection and at other times to be slightly mischevious around his friends. All of the effects caused by his arsenal, such as gunfire, are purely psychic in nature.

He has a full complement of toy soldiers. (The medic and two spec-ops he has at his current level, 25, aren't in the screen because it's old, although I'd kind of like to see one of each kid of pet with him (soldier, medic, spec-ops, commando) in various states of size and "animation". If you get to this one, let me know if you want me to screen another version with more of a reference.)

He's currently searching for his mother since he was separated from her during the Galaxy City meteorfall. His father was a soldier in the military that was apparently killed early in the first war with the Rikti.

Hi to all my friends from the art forum! Lots of cool characters so far!
That is seriously awesome. Thanks!

Damn, I found another one that I'd like to add to the list. You can probably find an interesting use for this one...

Gumption, a detective who works a private investigations office in Steel Canyon. He has a cowboy's attitude and an athlete's determination.



He's also a mutant gifted with above-average strength and healing, but with one little quirk: when his skin comes into contact with water it becomes extremely adhesive and gum-like, sticking to most anything it comes into contact with. It causes him much annoyance, but he does find "practical" ways of using his gum hide to his advantage.

Ok..I tried to resist, but I can't...

I have a character, Arithon Kerson (known as Mystik Paladin) who doesn't get that much love ...He's a former rock star who inherited his grandfather's vast fortune and estate, and also a magic pendant that is the source of his powers (usually shows up as his brooch/cape clasp) An bit of an idealist, he is a man trying to make a difference in a chaotic world.





Also, if you like to read such things- his origin story.. http://mellissandria.deviantart.com/...49836#/d2fk7k6

(Do you need action shots or does this work?)

I also have quite a few female toons, but Ari is unusual in that he's my only male toon in this game!

I am glad you and CID like it, it was fun to do.

It is sorely tempting to post Sorina Tavarisch here and have you do another quick doodle of her and Positron (since your first one came out spectacularly)!

Wow, great job on those so far Alex! Been a fan of your work for a while now!*eyes Khep and the comission she asked of the Von Drakans... currently his avatar*

These are Emma Connor and Sandra Frost. One is a sultry ice defender who would totally make you forget about frosbite, the other is a Mind/Emp controller whose powers are portrayed as her dazzling her opponents with such simple thing like biting her lower lip.

Jelousy developed in... well... something else! When you can't beat them you join em, right? right?

Well consider them posted!

Ooh ooh! It's another one of those "ignore everyone else's screenshots and just post your own" threads! Lemme in!

I present to you Yarrshiro X, the flying robot ninja pirate... with a laser sword... from space. He comes equipped with a Majesty Capacitor that makes him so awesome that he can't be seen by the naked eye.

No one draws women as lusciously as Alex. I look forward to seeing this thread fill up with new drawings.
Thanks, now I have to draw lots of sexy men!

Oh wow, your art is nice! So I'll hopefully submit...




Eileen Mirza is Hidden Depths! She is a student majoring in mad science at Paragon University.

She has the amorality that comes with that route in life, which is demonstrated by the fact she signed up as a hero for the sole purpose of using the varied criminal element of Paragon as live (and dead and robotic) testing units for her water and ice devices.

Her costume was the result of her laying in bed for an hour thinking until she spotted her goldfish and thought 'HEY!'

In reality, her costume was my best attempt at making a goldfish costume before the fishfins costume piece was made available this halloween. But I'm still pretty pleased with it.

So post a nice screenshot or two and a short bio of your character and if I like it(or there's not enough volunteers) I'll do a quick sketch.

No promises that I will draw YOUR character, but it's free and it's a chance for Freemium players get some art for their toons. VIP's are invited to post their toons as well.

And if any artists feels like joining in, please do! More art for everyone!

I will occasionally draw something silly and goofy, so if you do not want to see your character in a tutu, do not post them in this thread.(Until they implement the tutu costume piece, in which case, I will draw everyone in a tutu because they are cooler than bowties.)
Yay! Hi Alex! Welcome back!

I need to put together a new screenshot of Frosty. We finally have the right costume pieces in game. You know, until they come up with some better ones...

Re: Mystik Paladin-

Just to let y'all know, Alex is the first artist to get Arithon/Paladin right! And yes, I squeed like a fangirl when I saw it...

Eh, why not?

Archmage Beornan - Time/Fire Defender

He's an Oranbegan from the time of the Mu-Oranbegan war who went into a self imposed exile rather than agree to the pact offered by the Prince of Demons.

He's basically been hopping around the time stream looking for solutions the plight of his people (which brings him into conflict with the Demons who want to uphold the contract, and their pawns within the Circle quite a bit). He works with the Menders of Ouroboros quite a bit, since they have a good deal of experience manipulating the time stream. (I of course got him the Ouroboros and Cimerora day job badges, to unlock the Time Lord badge )
