All Access Sketch a Week

Uthra Naddijath


After reading her bio, I knew I had to draw her sipping a cup of tea...it's what a proper lady would do!

This is officially the best thing and you should feel good for making it.

The Quick Red Fox!

That's great, Alex. Can't wait to see more!

Oh wow, I'm really liking the take on the Fox: I think it's the pose you got him in.

Anticipating the next one, crossing fingers, too!

...medic!



Thanks, Alex! That's beyond gorgeous.

okay, roll'n the dice again

Welcome back, Alex! Guess I might as well throw my hat into the ring with my namesake ...



For in-game reference points: his torso, upper arms, and legs are Praetorian Clockwork. His shoulders, gloves, and boots are Imperial Defense. The belt is Ascension, and the jaw is Cyborg.

Posi luvs Sorina, so I've had this floating in my head since Valentines, but I just couldn't find the time until now to get it done. Enjoy!

I'm glad everyone likes their sketches, I wish I could do more, but I'm gonna try to stick to at least one a week!

Whoops, sorry for the double post.

Not sure if you're accepting more submissions to go in the big box of potentially cool art, but wanted to throw my hat into the ring with the Andromeda Knight.


Pictured: The Andromeda Knight: too shiny for his shirt

The Andromeda Knight, an invincible giant robot powered by a living power core that forms a life support system for the crippled Kheldian, Corona Shield. With the Kheldian's strength, the upbeat - and sometimes hammy - robot fights for things like mom and apple pie with fists of steel!

Except that's a lie.

The reality is that the Andromeda Knight is actually piloted by the young Yung-li Slate, his builder and "mechanic." She is the true heart of the Knight beneath the armor.

So, I already have art done by you for free of two of my characters... But one I have since deleted and the other I haven't played in years now. So I'm throwing in a few characters that I actually play and would love to have art of.

First off, Becca Blue (my Inv/SS Tanker that has become my main since Incarnates) and Becca Boom (her Praetorian equal, a Inv/StJ Tanker):

In case it isn't obvious from their costumes, they're of Scottish heritage (Chest Detail: Celtic knots for Blue and the Rampant Lion for Boom). They're both magic origin, powers granted by the Fae after their parents were killed. Similar events in Primal and Praetoria, Blue's archeologist parents were killed by Banished Pantheon in their search for a way to resurrect one of their gods; while Boom's parents were killed when First Ward became what it is today. That's enough depressing stuff for now, so yeah, they're both Heroes now.

And here's an alternate look for Boom:

Blue has a similar look, except Blue's shirt is a full t-shirt and she wears tight blue jeans instead of the resistance pants.

Some others I wouldn't mind getting art of:

No Action (Praetorian KM/Nin Stalker, now Hero): And Evan Johnstone:

No Action is the Praetorian version of my Peacebringer Evan Johnstone who is Becca's cousin. On Primal, Evan tried to be a hero when he met Becca, failed, almost died, and wound up bonded to a Kheldian to save both their lives. In Praetoria, Evan never met Becca. Instead, he spent his years studying under a Taoist master until the Hamidon/Cole conflict spilled over into his backyard and he realized that some sort of Action was required.

And then there's Coil Jumper (Elec/Regen Scrapper): (not shown well in the shot, he's got the Back of Head Tattoo face detail)

He was a Victorian-era stuntman who performed death defying feats to entertain the masses. The devices on his shoulders/arms were designed by him to deliver his own blend of pain-relieving drugs into his bloodstream so that he could push his body further and further to perform better stunts. One of his more popular stunts was to jump through an active Jacob's Ladder (the science may not make sense here, disregard that, it's fantasy). Things went wrong one time and he ended up getting zapped. The electricity triggered a reaction in the chemicals that flowed through his veins and ripped a tear in space-time that sent him to modern day Praetoria (this science is even crazier, but there's precedence in the CoXverse given Superadine's role in trans-dimensional travel). He retro-fitted his devices to pump Fixadine and did whatever he could to get more of it. Now that he's in Primal again, he's a Vigilante with a great record of drug-busts (which he of course uses to synthesize his own version of Fixadine now).

Aaaaaaaaand one more option, Miss Molotok (SS/SR Brute):

I'll keep her story shorter. She was an Olympic gymnast for 1930's Russia (Praetorian); she was barred from competing when it was discovered she was a mutant. A few years later she signed up for a program that would "bring glory to Mother Russia". She ended up experimented on and eventually cryogenically frozen; and then forgotten about when Hamidon started wrecking up the place. She was thawed out when a cell of DE destroyed the lab she was stored at. She woke up, killed the DE, blacked out, and ended up in Nova and signed up in Powers Division.

Ok. That's enough from me. Great to see you back, Alex. Wish I had seen this thread sooner. Great characters and great art so far.

Now, I know I already had a sketch done of one of my characters, so I don't expect to get another one, but I still wanted to toss Crash into the ring. Just because I really like her character



Major Lynda "Crash" McGuire may look like just a pretty young face, but don't let her looks deceive you. She is a monstrously powerful, incredibly advanced cyborg housing her original human brain, an artificial body to replace the one she lost in a great war from a future that will never be, she says. Made of thus far unknown materials and powered by a perpetual zero-point energy generator, Crash's body is practically indestructible, and what damage she does suffer is automatically repaired by an internal nano-forge. An overcharged system of artificial muscles, along with a network of kinetic dampers and emitters give Crash almost incalculable physical strength and resilience, as well as super-human speed. This "pretty face," if she is so inclined, can be one of the most dangerous people you are ever likely to meet.

Despite all this hardware, however, the person behind the cybernetics is actually quite pleasant, if somewhat enigmatic. Outwardly, Crash is cheerful, friendly, kind and very open with people, a gentle creature who wouldn't hurt a fly. Inwardly, however, she can be distant, aloof, private and even unwelcoming. Though Crash can make friends of complete strangers almost on the spot, there are only a few people she has ever trusted enough to let close. Some say that her lack of biological senses has doomed her to a perpetual nightmare of artificial experiences where nothing ever feels "real," but Crash herself just laughs off the subject without giving a straight answer.

But though Crash does her utmost to be nice, that only extends to the people she believes deserve it. Criminals, monsters, villains and all others who would endanger the lives and minds of innocent people will see a side of her that that is quite a bit less pleasant. Major McGuire is still a highly trained, vastly experience and very ruthless soldier who gives no quarter and expects none in return, nor is she shy of applying the full force of her cybernetics. Her use of often unnecessary force has gotten Crash in trouble with authorities on multiple occasions, but both because she actually does a very good job and because there's no real way to actually stop her, she retains her hero license and numerous commendations. The many people who owe their lives to her always seem to rally to her support.

At the end of the day, Crash seems to be out to have fun and help people. If she has a larger agenda than this, she isn't saying. Then again, isn't doing the right thing reason enough?

Erzebet Bathory

I spent one of my best years in Brum, so of course you get a sketch!

I'm so glad you're back, Alex. I've really missed your work. Do you happen to still have that ultra sexy sketch you did of American Dreamgirl way back when? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

Yes, I missed a week, sigh, luckily someone reminded me, so here's that person's character, Lady Arcane:
