perfectkismet art - We Can Be Heroes

I had a thread here, once, but I don't think it exists anymore since I haven't posted art since 2007 at best.

The reason I have very rarely done fanart for City of Heroes is mainly my characters. See, I adapted characters I have played/written/drawn since elementary school into toons in-game. So then when I go to draw fanart, I get lost in whether I should draw their "real" hair or game hair, their "real" faces or game faces, their "real" powers or game powers, whether "real" Lance would look right in game Lance's clothes and on and on... and then I just end up not.

So there's this. I wish I had the time and follow-through to do pictures like this for all 25 of my characters-turned-toons. It'd be a nice memorial for me of a game I am going to miss more than I can say.

* Their Ascension costume pieces are actually Ascension Radiant, but the effects were too busy and wonky in marker for the picture.

Lincoln Keiran - Martial Arts/Super Reflexes Scrapper - Triumph > Freedom (iTrials) > Triumph
Lancelot Emery - (this version) Human Peacebringer - Virtue > Guardian > Freedom (iTrials) > Triumph
Amanda Moray - Gravity/Radiation Controller - Triumph > Freedom (iTrials) > Triumph

the lincoln guy has the same hair as a friend of mine. It really is that spikey.

I think you've got a fair bit of talent. If it bothers you that the costumes don't match orhe powers then do what the characters are supposed to be. I have always been of the opinion that in the game world you create a character that is as close a match to what you see not a wholly new character. You do the best with your given medium. Like in this piece you've decided to leave out some details because they don't look right in marker. The same is true of COH. You leave out the braided leather belt and add a red wolf head the chest even though your character is the red coyote. Draw what you believe not what another medium limits you too.
