I would love to have some art done of Captain Electric or one of my other characters. I got to be in one of Golden Girl's comics (link in my sig), which was awesome and an honor, but that has been Cap's only art appearance in the years since I brought him to Paragon City.

Any art of Omi, in Mecha or Demon, or even Human form, would be appreciated. Seriously, that would be awesome.

Did you ever attend any of the conventions that Ncsoft attended where the Draw The World people were there as well? That was a good way of getting your stuff done by one of the comic book guys.

All the conventions have been many thousand kilometers away from me, so no art for me :P

So what do I have to do for this contest?

Twice i've been trying, but only getting there was already a huge effort (work, costs etc), by the risk of not getting anything drawn at all (i believe it was just a 'enter the queue' thing and i believe artists were randomly put on drawning - i wanted a specific style of drawing ).

Just as an *idea*, and I know that this has worked in the past with a friend of mine.

They wanted a drawing of Optimus Prime for their son's birthday, done by Andrew Wildman.

So they got in touch with him directly.

Lo and behold, they got one just in time for his birthday. I don't know how much it cost, but it was not *extortionate* pricing. Could be worth a shot, especially if you know the name of the artist who does draw in the style that you want.

If you head over to Draw The World Together, they will have more information there... just as an idea.

I'd love a piece of artwork to remember the great times I've had here with

I'm not sure what his policy is on commissions (or anything else of late) but you might want to see if you can contact David Nakayama (aka Noble Savage). His DA page is at http://pixel-saurus.deviantart.com/

As you can tell by my avatar, I'm a big fan of David's work. Of course, I was a fan before I got the avatar, but I use that image almost everywhere.


If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Black Pebble is my new hero.

I had always put off getting characters done. I'd really love to have something done for my main.


Pinnacle & Virtue:
A bunch of Heroes - Alpha Team, Legion of Order.
A bunch of Villains -Black Citadel , Pinnache.

This sounds awesome, I'd certainly be interested.

More info about where/when/how and what to do when you win READ HERE---> my journal but briefly
the event will be a series of mini contests taking place over the weekend.
Some will be here, some on Deviant Art (so have a free account over there if you want in
on those) and some in-game. Some will be trivia or puzzles (first to answer correct wins) others will
be costume contests etc. Just keep your eyes peeled for new threads/journal posts by me with coXso in the name
and make sure to take good screenshots of your characters.
Good luck!

Well it's a great time for paid commissions too since several artists in my list (like Darth Delicious
and HugoHugo for example) are also running great sales to coincide with the event.

David is in the middle of moving to a new house and has kid #2 on the way so he is pretty busy atm.
Don't know that he is taking commissions right now but it never hurts to ask.
