    If you mean like this? Go to your deviation page and click the download image button on the right side, then just copy and paste that address here.
    I think the way you are doing it is fine though as it lets people go to your DA page and add comments if they want.

    If you meant how do you make the link appear as text like I did above
    you can just "quote" me and you will see the syntax I'm using to do it.

    P.S. I too like the colors you did on Frost Argent. Nice!

    Lone's Artwork

    Cool another traditional artist, GO PENCILS!
    Oh and welcome to the best part of the forums Lone Hero.

    (curses vexa beat me to the punch this time )


  3. Fraps is another good choice.
    It doesn't have most of the options in it that Gadwin does and the free version has limits and watermarks the video (not sure about the screenshots). It only has options to add a FramesPerSec overlay and to capture every 10 seconds but it does support all the common formats including Targa which Gadwin does not (fraps does not support .tif or .gif though if I remember correctly). Full version of Fraps is $37 and updates after that I believe are free.

    The above said if you want to capture video (and don't care for the vid capture functions baked in to Coh) then there are few options better than Fraps.

    Both have free versions so I'd say try em and see which you prefer.
  4. Wow I really like that style Eddy chose for your trio... muted to the point it almost seems like faded page from a magazine left out in the sun. Nice effect.

    I always thought this was the most solo-able MMO too... only tried a handful so far (including that other hero game) but maybe DCUO will be different.

    Sidenote: I'm with Draggynn, with the difficulty sliders I haven't had trouble soloing much (barring a TF or some EB/AV's where you need a team minimum) content... if I do there are ways to tip the scales. Shivans, Nukes, Temp pets like the WarWolf or the Witch Amy from Croatoa (who has offense and also heals you) or just swallowing a few purples and a yellow. Oh and you can craft temp boosts in any base that has the right equipment too... or go to a crowded area and have someone hit you with Magic Fortune (it lasts 20 minutes) or Secondary Mutation and then have at it again or... etc. etc.

    If you don't want a big team just let me know where and when and I got your back buddy. I'll bring a healer/buffer/controller in for some duo butt kicking action.

    Art in 3 days?

    Don't forget the FArt contest deadline too which may have several artists here tied up for the next week yet.

    Alas I fall into this category as all my free time is going into my FArt entry or I would be happy to help... of course I'm not necessarily the person to ask about full color digital art anyway.

    Hope you find someone who can work within that timeframe.
  6. You mean Gadwin is not working for you? Or all ingame screenshots give you a black screen?
    They worked fine when I tried them on your box here (that is how I put that shot in your folder describing the trigger key).
    Hmmm well I know you have all the latest drivers and patches/updates already so it's not that.
    PM me and I'll look into it for ya man.
  7. **Wanders into thread, takes off artistic-type-person hat and puts on custom computer builder hat**

    Don't know about the other thread that covered this because I mostly only come to the art section
    but how about a solution that is not a pain in the backside, doesn't require timing gymnastics,
    does everything you guys are wanting without having to alt+tab out of the game,
    works with all forms of windows and is completely free?

    Gadwin Printscreen is free (non pro version which is all you need), newb friendly, can be set to grab screen caps of anything
    on the screen including the mouse pointer, works in the CC, does NOT require any other imaging or photo app,
    will do all the converting for you and dump jpeg's into whatever folder you tell it too.

    It can also turn your screencaps into .gif .tif .bmp or .png formats and can auto resize your images for you.
    Want to capture only part of the screen? It does that too, just set a trigger key (I use Alt+Prinscreen)
    and a box appears on your cursor stretch it to cover what you want to be in the pic and hit enter.
    There's more but you can play with the settings on your own. Enjoy!

    P.S. For those of you who get a black screen when you screen cap... most of the time it's a driver issue and updating
    to the latest drivers for your video card here for ATI users or here for Nvidia users will usually solve this issue.
    Finally, if you recently switched from a Nvidia card to an ATI card (or vice versa) you should run a good driver
    cleaning utility to remove the old stuff first before you put the new stuff in to avoid any issues. Cheers,

    ...err I mean welcome back Bobby.
  10. You going somewhere Kheldarn?
  11. Hmmmm wonder what happens if I... Gaaaah! lol
  12. Haha I love that Trash Talk is actually talking trash. Great visual gag.
    My favorites have got to be Switchout (reminds me of Xllusya a bit ) and Khartas (finger pistols FTW!) though.

    Also welcome to the b... yeah what Caemgen said.


    Caemgen =1, CR =2, VexXxa =0,
  13. Was probably before my time here on the boards (I think I read a comic you did a while back though)
    but welcome back 8 baller. Good to see people returning.
  14. Great expression on Amerikatt. I'm sure she'll be thrilled and you will be awarded many interwebs.
  15. Hunh what now?

    Lol nope it just happens to be (almost 10 months now) since I followed a random link and "discovered" the art section of the forums... I've actually been playing the game for over 5 years now (63 month badge a little while back).
  16. Yes it is indeed a proper noun... but then so is every single hero's name. Red or otherwise.
  17. Thanks everyone who has been posting in here I really appreciate it.

    I picked 1-2 others that I will try and work into a group scene depending on how much I can get done in the time I have left... who you ask? Well that remains to be seen.

    I may drops some hints or rough sketches in the days leading up to the deadline over in my New Artz thread... just have to wait and see.

    P.S. I will be posting shortly one of the rough panel layouts that will showcase a new addition (not anyone in this thread) I am very excited about.

    Thanks for the fun, peeps! Stay tuned for next Friday's mood for the night.

    Know who you don't see in these pictures...?

    Me.

    ...whoz teh real ninja now suckahz!


    Sounds like you guys had a fun run. Pyro you should definitely set one up, I'm sure there are plenty who miss out
    on these due to work (or other issues) that would be interested in a weekday run.
    Can't have too many themed TF's I say.

    P.S. Your but is framed VexXxa? Lemme guess, it's hanging in the B'Ootay gallery?
  19. Well as far as affording commissions like "these" I'm guessing you mean other artists works as I have been giving mine away free the whole 9months I've been here (I think I'm ready now to try a limited commission run or possibly a package deal with a colorist/painter) on the forums.

    To that note many contests are held by collectors and artists where the prizes are free art, many talented people sell their stuff for less than it's worth to build up a base of fans or a portfolio, other more established artists who charge more have sales to make their stuff affordable to more people, heck I've seen some wander in wanting to test out a new technique they just learned and ask for refs and bam, free art to whomever posts first.

    There are also free art trades (if your friend starts drawing again) or FArt cameo's (just ask Amerikatt ) and there are milestones like when someone hits 5k posts here or Kiribans when someone hits 10k views on DA or the HMP's (hundreds milestone posts) that I do.

    Sometimes you'll have an artist show up, do a bunch of free art then disappear (like Pirate Cashoo) and some times there are events (like when Pyro hosted the Cannonbrawl Run) with art as a prize for winning a series of point based challenges (aren't we like overdue for a CannonBrawl Run part deux? hint hint )... point is there are lots of opportunities to snag some cool art if you check in regularly and participate in threads/give feedback often.

    Nah you don't suck (if I thought that about your stuff I wouldn't bother wasting the time to illustrate things out for ya) hands are a real struggle for many artists (notice my hands drawings aren't going to win me any awards either )... I just thought that knowing what position the fingers had to be in to cast that shadow was giving you problems and maybe seeing it drawn out might help. No worries either way buddy.

  21. Wohooo it lives!
    That is looking really nice DD and I can't wait to see it finished.
  22. Ahhhhh! Shadow bunnies that hit for -end, RUN! ...or at least attack from long range!

    Great twist Pyro.

    P.S. not that it's critical to the piece (it covers the retcon just fine either way) but I don't think the hands in that position would cast that shadow (yes I've seen the youtube video)... instead of the index and middle fingers making up the ears the middle and ring fingers should be the ears and the index should stick out and bend back in to form the nose and eye of the bunny.

    Something more like this for the right hand...

    ** CR= 2 - Vex= 0 **
    Not that anyone is keeping score or anything...
  24. Oh very nice. I love the colors here and the fade out on her cape... also the flagrant use of orange is a plus.

    Only thing I would mention is her right hand is missing the distal phalanx (digit at the very tip) of her pinky...
    it should be visible tucked up under her middle phalanx in that position.

    Very nicely done overall and you did great with the chest emblem and cape clasp... they are instantly recognizable.
    I'm voting you start a thread too... worse case you will just have to pop in more often to avoid the necro.
  25. That Lilly/Purcell Planet Girl is very striking... exceptional on many levels.
    Oh and I'm glad you guys are consolidating it will make it easier to keep up with all the great art you guys pull.
