Guess my earlier post didn't go through for some reason... summing up then,
Cool style, great pics, make wit' da CoH themed artz yo!
... oh and welcome to the best part of the forums Measley.

Hey Pyro. What if, in your retcon, the evnets leading up to the creation of the PTA (Paragon Transit Authority) never happened, so there were no trams... some heroes would need to find alternate transportation. Would that make it work for ya?
-
Both are very cool screenshots... never seen the underside of the mothership before, nice!
-
If only...
This would beat the hell out of riding the tram all the darn time.

If you goto that webpage, there is an ondemand section where you can watch recordings of previous sessions. The only drawback is that you can't read people's chat comments unless you have a ginormous monitor like Christopher Robbin's.

***Looks at Billz sig*** Yeah I kinda wondered what was the deal with the dots for the cigar heh...
But looking at the avatar again, it does kinda look like a red and yellow dot.
Yep that is definitely Android 18 in that pic. Wow I was able to get that from your HBAS without seeing a ref and without you knowing what you were drawing either.
Sadly this can only mean your drawings are actually getting less horrible over time... you may want to work on that.

Wow 28 is awesome, 30 reminds me of a print taken from a woodblock carving style, 32 while more demure than the others has a great look to it as well and 33 well BAM! pretty much sums it up. Great exploding armor effect... the out of focus bits really enhance the speed and violence of the blast.
Good stuffz!
-
Haha these are teh funnehz.
I was always wondering if that avatar that BillzBubba uses is Thulsa Doom with horns and a cigar painted in?
Angry Yellow's reminds me a bit of Android18 from DBZ for some reason. Oh and welcome to the jungle Early Girl...

Our vantage point seems to be in the center of a revolving barrel (gatling/vindicator style)
mini-gun with all the barrels in a ring around firing at once, interesting.
Yeah his expression is great... " Is true economy is tough, dah... but bullets?"
-
Much improved... especially the horns look a lot better. Also the ridge where they protrude from the skull looks more realistic and the hair now follows Sanchez's lines much closer. Every change you made looks to be an improvement. Good work Thornster.
-
Wow the rich do get richer... in art that is.
Raking in some excellent pieces here T.A., carry on!
-
This is my new favorite piece from you Genie.
I like the colors, the orange of the flames on the blue of the sky and
the silver of her eyes on the brown of her skin all make for some really nice contrast, very nice.
The fire almost seems to be following a pattern like some kind of symbol or rune, is that what you were going for?
-
...and another addict is born.
-
PM'd you my idea Wassy hope it fits with the theme as I already started prelim sketches for it.
-
Hahaha. That may be my favorite HBAS yet.
-
I too am following along with your few and far between posts and can't wait to see what you have in store. I love your coloring technique and am happy to see you branching out.
Now post more often demmit!
-
Me three.
I love the dramatic lighting, vivid colors and high contrast... wicked cool.
The only minor thing I noticed slightly amiss is that the figure is lit predominantly from the right side and while the cast shadows on himself are correctly going right to left (like the shadow of the sword on his thigh) the shadow on the ground looks to be cast from a light source that is overhead and slightly in front of him.
That said I think he did an excellent job on the shadow itself (it looks very accurate and believable) it just needs to be skewed to the left more. A very quick and easy fix if he still has the layers available.
Awesome grab Malus, I have a new artist to add to my DA watch.
-
Oh very cool... *goes off to download and give it a listen*
Brassy and heroic yep and I do hear the notes of Atlas during the intro. This is good stuff Hellstorm, got any more?

First of let me say you have a great attitude in regards to this piece, as LJ said it's a gift and as such it's the thought and that you were willing to take time out of your day to say thanks with your art, that is what really matters but in addition to that you choose to see this gift as practicing your craft... as an opportunity to improve and that is most commendable.
Here's what I would comment on/ add to your list in no particular order...
(speaking from my perspective... left means my left not hers)
The base of the left thumb where it connects to the hand is on top which is only possible if the palm is facing toward us and as such all her fingers would be visible in a column not in profile. I realize you didn't do much work on the hands but the simple act of putting the thumbs in the right position (or turning the hand to match the thumb) would make it more believable. This would also change the position of the glove spines.
If your eye follows the line of her jaw, from her chin on back, it looks like it continues straight through to the back of her head... it should instead visibly start to curve up towards her ear.
Her shoulders don't match. The right one seems small and almost tucked under the bicep while the left (although covered somewhat by hair) if we follow the line of the triceps from the elbow up seems to be half again as large.
"Bewbs are large. Nuff said" I fail to see the problem here.
No really I don't see them as overly large or disproportionate to her frame... she is 8ft tall after all.
The lower leg, hip to knee is not to small as you mention but too short (in length). You correctly state knee to ankle is too long.
In her "groin area" the two inner thighs connect to each other (the lower leg seems to attach to the upper one directly) instead of separately connecting to the torso. There should be a natural "gap" ...ahem.
Her hair and the spikes seem to impossibly coexist, in other words they are taking up the same space rather than the hair flowing around the spikes.
I especially like her lips too, very well done, and her expression is very well conveyed even through a mask.
The hair, while very stylized, is pleasing to look at and shows volume and decent lighting, thought I would suggest less light and of a different intensity so it is distinctly obvious that it's hair (reflects light differently) and not the same as the material of her outfit.
The sky looks nice.
I like her pose it's very graceful but as you mentioned her foot should either not be anchored or there should be something solid under it.
I think you covered the rest pretty well.
CR
P.S. You should never be afraid to use a reference. Studying similar poses and lighting schemes and using what you see to help inform your decisions and correct problems is perfectly fine in my opinion.

I doubt my caption will help your cause any with the retcon requirement (you'd have to ask Wassy) I just thought it was funneh.
-
That really is a remarkable statistic considering it's not the total number just the number of unique different ones.
Big Ups to ya Juggertha, keep on rollin.
-
Some very striking colors there, particularly the Unleashing Force one really pops.
Oh and welcome to the forums Nobody...
err wait a second that don't sound quite right...
ummm welcome, you?
-
Gratz on the 10k DE! I'd say welcome to the forum cartel but give me a few years to get there first.
-
Can't speak for Bobby or anyone else but I really like the coloring job you did on his LJ pic.
