An idea I had.
Anyone interested can comment, any artists that want to be added can
respond here, note me on DA or PM me (although my mailbox is almost full... again
).
Pass it along!

Some great details here Flash.
10 figures is a lot to compose I know, out of curiosity was the "hole in the center" composition intentional?
In other words did you ring the figures around an empty spot to try and create visual interest or did it just work out that way?

.......................It makes me sad that I will probably not be able to finish those arcs. I think those two zones have a lot of depth but I totally outleveled them before I could finish all the stories. I'd have to go back and do them as Oro.................

Always cool to see your works in progress BW. Thanks for posting these.
-
You should have plenty of refs now.
Let me know if you need anything else.

Off to a fine start Xenophage.
I have lots of gift line art in my thread (mostly of other peoples heroes given for birthdays and prizes) if anything in
there inspires you. Also there is a collab thread here that has several artists line work posted with coloring permission given.
P.S. KtheWife is still around on DA she left her old account and set up two new ones.
One for art commissions and the other for WIPS and ranting. Can find her here and here.

Staples offers scanning (something like 15 cents a page) other office stores may offer it as well. Call around I'm sure you can find something.
Several great CoH artists around. I too would highly recommend Alex Dai (ImagesbyAlex) as well as LJ (BAquitania).
Also Liz (Syrusb) mentioned somewhere recently (edit: like in the post right above mine) that she is
open too (not sure of her pricing but her finale for the Fan Art contest was pretty sweet).
DarthDelicious and Battlewraith are both great and both have sales on right now. BW's que is
full but he might take more as he gets through his list. Here's one of the pieces Jason did
for me... still one of my favorite interpretations of my witch Chloe Macomber.
DD on the other hand just started her sale and it's a steal! This much was going out of my account
every month for my one VIP account anyway (and now isn't anymore) so I don't even miss it.
Here is her take on of one of my heroes, the goddess Xllusya.

Sad situation
but awesome sale! Sign me up for one of the digital busts for starters.
Somehow screenshots just don't seem good enough for my favorite characters now that I know the game is going away.
-
Took some fun shots on that map as well.

Not sure if it's his channel or not but it's here on Youtube from 5½ years ago.
How would "the original" be any different? Are you looking for something more than the video?

On the subject of graphical glitches, there was a glitch on beta I was experiencing which I did not get around to troubleshooting yet. It caused NPCs to get distorted when they were a certain distance from me. Up close, it was fine. Very far away, fine. But as you approached them, there was an intermediate range where it seemed the model got deformed. What happened was, essentially, they got pinheads and their torsos were stretched.
Unfortunately I can only find one screencap of it, because as I said I wasn't investigating it fully yet. What's really unfortunate is the NPC I first noticed the problem on:
detail but in testing how many instances of the game I could run simultaneously
without lag (7 turns out) I turned all the visual settings down and saw this same thing.
I forget which slider it is but turning it up a small amount corrects it.
Holy mutant arms batman!

BBkickit!
So back in 07 there was a "Kheldians only" bug that let a PB or WS use their dwarf form transformation
to "break" the emotes list. Once done the normal emotes were replaced with ones not normally open
to players i.e. using a boombox and playing Jumpy (bbjumpy) would make you projectile vomit.
This led to all sorts of fun stuff you could do but my favorite was by far the air tumble.
Using the boombox channel Kickit let you perform the animation of being hit with Ghost Widows
Soul Tentacles (except without the actual tentacles... or horrible death that usually follows)
and it would let you tumble around about 10ft off the ground as if you were floating in
some invisible hamster ball/gyroscope contraption for as long as you wanted.
I made my first dwarf form PB just to have it and used it all the time!
There were tumble parties going on in Atlas with dozens of Khelds spinning/floating under
the Atlas statue but I couldn't find a screenshot (maybe someone else has one?).
Wish this one had never been "fixed."

Stay Tyranty my friend.
-
That's cool!
I see why I missed it for so long... 90% or more of my screenshotting is when I am solo and "posing" for the camera.
But there are a few group shots of my old SG and big events and they do show the list both
in the hover text and in the rightclick >properties >details under "Title."
Thanks Zekiran, I've already had several
"Oh now I remember who that is!" moments looking through my gallery.
<---not on FB but found it. Also size of icon appears to be irrelevant, the info shows even in list view.

Anyone remember when the Nemesis Staff looked like this?

Nice. Hey what happened to her eye between posts?

Where do you see team mate names?

I've watched this so many times over the years I've lost count. Thanks for sharing Miss_Abyss.
P.S. For having a Firefly quote in your sig you officially win one internetz!

TLDR: Thanks everyone for everything the last three years on the forums and 7+ years ingame. You guys are the best!
Thanks TA, I was thinking to put up a farewell thread like this for the 606 but I couldn't
bring myself to do it just yet... somehow trying to delay the inevitable I guess.
Thanks everyone! I picked up drawing again after an almost 8 year hiatus and even started to learn some
digital art skillz. Thanks for all the insights, inspiration and the occasional kick in the backside.
Also for all the recent kind posts, notes, emails, PM's etc. Between losing a close family
member and the accident that broke my legs it's been a really tough year,
this great community made the ongoing circus easier to bear.
Special thanks to Bobby/LJ/BAquitania, his ridiculous generosity with his artz helped me cross the infinite divide between
thinking it might be fun to try drawing something again to actually creating my first CoH artz 3 years ago.
Also to Suichiro for giving such a great and thorough critique of it.
To Caemgen for taking one of my early works and making it his (still running) avatar.
Such a small thing but it had such a huge impact on my confidence in my work being worth a damn.
Also for blabbing in my thread so much... no seriously the guy never shuts up in there (ahem, thanks buddy).
DarthDelicious for being such a great friend and inspiration and for being so cool to hang out and
chat with (even though she lives 7 hours in the future... and on the wrong side of the
ocean and all). That DD collab is still one of my favorites.
Speaking of Collabs... EddySwan, LordGoat, BW, the other BW, DD, Henri, Ransim, Vrykon,
LJ, Caemgen (Iknowright?), and Ruby (hope I got em all). Thanks for all the time,
effort and for combining your considerable talents to help me make some
truly unforgettable works (quadruple collab anyone?).
Thanks to ImagesbyAlex for the DaD threads which inspired my 40in60 challenge and to PyroNympho
for TheHotPencil thread, (and for my shiny sig button) Juggertha, TA, Wassy, BW and DD for
hosting the FArts and putting up with all the nonsense that went along with it. I was
sooo rusty when I started drawing again, your guy's contributions
helped dramatically speed up my "recovery time."
Amerikatt for always sticking her nose (and paws, and tail) into
my art when I least expected it, and for keeping my artz in her sig. Thanks!
To all the other artists and artz collectors who have come and gone, your creations and commissions
were a huge motivation to me keep striving to improve (well a couple really gutted me
and made me wonder what the heck I was doing when I would never be able to
create art like that but, you know, for the most part... thanks)
Fan Artz and Gift Artz! To all who have done/commissioned art of my characters (Cami, DD, BW, Nojitsu,
Bobby, Swanzy, Pirate Cashoo, Lexi, Caemgen, JoeD, Omi, Nox etc) I love em all!
To all the people who let me draw their beloved characters over the years, thanks
for allowing me to hone my craft through your inspired and often personally significant creations.
For all those who took the time out of their real life days to leave kind words, constructive comments
and criticisms and to frequent my thread here and watch/fav my page on DA, I cannot thank you enough.
Finally a quick shout-out to the lurkers. Even though you never said a word I still seriously appreciate all your time
and repeated visits. I could not have built the most watched art thread on the forums without each and
every one of you. Throughout the "lean" times of the cycle when things got real quiet and I
was starting to wonder if anyone was still interested in my art seeing dozens (and often
hundreds) of daily pageviews was enough to keep me going. Thank you all.
I for one am hoping that this game can live on in some form or other but if this is truly the
City's end, farewell, I'll miss you all. It'll never be the same but those who want
to keep in contact can still find me on DA and I also frequent Skype.
...and thanks to anyone who just read all that. That's 5 minutes
of your life you're never getting back Mwahahah!

Well done to all the finalists and congratulations Liz!
Glad to see an official announcement () and I'd like
to see a summary as well since this will most likely be the last one.

These are nice. Got any others to post before the forums go down?

Let's hope we can get our hands on an updated standalone character creator.
There is a stand alone CC that came out with the release of "City of Hero" their
Asian release, it's horribly outdated (couple years worth of stuff missing) but it does exist.
Interesting site Fennec.
