Don't reply to the post above - to be flagged for Ex to update the original post.

Anything you wish linked to in the listing, please post here. Just be sure to check that the link's not already there. For instance, all the 2004 and 2005 fan video contest winners are linked together.

And if you have any suggestions for a better way to sort these, I'd love some input. By name, for those with several, and then 'Misc' for one or two is how I started, but there may be a better way to do it.


Edit: This got me to thinking....no fan video contest since '05? Seems like it's time for another round to me!

I figured I would formally submit one of my pieces for the scoop.

If you choose not to use it, due to it making others look bad, I understand.

Scirocco - Dusty Breezes (sounds like a porn name )

Nemesis - Lady Nemesis could work
Nosferatu - Lady Bathory
Requiem - Miss Defunctis?

Clockwork Queen.

As for Darque's picture being too riskque I'd like to cite page 21 of comic 11 found here:

http://www.cityofheroes.com/comic/download.html

I think if they are toting thier comics on thier website, then anything that is comparable should also be allowed.

I must have missed something - there was a piece rejected for the Scoop? What was it? I don't think I've seen many pieces here that are any different than I see in comics.

I wonder if it was the piece, or some of the other at on her DA page in the same gallery, maybe.

Yeah, I was amazed that the only people in-game who even recognized my characters' art commissions are people I know in my SG who regularly read the Scoop. The quantity of people who don't visit here is huge, and of the ones that do hit the forums, the percent of those who read the Scoop is even smaller.

I wonder if there's some way to get the word out to get more forum participation (and hence more readers of the Scoop, more discussion and inut, more art commissioners, more artists, more ...). Is it overwhelming here with all the areas? Should there be a section for new forum visitors with the basics? Should we drag them kicking and screaming to the Scoop posts which may not be easy to find if you don't read the Dev Digest?

Yeah, I know I posted several in there that weren't used yet, and even linkied my DA page for ones I may have missed. There are a lot of them out there on our various DA pages.

Great commission. I had just sent a note about a commission to her, too.

Good stuff - congrats!

We could do it that way, but here's my thought...most all of the stuff here can really be deleted after a time. There are a few things we want to keep available that could be marked as such, but the rest could probably all go after it's been here for 3, 4, 6 (?) months or so.

I think it would be easiest to post the ones we *want* to keep, and axe the rest last accessed prior to some set date.

Does that sound reasonable?

I saw those vids - they actually automatically load one after another. It might be easier for people to view if there was a page with links to them individually, to keep the load size smaller.

Excellent! Thanks very much for the file - this is one of my faves.

Is it possible to get sound files other than the zone music? I'm thinking of stuff like the moans when around the cemetary in Striga, etc.

Just checking my characters on my first acount, I have people made (and most played a bit) on every server but Guardian, so if I'm not tied up I could be bribed to swap over to a relative lowbie (i.e. under 20).

If it gets too laggy on some servers, come on over to Pinn and I'll dust off a seat for you.

Nice!

And Happy Birthday, WP!!

Yeah, you'll have to hit Print Screen, then paste it into Paint, then save it.

Pinnacle server:

Not sure the specific characters, so I'll be on:
Globals: @darkether or @dark ether
I have stuff across all range of levels, generally, so I'm not sure what I'll be focusing on, if anything specific. My goal for the year is to get my last 3 ATs to 50 so I'll have at least one of each, so maybe one of my Defs (35-40), Kheld (36-ish), or Blaster (21-ish). Or I may play a 50 for some influ. Like I said, I'm not sure. But I'll swap out to team if I'm not teamed already. Heck, I may even swap servers, but those are generally below 20.

Friday after about 6 pm CT
Sat after about 5 pm CT
Sunday after about 1 pm CT

Those are great pieces - congrats!!

Now if you could just get the 3D body model and costume pieces from NCSoft, and one of those 3D printers, I'd buy some figs from you!

Looks cool! Nice work.

I'd love to read the creative bio, Gata. =)

I think most people didn't see the free colored drawing for the the creative bio bit. So if you'd like to write one, you would be the 2nd person in the running for some free Fanart. ^-^

P.S. maybe I should have underlined it or doesn't anyone want a drawing from me? =(

Truth be known, we'd *all* like art from you. We're just trying not to be too piggish about it.

Maybe look at one of the invention boots then? They might look better for what you want.

Wow - I missed that great one! The Rikti Monkey herd almost brought a tear to my eye.

I think I saw you on earlier with that character...musta been in Icon.

I like the looks alot. The first one looks like you have clawed gloves, which is neat.

The only thing I wish was that it were possible to have the materials looking similar enough to keep the colors looking the same. I have that issue alot with my costumes and always have to tweak them to get as close as I can.

Bumping - seems like an oldie but a keeper?
