Doc_Kro

I really liked Sparrow_Hawk's costume thread and I look forward to seeing more from her. Her thread got me inspired to...well...for lack of a better term, "show-off" my costume designs, too.

I think very highly of the opinions of the "Screenshots and Fan Art" community and I've really enjoyed my time spent here.

I'm not that great with the "poses" or anything, and they aren't the best screenies ever taken, but yeah...

Anyway, without further ado...

Many of ya'll have seen my buddy, Kro, but I figured I'd toss him in the ring first.

Kro - Force Field/Radiation Blast Defender.

Xander Frost - Ice Control/Storm Summoning Controller.

Resident Metalhead, King Wiki - Broadsword/Invulnerability Scrapper.

Wanna make some sparks? Summer Thunder - Electrical Blast/Electricity Manipulation Blaster.

Don't Worry, Hero! I'm Watching Your Back!
Kamera (Pronounced like "Camera"). - Illusion Control/Sonic Resonance Controller.

I've got a few more, but these seemed like the best of my "designs" and I just wanted to share them with ya'll and see what ya thought.

Criticism, Compliments and Suggestions are more than welcome!

Thanks for taking a look, guys!

You've caught my attention, Grey.

My lv45 Ice/Storm Controller, Xander Frost has been without a good, solid background story for the extent of his 2 year career in CoH. Unlike most of my toons, Xander was created on a wim and I just wanted to see who I liked the powersets that I had chosen and I was just trying out Controllers as well. With that in mind, I never really put any thought into him. I, to some extent, hate his name, since it's so generic and I could never really come up with a good background, unlike all my other characters...

Anyway, I digress...

Background: None really to speak of...I've thought about him having something to do with the Gypsy culture, but that's not set in stone or thought out very well.

Name: His name IS Xander Frost. He was born as Xander Frost, Frost being his given family name...just so happens that it has worked out pretty well for his choice of profession!

Xander and Jack.

"Hey! Whoa, whoa, whoa! Freeze right there, chump!"

(If you need better screenies, PM me and I'll see what I can do.)

Origins: Xander's powers are Magic in origin. How those came to be...well, I haven't thought that one out, either. I feel like his powers were bestowed upon him by some being of nature. Like a "storm nymph" or "forest spirit" or something...All I can say is that his powers are strongly tied to nature. Though he specializes in the cold aspects of natures power (Ice Control, Freezing Rain, Gale, Snowstorm...), he has other abilities that go beyond cold and such (Lightning Clap, Tornado, Hurricane, O2 Boost, so on and so on.).

Powersets: Ice Control/Storm Summoning/Ice Mastery.

History: None to really speak of, other than what I mentioned in the "Background" area, previously.

Style: Have you seen how "The Flash" acts in the "Justice League" cartoons? That is very similar to Xander's personality. He doens't take himself too seriously and he really enjoys what he does and often you'll hear him spouting one-liners or cracking jokes in the midst of battle.

That's pretty much all I've got, Grey! If you've got any questions, please let me know. I hope I was able to give you enough information, since that's really all I know.

Thank you!

Whoo hoo! I can't wait to see it, Far!

*Grabs Antihiro in a big, manly bear hug*

Thanks, Antihiro!

No worries about the "Monster-Mini" thing. Was really just a suggestion...Can't blame a guy for trying, right!?

Gah...I edited it...everytime I edit one of my posts, it turns my sig off...lol.

Ooooooo...

Me likey! Antihiro? What do I have to do to get one of these little guys? I'm willing to pay in hugs.

Looking at your "Monster-Mini" I was thinking that Kro would look pretty incredible as one of those...though I would have no qualms if he was just another one of your "regular" minis...

Of course, that's if I meet the criteria, I guess.

Anyway, Kro's pics are in my siggy link. Thanks, either way, Antihiro!

Congratulations! Truly awesome!

Ah, yes. Most people misuse the word "Awesome". Al hit it right on the head, though.

awe·some-adjective
1. inspiring awe: an awesome sight.
2. showing or characterized by awe.

Da baby is truly awesome, indeed.

First of all, I love the way Digsite looks...always have. I wish I would have thought about it first!

Thanks Doc_Kro! Xander looks quite spiff himself.

[/ QUOTE ]

Thanks, bud! Btw, dunno if I was clear about my comment...

I love Al's interpretation of Digsite, but I was referring to the actual "in-game" toon of your's. Not sure if I was clear about that.

Darn you, BAS! I saw you standing in there with your "robo-arms" and neck thingy and thought it was Kro...

Got me all excited...

I love your art style! It reminds me of something, but I can't put my finger on it...like, "Daria" or something...either way, I love it! I wanna see more!

Btw, I play on Guardian and Lancelot Emery sounds extremely familiar...Hmm...

Haha! Congratulations, Alpha!

Magnificent Work, Al! I love the look of surprise that you were able to convey with just that one eye! That's awesome!

On that note, Happy Freak'n Birthday, Spade! I imagine that's a belated one...

Digsite is inked.

I have exagerated a lot on this one. The lines are more irregular in width than usual and there is absolutely no smooth curve.
I think Digsite looks good like that and I hope I don't deserve Alex's sketch by doing so.

I also made this in reaction to a comment left on CoHGuru who says that my lines [ QUOTE ]
really doesn't mesh well with the drawing style of imagesbyalex. the original drawings are curvaceous and motion-filled, but your inking lines are chunking and clumsy.

Secondly, I really enjoy the job you did on that sketch, Spino! I think that style looks great.

And this is Xander.

That's ma'boy! Thanks Spino! Looks great! Really COOL...Sorry! Had to...

He likes it. Not to toot my own horn, or anything, but you'd be surprised how many compliments I get on Kro.

[/ QUOTE ]

Not to toot your horn (that sounded dirty ) but I have always really liked how Kro looked.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ditto. I especially like your sketch a day by Alex. It had a "Where Monsters Dwell" feel to it. (Thats a old Marvel comic back before they got into superheroes)

[/ QUOTE ]



*Joyful, MANLY tear*

Thanks guys! I'm extremely proud of Kro. He's looked exactly the same since I created him...except the "Imp" ears...those didn't exist "back in the day".

[ QUOTE ]
Gah! So... much... black...

He's just a mess of ink with green eyes, the poor guy is practically a silhouette.

Anyway,

You haven't horribly maimed my character, Al. I expected that you'd put the glowiness in there later, since I noticed no one else has any either. Squeaky wheel gets the grease though, ya know?

ZOMG! I'm finally colored! /em praise

P.S. Not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but I noticed that Kro's got some peachy-look'n skin around his eyes...I'm not sure how much you're doing to him later, but I just wanted to point some stuff out, just in case:

1. Kro's skin is coal black. A result of the radiation that he's been exposed to for so long.

2. He's also got the "Imp" ears. A deformity, also brought on by radiation.

Thanks Al! I, by no means, ment to be rude and I hope I didn't come off that way. I just figured that, since you're putting the work into getting my toon into your pic (which is magnificent by the way /em asskiss) that you'd want him to be accurate...of course, I may have just jumped the gun and you'd have "fixed" those things without me even saying anything...

Either way, it looks Incredible!

You can use any of the righteous dudes that are in my sig. Just clicky the "Pics!" link. I've got Xander Frost (My Ice/Storm Controller), King Wiki (My BS/Invul Scrapper) and Kro (My "MAIN" and he's FF/Rad Defender).

Use any/all you like...just let me know if you do, cuz I wanna see it!

"Sky-One" is my favorite! Course, I've got a thing for fair-skinned women with odd-colored hair!

Her and Heather McBrea (Who looks kinda like Uma Thurman, except darker skinned. Look at her face and tell me she doesn't look like Ms. Thurman, lol.)

<_<

Where's the butchering!? I demand butchering! I see no butchering here!

Seriously though, Me like.

I like color, though.

*Wolf Whistles, Eyes bug out, jaw drops and tongue rolls out across the ground*

Ow, ow! Hubba hubba!

Oh! Oh! Can I throw my name in the hat, Juggs? I wanna put Kro in for consideration. You can find pics of him in my "Pics!" link in my sig. He's the "sturdy-looking" guy with green radiation coming out of his eyes.

Ya know, I'm noticing this too...You're improving incredibly fast, Derek! Your sense of perspective and feeling for where the light source is impress me the most. And the coloring, too.

I'm sure I don't have to tell you how fantastically awesome an artist you are or how much we all admire your dilligence with this piece and the many many others you've pumped out for this little community or go on about how much I've blabbed about this piece to my friends and passed out your web address or that you just plain ROCK!

[/ QUOTE ]

Deep breaths, Larissa! Deep breaths! In with the good out with the bad...That's right, just relax...

*helps Larissa into a La-Z-Boy Recliner and gives her a glass of water*

She'll be fine...just a little excited...

She's right, though, Al. You're an incredible dude.

First time I ever wished I had a black costume

[/ QUOTE ]

No worries, Kilo. Alex didnt' color ALL the black costumes.

My toon is, almost, all black and he's still ghostly pale.
