Farwielder

Very very nice.

Haha when the glow effets are added at the end it looks like we all "power up". Great job Alex and I'm glad Farwielder could be a part of it.

WOOOOOOOO Great job. Love the spikey things.

Happy birthday Farwielder

Thanks Rowr. It's Mantid's birhday too I belive.

Very very nice work. You should post more.

Wow Gills birthday is just three days before mine.

Sometime last year I started posting in the forums more frequently and specifically the art forum. I'd see Gills posts and they pushed me to work harder on my art and to keep trying. The sketches that I turn out are nothing compared to the brilliance and beauty that is created by your hands Gill and yet I push myself to one day be able to create works as detailed and wonderful as yours and for that I can only say thank you.

Keep up the good work big guy.

That's what I thought too. I don't know about it but Bas's arms are the same colour as the background so they are done.

The lizard guy's stomach might be the same as well.

Very nice! And Farwielder has some colour on him too.

Great job so far Alex.

I'm gonna try my hand at Xander Frost next.

Xer'tul Inks

Some of the line weights need fixing, I flubbed the hair and part of the right arm but other then that this is done.

You got free art from me awhile back Speed!

See!

Some pencils on Xer'tul

Personally I think I'm getting better

I need to re do his head. I started very differantly at the top but as I moved down the drawing took more character making the head look wierd.

His shoulders need to be beefed up as well and that belt is looking mighty puny about now.

I'm taking a shot a Xer,tul right now. I'll post my rough sketch in a second.

If someone has a male character that they'd like me to draw for them I'd try it out. The reason I ask for males is that I'd like to draw something I will like in the end and my females do not look so great.

So post some screens and I'll choose in no particular order who I draw.

Only so many times I can say that it's fantastic Alex!

Great job.

Very neat.

Ha it's cool White. Though I think you've finally given me a name for Farwielder's praetorean version.

I know I haven't posted much lately but come on White we're buddies. How could you forget my name.

As for my favorites...I'd have to say Alex's sketches are some of my all time favorite. There is so much character in them.

Crimson Jimson does some really great black and white work too.

Graver's stuff is both very discouraging and motivating for me at the same time.

OOOh loving The Electric Insect so far CJ!

*Squeeeeeeeeeeee*

Seriously tho, Amp his power level up. Demolish that City Block. Make Far an actual viable target for both the Freedom Phalanx and The Rogue Isles to notice. That gives us the reader complete believability that Statesman/Arachnos would have to take notice.

Haha interestingly that's where I was going to go with it until I thought you had talked me out of it. I thought you meant to make him less powerful when in fact you wanted him stronger. Gotcha

Admittedly I don't know who the writer you refered to is so in my head I thought he was an author that just made every character a god and well that's never fun.

Ohh the little blip about being able to level a city block was just Mant talking about how being a natural origin hero he doesn't have any powers he can't control (besides that arrow teleport deal) and how feels he isn't all that powerful. I wasn't talking about Far specificly . I need to word that better.

Far really won't have contact with any of Freedom Phlanx other then this encounter with Sister and Manticore since he's his adopted Dad.

Statesman really IS just sending Mant out on busy work, but Mant finds out what happened to his parents and relates to him and takes him. Essentially Far is on his way to becoming a villain (more on that later) Also the rumors of his powers (at this point) are highly exagerated. He as of now has only destroyed one building, which was by complete and utter accident. So for now Far really isn't anything special.

Mant and Sister are trying to approach him right now with an ultimatum.
You'll just have to wait to see.

This is just a preview of what I've got so far. It takes off from a very important moment in Far's hero career. Hope you like it so far.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

“States said the kid would be around here somewhere. He could make it easier by setting another apartment complex ablaze”

“Shh Manticore! We know that was an accident. He can’t control his powers very well yet.”

It’s always been different for me I guess. When I shoot my bow I’ve gotta think about it. I take the arrow from my quiver, set it into the bow, pick a target and release. Nothing as automatic as getting a little hot under the collar and leveling a city block.

“Try not to make jokes about his powers. He has a real sensitivity towards them it seems.”

Psyche is right. I don’t know what he’s been through. With the thousands of capes in Paragon it’s only once in awhile that a kid who’s only just developed his powers gets special attention from the big guy himself.

He must have something special to him.
Or maybe this is all just busy work, keep me outta State’s hair for awhile.
Guess we'll see.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just wondering, So far have I captured Sister Psyche and Manticore well?

Other comments, Critisisms?

Errr I just re read your post and it turns out you only wanted the group costum not the entire characters. Oh well take from these guys what you will.
