It's a great piece. Grats, Wicked. Can't actually post the one I got.

I am too lazy to post screenies, but I have plenty of references in my DA gallery.

I love this idea. Now I will have to choose between your monthly calender pic and Jeremy Farlow's version as my desktop.

Great looking pic!

That is why I am waiting until the end to comment. I would run out of superlatives before he was finished with these regular updates.

Looks fabulous, Sun!

If you ever need characters to tinker around with. . .

Great stuff, both of you!

Bomb pops!? I want one!

Well if TA doesnt yet have a Medieval version of his character, he should. This is a great idea.

I got the snowball, snowbeast and the hat relatively quickly just by opening presents. I was under the impression that you would be awarded another holiday cheer which you would have to give away, but instead you get a mystery gift (like what you get when someone gives you their holiday cheer) and you open it for a surprise.

Great stuff, Speedy. And it was cool bumping into you in Atlas today. Lookd forward to seeing more of your stuff.

Here is Britannia . I was thinking blaster for the pose, but the more pics I see....I think maybe she's a tank? Not sure, but I hope ya like it anyways.

Wow! She looks fabulous! Thanks so much! As to her power set, she is a martial arts scrapper. Brandon originally drew her with an energy aura around her fist and it has leaked over to other pics too. I have incorporated it into her character now. It is an energy punch much like Ironfist wields, I call it her "Pendragon Hand".

I wasnt sure where to post this, but I figured that this is where I spend most of my forum time, so what the heck. I have begun a new feature for my DeviantArt journal. I call it "Out of my mind" and it will detail the backstories of my characters that have been depicted in various pieces of art. I have 3 main characters who have been drawn and 2 newly minted ones that I am nuts about. I have tied these newbies into my Invincibelle character and they will be appearing in artwork in the near future, as soon as RL problems resolve themselves. I figure that you folks have seen some of these characters multiple times, but not many really know WHO they are. So without further ado I present to you:

"Out of my mind" Chapter 1: Britannia

I would love a spot in your queue, I have plenty of reference artwork in the gallery in my sig. Look forward to seeing more of your work.

I dont have links to artwork of other peoples characters, but many that I would have listed already have been. As such, I will pick a couple of stand outs of my own characters. I have received a lot of at over this past year and couldnt possibly link to all of the wonderful artists who have contributed to my collection. I picked 2 that showcase my signature hero and villain locked in their endless battle, and 1 where circumstances force them to cooperate. Feel free to check the link in my sig to see many more pictures by many talented artists, many of whom are right here on the CoH boards.

Awesome stuff! Grats, Kat. And great work, Brandon. I had already seen the ambush one on Brandon's DA page, but the other is new to me. I love them both.

Silly question....
But on my one toon I really want the santa hat I got it on the first try!!!
But when I went to ICON, I could not find it, is there a level requirement? or is this a random bug?

The santa hat is in the hat category. It is the first one on the list and is called the stocking hat. It is confusing because there is another one further down the list also called stocking hat but it is a different hat.

You sooo sound like you are hitting on TA's Mom.

You know, if you ever convince her to get a forum account, she will have to take a name like Momma TA.

Seriously, she is quite good.

So, seeing as how most Moms bake cookies . . . and yours also draws very well . . . does that mean if we get to commission her in the future that we get . . . (wait for it) . . .

MILC and cookies?!

(yeah, that was kind of forced, but I had nothing else)

So does this mean Momma TA is a MILC?

(Mom I'd Like to Commission)

Well, now she can save money on your gifts. All she has to do is give you art.

Seriously, that looks great. Go Momma TA!

hmmm, that didnt sound right.

I am a a hugger - good, firm ones, not namby, pamby, 'not-sure-how-much-body-contact-is-appropriate' type hugs which are worse than limp handshakes (ARGH I HATE LIMP handshakes!!).

A real hug is eye contact, a real smile and then a firm, relaxing hold for 2 to 5 seconds where bodies are in contact and both people breathe easily. Then another warm smile and eye contact.

Then you're done!

I dont get hugs, so I will take your word for it.

. . . .what? So I'm a big comic/sci-fi geek stereotype, sue me.

you can also farm it in Atlas. get a buddy, have one of you keep making new alts, skip the tutorial and immediately give your gift. in 4 attempts I got the hat and the jetpack last night. when it was my friends turn, it took 10 times or so before he got snowball and the hat.

The only bummer in this whole thing is that you cant wear the Santa hat and the earmuffs at the same time.

I think that Kitty is supposed to be in the rafters. Her feet are braced against the rafters and she is hanging onto a pipe to keep her up and out of sight. This way, her hair is hanging down. She looks to be getting ready to pounce upon our unsuspecting heroine.
