Lol- Your Fury and you.... Don't worry you're just growing up to be an Energy Brute - Brilliant.

Thankyou for the additions of poses and missing names littleones!,keep them coming please!, yes...if you are missing in-shot it is probably becuse you were near the back or obstructed by another Hero, and the same with the names... pixelation made a few names unreadable, but you will all be added in time.

*Electro-Cute: The screenie is wallpaper size as it is and at the moment is about 2 Mb which is pretty hefty.
The Original Photoshop file is 300dpi and about 36Mb.
I suppose I could send any interested heros a 'slightly' better resolution print-worthy file if you like(just send me a private message and I will make a note).
I think realistically a file about 4-5 mb is the best my email could handle.
All this will happen after I have done everybodys revisions regarding poses/adding names.

Hello Moondog,
Thanks for the picture i will add you again.
Just to check, can you please let me know where you are in the original picture (different cossie?)or are you missing from it?..... just so i dont duplicate people.
Thanks.

2. Keep it original. You can submit the single best design in the world, but if it infringes on copyright, trademark, or intellectual property, we can't use it.

Do we have permission to use Cox Imagery dear?

There seems to be one typo in the quote, isn't it supposed to be 'overwhelming' and not 'over whelming'

Thx- , - Corrected now on updated version.
I'll wait for all the amendments before reposting new version.

Thankyou for the kind comments - If it looks good it's only because of all you guys.

Hello ,

Ummm, I've done a little screenshot/wallpaper thingy of the Memorial.
If you cannot see yourself either on-screen or listed, or if I have made any mistakes name-wise, please let me know in the thread.
Also, as all of us were limited by screenshot angles and resolution.... obviously those of you at the back were tiny and very hard to pick out or enlarge without pixelation. The long and the short of it is I hope this screenshot to evolve, if you are missing or tiny because you were at the back and you fancy reposing 'military saluting' (minimum requirement: Red Cape) try to get a big full screen picture of yourself and I will try add you to the picture in a more prominent position.
Inclusion is strictly for those that were there on the night.

Enjoy...

P.s: you all looked Fantastic and I'm sure Christopher appreciated the sentiment.
Hopefully the event will be even bigger next year.

Thankyou very much for the comments littleones.
Commissions? - hehehe, no, well... maybe in the future.

There are Twenty-Six of you!.

Congratulations Miss!

I really like it

That's quite a difficult pose to draw, and my opinion the left outstretched arm doesn't look broken, but perhaps slightly less palm showing would help in your 'draw through'.

Great stuff Chaplain, post more

[/ QUOTE ]

Very good, if you are still concerned about the left arm.... try angling the shoulder slightly more towards the viewer, bending the elbow a bit more which in turn would mean foreshortening the forearm, also as a guide the open-palm hand is as big as the face but coming dramatically towards the viewer....its' even bigger!.
1st class effort though!

Yes Please dear!... I'd love to hear chapter 2!,.....
You have a seat and tell us aaaaaaall about it.
You are very talented! - What an Imagination!
Cup of tea?

.....*backs away slowly / fixed smile / hits speed-dial 999

Well, you do have to take into consideration where to draw/where not to draw, line width and crosshatching for depth of field and perspective) and many more things.... the books can demonstrate way better than i could explain.

....and yes, its meeeeee ...looking all melancholy on my semi-retirement.

Okaaay... ,
Don't say i didn't warn you.
Apologies for the roughness...its not inked/painted/done to scale etc.

Rough Scribble

To quote Jor-el,

"Your Work would be called for Endlessly.... even for those tasks which Human-beings could solve themselves.
It is their habit to abuse their resources in such a way.

With this in mind, .....
Would any medical research get done in Paragon if we called on Empaths all the time?
Any agriculture/fire fighting advances get done if Storm-Controllers were called on as a default?
Any cutting-edge physics research advances made if Portal Corp. employed a team of Grav-Controllers?

Something to think about eh !

Good luck with our cousins acroos the pond!, let us know how you get on. See you on your return.

Welldone Hun..x

What a good idea! *blatently nicks Cynics inadvertant idea and runs of to post on suggestions

I wanted to share some of the literature which has got me up and running drawing Comic art.

I wasn't aware if everyone knew there was in essence a second 'How to' Marvel titled book, as It is in my opinion far better and a more up to date drawing style than the Silver-age 70s inspired 'How to draw Comics the Marvel Way'...which although Is an absolute classic, misses out on subjects such as dramatic light and colour theory.
A little shorter at ninety-odd pages as opposed to 155 pages, It is in my opinion a more rounded overall book.
There is a third Marvel book but I cannot recomend it as a) I haven't got it, b)I'm not sure how good a book is that comes with its own little colouring pens(*snigger) and is stamped 100% Klutz Certified! *hehehe.

Anyway, heres some of the books I use to try and draw.
Enjoy.

How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way Stan Lee and John Buscema. Titan Books. £7.25 (Amazon.co.uk)

Drawing Dynamic Comics Andy Smith. Watson-Guptill Publications. £9.86 (Amazon.co.uk)

The DC Comics Guide to Pencilling Comics Klaus Janson. Watson-Guptill Publications. £9.41 (Amazon.co.uk)

The DC Comics Guide to Inking Comics Klaus Janson. Watson-Guptill Publications. £9.41 (Amazon.co.uk)

And finally....
You Can Draw Marvel Characters Dan Jurgens. £8.57 (Amazon.co.uk).

I have the Spiral bound version with stencils, but don't worry about those, they are just one page at the end of the book of cutout sfx-sound ballons, they are an afterthought and are worse than useless.
The ordinary version should have the Trace Overlays which are good for seeing how a drawing is broken down and posed.
Also do not be put of by the reading range saying it is for 9-12 yr olds. This book is a better all round beginners to Intermediate book than the 'How to Draw' Marvel book, and goes into subjects like Dramatic lighting and Colour Theory that the first Marvel book doesn't even touch on.

Happy Drawing.

Try logging on an hour earlier and sending out some invites.

Enjoy your break from Paragon dear! and heres to arriving back,refreshed and raring to go!.
Don't forget to get your SG to collect the Halloween Salvage parts for you for your fifth cossie slot if you'd like it on your return.
