I think everyone has done an awesome job! ('Cept Caem, who now wants to l light ME on fire!! - j/k your piece is the awesomes too!)

Shia's mod cracks me up even more than the original. I think this could be a really, really tough year.

Good luck Wassy on a drama free (less drama anyway) year! Stick to your guns and have fun! I will be here with my popcorn and Mt. Dew watching!

As far as the rules. I think it's great to see how each artist interprets them (Caem's burning chick is great!) and pushes them to the brink of breakage.

Anyway again great job everyone! Have fun! Your abilities and courage to put them out there for everyone to see always amazes me!

The chick needs some persperation showing so we know it's HAWT! :-)

I for one am not happy. Not happy at all! Mostly because I haven't been hired yet by Paragon Studios! Ok entirely because I haven't been hired yet. I know I contribute very little other than my monthly earnings to this game but geez isn't there a job there for me? No I have no qualifying qualities. No I can't draw, design, or write with any coherent thought. But doggonit I'm good at what I do. No I won't tell you what I do, you'll have to live life knowing you missed out on greatness.

Fine fine, Gratz and welcome....

Sorta glad I read this thread. I just started running a bots/dark and noticed the protbots running up to the mobs and then shooting them. Meanwhile my lil Drones are getting their fuse boxes handed to them and no healing insight other than mine...

So glad it's not just me. Not glad it's WAI...

Earlier I was playing on my Everex StepNote xt5000t and all of a sudden my screen had a hazy ring around it then it began to close in towards the center. The entire comp locked up and I had to power it down the hard way.

Usually I have a laptop cooler running as it has always seemed a bit hot above the vid card. Today I didn't have a cooler. So I assumed it had over heated. So I went and got a cooler slapped it on and turned the comp on with fingers crossed. It started luckily with no problems.

So then I got curious and downloaded RivaTuner and CoreTemp to see what was what. Right now my basic core temps are mid to upper 70sC and my GPU temp is sitting at 68C. When I popped the game on and ran for about 5 minutes with my archer GPU went up to around 90C and CPU was lower 80sC with the laptop cooler on.

So my question is, do these numbers sound okay? I'm worried about the short amount of time it took for the GPU to pop up to 90C. This is my work comp so I don't usually play games on it but occasionally I have. For now I will monitor it and not play on it. Easy enough.

Congratulations on the self realizations you have had over the last year or so. Best of luck in your future!

As for a minor, it sounds like you may have one chosen already and just didn't realize it... Writing...

VC_PHYSX: NVIDIA GeForce GT 220 1GB 16X PCI Express [+75] (Major Brand Powered by NVIDIA)

That line interests me. Does that mean he has a seperate card for PHYSX? I thought that didn't exist anymore. I thought PHYSX was now onboard each card and that CoX wasn't affected by that because it was written into/with old code that required the seperate Ageia/PHYSX card. Just something that jumped out to me.

Hey would you mind PMing me where you got that and how much? Don't post it don't want anyone to get in trouble. :-)

Wow, I've contemplated buying a print or two for my son but never realized it was DA that got most of the money not the artist. That changes things dramatically.

Although I know some of the DA artists have their own sites that you could purchase prints from. Maybe that would be the route to go CR.

if you need an extra ref... Try any of these Bully's. Halos optional -

Actually RGB and CMYK are the color management profiles. RGB is typically used for digital media i.e. internet, photoshop etc. CMYK is generally for printed media. So when a graphic designer creates something it's usually in RGB then converts it to CMYK for the printers.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I'm 99% sure that's how it works. Though you CAN designed using CMYK, I'm not sure the advantages of one over the other.

Grats Wassy!

I don't post a bunch but when I do it's here (drinking a Dos XX. lol sorry it popped in my head) and the Comics section (usually to complain about Heroes). You guys and ladies here are awesome though and I hope to one day be in financial situation to afford some cool arts from you all!

I know some of you know my last year was a nightmare. My wife was diagnosed with MS and had to leave work, my son had to enter a school from hell and money and work were horrible. As the year closed my wife is doing better, my son is now in a certified home school program and I had a position change at work. No money news yet but I'm hopeful for the first time in a long time. So my wish for the new year would be that what I consider a positive shift in my life would continue.

Also how can I not wish all your hopes and dreams and needs come true?!?!?!

Very awesome piece and a great story to go along with it! The scene fits very well!

Happy Official Berfday Ennvee!

But just wait til you see you in a bikini top and Witch bottoms with skin!

Wow! Gratz Bubbawheat! Will check it out soon. (weeknights tend to be family nights)

Because I'm making a Foo.....

I thinkhis hands make sense. I also totaly envision that move finishing with the CoTs face completely crushed in. Visions of American History X mental image for some reason. I like it when art like this takes my brain on a mental tour! Great stuff!

LOL are you a Libra too?

And yes I know they aren't guaranteed. Just the mere fact you even offer them is Aces in my book!

Probably for me it's because I'm a libra and have an odd compulsion to balance everything! So I play and make just as many females as male toons. Though I seem to have a much harder time making female costumes I like. Plus for the most part it's the interwebs and no one really knows if I'm male or female from my "avatar".

Ironically I've been hit on more as my male toons than any of my female toons.

Grats StormVyxen and ChristopherRobin! Very cool ideas from you both!

Fenian Girl: I think she should be shopping for lingerie! And behind her is a Skull about to smash her head in with a bat. Fenian has her hand up behind her with her index finger waggling back and forth in that "Naughty naughty" waggle. But her finger is completely electrified ready to fry the Skull. But her face is all non-chalant.

Alpha: He needs a very iconic image of him destroying a Crey building or maybe just the giant Crey industries stone sign.

Caemgen: I like the poses you have so far in your images. I really like the one of him on the building top. BUT something new...hmmm...May be hard to do but how about him standing in the rain exhausted and battered from a fight with a bit of blood and scratches here and there. Maybe with a bunch of different AVs at his feet.

Good luck everyone!
