Ooooh! Very cool! That is so awesome! Grats to those guys/gals!

Yes a short link. So how did you do that?

Yeah I was amazed when Naz sent me that link. I never expected such a large image but it works great because it's now my desktop lol.

Bully the Clown that is! This is my sketch from Nazghul for winning one of his Color Palette Costume Contests and I loved it and thought I'd share:




Also I used my horrible Photoshop skills and colored it: Bully the Clown in Color

I wanted a watercolor effect but I haven't played around enough to really get what I wanted. Anyway enjoy!

Welcome back to the boards everyone! I've been checking the site like a fiend all week! Now make some cool art for me to see!

Okay! I finally got my computer back so I could load up CoH again! (Two hard drive deaths in less than two weeks, I swear it's gremlins...) I am *so* sorry it's taken so long to get to this, so I decided to try two concepts.

I was paired up with Power Stream who selected his cool-looking character Propellant. I was really inspired by the second costume there, though they are both very nifty. Power Stream did a great job on the Shrike, and I hope this is at least interesting. We had no theme so I just went on my own whims.

Chrysopoeia aka Lady Michelle Jette, was a lady-in-waiting to Elizabeth I. Athletic and outgoing, she was known as an enthusiastic huntress and falconer, and was much admired by other members of the court. It was to Dr. John Dee that she gave her own attention, however. She became fascinated by his studies in alchemy and Hermetic philosophy, and before long, had become his student. She had a natural talent for understanding the esoteric disciplines, and it seemed that she might surpass her mentor in the search for the Philosopher's Stone and the Elixir of Life.

In fact, she had been so deeply engrossed in her experiments that the Queen chided her for her bookishness and her unhealthy complexion, strongly suggesting that Lady Michelle would do well to get some fresh air. A ride into the country nearly proved disastrous when Michelle was caught in a freak blizzard. Luckily her entourage recovered her and transported her back to court, where she was nursed back to health. All marveled at her swift recovery...and they marveled more still when her new abilities manifested, nearly scorching the hair off Dr. Dee himself. He concluded that her alchemical mixtures must have transmuted her body into something more pure and perfect.

When Lady Michelle awoke, she was confronted by a most insistent Lord Walsingham. At the Queen's behest, he persuaded Michelle to become England's secret weapon against her enemies. Secretly schooled in the art of swordplay, and with her new fiery gift at her fingertips, Michelle was immersed in a life of peril and adventure at the Queen's command.

Yet as all around her aged and died, Michelle had to admit to herself that her experiments must have indeed yielded the Elixir of Life, for she herself never aged. So began years of subterfuge as she created new identities and new lives over the years, moving around the world to conceal her nature. Now, in Paragon city, she fights evil and injustice while searching for the key to her immortality.

And, just because I had to:

PropellAnt was known as Nigella, warrior in the service of Queen Molesta of Nest Invicta, greatest nest of all Tribe Solenopsidini, the feared Fire Ant civilization far beneath the Earth's surface. None of their enemies could stand against them--that is, until Pseudacton, the Decapitator, came among them. Nest Invicta was wiped out, but Nigella somehow survived. After pushing her way out from beneath a mound of the dead, she found her Queen, who lay dying. Before she expired, Molesta issued one last order: Nigella must track down Pseudacton and destroy him.

Armed with her natural fire powers, Nigella hunted the Decapitator to a nest of humans called Paragon City. Though their ways are strange, she has at least found a place among their society as a 'hero' as she continues to pursue her prey.

Wow I love this story SO much I think I'm going to change to this permanently! I love the idea of each costume being a different time period to coincide with her not aging. Thank you so much!

Now I think YOU are psychic. I made a toon a long time ago named Rad E. Ant that looked almost identical to PropellAnt except it was male. That is so awesome! Well worth the wait!

Whatcho talkin bout Willis?

I know TheMaskedShrike said she was having compy issues.

Just want to say that you guys and gals in the SaFA forum remind me daily why I continue to play this game. As well as remind me that there are people out there that are just down right decent. It's good to know that you folks are also the folks my son and myself play with in game on a daily basis.

I don't have any talents to pay forward so I extend a Big Ol' Texas HUG to everyone! And that is good enough for me!

I really like the colors in this one. It also has a very cool painted/airbrushed feel. Awesome job!

Very cool collection. Someone has a $9 special huh? Man I gotta get some arts! I just have 2 now both freebies... I am definitely jealous.

That is very very cool LJ. I like the Taste the Rainbow version! Awesome job as usual!

I love it! That is totally cool of you to do that! Thanks!

Happy Berfday!

So glad you liked it. But now I see I misspelled her name. Oh well, guess I can't get modsmacked with a misspelled name of a famous person... right? right? really? ruh roh Raggy!

Well then let me be the first (okay second post but you know what I mean) to sign up.

Here is Bully the Clown. Please feel free to modify him in a way to make him more clown like or even more bovinesque. . Obviously I'm limited with the costume generator. My personal favorite costume is the fourth costume (one with halo - but I'd rather NOT have the halo) but with more of a clown face.

Okay my worst fear happened. TheMaskedShrike asked me to change.... The Masked Shrike!!! I think that is one of the best and most thought out toons I've seen. So I know I cannot improve on it so I decided to make her WWII counter part.

Basically I based her on this young lady, and this internet picture of a Nazi Pilot's uniform.

Bio - Hanna Reitsch was always fascinated with flying. From an early age she studied anything that flew - birds, bugs, hot air balloons etc. She promised herself that one day she would fly.
When Hitler became leader of the Nazi Party in 1921 Hanna knew this was her chance. She persuaded her way into the Nazi military and became the first female Nazi pilot. She also joined in a secret operations known as the 5th Column. As a member of this clandestine group, Hanna was submitted to many experiments which, so she was told, would make her a better pilot...the best pilot.

In a particularly nasty dog fight in 1940 Hanna was shot down. Her plane careened towards the Earth. Hanna refused to die, refused that she had been bested in battle, refused to allow the Allies to win that easily. Hanna jumped from the plane knowing she had no parachute. To her amazement she remained floating in the air.
Her amazement turned to anger and she hurled herself after the Ally scum that had just shot her down. As she neared the plane she felt invincible and shot through the entire plane as if it were made of paper. From that day on she became known to all Allied pilots as The Masked Shreitsch.

Hope I did The Masked Shrike some justice.

Okay I'll give it a try. Not sure if I like the gold. I tend to make my villians much darker.... But here is the Butcher . His hands are covered in blood from all the innocents he's ripped apart and his boots are covered with blood from all the little puppies he's trampled... (What?!?! He's a bad guy!!!)

Here's more what I'd have gone for color wise -

Anyway hope you enjoy! Dark Butcher.

Thanks! I should have started hanging out in the SaFA forum a long time ago. Everyone is so nice and boosts my ego!

I wouldn't mind a theme as long as it was pretty generic. For instance, "Opposites" - this could be opposite gender, origin, sex, race etc. It's very open to the new designer to choose but is still a theme per se.

I think limiting it to something like Manga or something that specific, may lead many of us to the same costume pieces. I mean we do only have a limited number even though the combinations of those seem pretty limitless.

But, I'm down either way, just means I may have to think outside of MY box a little more.

Can you tell I'm a Libra and try to walk that line of being on everyone's side?

PowerStream was my first toon and my main forever he was nrg/nrg blaster. BUT my most well known toon on Pinnacle is Bully the Clown....fire/ss tank. On Justice has been Boozy - my pirate db/wp brute.

Count me in. This sounds fun.

Pyrokinesis must be a popular experiment for the CCCP... Malishka Kruskev aka Malishkatov Cocktail a fire/kin. (She didn't have fire imps yet otherwise they'd be out)

I'll throw my very first scrapper in the mix - Justiqua.
