  1. Yaaaay figured out what was wrong with the scanner!!!

    Here's a better scan of the Forum Aquarium

    I'll try to edit the link in the above list too.
  2. *nods at DJ's post* Don't be shy! PM!

    Or you could post a "Hey draw me please!" thread. Those meet with varying degrees of success.

    But really I just posted so I could tell you how insanely cute I thought your name was.

    Wait a minute...who is that fighting in the bottom left corner?!

    [/ QUOTE ]

    It's a heated catfish-fight between an elusive Tigerfish and a Feral Katfish

    Headless, I left out a lot of people so I'll probably be doing another one soon I take the bar in two weeks so fishies will pretty much be all I have the time or the stamina for It's incredibly calming, and makes for a great study break!!
  4. OOOOOOo really good!!!

    I'm going to have to agree with Kat about the booty though. But I think it could be taken care of easily by just rounding out that left (our left) cheek and maybe adding a little more substance to the right side.

    Great pose!! You have more courage than I my friend
  5. AWWWW!!! That's such a cute Rowr!!! I can't wait to see the finished product!!!! The flower is sooooooo cute!

    Masking ftw!
  6. I made a real mess of my first sketchdump. I got delete-happy with photobucket and screwed up my links and I've distributed piccies willy-nilly among other threads too (I think some might be living on Virtue). So here is my new home for when I do that thing I do I'll do my best to make everything live here.

    My stuffs (chronological order)

    DragonBerry
    Penumbra Edge
    Radey Ayte
    Cruse
    Pep Rally
    Thor's Assassin
    Atomic Knight
    Fallen Skye
    Dragon Berry
    Windfallen
    The Forum Aquarium! (Aka "What I do when I'm bored")

    My little Aquarium ended up scanning funny I'm going to try to rescan later when I'm not so tired.

    Why hasn't anyone mentioned Graver???

    WHY?

    I love Graver's stuff. I totally think of oldschool Sandman comics. That awesome mix of people like Craig Russell and Jill Thompson... Mmmm..

    [/ QUOTE ]

    AWwwww! <3 Juggertha and I both mentioned him I think... He reeeeeally reminds me of those "Scary Stories to Read in the Dark" books.

    But I forgot to mention YOU! I looooove your faces, they're so wonderfully angular and expressive They remind me of a cartoon but I just can't remember which one.....
  8. Okay, there should be a key on your keyboard that says "print screen" or "prt sc". When you see something you want to take a screen shot of, hit it. If you are in the game it will usually save it to a folder in your CoH directory (C drive --> program files --> City of Heroes).

    If you are in the log-in screen (or Icon) you hit the print screen button, then open up whatever paint program you use (go to "all programs" then "Accessories" and there should be a program called "Paint"). Then either hit control+v or go to "edit" then "paste" and it should drop your screen shot into paint. Then save that sucker.

    Hope that was clearer
  9. You hit "print screen" just like a regular screenshot, but since it's in the login screen it doesn't go to your screenshot folder. You have to open a paint program and copy it into there and then save it

    It's a pain in the butt, I know.

    Another artist that I really like that hasn't been mentioned is Scarf_Girl. Her chibis and non-chibis have this cool, unique, kinda animation style thats very clean.

    And lets not forget Atomic Knight. He can do a whole bunch of styles, but his own kicks the most [censored].

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Awwww Peppy beat me to it!!!

    Scarf_Girl has a really unique whimsical style with an incredible amount of detail in it. AK's is heavy and pulpy and really packs a wallop!

    Of COURSE Graver's my fave

    ....He pays me to say that every once in a while >_>

    Glad you like... and hey, I don't mind you not being satisfied with Abby ... and I love the direction your going. The 5min drawing to get her proportions down is spot on! Not only are ya good... but if that's only 5 min of work, yer freakin' amazing... and fast... damn...

    [/ QUOTE ]

    You have to keep in mind, not everyone draws with a piece of mechanical pencil lead held in tweezers while looking through a magnifying glass at it like you do you freak.

    You know I'm going to beat you up now for getting three awesome drawings

    AK, you should harrangue him for another
  13. Amidst a break from butts and waiting for supplies for Plas, the inspiration bug bit me (and I liked it )

    I know more worthy artists than I have tackled her, but she's just soooo cuuuuute (plus, I figured I owed her for all the short jokes )

    So here's everyone's favorite chibi super-villain alien princess!

    Fallen Skye

    Thanks for the portrait, Starchasm! And here's yours!
    Radey Ayte

    Notes: I had some time trying to find the right look. I don't like to just pencil a generic pose and slap on a costume. I want the pic to show what the hero/villain is about. I think I finally got it, when from her stories and profile, she's a very pissy character (lol). So, I had to heap on loads of attitude. She's seemingly always angry. Drew her at about age 17 (she's in the Teen Squadron), but I could make her younger looking if need be.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    EEEEEEE!!!!! That's so cool!!!

    And yeah....she's pretty angry....all the time.

    *huggles art* Yay!
  15. Here ya go! One cute little radioactive bunny robot tanker!!!

    Atomic Knight

    I haven't posted in this thread with every new pic, but I was particularly proud of this one, so...

  20. OOoh OOOO!! Me! Mememememe! PLEEEEASE?? I know I'm nowhere NEAR as good as you are, but I'll do my best! (in color even! )

    Radey Ayte is a misunderstood tough girl who was put in a maximun security juvenile facility when her parents died in a massive explosion. She is now on a work release program heroing for the city and has joined the Teen Squadron.

    Here is a link to her squadron app and a story. (Hey, you said you wanted info! )

    Here are some screenies:

    Icon Front
    Icon Back

    Artsy moon
    Angel

    (Sorry, I just don't take a lot of screenies XD)

    Pep art trade?

    He he! I couldn't resist!!! Pep is SOOO CUTE!!!!

    Plus, your sketches kick [censored] and I needed a guinea pig for a new technique. (Sorry for the crappy scan, I can't get my black lines to look solid to save my life )

    Pep Rally!

    (I know she's very pink but in my mind all I saw were those slicky shorts the cheerleaders always wore at practice )
  22. Great guide!!! *thumbsup*

    Something I'd add that I notice in Broadcast a lot:

    If you are looking for a team, generally broadcasting "lft" won't be sufficient. The accepted short form is usually "Level # <powerset>/<powerset> <AT>" But feel free to experiment. The best one I've seen has been "Level 22 grav/rad controller Looking for team. I enjoy long walks on the beach and kittens."

    You are a total stranger and (despite the game premise) none of us are magical or psychic. And most want to at least know if you'll fit in the group.
