The Masked Shrike

This is a little different, but I just have to put in a plug for my sweetie's DA gallery, which he just updated. He's never made it to the forums, so I'll post his update here.

He just got this awesome piece by the fantastic Daggerpoint:
Proud Citizen by Daggerpoint
It's done to match my PinUp Girl by Daggerpoint. And in fact Daggerpoint was cool enough to put the two together and it looks pretty nifty:
Proud and PinUp

I recommend having a look around Proud Citizen's gallery. He has some great stuff (and even a very, um, revealing look at PinUp's 'design', if you get my drift).

Gorgeous! Couldn't axe for more

Hee!

And beautifully done, if I may add.

Again I must wonder: these are rough sketches??? Holy cow.

Crestent does indeed look awesome. They all look awesome.

Love the translucent quality of her outfit.

I love it, love the whole pose and the idea, awesome sketch. A neat gift for your wife! Cool character concepts, too.

(And speaking of day job titles, I feel your pain. I'm incredibly bitter that heroes can't get Pilot. Bah! Here's hoping they'll add some titles to both sides.)

Since I already worship Brandon as a god, this is only further proof of his divinity.

Also, it's a gorgeous and exciting piece of art. Congratulations!

Hot!

Medic! Corpsman!

Holy holiday treats, Batman! Thanks for adding Shrike to the list, Projectionist

The first pieces you've done are gorgeous. How on earth have I missed your work until now? *smacks self on head* Can't wait to see the rest!

More awesomeness!

What a cool idea this is.

Here's my stable, please use any that interest you.
My little stable o' characters

He certainly doesn't look like a nice sweet and creamy Dreamsicle! This is great, Chillkiller. Definitely a scary guy, great pose, great expression, and the frozen foe he's using as a stand is brilliant.

That's a real beauty right there. Just lovely. The color and the texture of her costume, her face, all wonderful.

I adore the wafting feathers.

Dang. This is too hard. Too many great iconic characters around here.

I think I'll have to vote for Soul Train and Nike IX teaming up to take down some bad guys.

Even more gorgeous than the last one.

Very cool, great color and detail, and as always, so expressive!

Nike *is* stunning--but isn't she always? Beautiful piece, Alex!

Beautiful pieces, congratulations on getting them home. Can't wait to see them in color!

Very cute, very fun!

This is brilliant, it just smacks me on the head and says 'superhero'. Congratulations on a beautiful piece of art.

I saw you add me to your watch list in DA just before this hit. In fact, if you check my scraps, you might be surprised.

Holy cow, Chill, what a great surprise! Thank you so much, I really dig it, you are too cool. Well, I guess someone named Chillkiller *would* be cool, but you know what I mean

I look forward to seeing the First Five! There's an embarrassment of riches around here when it comes to nifty character concepts and designs, and this is a great bunch you've chosen. Should make for some neat art.

Since I see Storm Devil in the que now, I'm guessing the abyss came and got you instead of waiting patiently for you to fall in .

Nah, I'm still hanging on, barely. But grats to Storm Devil. I can't wait to see the crop of artwork this sale brings! Vicariously enjoying other people's art is nearly as good as getting some myself.

I really like all the pieces you've been posting recently. The face on this lady is indeed striking, and I am also a sucker for winged girls. Lovely work, as always!

Sadly, no. I just got home a little while ago, and have been trying to connect ever since.

Happily, I have most of tomorrow free so I can check it out then

I'll definitely be stalking...er, watching you, that is. Very generous offer, very cool thing to do! Can't wait to see the results And welcome.
