One simple rule of thumb is that the pubis is roughly the halfway point of the entire figure. Some people with have shorter/longer legs or torso, but it won't be a huge deviation from the norm. This is also just about the area where the bend line between the torso and legs are.

Heh, don't use black on black

Sure you could! It might just be creepy and possibly illegal in some areas.

There are a couple areas in the piece that immediately jumped out on me that you might want to work on.

Feral Kitty's legs crossed the line from "stylistically exaggerated" to incorrect a bit. Her torso is more or less in proportion to itself, but the legs are definitely not in proportion to the torso. They're much too long/large. I counted her out to about 7.5-8 heads, and her legs are 4.5-5 of that. Its an easy mistake to make.

The second item is her tail. It seems like its going back from her, but that shouldn't be the case since she's against a wall. If its going alongside the wall, a helpful change to convey that would be to have some of it overlapping itself, so we can see which parts are coming forward in space and in what direction.

Keep working at it!

Pfffffffffffffffffft! I love the swishy new walk.

That's so freaking cute that I think I ovulated.

Absolute best of luck with your parents. The older I get, the more insane it seems to me why the heck anyone cares what other people do in their bedrooms. I hope you find a nice guy, too =)

For me, I'm hoping my appeal for financial aid for college goes through. Again. Since I had two semesters where I had to withdraw from classes (one when my mother died and the other when I developed a disease that left me with partial blindness), until I graduate, I'll have to appeal to be allowed to take Federal student loans and aid every semester.... It's like never being able to get over hurdles, and they were things I had no control over. I want to choke them every time I have to give them my mother's death certificate to prove she died when I said she did.

Girls are hotter.

I'd go with the capital I trick.

I have fallen deeply in love with her face.

You may have to set aside trivial things like eating, sleeping, and bathroom time to keep up, Juggy!

Also, the main post has now been edited to include a sample piece by The Foo and a link to the mirror of the competition on my website.

You so crazy!

How big is this mystical external drive (not to derail my own thread or anything)?

I personally would still like to keep in the eliminations, because it feels like more of a competition if the field slowly narrows. But I do see what you mean about someone missing one deadline and dropping.

I'll have to think on it (and take suggestions), but maybe we can in the summer have a way to win your way back into the fray? You know... like how people can get back in The Biggest Loser or something.

Ugh, dental work is stupid expensive. And its just plain silly that its not covered under medical insurance, since bad dental problems can quickly become medical problems.

But um... I'm glad you're frivilously spending money on my scribbling!!

I've never done anything realistic in my entire life.

Awwww, thanks Pyro! Unfortunately, I've been whipping Frost into making a page on my site for the competition, and he's about to finish up today. He made up some custom graphics for it, and his poor little heart might explode if I asked for it all to be done over again ^.^;;

ZOMG, I mother-loving ADORE Xanth!!!!!

Yep, we can figure something out. We'll see how many people we still have in the game in the last few months, because that'll be a big factor in that.

LET THE GAMES BEGIN

*lights something or someone nearby on fire*

Since this is the beginning of a friendly competition, where participants are battling it out for glory and fame, rather than money and women, I thought the most fitting theme for January would be The Olympics!

This is why I used the random person/object for a torch. And maybe you'll get some women if you get glory and fame, too.

So what could encompass this theme? Will heroes be competing in the games, or will they be cheering/volunteering? Will they be rooting for America since they're in Paragon, or might they support their countries of origin? Are villains going to sabotage the games, or will even THEY want to compete? Would they cheat? Would the supers of Paragon and The Rogue Isles maybe have their own Olympics with their own versions of the games (maybe a Hellion in place of a discus)? There's a LOT of different ways you can take this theme and run with it.

All types of art are acceptable for this month's theme. Are you more of a graphic designer? Throw in a banner, maybe an ad for the games that would be found around the city, or perhaps a mock website. Don't feel left out just because your area of expertise isn't in the fun character pin-ups! Just remember to bring your creative A-game, because the competition will be tight!

Our 2009 FArt Champion has graciously provided a sample image!



THE RULES

1. The Hot Chicks Rule- All entries must include a hot chick. She might be way off in the background, but she's gotta be there somehow, somewhere. Wassy wants to see some hot chicks!!!!!!

2. Use City of Heroes/Villains Characters- This is, afterall, a CoX Fan Art competition, so I expect you guys to keep that in mind. If there's nothing relating to City of Heroes/Villains in your entry, you will be disqualified.

3. Keep It PG-13- All entries this month must be postable to these boards without a 2 click. Don't worry, perverts... R-Rated month is in the works and I'll be using my website to showcase the awesome bewbage, with some auto 2-clicking right in the programming.

4. Deadlines- All entries MUST be submitted by Friday, January 22nd by Midnight Eastern US time. Anyone participating who DOES NOT have an active account on these boards may email their submission to me at wassy@wassyart.com or note me via dA at lilwassu. I will take Saturday, January 23rd (which is also my birthday, so just remember who loves you) to screen all entries for adherence to the theme and rules. Voting will begin on Sunday, January 24th, held here on the CoH boards. The pieces that I put up for a vote have been personally verified by me, so if you disagree with their qualifications, please give me the lashings rather than the artists.

Other Items of Note
We won't be having an elimination this month. The winner of the voting will have immunity for NEXT month's battle, which will have an elimination. To start off January, we pretty much just want to get a head count and see who's gonna be in this thing. If you do submit, try to keep in mind this is year-long and we want it going strong!

Let me know if there are any questions, and if I think of anything I forgot to add in this post I'll uh... add it.

Good luck, and more importantly, HAVE FUN!!!!

*confetti*

You can also now check the action via my website!

I think Frost did a very nice job whipping that up =)

Thanks guys ^.^

My 3 little slots for the sale are all spoken for, so thanks for that, too!
