Hey folks. Just an update with regards to the little "Volunteer to be in a Bayani" commission contest. I know it's not the end of December but the thread fell off the front and I didn't want to bump it.
I decided to end it early because after discussing possible layouts with a bunch of different pros, it would be very tough to both showcase the villains and throw in epic Steranko/Kirby/Kane like action. I didn't want the piece to be just a bunch of people holding poses...personally we could just tape all our pinups together to do that. I didn't want to have villains with their backs turned or somersaulting after being struck by Bayani etc.
Instead, moving forward, I'm going to try to do a series of commissions with at least 1-2 other player characters involved...heroes or villains... that I could see being in a story arc of a Bayani monthly title (if there were ever to be such a thing). Anyways, I did promise I'd get something with Juggertha done first so he's up in my queue and have a wicked good artist lined up for it. I contacted the players who's characters I'm planning on incorporating in future commissions already. If anyone else is still interested feel free to toss me a private message and we'll talk. Same criteria as the contest do apply...I'm looking for characters with great costume designs (not too simple, not overly accessorized) that tie into a well thought-out background history. In the mean time, keep posting your characters around here, everyone. I'm always "scouting".
