My question is would this be screenshots or an actual Art thingy?
I remember SWG had several servers with pin up calenders in the day-often screenshots with some airbrushing...
This is an example (please excuse the size-) This was an entry that I got in too late for one year's calendar.
Often, once the toon was accepted, the screenshot would go into photoshop for some 'cleanup' work.
And I am not sure this would work for CoH toons...given the character creation system in this game.
Eg: This is Mellissandria (Paragon City edition)
Global is @Mellissandria
I don't have that much art, but I do write stories and I do collect art on
my DA account

Actually I was joking when I first mentioned it but then I got to thinking... It could be kind of cool to get a bunch of swimsuit arts done
So now I'm kind of keeping an eye out for a good art deal or two I could leap on to get enough commissions spots to do it without totally busting the bank.
I have only one thing to say...
What have I started now???
(watches the swimsuit thing snowball...)

Ok, ok... No swimsuit editions!
Still... Free arts!!
I've got four commissions by Spidey0318 to give away! These aren the full Uber Omi treatment commissions but even the normal, comic pin up/no background Omi arts are better than if I tried to do them myself! o.0 Who want's them??
If you're interested in having one just post up a link to their reference shots. No contest this time. Just me picking four lucky winners. Some preference will go to those who I haven't given art to before, some preference to those whose characters I think look cool. Some preference to *shrug* whatever. Not sure how I'll decide so just post if interested.
The only requirement is that you have a character in Heroes Studios SG or Gallery of Rogues VG. And unlike last time, I'll give this at least 24 hours before closing it so that everyone has a chance to get in if interested...
Enough of this commission stuff! I demand character artz that Caem did himself!

Have you forgotten the Hot Pencil Sketch thread?? In there I did my one and only character commission:
And what happened to Amerikatt?? What happened???
Nobody knows, that's what happened! She's gone... Just gone! And now you want me to do it again???? Evil!
This is yet another reminder that I need to update and expand my gallery of reference shots (yes, I'm lazy, neener neener). Which means I'm going to throw out a couple refs anyway. I may add my DP blaster after I get home from work and take screenies of her. I may not. So there. :P
But for now here are...
Introducing my newest creation... Laser Pointer
Alizarine Flame
Trick Candle
StarVyxen
Huron: "...with Coffee primary / Attitude secondary"
Charnage: "Please. Think of the poor defenseless desks."
"The Babylon Project was our last, best hope for peace. It failed... In the year of the Praetorian War, it became something greater... our last, best hope for victory."
Anyone else up for free arts? Dunno if I want to give all 4 to StormVyxen... She hasn't been THAT nice to me!
You've already been too kind to me, so may I suggest that JKat get one for his collection? He has, like, maybe two gifts in his collection.

Not ambush arting anyone with any of the last 3 I have to give away. Some people don't like their characters being done without permission and I'm too lazy to keep track of who... So if someone wants one they have to ask. *shrug* Plus, errr, reference shots help.
Hey Caemgen. If you still have a spot, here is a link to my character Electrikill:

Thanks!
PS - I meant to reply earlier, but I was sleeping in to prepare for double XP.

Cool... down to 2. 
Answered your PM already buddy... While I would be happy to receive some gift art what I'd really like at this point is some gift colors.
I really liked what Omi did with Bindweed's "catfight" and I'd be interested to see what he could do with one of my designs if that is at all possible.
If that messes up your arrangement with him though don't worry I will find another way to get it done... gift artz works too.
Well, if no one's taken the last spot, I do have a couple Burnt Matchsticks without any art yet. Notably my dominator (see sig), though if that spot has already been filled privately, don't worry about it.
Sorry Bubs, I didn't see your message before I sent in the references and ended up getting two for myself out of the batch. I imagine they'll be another opportunity soon enough though so hopefully we can get you in then...
Though I may have to go back to the contest ideas... At least when I ran the contests I got people wanting the free arts. Maybe people prefer to win than just ask? Or maybe there's just not enough people in 606? Or maybe nobody is reading the boards due to double XP? Or maybe nobody likes me and thus don't want arts from me? lol *shrug*
Considering I've recently gotten three gift arts over the past few months, I was letting someone else have a shot at it..
(two were CoH toons, the third was my Jedi from SWG).

Sent you a PM on this but yeah it's probably a combination of stuff... if it was in it's own thread with "contest" in the title it usually has a line out the door but posted in this thread I'm thinking many missed it. Also people (not all) probably like the idea of earning/winning something over just a free giveaway.|

Also the Double XP and the fact that Dual Pistols are available (for those who pre-puchased) as a new powerset so yeah I'd say go back to contests and pick a time not during a major release or Double XP... or both.

and now David Nakayama has been unseen and unheard from in weeks... what has your cursed pencil wrought upon DN and Amerikatt???
Probably banished katt to some untold hell dimension that... oh wait she's back!
Yeah it was probably more like a vacation than a hell dimension... so umm when will we see more Caemgen artz?
P.S. Now that I think of it you drew Cashoo too... anyone seen her in a while? >o.0<
I think it's a combination of you being so generous that you've already hit up most everyone interested in this thread with a freebie - and those same people are not over art-greedy, I was even reluctant to post since I'd gotten two pieces from you already. Also this particular thread isn't as popular as it used to be (I think things would have been quite different if you made a new thread that said "Free art here!")
And thanks LJ! Awesome sketch!
No real worries on the sluggish response, just meant I actually got some arts from the deal as well as giving those who were long overdue substitute arts
And actually, I wasn't looking for an overflowing response anyway. I am sure I'll eventually do a contest open to all again, this time I kind of wanted the offer hidden so the regulars would get them...
And yeah CR, the DN actually came out halfway decent but that's why I said character instead of portrait But yeah, had forgotten I did Cash... My arts really do seem to have a way of making people take extended leaves... o.0
With great power comes great responsibility... With meager power comes, errr, the chance to banish thy enemies??? Mwuahahahaha!
Bayaniiiii, we know you are doing the
