Figured I would get things started here as a former member of the CoH art forum. This will be the place where you can post art of your characters.

"In the end there can be only one" The Highlander
Hey Gideon if you're the same one this is mysterious-flame/The Bug here are some of my heroes and villains.
I DIDN'T DRAW ANY OF THIS STUFF ALL COMMISSIONS. The Bug http://mysterious-flame.deviantart.com/art/The-Bug-Redesign-3-367419927 his powers in all honesty I haven't complety got a power set a nice mix of batman and Spider-Man and his own of course. His family owns a mental institution. Won't go to much into detail. This is the bugs Exo suite not the final design http://mysterious-flame.deviantart.com/art/The-Bug-Redesign-2-328861564 the final will be more mech. He'd use this suite in hard situations.
This is Doctor Cutta and his creation
http://mysterious-flame.deviantart.com/art/Dr-Cutter-and-The-Creation-333782011 The dr works for the bugs family it's safe to say he is secretly crazy.... The creations jacket are made out of faces of there victims. There is more indepth story to them both but I'll hold off.
This is the pumpkin patch http://mysterious-flame.deviantart.com/art/Welcome-to-the-Pumpkin-Patch-332303031i really actually don't have much of a story for them even though they are some of my oldest villains. Sorry for links I don't remember how to actually post images lol

[color=#c95f02][b][size=14][font=Palatino Linotype]@ GFN: A couple people in the thread already said they didn't make their own artz. You could have a friend make you some character artz or commission someone. There is no shortage of artists willing to take your money on DA if you look through the CoH group. Also many on this list (who helped with my City of X Send Off {coXso} event) knew the CC very well and still take commissions, just look through their journals for pricing info.[/color][/b][/size][/font]
[color=#c95f02][b][size=14][font=Palatino Linotype]
Also while there is no telling if the artz forums here will be anything like they were on CoH forums (though I am seeing some familiar names already) I know the community of artists that made the 606 our home were a generous bunch. Many of us held contests with character artz as prizes or had DaD (Drawing a Day) challenges where people could submit refs of their heroes and the artists would practice by drawing them. Also regular forumites getting surprised on their birthdays with multiple gift artz was not uncommon (I did more than 50 of those myself).[/color][/b][/size][/font]
[color=#c95f02][b][size=14][font=Palatino Linotype]
So just be active, keep your eyes peeled and there should be opportunities to get art of your character done.
Cheers![/color][/b][/size][/font]

Aye CR,
I have even tapped Vex as a co-founder for moderating. I plan to make the CoT DA page everything the CoH one was and more.
I firmly believe the community and overall generous nature it harbored is what made CoH such a great game, not the actual game itself (which was fun but more like the spoon not the actual meal)
i plan on setting up a commission corner inside the CoT page, contests with rewards, themed galleries, collecting stories, screen shots of locations for reference... and many things I have yet to think about.

Give me references! Next week I'm going to start a 30-day arty challenge, doing one sketch a day to better my work. Give myself more things to practice on than just my own characters. so, in the spirit of that, anyone who wants to toss me character references, descriptions and such feel free to do so! You can look over my other stuff at kestralwolfe.deviantart.com . All sketches will be scanned and sent to the character's owner, and with permission, I'll post them in my own art thread just for that 30-day challenge =)

One of the things I always loved was creating fun toons based on puns... so ... figured one of the first things I'd like to play with in the new game is a character made up entirely of air/storm powers. Call him Cloud Atlas. :) Started sketching him out... got him colored and started on the shading but too tired to finish tonight...

Before I left CoH I had a piece of artwork made that features Crystal Owl and Little Unicorn, from the old MMOART site.
The original sits on the wall of this room.
CR! Woohoo!
(insert pithy comment here)
Most of my CoH character commissions (I can draw a breath, but that's about it) are still in DA: http://dark-ether.deviantart.com/
All credit for them goes to the artists except for the money part to bribe them to work with me - that was my part :P
(insert pithy comment here)
Little_Unicorn: That picture of you and Crystal Owl is amazing!
*pins the picture to her bulletin board in the Katt-Kave*

I've got a few pieces I've drawn of my Characters, but I'm nowhere near as good as ya'll. I'll need to scan in a few of them soon to get them used as references for a group shot I want to commission later on. The rest of my characters I've had comissioned, cosplayed, or will have to describe to whichever artist picks up the group shot.

CoX was an awesome community (and still is!), a really great (arguably the best) Super Hero game MMO, and was also a huge inspiration for creativity. The insane level of customization options we had in CoX left me constantly creating new characters from random ideas I might have, but my first and always my favorite is Kai Steel my Tanker. I spent countless hours offline even after leaving CoX drawing her and continuing her story. Here are just a few random pictures I did:

I had a tanker named SteinJack who was all metal skin with a minimal black and white outfit (the only color on him was his red lensed shades). Never did try and draw him though.
Sidenote: One of the great things about fanart is you get to make proportions not possible in the CC (Costume Creator).
Here's hoping we get to make thicker more powerful looking women like this in the AB (avatar builder I think it's being called?).

It might be a bit easier on the cosplay to just list up my dA (which I rarely log onto with school underway). it's siwyenbast.deviantart.com I have more art and cosplay there as well (including Psycat).

Oh I hope so! I can't wait to find out, though. I have a character (Riot Baby) that I never made in CoX because I couldn't get those beefy proportions I wanted. :3

@ChristopherRobin: Jeff and Phil Moy. Twin brothers who are both professional comic book artists. They drew Legion of Superheroes for several years.
Their sites, although I don't know how much they update:

[color=#c95f02][b][size=14][font=Palatino Linotype] Twins? Both comic book artists? That's so cool.
I was going to say the styles are very similar but yet I see differences in the strokes.
How did you get both to do your heroine? Were they in Artist Alley at a con or something?

The Moys have been regulars at Anime Central's artist alley in Chicago for years. Whenever I went, I made it a point to get a commission from each. They're really nice guys to hang out and chat with, too.
I love all this art that people are sharing!
Siwyenbast: I like how you gave us more detail of Lapis's jewelry. I also like Ibet's expression in the pencil drawing above "Emegence" and then The Herald's expression in "Emergence" proper.
Kai Steel: Absolutely gorgeous work! I really like the different hair styles.
Dark Ether: *headbonks* Great to see another CoH vet ... um ... ( mean ... um ... veteran!
Mendicant: Nice commissions!
CR: I love the "Neko's Secret" on that bag. If we say her name 3 times, do you think that Sapphy will show up?
mikenovember: Your character is coming along nicely!

This thread is full of Awesome Sauce! :D
Thanks! You are so right; the very first time I did a sketch of her I facepalmed when i realized I had no idea how to draw or color metallics. Perseverance lol!
Yes, yes, yes - a thousand times yes! I wanted a heroine who was reluctantly forced into the role and wasn't the generic female super heroine body type. Just because you have special abilities doesn't make you Ms. Athleticism by default!
Thank you! Hairstyles are something I have trouble with so I try to work on different types to get some practice. ^_^
I am loving seeing all the artwork! Character art is always great, and it's something personal that you feel proud of, or at least I like to think we all feel that way - whether our hands drew/created the art or not, our imaginations created the characters that inspire it all. Here's to hoping we get that same inspiration from CoT's character creator! :)
Well, it was a character design I drew years ago for a RP I was on in second life (and I was going to get it commissioned too, but finances kept me from it on there). It's also the reason why I really want a plethora of circlet charms for CoT. The Herald and Rai have an interesting working dynamic, which was shown in the BESM d20 game that drawing was based off of. Rai having the mirror of Nebt-het does not equal finding the shards of the Wosyienpu, it equals going to her favorite anime worlds so she can fangirl over her fave bishies. If they happen to have a shard, then it's a lucky break. :D
I've also noticed my drawings/edits to my last post aren't showing up on my laptop. I did use bbcode and copied the links from photobucket. Guess I'll have to go in and see if they're misbehaving.
Writer catwoman at play...
I just saw your original concept here - and I'd already started on playing around with what you had in the fan forum as concept ideas of the tank, gears and a kind of giant/robot/transformerish look. I've loved that name you had and started playing with the concept and came up with something completely different.

I'll take a crack at this trying my hand with the original concept, keep in mind... I am not an artist - nor do I play one on tv. I just love to have fun. Hope you don't mind... but the name is just too much fun not to do stuff with.

She is aware. I sent out notices to her and about 40 other people I knew from the CoH forums to keep them in the loop. I told her there was free artz happening over here already without her... trap set we'll see if she takes the bait.

[color=#c95f02][b][size=14][font=Palatino Linotype]@ Mike November Nice work on the rusted robot concept of Steamtank. A walking (car crushing) add for Rustoleum if ever there was one. :D
Also meant to say I liked Cloud Atlas as he reminds me of the "Body Type" selection screen in the CC.
I always thought it would be cool to play a character with lightning running inside him or at least have a pet like that for a possible future Storm Controller.

As far as Arch goes... I spent a wee bit of time looking up various mech/robot things that start to give the feel of what I hope to create in game for him. I totally changed his origin story to take out the templar look and bring him a step closer to what he was in CoH.
This captures the proportions his arm to chest should have

One of the things I'd like to see is come up with some animated costume choice options. I know on CO they have a "cosmic" skin that's all stars. I think it's possible to have some limited animates to the costumes so, having that gives the appearance of lightning, fluids, atmospherics. Which this is different from an aura in that it's the actual skin.
I'm going to play with the UDK, Maya, Zbrush and see what's possible. Most likely this may have some drawbacks with performance so it will need to be carefully done. But if it's feasible I'll definitly push for it to dev.
Have been playing around with Sai alot lately and finally learned how to do the weighted lines (what you get for using the pen tool in PS). Here is the outcome.

Very nice Tidalwave! :)
It's beautifully done, Tidalwave! I think those lines came out perfectly!
Artists assemble! *ahem*
I'd like to get some character art done and thought there's no better people to ask for recommendations of artists who take commissions than other artists. The drawing(s) in question are of powered armor / exosuit in a relatively traditional comic book style. For a non-digital format I'd prefer an artist in or near Europe, lest shipping becomes a concern.

[color=#c95f02][b][size=14][font=Palatino Linotype]Hey Fez, you might want to specify what medium. I am guessing you mean traditional as you mention shipping?
I don't know that many EU artists off hand and most of them are digital artists.[/color][/b][/size][/font]
[color=#c95f02][b][size=14][font=Palatino Linotype]FYI you could get something digital done anywhere in the world and have a site (like DA, FAA, Zazzle or
whatever their EU counterparts might be) print it on whatever you want (canvas,
posterboard, mousepad etc) and ship it to you that way.[/color][/b][/size][/font]
[color=#c95f02][b][size=14][font=Palatino Linotype]
I would recommend any on this list, http://fav.me/d5hupfx
they all played City of X games and know the costume creator.[/color][/b][/size][/font]
[color=#c95f02][b][size=14][font=Palatino Linotype]
Also you could look through the DA galleries of the big collectors (Thors Assassin, Caemgen etc) and find hundreds of artists to choose from and then jump right to their journal, find their location, see if they are open for commissions and what their rates are. You also will get a good idea of what their best areas are as armor/mech is not everyone's strong suit.

I did mean artists in the European area for traditional mediums, yes. As you said, shipping is not a concern for digital art[color=red]*[/color].
Thanks for the link and the suggested galleries. Those look like superlative places to start. I've been poking at DeviantArt a bit but my DA-fu is weak.

Hey Kaos how are you?. You still playing TSW? Nice to see people from the source and old CoH forums coming here I'm here waiting for Moonknight, CB, Veikira, Cyphre, Tremor and the others to come here as well

I found out about the City of Titans Kickstarter because of Tremor's post on Facebook. I've been stoked about CoT ever since then. :D
That logo you have is very familiar. I seen it somewhere before.

Something I was playing with as a concept for a new character. Was never much on blades or ninja types but the name ... was just too much fun. :D

To tie this thread in to another, this art, and the people playing the game, are what I've missed most. Really good to see this stuff. I've even dusted off a few of my Deviant Art pics recently - hadn't checked them out in a good while until just recently.
(insert pithy comment here)
so what you are saying is the Noir Ninja (yes a very amusing name) and the steamtank pictures should be posted on the CoT DA page....
yeah thats what you are saying and should do ;)

Great to see you here. Was hoping to see CB, in this thread and game.
It's Watchfire. We were in CoX and CO (though we were very disappointed in CO).
We're a supers-themed group so now we have this to salivate over... :)

Yeah, it's a CB!
(insert pithy comment here)
Yeah, Watchfire is a great group. They encouraged me to just 'freeform' a new character and I ended up with a rather deep backstory, which led, in turn to the creation of a new character in CoH. I ended up using the Peacebringer AT, in all-human form, to create my super-powered college professor, Starlight Saint.
