Screenshot Contest

Joe Sixpack about to get a faceful of pumpkin.

The pie's almost done.

Tiffany Blackheart, martial artist (top), my fire/rad troller Indigo Rose (Dark Candy before I moved her from Freedom to Virtue) with cool color effect (middle) and the Eden Trail with my Peacebringer Holy Bell(bottom).  Eden Trial was always one of the most beautiful things in the game, visually anyway.

LOL...at first look, I thought Tiffany was giving someone the 'single digit salute'...that is an awesome pic.

I would have paid to have that emote and I'm pretty sure I would have tied it to my tanker's taunt.

Who drew that? I think I've seen that kinda style somewhere else.

I found some things of interest in a search for the source.

One is a real product! http://www.superblanky.com/

Another is the archived page for the contest that I assume the image is from: http://web.archive.org/web/20121003113202/http://na.cityofheroes.com/en/news/news_archive/the_city_of_heroes_billboard_c.php (the links are not archived, and go to the Sunset page or something). Googling the winning artist's name and City of Heroes leads us to: http://mikemetcalfdraws.com/about/index.php A Florida based artist, which checks out with the info on that archived page.

The other is a CoH SG website, which has the image at a nice resolution, since the artist's site does not. There are no guarantees that they used it with permission, so I am showing it for the purposes of letting you see the image by itself, not for downloading: http://www.guildportal.com/Guild.aspx?GuildID=430704&TabID=3672607&TopicID=10070668&ForumID=2071667

Edit: Mike Metcalf has Jack in Irons on his commission page as an example of using an in-game screenshot to make comics from, so it's a pretty sure bet the he's the one behind it: http://customfanart.com/pricing.htm#navtop

Edit 2: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lions,_Tigers_and_Bears seems to be something reasonably well known that he works on.

That looks almost like one of the numbers I would sell things for - I would always make my sell numbers palindromes.


Oh, and... nice sale.
