CoX Artwork

[Bliz]

Let's be honest; just about anyone is tiny compared to BABs.

Not that that's a bad thing.

Here's my character Aeka. I find this art perfect, the artist listened not only to my descriptions but also paid attention to the reference pics. I love this. :D

[TimtheEnchanter]

Some commissions of my homage character: Rainbow Bryte. This toon was really special to me, and through RPing her naive, innocent outlook on life, helped me get through some really hard times.

In case anyone is wondering, no, I didn't request an upskirt shot.  :P Regardless, RockDeadman picked the right color for her bikini piece.

The original piece I asked for, with both her homage costume AND the one I designed after the original character got hit with the Generic hammer.

A lot of great art here.  I know I said this elsewhere, but I'm so glad this community is pumping out art even after the closure.

[Perfidus]

Heck, before the announcement I had maybe.. one art that I'd actually paid for? Since the announcement, like... thirty. >.> But yes I concur.

Also, hello! I remember you from the original forums. I remember your character and all the arts you had for her too. You should post a few of your favorites here. :)

I've got quite a few commissioned works of my characters.  Most of them can be found on my DeviantArt page.

First off, though, I'd like to share this one:

Courtesy of the Real World Hero charity auction and the artist @Treees.  Since I won it for charity and it was nearing the holidays I wanted to have my sweetest character Snow Panther giving a gift to a young child.  I love how it turned out.

Other awesome art pieces:

Light of the Phoenix by Wolvtrune

The Palladium Sentry 2 year anniversary edition mock comic cover by Taclobanon

Snow Panther by artauxeo  (Got this commissioned when the Palladium Sentry closed down after more than 3 years.  Snow Panther was the second longest running member of the SG, behind only the creator/leader himself, Knight Sentinel.  In this piece she's desperately clinging to Knight's sword after his disappearance, unable to let go of the past.)

What about Lil Babs?

Love the picture of Aeka, Perfidus. That is damn cute. And some great art here for sure.

Shameless self-plug:

One of my favourite pieces still. A collection of player characters from the CoH Guru community.

Wish I could draw... well.

Haha awesome!  Glad I could help hook someone up with some great art, even if it was indirectly. ;)  Joe does some awesome work.  I first commissioned art from him a long time back when he was having a buy 3 get 1 free deal.  I've been meaning to commission more art but money's pretty tight, but I'm very tempted when I do get the money to spare to go with Joe again.

I also feel the need to give a nod to one of my absolute favorite artists to work with, Wolvtrune, who did this piece and many others in my gallery.

Snow Panther and her younger brother Pyre Tiger.

[Peacemaker]

Here is the Peacemaker again.  Just received the final full color image from Brandon McKinney. This has to be my new favorite piece of art and a nice commemorative farewell to the character I enjoyed for 7+ years.

Doh! I forgot all about this thread after I saw it the first time.  :P
Better late than never getting back here to post these, I guess...

Melissa Uran did these two drawings for me awhile back.

https://images.weserv.nl/?url=www.domuscygna.com%2Fhosting%2FCityOfHeroes%2FRefImages%2FKesAndCardinalSmall.jpg

The first is Ashirion and Ty'Ree (Hero-side scrapper and tank pair).
The second is Grey Kestrel and Red Cardinal (My favorite Rogue stalker and her Adept partner.) 

[Bliz]

Those are beautiful!

[ChristopherRobin]

Oh hey an art thread. :)
Here is my latest, a prize for my coXso event
(City Of X Send Off) to celebrate the CoH art community.

This is Pyrebird.

[Stygian Outlaw]

There are some great art work up here and would love to get some done in the near future.

Would it be impolite to ask for some suggestions on who to get commissions from?

Lots of options out there and would like to narrow the field some if possible.

Thanks!

~Styg

[Perfidus]

Of course. You'd have to give a price range and preferred style though. :)

[Stygian Outlaw]

Thanks for the info!

I managed to come up with a couple of options.

~Styg

[Peacemaker]

great stuff everyone. 

Styg - Looks like you have something/someone in mind but a great place for art would be to look over on Deviant Art and look for the City of Heroes group.  You can check the gallery for artist you like and then see if they are open for commission.  It's a great resource for anyone looking for art.

[ChristopherRobin]

Hey if you're still looking for options you could try the coXso (City Of Heroes Send Off) list.
These are all artists who either played the game extensively, got lots of CoH commissions or both.
They all understand the "City of" universe and know the costume creator very well. http://fav.me/d5hupfx

Also sometimes it helps a lot to see the same character done by a myriad range of different artists to really highlight what you really want.
For that I would suggest the galleries of the largest art collectors like Thors Assassin (Link) Caemgen (Link), Katfood (Link) etc. etc.
If they're doing CoH art you'll most likely find them in one of the artwhores (their word  :P) galleries.
Just a heads up some pieces in there are NSFW.

On a different note here is the latest CoH artz I'm working on.
It's a rough sketch of my next CoXso prize, a villain named Arcturus.
