Completely unrelated side-note: Cachet, knowing that you are also a Transformers aficionado,
I was wondering what your thoughts were on the new War for Cybertron Trilogy series?
Personally I am loving the art style with all the weathered,
scraped and combat-worn details. Even Bumblebee looks like a boss!
These are worth seeing large but I didn't want to put off topic full screen art
in this thread so click thumbnails for larger image if interested.

I'm penciling the new page today, guys. Wish me luck!
Very bestest of luck!

Some definitive answers to some of the questions I've seen thus far:
1. No, Nyx's cloak clasp hasn't changed, I just... had some issues with the markers this time around. (I AM terrible with maintaining continuity details, though, as anyone who's been keeping an eye on that graffiti'd red S has noticed.) Thank you for noticing and being delighted by the cast shadow from the fence-- people noticing little details like that makes doing elaborate backgrounds bearable.
2. Black Marrow is my invention, yes. I looked at the game Wiki to make sure I wasn't using any existing names, because I have a story arc idea that has nothing to do with any of the canon arcs in the game (that I know of). And Nyx is using a neutral 'them' because she's been gone for three years and doesn't know if this is a man or a woman she's looking for. (It's totally going to be a woman, though, because I think a female Skull boss will be cool.)
3. Yes, I am personally female. And, as a bonus, I've tried to cosplay Nyx a couple of times, with varying levels of success. I'd like to try again someday, but her costume is HARD.
/emote hugsToxinFox
Happy to hear it Fox.
I often wonder if I should start discussions
about story or art details, not every artist likes it.
1. Ah no worries then. I am honestly kind of torn between them. The "N" clasp is on brand and looks more distinctive but
might be a chore depending if it is a buckle or button through clasp. The "two halves" looks more like a quick
change friendly style clasp that could even be magnetic (like those reading glasses some have that
split in half but when you lift and bring them near they jump together easily and line up
correctly without even having to try and look down past your chin to align them first.
So Iconic Style vs Quick Change Convenience would be my take on it though she could just
have more than one cape/clasp style or just upgraded with some prompting from Serge at ICON (etc).
2. Theory confirmed! Achievement unlocked! Go Hunt Kil Lady Skullz!
3. Saw them over on DA and I think you did great with her costume.
The CoH belt buckle is worth extra awesome points.
P.S. While I am pointing out details I enjoy,
I love that the tail of the fox (in your avatar)
resembles a paint brush that is dripping paint.
P.P.S. For anyone else craving more "Nyx Tales" between postings of the story
here I would point out the other 6-page mini comic which can be found here.
Fair warning though it ended a number of years ago on an abrupt cliff-hanger.

While the Skulls do allow females into their ranks now, not just "Skull's Girlfriends" (how progressive), and even have female bosses
(Death Dolls), all of the named bosses with Bone-something (or Marrow or Snap etc) in their moniker are Bone Daddy's
and as the name implies they are all male. There is a named Death Head called Knucklebone (also a dude) but
Death Head's are classed as Lieutenants. There is also a female Arch-Villain but as the comic is talking
about a neighborhood level named boss with Marrow in his title that really doesn't apply.
So while I do know Black Marrow, if he existed in the game, would be a Bone Daddy I am also fair certain I have personally punchedevery single Skull in their... well, skull (heh) at least twice over the years and I've yet to run across a Skull boss thusly named
so he/she is new and could be whatever Fox wants for her story depending if she is going for cannon accurate or not.
So DD's point stands but perhaps not for the reason you might have thought?
...and yes I do know ToxinFox is a her because I looked her up on DA.

*cheers* So happy to see you finally received the colors!
Do we know it's a him though?
Well yes and no I guess. If cannon within the game's lore it's a he, if non-canon it could be either.
ToxinFox could be inventing a female named skull boss to fight her female protagonist.
Or, within the story frame, Nyx might not know much of recent events (she has been gone three years)
and is therefore choosing to not make any assumptions at this point. Good thinking DD.

Coolness!
Point of order thought shouldn't it be "....where I can find him" singular, referring to Black Marrow?
Also did Nyx get a new cape clasp?
Favorite page detail: Shadow the gate in the background is casting.

Yeah, I remember one day, a long time ago, when I saw a guy in the game with a Superman costume. I notice that he probably have the same MOD than me, since I was seeing the Superman logo in his chest. But when I tried to talk with him, saying that I could see his Superman logo... he runed away! lol I think he got afraid of doing something wrong in the game.
Yeah that's why I made a point of saying above that it doesn't overwrite anything and therefore
doesn't break the terms of service. Trying to copy Superman however is totally against
the rules though so that could also be why he ran away (faster than a speeding
bullet while leaping tall buildings with a single bound I'm guessing
).
You know it's possible that he didn't have the
mod at all or even know what you were talking about.
I'm guessing you have one of the mod packs by Electro as his was by far the most popular Superman
mod and since that mod supplants the letter "S" the guy may just have made a Superman clone
and put the regular S on his chest and you saw it as Superman because you had the mod.
Just a thought.
1 hour ago, Player2 said:I wanted a battle axe stalker, but there is no such animal... but thanks to Ninjitsu secondary for scrappers...
If it's just for the screen shots there is always the Ghost Slaying Axe which is available to all.
Also you could suggest that combination wherever the thread for powerset proliferation is (or start one).

CR forgot to say it but hes in them "many others" list cuz I've seen several of his mods.
also noticed the attack on titan shot was taken from Xlluzya's back... on purpose? dang now i'm curios about the mod gone wild stories!
I did not "forget" I just don't see my contributions as all that
consequential compared to the amount of work others have done.
Also while I have made many mods I haven't shared the files publicly.
They were mostly just for things I made for myself or friends when I wanted
something beyond what the CC had available (e.g. faces, weapons, SG logos etc).
As for Xllusya that was just the angle I had when I saw him. Her face is custom yes, it's not a secret.
It's been on my DA for years and I have displayed it here before as well. The CC didn't have a female
face with golden eyes which I wanted for my goddess (except for the feline face) so I made one for myself.
I can PM you later, it's too far off topic here.

Believe it or not, I'm walking on air. I never though the costume designer could be so free. It makes me want to fly away on a wing and prayer.
Who could it be?
Believe it or not it's just sheeeee.
On 1/4/2021 at 11:58 AM, Sable Phoenix said:I never realized before that the chest symbol in the costume designer is almost an exact copy of the one from the show. How cool is that?
That is a modification file (or "Mod" for short) he's using that temporarily supplants one of the games existing symbols.
It doesn't overwrite the actual games files in any way so they were allowed but there are a couple drawbacks.
Since the costume data is local to your machine, only you and anyone else who has the mod file sees it.
Everyone else sees the original chest piece that you are supplanting. So mods would
be of no help to you in a costume contest for example.
Everyone else, whether they be other players or even other NPC's, who have that chest detail will
be seen on your screen as having the mod, not just you so you need to pick what you supplant
carefully. It's even more important if you plan to share your mod because everyone who
uses it will be affected too. It also helps to know about the popular mods out there.
The Superbabes SG logo is one example that still floats about today because
the person who originally made it supplanted one of the common star symbols.
So @captainstar, to pick an example, thinks he looks like this in game...
But to the thousands of people who had the
mod bundle back in the day he would look like this.
I could tell you some funny stories about the unintended consequences of
modding "gone wild" but I will just say choose your files wisely
because some will follow instructions to put them in but
may not be tech savvy enough to take them out.
Great strides are being made to make adding / removing / sharing mods easier from what I have
been reading. Shout out to @The Philotic Knight, @Oubliette_Red, @Solarverse and many
others past and present for all of their hard work put in on the modding front.

Something new. Here is my drawing of Troo from Pirate Cashoo's thread.
I've got a few updates to existing pieces coming soon as well.

Thank you @Troo.
At first I thought he might be your typical fiery demon but from what little visual
reference I saw he looks to be sporting a gaseous aura. Can you confirm that?
Also, though it has been very quiet in that thread of late, some very
cool things have befallen pencils tossed into the collab thread.
You may want to post it over there and see if any other
artists want to have a go at inking or coloring it.

So I know that Cachet said if any other artists wanted to jump in and draw
from the refs in this thread to do so but my thinking was that anyone
posting a ref here is probably hoping to get a sketch from her.
That said I do feel like contributing something and no one
said anything about their avatars being off limits.
So I figured I would leave the refs for Cachet and just
draw the first avatar that jumped out at me.
Sucks to be you @Troo
I may do more with it a bit later but here is the
pencil sketch anyway (about 22 minutes).
A bigger version is here if you want.
Hopefully @Troo doesn't mind.

If I were a forum cop and taking people's signatures wouldn't I have to arrest myself? Didn't really think that one through did ya?
Also no thanks. I am neither a kitteh nor do I wish to be a forum cop and I think DD wore her own just fine.
Now that you mention it though I should probably redo my old sig about the getting a color swap button for the CC.
The original devs almost got around to it before shut down, maybe the new ones could actually get it done.

ShadowWings was my old moniker/main - Elec/Elec Blaster, funny enough.
Duskrune was Legionbreaker's former name LMAO.
It's been what, 10 years? Brain go brrrt.
Thanks for correcting my derp.Yeah I figured it was probably an old forum name (I always wonder why
people change a perfectly good name though) that you no longer use and that
you probably remade/renamed Duskrune but kept the costume design. I don't see any
real benefit to claiming someone else's character as yours while getting all of the details wrong.
Wouldn't make much sense.
11 but who's counting.
Cachet was but a wee lass of 17.
Gah! Where the hell does the time go???
No worries Shadeknight.

@KyuubeWelcome home to the city!
Indeed you don't often see much gold side love.
Nice work on the posters! Helen Carnate is my favorite,
both for the art and the pun. If you are looking for some poster
suggestions how about one that glorifies how Emperor Cole keeps the
citizens safe from Hamidon? Some promotion for the Powers Division perhaps?
P.S. Now I finally know what Ant-Man is made of so thanks for that.

Is there something we the community could do to help?
Perhaps someone here knows of another reputable source outside of Too?
Is scanning and digital copic coloring ala Sketch Book Pro an option for your halted projects?
You may post as you wish of course but if you are asking
my vote would land squarely in the 'gimmeh teh shineez nao!" camp.

.............................Also, not sure where to put this, but I recently saw someone with nearly my exact costume of my main (albeit different hair, face and aura) but the iteration before his current where I use a dark grey instead of black. Mine is the one on the right, which I posted in this thread about a year ago.
Welcome to the club.
I actually attended a costume contest once and after it was done I was hanging
out near the bottom of the steps where new heroes pop out and just chatting with
the judges and a few people who were in the contest and out popped my mirror image.
Wrong shade of blue on the boots but otherwise an exact copy.
I was like "COPYCAT!" and they quickly logged out and faded away.
I felt a weird mix of pride along with a heaping side order of "How dare you!"
I know there are no rules against it but the audacity of it annoyed me.

Art Freebies Thread!

It's a pleasant surprise to know you had some hand in it and I agree they do look really good animated.
I am also glad to hear it was nothing (specifically) to do with IDW. That number of high stress hours
for those kind of wages is unconscionable! No project is worth sacrificing your health long term.
I'm sorry it didn't turn out to be the dream job it should've been.
