You may have an option that is now blocked or perhaps was
moved. A good test would be to start a new hero and try to make her
suit exactly as you have it now and see if the game will let you.

Cool!
Metal gives me way more headaches than leather, but yeah I feel your pain.

Not sure but I think that's the other kid from Iron Man III who helps Tony
re-power his suit IIRC, it's been a while since I've seen 3, not one of my favorite MCU films.
Anywho before this tangent gets too far off topic, yay costume!
I'm looking forward to finding out what form her "unpleasant surprise" will take.

It has been done quite a bit.
The little boy in Iron Man II (later confirmed to be Peter Parker) getting rescued by
Iron Man while wearing his helm and glove and standing up to a Hammer drone comes to mind.
Used properly though it's still a great story telling device and a fun way to show a connection to the city and it's people.

@Cutter You're welcome?
Oh man, how to sum up Elfquest. One of the most important independent comics of all time would be a start.
Spanning 40 years and started in the 70's by a 19yo female artist at a time when that was virtually
unheard of in the industry, she and her husband would later go on to form their own
publishing company WaRP (Wendy and Richard Pini) and tell a tale truly epic in
scale and scope. The artwork was unique and was one of my inspirations
to learn to draw better as a kid. The main protagonist's name is Cutter.
P.S. A bit of trivia, Brandon McKinney who did artwork for the City of Heroes comics (the Blue King run)
has collaborated with Wendy Pini and may yet again on a future project if what I am hearing is right.

Miss Mechanism was born when I saw one of those "feel good" news items you always see floating about the net... About a girl, born with a withered arm, who'd built an robot arm for a school science fair project and hoped to go into robotics research. For some reason, the phrase "first she built an arm, next she built an army" popped into my head. Originally a Praetorian, she's been re-created a pure hero on Homecoming.
One day I'll figure out what kind of character (and a name) fits her sister and she'll join Amanda in game.
The powers concept is based (very loosely) on an anime... Her bio is a mash up/modification of two characters from a different anime. (I've posted her elsewhere, but never mentioned the latter before. A plate of virtual cookies to the person who can identify the anime _and characters_ her bio comes from.)"first she built an arm, next she built an army" then, on the following Tuesday, she built an armada?

I am also extremely fond of historical references like Anne Bonny and Revenant De Molay.
Is her alternate suit a "Devil Woman" outfit?

With that in mind, here is the biography for Chimney Stack,
For references, I used two articles from The Paragon Times which can be found here and here.
Interesting choice of initialism and charged with the aesthetic and the artistic... you don't say.

My brain read that as Farmoogeddon initially.
Also is your moniker an Elfquest reference by chance?

Well, to be perfectly precise, it said REcolor, so it'd be on stuff that was already colored that you wanted the colors changed.
It did indeed...
which works out great for me because I have several of those as well.
Starting with one of my first Shieldara commissions.
Though I love the result the artist missed the fact that she is primarily of African-American
descent and her skin should be shades of brown and not pink. After you're done
with that freebie I have several more that you could get started on that...
okay I'm kidding here but you get my point. REcolor will get you a
slightly smaller mountain of work but a mountain no less.
Also, cool Skeletor... errr Mordenkai

Oh, thanks, you are correct! Good catch.
You're welcome, it happens from time to time.
It's a small distinction but seemed important enough to point out.
Besides if I was wrong that would be a whole lot of free
color work and I wanted to be first in line.

I made this one back when there was insane talk about rushing Area 51.
@Player 2 Running backwards in Ninja Run can make you look a bit like you are Naruto/Anime running.
I put this up around that same time...

Took a moment to try and help promote your sale.
https://www.deviantart.com/christopherrobinartz/journal/Another-friend-having-an-artz-sale-835302661
Good Luck!
Also you may want to edit your OP...
Free services I will provide for customers -
- Recolor of previously-purchased art
to specify that it's (I assume)
"Recolor of art previously purchased from me"
Because if it's not I've got a minor mountain of fan art and commissions
from other artists over the years that you could color for free.

Amazing looking art! I wish I had the funds to get enough different markers to shade like that 🙂
@FlashtooI know it's not the same as having the actual markers in hand but #3 in this post is worth noting...

If you want quick and easy demo edit is the way to go. Find a line up or grouping you
like (or use the handy one provided by OklahomaMan) and just copy paste some code and it's done.
It's what I used way back in the day to get this shot of my witch Chloe Macomber forcing the Cabal to bow to her will.
The Idea of using AE is good as well if you know how to make an AE mission ( I have never done it myself).
Using a photo editing program will give you the most control and perhaps the prettiest results but the
learning curve for doing it well can be steep. The upside though is you can take the pictures in any
location, wipe out the backgrounds (as I did below) & then composite them any way you wish.
Then go and find whatever scenic shot you want in the game and overlay the images onto it.
The advantage here is you can take dozens of city shots in different places and from
different angles and keep trying the overlay until you get the perfect shot.
One more thought. With demo edit if you can only get 4 friends to pose but you want a dozen of
your heroes in the shot just place the four of them and have them type /loc. Make a note
of their positions, have them move to the next four spots & repeat as needed.
You don't need 12 people standing together to get a shot with 12 in it.
You could do it by yourself if you were patient enough. Once you
have all the locations just open the demo file & substitute
your heroes at each location and take your picture.

Was one of Mariner's mains a Dolphin themed sonic hero?
Because I think I drew a birthday quick sketch for someone with a
similar name (he may have gone by Dolphin on the old boards though).
Oh look it's a Major Award... which I'm sure he totally won and had shipped directly
from a region in France known as Fragile (pronounced Frah-gee-lay).
Np, and right back at you Agent Canada.

you know I might follow up on that once RL winds down and I'm able to pursue this endeavor further! 🙂
If you decide to, that's great.
And, if so, do come back and post whatever commission/artwork
you end up with. There are at least two threads in "the new 62" for just that purpose.

The position of the quote makes the arrow point at you now.
Yeah, so I hear. I know there's a lot of content I am missing out on it's just tough to get into.
Playing as a hero really just clicks with me, you know? Even beating a mission redside and hearing
that theme instead of the awesome trumpety hero theme sounds wrong... like the wrong side is winning.

Thanks Barbarette and Clawdebt (I assume you mean Mike?).
Note to self: Draw more ruggedly handsome, manly men.The proverbial "chicks" will, as they say, "dig it."
Yes I finally have an idea of what your namesake looks like. I'm glad you made it home for the holidays.
If you had to be away for so long for the reasons I suspect then I thank you for your service.
If for some other reason, I am still glad you made it home in time to be with family.
@Clawdebt I asked about your name in another thread, you don't
have to answer of course but I wonder if you saw it at all?

Lol Thanks Healix and DJ1.
@Extor Prime He may be a dandy, DD would know more. The two modern depictions of him outside
his armor I remember were both very much "jeans and a tee or tank top" kind of looks though.
https://www.deviantart.com/anjasylvie/art/Mike-and-DeeDee-City-of-Heroes-401830650
and also this... https://www.deviantart.com/anjasylvie/art/Mike-and-Liam-313986364
Yet to go: his right fist/gauntlet, his right leg, external oblique armor, triceps armor,
tie down bands for his torso armor (like the ones on his leg), cape pattern and
the inside of his ear (which I seem to be drawing last a lot for some reason).
Optional: I may adjust the lay of his cape in the lower left corner.
Possibly another shading pass (depends on if colors are likely)
and I might close up his collar (kind of like it open though).
