Agent Canada

I don't consider myself a gamer or at least I didn't at the time. All my friends were saying I should join them in "whatever game they were currently playing" and I usually deferred the request but this one time I said maybe if there was a Superhero MMO I might jump in. Now I had heard a little bit about CoH but not from someone I would want to game with regularly but a girl I know picked me up a second hand copy of the original game, one that still had the free time in it, and I would've been stupid not to try it out. I got wrongly busted during the trial run but was hooked and purchase a new copy of CoX went the free run ran out. I consider it "my game", I have played other MMOs at this point but I always come home. A big part of it is that I joined up late in the game's life so i never got bored or jaded and when it ended there was still so much I wanted to do.

I finally went and installed the new Homecoming Launcher and quickly got sucked in to playing a bunch of old favourites for the rest of the night, Fortunately, my girlfriend is also a gamer so I wasn't alone or ignoring her. The launcher looks great, is very functional, and the prompts mean it practically does all the installation work. As far as I know, everything transferred over properly. Thanks Homecoming.

Awesome, congratulations!

These are all really cool. I love playing with screen caps but this is the closest I ever came to a news paper clipping.

HAPPY VICTORIA DAY WEEKEND TO ALL MY CANADIAN FRIENDS, REAL AND IMAGINARY! This is a new piece I did over on Facebook, when I asked who was the most popular Canadian Superhero. The Chapterhouse Captain Canuck came in first place with Alpha Flight's Puck and I loved the way the doodle turned out. VDSpecial01:

Wow, nice comic and beautiful work station. AC

Sorry MattL1222, after loading in to the tutorial to take the pictures, I got rid of the character, so I don't actually have a costume file for him. No need to apologize for not being specific, it just meant that any attempt would be more a personal taste thing on my part. Feel free to keep the picture if it helps you make the character up. and feel free to tweak the heck out of it as well. AC

You didn't ask for much directly but going with this statement, My take revolves around a street kid / gang member who hits it big time when it comes to superpowers but hasn't outgrown the gangbanger mentality. He wears modified clothing to make his costume and name stick out but it is really his physique and skin that makes him a super. Iron Horse: He would make for a good street level tank even though I made him a Brute. With a name like Iron Horse you could give him super speed as a non-traditional tank movement. and the name and concept would work for all alignments too. Just messing around here as I said you didn't ask for anything too specific . AC

Hey PoitVok, this maybe too much of a hybrid but here's my take on your character. The Devoured Seer: It's a female with the height and physique made bigger, shoulders and breasts made wider and fuller - this is to emulate the more reptilian physique she would be evolving into. Widen the face a little and reduce the nose to suggest that the facial features are slowly disappearing. The visor already lends itself to being a Seer and rendering the face even more featureless. The Circle of Thorn gloves made to match the skin colour as much as possible to (hopefully) show the lower arms and hands are slowly widening and changing form. Clawed boots made to match skin colour as well to show the nonhuman toe configuration of the Reptilian body she is slowly turning into. The tights were tricky because I wanted something that would look like the Seer's uniform but show that even the body underneath was slowly changing configuration. Anyways it's just my take on your character but I do hope you like it or it gives you other ideas. AC

I'm going to post another Bruce Timm doodle, a Champions Online one, as I went and remade the character here last night to try out Ice. Forgot how much I liked Ice so he's a keeper. Winter01: MWLS: The CoH costume still needs a few tweaks but I have always preferred the classic tights look anyways. AC

Eve Ash looks awesome, way to go. AC

I don't really use it anymore but you can visit my old dA page here. https://www.deviantart.com/agentcanada Here's the last two related coloured ones I have. clobberin_01_in_color: (The same artist that coloured the Alienix one also did this one up.) TseuWck: (This one and a bunch more were coloured for free on the Champions Oline forums as part of that whole Grand Prize attitude I talked about earlier.) That's it for now and thanks. AC

More Doctor Presto doodles. Invader01: (During City's absence I would still offer Anniversary type lotteries. ) FMonsters02: (We are both fans of horror films as well as comic books so he loved the Famous Monsters lotteries, he finally won one too.) That wraps up the mariner stuff. One of the other cool things about Super Groups, forums and even deviantArt at the time was that people were actually very generous, I've had quite a few of my doodles coloured and reposted as kind of a grand prize for the community. This first one was an art exchange through dA, I drew one of his characters for him and he coloured my girlfriend's picture for me. alienix_01_in_color: I know nothing of this kind of colouring so this piece blew me away. AC

He might've been before I knew him, as I said I joined up rather late in the game's life. His water guy that I knew was called War Trident at the time. Lol, yep, that was totally A Christmas Story and that was totally the Leg Lamp. AC

Well Mariner and I are both older fans, older as in I hit 50 last year, so that's pretty old skool to begin with. As for Seymour he ended up becoming one of my regular Halloween Lotteries, that and the Famous Monsters ones. I did a series of lotteries where you got to lose to the iconic comic book villain of your choice, it was run as a three round kind of event. The first two rounds were losses but the third round was a victory, the catch here was that you had to risk entering a loss round to qualify to enter the third round. MageWar01: (This was techinaclly a CO one but doesn't feature any CO IP.) Presto1: (A Christmas joke for you older folks.) SSketches02: (Flintstones Style) Thanks for all the comments and reactions.
