Christopher Robin Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 (edited) Back during the "Live" days of the City of Heroes forums we used have an Art Request Thread so I figure we should have one for homecoming as well. Essentially it's a place where you can post a reference shot of your hero and a brief note or two about them and maybe have a chance to score some free fan artz and who doesn't love gift artz? That said here are some thoughts: -------------------------------------- #1 Be polite. If you are rude, demanding or repeatedly pester the artists your shot at getting artz goes down to nil so bear that in mind. Don't expect anything, that way you will be pleasantly surprised if you are chosen. #2. Be patient. Sketches and line artz can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days and fully colored/rendered stuff can take weeks. 3. Make it easy for the artists. If your refs are too dark, blurry or taken from far away it makes it more challenging for the artists to attempt your character. I understand not everyone has a computer beefy enough to turn up all the detail settings to max but do try your best Alternatively ask someone to take a screenshot for you ingame or name any unclear pieces you use. Here is a example of good, clear reference. Click the image below to see the larger version. Any other points people think of? Let me know and I will add them in later.

Christopher Robin Posted July 30, 2019 Author Share Posted July 30, 2019 I also do not see your images, just two flickering boxes that say DDref and MMref.

Also the links both go to my DA stash for download. *looks very confuzzled* Yes I am sure. It looks like this to me. There are grey boxes around the words DDrefs and MMref that flicker which won't show in a still image. Try the link I just posted above to help you out with that.

Christopher Robin Posted July 30, 2019 Author Share Posted July 30, 2019 You could put that theory to the test and try the method in my mini tutorial *linked above* and see if it then correctly displays in all browsers. Just a thought. 1 Like the Costume Creator? Enjoy a challenge? Love to WIN? You really should've clicked here before 6pm on Sunday the 18th!

Christopher Robin Posted July 30, 2019 Author Share Posted July 30, 2019 (edited) The good news is the ref for DD started working again on my screen after you changed it to the "View Image Info" link. Not sure why but here it is. Mikes refs are still not working. No worries, I'm sure it will get sorted soon enough. Edited July 30, 2019 by Christopher Robin 1 Like the Costume Creator?

_Kai_ Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) New go round, new characters, the only one I have refs for so far is Lithium, I'll get Phaseshift up soon but for now, have at it if you want. To be clear I buy art and don't expect anything, but if you want things to practice on/with feel free 🙂 Edited August 1, 2019 by _Kai_ . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher Robin Posted August 11, 2019 Author Share Posted August 11, 2019 (edited) Indeed. I didn't think much of collecting artz until I started getting gifts from DD, Caemgen and others.... but at 75 pieces and counting I have to admit it's kind of getting out of hand. Hi I am CR and I am an art whore. I'm sure some of the bigger art collectors are reading this and thinking, a sub 100 gallery, how quaint. Also I totally read that cat's name as Bedlam which is sooo.... well cats. Edited August 11, 2019 by Christopher Robin 1 1 Like the Costume Creator? Enjoy a challenge? Love to WIN?
