Healix Posted January 1, 2020 Posted January 1, 2020 Whoever that is, he already is the bomb! 3 1 Forever grateful to be back in my city!
Christopher Robin Posted January 1, 2020 Author Posted January 1, 2020 (edited) Update: I made most of him in ¾ view too, so I cannot mirror anything either. I guess it's going to be old-school slow and steady free-hand for this piece. And apparently I chose to have foreshortening on his left arm, what was I thinking??? Thanks Healix, QueenB (wait does Beyonce know about this? ), Flash and DJ1 for the recent comments. Sidenote: I rounded out the apex of his groin so the armor plate covering it didn't look like an giant arrow pointing south. Edited January 1, 2020 by Christopher Robin 9 Like the Costume Creator?

No worries, I hope you had a great time. Lol maybe it was my previous avatar's goatee but yep it is indeed Mysterious Mike. I've started work on the face and thorn pattern. We'll see what she thinks about this one if/when she ever gets a break from her demanding schedule. Update: I changed the left arm into the classic "Bring It!" tanker taunt pose and drew those unusual gauntlets he wears. Not sure about the right arm but it will most likely be just a straight closed fist. Edited January 6, 2020 by Christopher Robin updated my avatar 8 Like the Costume Creator? Enjoy a challenge?

Agent Canada Posted January 4, 2020 Posted January 4, 2020 You've got some great pieces here Christopher, but I specifically love how you do eyes, the depth pulls you into the portraits. AC 3

Update: Here is what I have on the face so far. There is a bit of right hand bias that I can see so I'll adjust it in P.S. I've got his suit's thorn pattern that goes up onto his face drawn too. I'll post it shortly. Edited January 8, 2020 by Christopher Robin 8 Like the Costume Creator? Enjoy a challenge? Love to WIN? You really should've clicked here before 6pm on Sunday the 18th!

Flashtoo Posted January 8, 2020 Posted January 8, 2020 Is that the ExoProto pattern? Yeah, very annoying to draw; I've encountered it in commissions many times. 1 4 Character portrait artist for hire, PM for details! Commissions: Closed, Sorry

Christopher Robin Posted January 11, 2020 Author Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) 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).

Barbarette Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 I'm with Healix, he looks very ruggedly handsome! Now hurry up and finish, you have other things to work on. 😉 4 1
Christopher Robin Posted January 12, 2020 Author Posted January 12, 2020 (edited) 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." @Barbarette 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?

Clawdebt Posted January 12, 2020 Posted January 12, 2020 Yep I meant Mysterio Mike. 😉 Nope didn't see anything like that.
Barbarette Posted February 3, 2020 Posted February 3, 2020 I don't think so, it's only been a week. Maybe he's just busy at work? 1
DarkLilac Posted February 3, 2020 Posted February 3, 2020 Well, he must come back. I need to see this latest artwork finished! It looks so good so far and it's a very handsome character coming across in the work! I am not sure I am remembering correctly. But I do remember CR from the old CoH Art forums and it looks like his artwork has really come a long way from years ago (again, if i remember correctly because I am drawing a blank on his art specifically) and if I do remember wrong and he was always that awesome, then yay! Still awesome! 😄 Now he must come back and set me straight! 2 1 1
Darth Delicious Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 (edited) Goodness me! Mike looks amazing! 😍And also hi, sorry for taking so long to respond. I have no excuse really, other than, loss of precious (Sidekick) Sam (cat), heartbreak, change of job, yet another move, 😞 and you know.. the usual life that happens when you're making other plans. 😅CR is fine by the way! Talked to him yesterday. I'll try and nudge him in this direction again 😉 Edited June 4, 2020 by Darth Delicious typo 1 1
