Heya Baroness, good to have you back! Welcome home and welcome to the best part of the forums.

I totally remember drawing that pic of Raven Nevamore you have set as your avatar.

IIRC it was a gift artz for your birthday and not a contest right?

 

Oh that reminds me since I have been putting up collabs,

I did one of Barron Overlord as well.

 

 

Which became a collab with BW (yes that one ) when he put some quick colors down

to show me how digital coloring could be applied without losing the linework.

 

 

 

 

Umm, Im a SOLO act now days, engaged to a ........0.0 NON CoX player 😶

GASP!

A non CoH Player you claim?!?! Heresy I say! This will not stand! Why the very notion of it...

...

may his conversion from non-player to addict proceed swiftly and smoothly.

 

Joking aside I hope the transition to solo bit was all for the best and that you are happy and safe.

Heya DJ1, welcome to the best part of the forums. Sure thing I tried to tell as many as I could.

Good to see you too. There is a welcome thread somewhere here if you want to say to people, though some are

still not here yet (despite repeated proddings from me) there are several familiar faces (avatars?) and several new artistic

talents here already including Adrian, Jon, Franzkafka21. As you say DD and BW are here and you may remember Plangyke/FlashRains

(posting as Flashtoo) and TemerousNox/Chernobyl Dawn (posting as Zemya Soldat). Oh and you might want to go back through my thread a bit.

Yeah what is wrong with those people, check yo messages! whistles innocently.

saw the new artists you mention, awesomesauce! I remember Nox, she did that chibi of sapphic neko and the feather right? don't remember a plangyke sorry.

On 9/29/2019 at 11:53 PM, Christopher Robin said:

Yep 5 different artists all contributed something to it.

I wondered if you ever saw it before the shutdown happened.

 

I haven't seen Lord Goat or Mike November (and Bobby is no longer with us) yet but I know

DD had fun with her part. Your welcome for my part (the pencils), you did win the contest after all.

 

 

Will do. I've been playing the game and reading a lot lately but I will try to finish this up... soon. ™

 

 

 

I rmember Lord Goat but haven't seen him in forever and i think Mike has a deviant art page

yeah I saw your tribute art to baquitania what happened?

 

Also I wanted to ask if I could use that Grey Ming Badda Bing art you did as my avatar is it cool?

Lol says the guy who forgot to check his.

Awesome-sauce indeed.

 

Yep she did that and many more (including two for me! ). Her thread has slipped off the main

page but click the thumbnail below to jump to it, that is the bulk of them from the old 606 I believe.

 

 

Update: An outdated link seemed broken on my end but was

working for her. It is re-hosted now and all should be well again.

 

It's her DA name, do a search for "Plangkye CoH" over there and her stuff comes up without too much other unrelated content.

Yeah I don't remember her posting that often in the 606 (at least not the years I was around) so you may not remember

the name but her art speaks for itself, you should go check it out on DA or here under "Flash's Show Off Thread."

 

I haven't herd (get it? goats roam in herds ) from Goat in a long while either.

Hope he checks in at some point though. He was fun to collab with.

 

Bobby was diagnosed with late stage cancer, he fought it bravely for as long as he could so he could have more time to spend with his

loving wife, family and friends, he passed in Nov of 2017 (gah has it almost been 2 years already! Where does the time go?)

 

Yes it's fine I will tell you the same thing I told the others who have asked, don't sell it/profit from it please

and do not claim it is your work, if you display it elsewhere a link back to my DA page would be much appreciated.

 

Otherwise yeah go ahead and use it for avatars/sigs/print and hang on your wall etc. (ask me before

you go to print it though and I can scan it in a much higher resolution for you).

Do you know which version of the three were you going to use?

No idea what you are talking about. ;)

 

thanks.  oh yeah I remember some more of them now.

 

You are right i saw her stuff here is really good i'll check her deviant later

 

groan herd pun :p this isn't going to be the tea thing again is it? what stuff did you guys collab on again?

 

I am sorry to hear that. He seemed like such a cool guy and very generous with his art.

 

sweet! thanks. ummm dunno have to see how they look after I find a way to chop them down to just the face., I like the rest too but I want a close up.

Uh hunh. Sure.

 

Sure sure.

 

IKR?

 

No this won't be another run of tea related puns... not to billy-labor the point but we're talking about

goats here and those two things have nanny anything in common... in fact you could almost say

they're are completely ungulated but I won't omni-vore you with all the details though.

 

You mean other than your Grey Ming pic?

I'll dig out some art we did collaboratively and post it in a bit, making breakfast atm.

 

Very cool, very generous.

Sums up Bobby nicely.

 

So something like this?

Here is one LG collab from back in the day.

His wife/SO I believe was Lady Goatster. Here were my pencils.

 

 

He laid down some flats and then asked me to go through and "punch up" his coloring.

So I did a minor paint over and this was our final collaborative result.

 

 

[DJ1]

You know flash said the hour thief was an insufferable punster, i think you must be related,, you got mad punnin skillz yo.

 

That came out great, I saw the colored version on your deviant page but not the pencils I almost like those better. :p

 

YESSS! somethine exactly like that! Thanks CR!

I'll try them all out and see what looks best.

[Christopher Robin]

Well he must be quite the charming fellow then...

or maybe (plot twist!) I'm the Hour Thief!

 

**Duh Duh Duuuuuh!**

 

Let's see, Dashing, Dangerous and Untouchable with a long list of former lovers... check!

Likes to read, prefers sidelong glances and is very handsome... check, check and double check!

Insufferable punster... well insufferable seems a bit harsh but okay fine, check!

 

It looks like I must be... oh wait hang on... man in black and owns a cat.

Nope I wear orange... and I don't own a cat. Close but no cigar.

 

I see you went with the lineart version for your avatar, it looks good. Cheers!

Oh and here is another goatinous collaboration.

 

This time it was another forumite Pyro Nympho (maker of Sig buttons) who's birthday it was.

He chose to have his eponymous hero done. Pyro imagines her based on a

very specific person so the unusual lips, buck teeth and her slight

cross-eyedness were all intentional and by request.

 

 

Lord Goat did some basic colors and I did some punch up work on it.

I notice at some point her teeth got reduced, not sure which of us did that lol.

We were both still very much digital coloring n00bs at this

point but it came out okay all things considered.

 

 

Strangely the grey ponytail wrap on her topknot is my favorite bit of the coloring.

[Christopher Robin]

It keeps telling me I have "won the day." Does anyone know what this is all about?

 

More artz! This was one of winners of my CoXsO (City of X send Off) event that happened just before shutdown.

Sorry I do not remember their forum name but they go by Aybeecee on DA and the heroes name is Pyrebird. 

They also told me they had never had any artwork of their heroes done before so was going to be their first. 

The prize for that segment of the contest was a full color bust, this is the pencil drawing I sketched up for them.

 

[DJ1]

She's pretty, the shading looks so delicate and precise even though its still kinda scribbly. dont know if that makes sense or not.

[Christopher Robin]

No worries, I get where you're coming from, and thanks.

 

Here then was the final result colored digitally.

For the Inktober category of Ring:

When I think of CoH and Ring this is what comes to mind.

Is that the one from Striga Isle? Was she that old?

[Christopher Robin]

Yep, Stephanie Peebles. I really went to town with the wrinkles but it's not off by that much.

Well I haven't done her arc in a while but this is the best pic I could find of her on Paragon Wiki

I do remember her talking about living in Striga back when it was little more than a shipping port.

 

[Christopher Robin]

Couldn't decide on something for the husky category of Inktober

so I went with a Husky (dog breed) named Husky (his tag) who is busy

corn-husking  (in his mouth) while riding in a Hillman Husky (the vintage car)...

 

...with a Husky vanity license plate.

 

 

 

Edited October 8, 2019 by Christopher Robin

[Christopher Robin]

 

Here are the component images of Corn, Dog, and Car for those that want to see more detail.

The inside of the dog's mouth is unfinished since I knew there would be a corn husk in it.

The corn took about 6 minutes the Husky took about 25 minutes and the car an hour.

 

 

Good boy!

 

 

 

Clearly I don't get much call to draw classic cars... or any cars for that matter.

[QueenBethari]

@Christopher Robin I love how the car's vanity plate says "Husky."

What a creative way to merge Inktober prompts!

[Darth Delicious]

If that didn't cover the Husky prompt then I don't know what did! hahahah.
I missed the Husky one, but looks like you took care of it for the both of us.. and then some 😛 .

Great entries CR!

[Christopher Robin]

@QueenBethari Thank you kindly. I thought about maybe just doing a bunch of corn husking

but I wasn't really inspired by that idea so I thought what if it was a dog doing the husking, that made me

smile so I started in on a Husky dog and then I mentioned what I was doing in passing to a friend and

they said "wasn't there an old car called a Husky?" Sure enough there was. The rest is history.

 

@Darth Delicious Indeed.

Covered and smothered.

 

Thanks!

Even more collaborative fun.

 

This was another birthday artz for Caemgen. Back on live he was probably the most consistent commenter in my art thread

and he kept coming up with these compelling hero concepts that I wish I had thought of so I found myself drawing

his heroes quite often. The guy can write really riveting stories too, if only he weren't so lazy about it.

 

This is his petite witch Fenian in pencils.

 

 

A colorist on DA named Vrykon colored her up, I made a few adjustments

and then added my own quick and scribbly 30 second background.

I don't have Vrykon's stage contribution handy but I'll see

if I can dig it up later. This was the branching result

with my finishing touches and background.

 

 

This one goes far enough back I was still using my old sig.

OOOO Chris..I really like that last one!!!!

 

Thanks Healix, I had several more years practice under my belt

and had drawn him a few times in between and so was more familiar.

I had also grilled... err I mean gotten some good feedback from Caemgen.

 

There was this 20 minute quick sketch

I did which he dubbed Kid Caemgen.

 

 

 

I liked it enough to rework and spend time detailing it.

So about 1¾ hours later it had turned into this.

I took the design one step further too as this was also around the time I discovered soft-brushing.

Which when combined with a quick color tint almost made it feel like you had a whole

new piece of artwork. It could be kind of hit or miss sometimes but it took hardly

any time or effort to apply so it was worth a shot to see what effect it had.

 

This was the effect on the above sketch.

I also lengthened his face to add back some years.

 

[DJ1]

I think it came out great, got any more of those lyin around?
