FINAL!

And a note: I'm willing to do some more small changes for people who didn't see these updates in time, but I'm no longer making any large changes to the poster. I'm thinking maybe taking small changes for a week, but for anyone who's eager to print out a final version, this is basically it. Yay!

Hey guys, here's the probably final update! Please look it over and if you notice any goofs like a character doesn't have shadows or someone has three eyes but they're supposed to have twelve, let me know!

Please share around, as this may be the final thingy. If everything is cool by the end of the day tomorrow, we can call it finished! For those of you who want to make a print of this, don't do so until I put a big, fat FINAL note on this guy! Note that this image is NOT the full resolution piece! The link to the full, no-compression piece is just below it.

Probably Maybe Final Update Twenty Seven!

Update Twenty-Six:
http://i.imgur.com/dHFNS7l.jpg

Hey guys, I'm going to do a (hopefully) big superhero group shot filled with characters from our community. ~~I'm hoping for around 30 characters to draw on an 11x17" canvas. If it goes bigger than that, well bully for everyone!~~ We've busted past 30 characters, but that's no problem! The image will just get larger to accommodate more characters! I'll accept character submissions for a week (until midnight on July 9th), ~~and your character will be drawn the day it's paid for (providing I have the time)~~. I totally didn't expect this many people to participate (I thought like 3 characters a day might be a little unrealistic!) so your characters will be drawn as soon as I get to them, as there's a fairly large queue now. I will be posting nightly progress pics, and the pace should pick up this Tuesday.

Characters will be drawn starting from front and center. Make sure to include what sort of travel power your character uses in your post. Any super jumpers/acrobatics can be drawn on the ground or jumping, flyers will be drawn in the air, teleporters can be drawn anywhere. If you have a suggestion for a pose, describe it in your post or link a picture to give me an idea of what you want.

Each character slot will be $10, payable through paypal. Include your forum name and character name in the "Notes" section when sending your payment so I know who has paid for which character. To participate, post some pictures of the character you want drawn, and send payment. Multiple submissions per player is fine.

~~If there's lots of empty space, I'll fill them in with generic/Champions/my own characters to keep it nice and big lookin'~~. Well that's no longer an issue! Thanks so much, everyone!

Follow this link to get this thing going!

I'll accept submissions through to the 9th of July.

Help us fill this sad little lonely street! I'll try to update this each day that a character is added.

FIRST!

Ratasassin@esalmighty

Travels: Hyper roll and Superjump
Weapons: BIG O GUNS!
Pose: wherever you want me!

(ill email screenies since i can't post pic anymore)

biffsmackwell · July 2016

Woop!

Also I forgot to add, the final picture will be in full color. All characters will be drawn on their own layer, and individual shots of the characters can be sent to anyone who wants one.

forutnefire · July 2016

I want to send you monies but you're using PayPal.

It won't let me send you monies.

(plus what you've done in the past is still current as far as her body type goes - the costume has just changed)

Travels: Flight and Acro (non-anime).

Pose: Something that looks cool. I like what you put in there as an example, honestly. Looks like she's leaping up ready to blast someone. Maybe add in some fire in her hands?

Thanks for doing this!

Character: Wheelman -- http://robenix.deviantart.com/art/Reference-Wheelman-2014-462751127
Travel powers: Hyper Ball, Acrobatics
Perhaps a running or jumping pose that oh-so-slightly accentuates his rubbery flexibility?

astrosimi5 · July 2016

Just sent a digital Hamilton your way. If you'll so please, include this Peace-loving guy: http://imgur.com/a/ZNZYI

The Peacemaker normally flies with his telekinesis, but he also has a pair of jet boots for speed. Whatever looks better on paper

Pose, well, if you're gonna draw him in the air, perhaps have him hovering, yet visibly ready to kick **** at the signal. I'm not good with describing poses, but I trust your judgement on that.

That reference album has a little image with a few notes if it helps!

canadascott · July 2016

Payment sent.

Screen shots soon.

calamitycain · July 2016

This is awesome of you! Thanks for the opportunity.

I'm gonna double dip. First my character Captain Adamant, the Unbreakable Man. I'm pretty simple and minimalist with his poses. If he's just standing tall, at the ready for any trouble that comes his way, that will be just fine!

i756.photobucket.com/albums/xx205/CalamityCain/CapAdamantReference_zpsird5mm8c.png

Then, my teenage hero, Kid Ballistic, a young gunslinger with an attitude! As long as he's holding guns and grinning; a smile somewhere between charming and maniacal, that'll be lovely!

i756.photobucket.com/albums/xx205/CalamityCain/KBReference_zpssnkwzsbk.png

My forum name is CalamityCain! Thanks!

xparibax · July 2016

This is a great idea Smacky!! And it looks good so far

I has no paypal so I'll just wave pompoms and watch eagerly over here.

agentcanada · July 2016

I can't wait to see how this turns out, good luck man. No money here either but what a great offer.
AC

themightyzenith · July 2016

Hiya smacky.....just sent the payment for Britannia.

Flying and holding up her sceptre of power triumphantly!

I'll send you a reference image shortly.

Edit....just sent it via a message on your account here in arc

Hmm, it scaled wierdly, so just in case here are a couple of reference images...

She's a tall drink of water, standing around 2m tall (6' 7"), and the outside of her cape is a simple field of the same red she uses elsewhere.

purin1 · July 2016

Neiuso@Purin

Travel powers are Acrobatics and Teleportation, either one works fine. I'd like for him to either have his hands in his pockets or brandishing his katana.

Reference images can be found here: http://imgur.com/a/UPAoX

pallas0001 · July 2016

I LOVE this idea, and its a wonderful way to bring the community together, so to speak. Money sent (and well spent, lol). As you can see from the forum name, pallas001 here.

I'd like in on this... add SPARROWHAWK to the mix. Just give her a fun martial arts style action pose.

Sparrowhawk uses Athletics but she can be jumping from high or low. She's often very serious looking but might have a cocky smirk. For weapons, she utilizes 'energy batons' (see bottom pic on reference sheet... sheesh, they need these already in game! lol).

Reference shot: http://primusdatabase.com/images/5/5e/SHcollageref12.jpg

Note: If she's wielding her batons she won't be carrying that staff - it separates to form the batons.

Also LASH, the super powerful teen airhead. She uses Flight to get around and has a light green fire type aura that trails behind her. For a pose, Lash probably grinning very happily and may or may not be carrying a SUPER obese gray Scottish Fold cat with her (your discretion, obv... if you go to Lash's PDB page you can see her pet cat).

Reference shot: http://primusdatabase.com/images/a/a3/Lashref.jpg

THANK YOU so much for doing this, I'm so excited to see how it turns out!

themightyzenith · July 2016

I'm loving the idea of this so much that I just payed to have another character added...Swashbuckler!

He uses athletics and swinging and has dual flintocks and dual fantasy rapiers. I trust you to make him look sexy and dashing.

Here are some reference images for him....

Difficult to see on these images because of angles and shadows, but the inside of his cape is an ever so slightly lighter colour than his belt pouch.

flyingfinn · July 2016

Flight TP. Think Zarya cosplaying as Iron Man, and you'll get it.

jonsills · July 2016

Would that I could, but sadly money's being a bit seldom at the moment. Cheering the project on, though!

angelightncg · July 2016

Sent the money down through for Cosmic Glory! This is a super cool idea and I couldn't really pass on this one.

I go by the handle @Angelight and the character I am using is the Cosmic Glory. I have her photos here.

If you need more information, there's also other references in her PRIMUS page but I think this should do it.

Cosmic Glory PRIMUS: http://primusdatabase.com/index.php?title=Cosmic_Glory

Though she has fire flight and could hover or do a land pose shot. She is the optimistic type which goes hand in hand with her powers so anything that looks pretty inspiring works.

biffsmackwell · July 2016

Awesome turnout so far! I'll post a picture of progress today. Thanks everyone, and keep 'em comin'!

deadman20 · July 2016

I'll try to send out payment and my submissions soon... as soon as I decide if I want more than Turando in there.

EDIT:

Payment has gone through and the links to screenshots have arrived! Let me know if you want them elsewhere. Also, yes. I would love to have individuals of them both.

Anatari
Turando

For Anatari:

She is a being of life and light powers, an avatar of godlike energy whose sole purpose is to empower and heal allies. As for personality, she tends to just follow her mission with an air of power, trying to encompass those she stands beside. She is also a flyer and gets a slight joy seeing her gifted power being put to grand use.

For Turando:

This one has many faces. One moment, he could be simply being compassionate yet serious, another seemingly joking and happy, and then next he's fierce and aggressive and out for blood. Since there wouldn't be any blood in the scene, we can disregard his feral attitude. I imagine he would look somewhat ready to act following the role of a Medic.

For additional reference, here's Alex Dai's commission of him, showing a bit of everything.

Yes, his coat is supposed to be entirely closed, but with the coat tail out.
His Nanite Sprayer/Medigun is standalone, meaning there is no backpack or external tubing with it.
Turando is somewhat athletic and can move relatively fast on the ground.

xcaligax · July 2016

Sent you money. I trust you as an artist to bring out the best of Caliga.

EDIT: You already know what I look like. So no need for me to post pictures.

And here's her in-game;

I would request to have her holding 2 Berreta M9s in any kinda cool pose you can think of. OH! btw, she is supposed to have that long ponytail i draw, ingame its short due to the LACK of a long ponytail ;_;

jerax1011 · July 2016

So totally in on this... paid and would like Bunni B.O.T. in the look below. Her iconic travel power is super jump, and any pose that a flirty merc would use is fine by me!! And for size reference she's just shy of 6' in height (not counting the ears lol)

ealford1985 · July 2016

Paid for two spots for....

@xparibax
Old Glory VII@captmoonlight

I just added you Par and Captain Glory. I will leave it up to you to post the pictures and how you want them both posed.

For Glory.

siphak · July 2016

She's a celestial/sorcery healer who uses the athletics travel power and wields a magical staff.

xparibax · July 2016

Ratty, Thats so kind of you! Thank you. Such a nice thought!

Here's one of Glory. I belive he has Acro and Superspeed. Maybe a classic hero-type pose- unassuming, standing with his arms crossed low over his hips? With a wee bit of a smile visible under his mask. He was always smiling.

I have to think of who I want

forutnefire · July 2016

Paid! Some epic flight pose in the rear or have him looking over from behind a building. Size matter

General Flare bio pic on primus database should work for a reference--don't forget arm wings. (click image in sig)

tazy · July 2016

I'll be paying for Exitus AND Sersay Swiftblade. Payment and pics coming in a few.

tazy · July 2016

Paid!

Exitus uses flight, obviously, being the angel with his own emotion and curiosity. Protective of humanity to the point of self sacrifice without a second thought, i'd at least suggest a protective gesture while in the air. I will let you decide what pose best conveys that.
Exitus as his original angel self is pretty big, about 11 ft. in height, but i imagine in the air it wont make much difference.

Exitus:

http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg287/SersayTroll/Exitus_zpsc9304223.png

Sersay Swiftblade is a bit more lax. I'd say you can have her standing as such, as no action besides a new shadows short sword hidden behind her back, since she's the stabby sort you cant trust. Athletics is her TP but honestly, not used much so no need to have her bouncing around. Sersay's ment to be around 6'4.
NOTE on Sersay...She typically has 6 horns, not 4. This particular outfit just has her side horns absent in place of side guard armor, her side set of horns use Rock spike side ACC in the same coloring as the other horns, please include them.

Sersay:

biffsmackwell · July 2016

Awesome, thanks, all of you! We're already at 29 characters (!!!) but I'll keep accepting submissions. I'll do two versions of the image if we go way over 30 characters. I'll do the 11x17 version with all the characters crammed in, and a larger version with all the characters with minimal overlap. I can also do an 11x17 version with just the first 30 characters... whatever you guys want!

I honestly didn't even know we'd reach the 30 character mark; I thought I'd be doing like 1 or 2 characters a day! You guys are great, and I thank you all kindly! I'll be posting a progress image tonight of inked characters.

warriordante24 · July 2016

Payment made! Character One is Jake, my Oc Power Ranger. He uses athletics and ninja leaves for TP, so either one works (his ability to turn invisible, hence being called Ghost Ranger). I was wondering if you could have him be half civilian and half ranger with a flying kick or just his arms crossed?

http://imgur.com/a/bBQ7t

The second character is Starblaze, she uses hardlight weapons, but you can draw her with or without her swords. She uses the jetpack TP

http://imgur.com/a/MtUVt

saburfang · July 2016

Oh, Biff, I did email you my second character; Geek, but I'm posting here as well just incase. I did make 2 payments to you. (Timothy Hodges)

Here's some screenshots of him.

http://i.imgur.com/qI6wY3j.jpg

I would request that he be posed just standing on the ground with his sword on his shoulder and his other hand on his waist

(I'm @saburfang)

bluhman · July 2016

doh I missed the population cutoff. Oh well I sent you money here have some funny pictures of this person:

Travel powers are Athletics and Hoverboard as seen on that bottom image.

biffsmackwell · July 2016

No problem on the character cutoff. I was hoping for 30 and expected much less. But you guys have been awesome only one day into it, so I will keep making the image larger to accommodate all participants. Submissions will be accepted until midnight on July 9, so keep 'em coming! Let's make this the most awesome gathering of Champions ever!

Tell your friends!

biffsmackwell · July 2016

@saburfang thanks for clearing that up! Been a hectic day and I think I kinda missed your post. Dumb me!

xparibax · July 2016

In the middle of all the hardcases and boiled shirts, I give you one tiny overly-happy Elf!
Could I have her in the Captain Smily-Face suit holding the helmet with a adorably dorky grin? Face visible, Pigtails. No backpack or wiffle bat needed- Unless you really wanna strap one on her? I'm not terribly fussy, so what ever you think looks good. She flies in game- but in character she walks, or rides on a bright pink vespa. Like Adam West Batgirl, but not so goofy looking.

Thanks Smacky!

Once again, Thank you Ratty!

xparibax · July 2016

Oh crumbs I forgot to add in Glory's post: he uses guns, dual pistols. If we're suposed to have more... action shot kind of thing?

biffsmackwell · July 2016

Hey everyone, I'm off to a rocky start. Everyone blame Ratty; I had problems coming up with a good pose for his character, and as you can see, I went with total ridiculousness for him.

Ratty, Bob, and Epelesker, please contact me regarding your characters; I have questions for y'all about poses and costumes and general biffery!

Also I'm aware of some problems in the picture like Razira's gigantic right fist of justice; these things will be fixed, and I encourage you guys to point out stuff like this that I don't notice. Thunks!

iamrune · July 2016

biffsmackwell said:
Hey guys, I'm going to do a (hopefully) big superhero group shot filled with characters from our community.

Paid.

Here are links of screens shots and reference pictures for my main hero, Rune, a Cosmic Bad **** with a very Captain Marvel / Quasar inspired "Marvel Cosmic Hero" tights look and theme. maybe a bit closer to Nova in powers, but fights mostly in melee with "Cosmic Energy Blades" [TK Blades power set in red, smaller strait blade shapes.]

Comic style art

A classic pose

An example of his Cosmic Energy Eyes [really ice eyes aura]

Reference on greenscreen with turnaround and profile.

He uses auras that give him a stary trail of white starpoint sparkles and a shadowed look in the deeper blue areas and shadows of his costume, not unlike the Cosmic Awareness special effect used on Captain Mar-vel and Quasar as seen here, except a few of the stars seem to trail out of his costume around him as a special effect.

Oops, Almost forgot.

He's only 5'9" and 220 lb.s or so, average height, but of course, in the super hero community that's probably going to make him look pretty tiny. He's quite buff but indeed has that 'triangular gym rat' sort of body rather than the more square 'real strong man' body.. he's more of an attractive Adonis body type that still looks flexible as well as strong and fit, rather than immensely powerful looking and broad [ although his powers of course, make him immensely powerful anyway.] He wears an easy smile most of the time and come cross as thoughtful and wise, but not always soft spoken, a cross between Giles [Of the Buffy TV show] Reed Richards and Indianna Jones in personality.

superjay01 · July 2016

Payment has been sent for both Billy Rizer and Luna Mars.

Billy Rizer is the Leader/General of the Planetary Defense Force, and a super soldier. A level-headed man in his mid 40's, with a look of determination, yet calm about him. Always has his 2 trusty custom tailored Desert Eagles in .50 Action Express at any given time on his person. Height: 6' 6'' tall. Muscular built. Athletic travel power, and R.A.D. sphere travel power.
For his pose, have him walking with his pistols on the ready towards the screen. One pointed towards the screen as aiming, the other as his waist (his is dominantly right-handed, so he would be aiming with the right pistol.)

Luna Mars looks like your typical human, but she is in fact an alien. A long tail protrudes from her backside, purple eyes, and an incredible power dwells within her. When she powers up, she ignites a bright green aura that surrounds her body. Athletic build, 6 foot tall. Travel powers are flight and athletics.
For her pose, have her in flight powering up.

FINAL!

Hey guys, here's the probably final update! Please look it over and if you notice any goofs like a character doesn't have shadows or someone has three eyes but they're supposed to have twelve, let me know!
