Soul Calendar - John Becaro

Featured Artist - Russ Platt

Commissions of my characters, as drawn by the ultracool Russ Platt :iconrplatt:

Most are black and white, but some have been colored by other artists.

Soul Train

Artwork of my "Main" heroine in City of Heroes.

Soul is in no way affiliated with the musical variety TV show of the same name... altho' she does like R&B, and thinks Don Cornelius is hawt.

:bulletblue: ABOUT MY OC'S :bulletblue:

I come up with characters all the time, usually whilst playing my favorite MMO game(s). Granted, I TRY to stay away from trademarks and such, but, in the case of my main, well... she's a Don Cornelius fan.

That said... Soul Train the character is in no way affiliated with, endorsed by, or derivative of the TV musical review show of the same name.



ABOUT THIS GALLERY

This is a compilation of my feeble attempts at 3D artwork, perhaps with some inking or coloring that turns out half-decent, my written stories, and my purchased commissions and gift art of my City of Heroes / Villains characters, all done by other artists.

For more information on City of Heroes, go to the COH Official Website: [link]

The CSS template is courtesy IcyWorlds.net - [link]
Background image is "Soul Train" by Naughty-KittyKitty (resized, reversed, color-adjusted, and other post-production tweaks applied in Macromedia Fireworks 4 by yours truly).



All right, this is a travesty.

One of my favorite bands is Supreme Beings of Leisure. [link]

So, I get the urge to see if anyone has done fanwork of this band, or even of the bandmembers Geri Soriano-Lightwood or Ramin Sakurai. No dice.

So... I propose a jam.

Look up the band if you're not familiar with them, listen to a few songs, watch some of their vids... and then render either Geri, Ramin, or both.



P.S. In the interest of not pissing off the band (who both have families) let's not do anything TOO risque.

LOOKING FOR NEW MATERIAL?

I've uploaded a few character references and linked them to the journal above. Please, if you use my characters in your artwork, I'd appreciate a link to it. Thanks.

Paid and Waiting:
:iconnaughty-kittykitty: :icondvntgrafx:

I would recommend any and all of these folks. Some are good at one type, some at another, some pull rabbits out of hats when you least expect them to. And some are up-and-coming stars that you cannot afford to miss. Browse some galleries, folks!! You will find something you like. Hey, buy some prints while you're at it. Most have commission info posted in journals, or will gladly explain to you their commission terms if you send them a note.

(Artists! If I've paid you for art, and you're not here... drop me a note, I'll put you in the rogues gallery.)

In Limbo (these artists seem to have disappeared):

GIFT ART

I can't thank these folks enough. New pictures of my characters always bring a smile to my face. I don't care if your artwork is the type stuck on the fridge... if you like my character concepts enough to try and draw them, you're cool with me. :)

If you've drawn gift-art for me, and don't see yourself listed, please, send me a note with a link to the deviation (your gallery or mine!) and I'll make sure you get credit!

Critiques

by *Juggertha

Wow! OK, this is really well executed. The focal 'foreshortening' is an interesting technique, thinking it might be a little...
