I’ve been a fan of BE and FMG for quite some time now, and I’ve been collecting the stuff for as long as I’ve had a regular internet access. Over the years I’ve joined various websites, browsed numerous forums and commissioned different artists. Like many people here, I probably spent an appalling amount of time simply browsing the web, looking for new material… and regrettably for those other More-Important-Things-To-Do-In-Life^TM, I’m still doing so.

In the last few months I’ve been reflecting on how I have been supporting the community. Since I have no real artistic talent, nor the time or the patience to develop them, the only way I found to contribute was through commissioned artwork. Now while it isn’t a bad initiative, Trilliwig made me realise today how selfish I was, when he decided to partake with a commission of his own. Through his own generosity, I realised that not all artists get commissioned and that not all active contributors can afford to pay a monthly fee for some exclusive material.

So I decided to do the same, to contribute in a different way and share with you all a thing or two about a favourite character of mine: Veldt.

Now some of you may have seen some of this stuff before, but I’m pretty sure no one has seen it all. Hopefully, some of you will like it. So sit back, take a look… and right-click and save. 😉

This is the first commission I ordered for Veldt. The artist behind MMOART.com was also a CoH player and many of his early public work had been ordered by other fellow players. This was technically the only souvenir I was supposed to order for this character, but I guess that when you start, one isn’t enough.

Although a nice piece, the colors were a bit off. This was my fault really, as my monitor as the time was dying without me realising it. The colors looked fine on my side of the screenshots, but certainly not when I finally received the final product! Oh well. 😛

The design was supposed to represent her in full hero-costume and show to the viewer both sides of her nature: her human side, and the alien entity she harboured in herself and which gave her her powers.

More to come…

The first commission I ordered from Reiq, this one actually ended up being done twice. The original version portrayed a slimmer Veldt, with smaller breasts and a definite lack of details in her leg muscles. We ended up talking a bit about the character, so that he could get a better grasp of how I envisioned her.

The final result was this piece of artwork. She wasn’t as athletic as I would have liked to see her, but I was rather pleased with the overall design and with the coloring.

Next: Cleavage! ;D

… Cashews, is that you?  Heh, it's funny, I was just asking FMF about the Veldt commission he displays as a sample, and if he had done any more sequences in that vein.

You remind me of myself so strongly, it scares me. 😛

I applaud your generosity, though really, seeing the personal nature of this character, I would more than understand if you chose not to share her.  I certainly didn't think less of you for that.  Your money is yours to spend as you please.  Still, art is meant to be viewed, and the community is always enriched by more voices. 😉

Now it's my turn to thank you for posting!  More of Reiq's art please. 😀

Yah, that's me. I had to get rid of the Cashews personae a few months ago as I was having privacy issues with it. A pity since I had been using it for years. :-

As for more from FMF, there is indeed. The sample he posted on his site is actually the original sequence he did for me. I went back to him a few months after, to add some more details and fill a few gaps. Don't worry, you'll see the whole thing pretty soon.

Well she is a very personal character. I designed her at a time in my life when everything was going wrong. And because of that, I'm going to torture you with some 'details' and some 'explanations' instead fo just posting pics of her. 😉

But as you said, art is meant to be viewed. And while my money is my money, I have about 4 gigs of BE and FMG on my hard drive. I didn't pay for all of that. Some I got by subscribing to various websites over the years and some just ended being made available by valuable contributors.

Sharing some of this stuff, some of my Veldt, is just my way of giving back a little.

If someone doesn't like the artwork or the character, I don't really care. But if someone does love the artwork, does love the character, then my job's done.

Oops… I guess I shouldn't have brought it up here.  Sorry to hear about your troubles there.  Pity I can't edit my previous messages anymore.  😛

"Torture" me with details and explanations?  Ha. I think any backstory, as long as it's more than half-assed, enriches artwork. 😉

Considering the context of the game she was originally designed for, Veldt came with her own set of super powers. What’s a superhero without them after all? In time her concept evolved further and the nature of her powers came into its own.

I decided that Veldt’s powers came, not from herself, but from an entity she harboured in her body. Constantly at war with this demon, she had an almost Hulk-like relationship with it: the constant fear of losing control to it, the denial of its urges, yet the desire to use its power for a greater purpose. While they were always wrestling for control, Veldt couldn’t deny the appeal the power it offered had over her, nor the near lustful desire she had of having the demon unleashed itself through her body.

Of course, considering my predilections for BE and FMG, such unleashing was reason for concerns of… growing proportions. And since Reiq’s wasn’t really into muscles, I had to settle for the next best thing: gloriously large boobies. ;D

Thank you for sharing the barely contained power of Miss Veldt.

What was her particular class and archetype when was first given her look in City OF Heroes. Does she have an arch foe developed in City OF Villains?

The pictures are cosmically enriched teasing and appreciated.

Glad you like them Snow. 😉
