Renee Byrnes Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 OzGeekGirl on DeviantArt:Artist Wanted:How'd you guys like to earn a quick buck? I'm looking for a comic book style portrait done of myself to satisfy the raging bonfire that is currently my sense of vanity and the raging hordes known as my fanbase. It'll get worldwide exposure on my website and total credit, plus whatever fee you and I think is fair.Rules:1) Nothing involving anime, tentacles or adult situations.2) My boobs are NOT the size of mountains so don't even try it. I'm slightly built with small curves here, people, so don't give me Babewatch bust and butt, mmm'kay?3) Mind the cleavage. My mum wants to see this.4) No robots or monsters. I hate them.Thanks!OzGeekGirl, Australia's prettiest novus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be happy to help you out! My style is pretty diverse which you can see for yourself on my artpage here. I'll warn you ahead of time to not mind all the monsters as they are sort of my specialty, but I am by no means limited to them...Check out the Heroes and Villains folder to get a look at some of my Vallejo inspired fantasy stuff and Powers that Be to see the more western style comic book pieces. If you like what you see, send me a PM and we can work out the details.Oh and Welcome to the boards! AA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titan Omega Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Adam couldn't help but feel excitement when his email popped up: "Welcome!" "You've got mail!"He opened his inbox: New Private Message on deviantART.After logging in to his account and reading her message, Adam quickly pulled his new Bondi-blue iMac's keyboard close in and began writing his response.Originally Posted By: ManhattanPhD@AOL.comHey there!Thanks for the high praise! I'm not working yet because I am still in school. One day though! How would you like to do this? I'm here in southern California and lack the means to travel Down Under. Perhaps if you took a picture in the proper pose and then explained what you liked I could take a stab at it? Of course I can show you pencil sketches and whatnot along the way to make sure you will be totally satisfied with the final product. Um...how much were you offering?Best,Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renee Byrnes Posted August 13, 2008 Author Share Posted August 13, 2008 From ozgeekgirl02@...:Re: ArtworkAdam,I'm offering USD$100 for a full colour picture. Sound good? Here's the various photos of me in all positions I can think of; none of them are sexy or dirty. Hope they're useful!Thanks,Renee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titan Omega Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Adam looked at the collection of pencils he had just finished. Various costume designs that were tasteful yet appealing and in a variety of poses and layouts. He scanned them one by one into his Mac and opened his email program.Originally Posted By: ManhattanPhD@AOL.comHere are some initial layout sketches for you to look over. 3 and 5 are my personal favorites but it's up to you. You also haven't said much about your powers so I'm not sure what to do with the background elements yet and if you sport any kind of aura or anima.Oh, and other great news! I'm going to be in London this weekend with the family so I thought it would be good to meet up in person. It's always good to have that immediate feedback and it will speed up the project. What do you think?Fee sounds good. If I do a small print run they are going to be instant collectors items...I thought maybe we could auction them and split the profits. Let me know!Best,AdamSatisfied with his work and his missive, Adam punched Send. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renee Byrnes Posted August 15, 2008 Author Share Posted August 15, 2008 Renee laughed and typed in a quick reply.Originally Posted By: ozgeekgirl@ Adam, 5 looks brilliant! I'm a telepath and superhuman genius; bit cliched, I know, but I like my powers. I'm in London working with Aeon at the moment to understand my abilities. I can get a few hours off on Saturday. I'll see you then?Renee,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titan Omega Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Uh-oh! Adam thought as he typed in his response. A telepath could wreck his cover! Hopefully his demeanor would be enough to keep her from prying...Originally Posted By: ManhattanPhD@AOL.comHmmm...a telepath eh? Supergenius you say? Unless you display an outward anima those don't translate well to action poses, which is what I have been drawing. Maybe a lab scene, surrounded by gadgets and automata? Also we need to give some thought to your costume. Guess that means you are getting two services in one yeah? In any case, let's meet up in Thames Park, by the garden. I'll be wearing my favorite Wolverine T-Shirt and a green backback.Adam*********************Saturday, 4/18/08, 2:00 PM GMTAdam stood somewhat nervously near the entrance into London's newest park, his back turned to the water as he sketched the fanciful horticultural shapes of the "Green Dock." In his backpack were his sketchpad, utensils and about 3 dozen concept skectches to share with Renee. After pacing for a bit, he sat down on a bench, keeping his eyes out for the beautiful and famous Nova. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renee Byrnes Posted August 19, 2008 Author Share Posted August 19, 2008 The murmuring of a crowd preceded Renee Byrnes' actual arrival as people pointed and stared at the young Australian woman. When she finally appeared, rounding around the shaped bushes, the graceful movements of her body and the intensity of her sky-blue eyes were the first things noticeable about her. She wore a pair of denim jeans and a tight-fitting, long-sleeved grey top, sunglasses pushing her shoulder-length blonde hair out of her very pretty face. Renee walked over to the young artist and offered a hand with a broad smile. "G'day, mate," she greeted in a broad Australian accent. "You'd be Adam?"

Titan Omega Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Wow! Adam thought as the beautiful Novus approached him. She was easily as gorgeous as his girlfriend back home, a thought that was not lost on his newly teenaged mind. In fact, as Adam turned to greet her, Renee was surprised to see how young he actually was...apparently "still in school" meant a frosh in High School, not Art School..."G'day yerself!" Adam replied, unable to keep himself from smiling. "Yep, that's me!" he added warmly, extending his hand to hers. He was equaly as handsome and charming as she was striking and appealing, with flaxen blond hair and sparkling blue eys matching her own in intelligence. Though he seemed to have no awareness of the fact, he was destined to be a heratthrob...in about two or three years."Great to meet my first novus..and as a client to boot!" he joked easily. "How is it with that whole W.H.O. business they have all of you running off to? It's been all over the news but they have been pretty light on the actual details...um, or does that mean it's classified?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renee Byrnes Posted August 19, 2008 Author Share Posted August 19, 2008 "Hardly classified," Renee answered, glad she'd dressed to meet a teenager instead of a young man. "It's basically a bunch of testing."She tilted her head to the side, vivid eyes resting on Adam's face. "Dude, if you're this good this young, Marvel and the rest are gonna snap you up when you hit eighteen." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titan Omega Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Adam blushed rather conspicuously at her compliment and tried in vain to hide it by looking down to his backpack and rummaging for his notepad."Eh, thanks, I mean, yeah I really hope so. That would be awesome! And with Image paving the way for creator rights, I could actually build a career. The idea as I see it now, would be to cut my teeth and get some cred working on the existing properties. Pay my dues first yanno? Then get into my own stuff. It would be so rad to work with Ennis or Moore or even to try my own hand at writing.""So..." he segued the conversation away from himself..."did you have any thoughts about the ideas I put in the last email?"

Renee Byrnes Posted August 31, 2008 Author Share Posted August 31, 2008 Renee nodded. "I'm super-smart, but not science-smart - think Savant from Wildstorm," she explained cheerfully, trusting the kid would know who she was referring to. "The computer powers and telepathy seem to be some kind of information thing. How about a big library scene?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titan Omega Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 "I think that's going in the right direction, but it needs to "pop" off the page. A Library isn't exactly the most exciting scene, though I'm sure you would make anything look good...uh...I mean..."He blushes, having gotten a bit flustered."You're telling me all of your abilities are internal. What we need is an outward manifestation of that inner power. Hmmm...Can you speed read? Maybe several books at once? That's it! That gives me a great idea! Could you do that?"He waits eagerly for her answer, obviously excited about a possible image that just popped into his mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renee Byrnes Posted September 5, 2008 Author Share Posted September 5, 2008 Renee chuckled. "Not only can I speed read a book, I can manipulate a computer at the same time. My library idea was inspired by a picture of Savant from Wildstorm..." She paused. "Which is a bit too risque for you. But what's your idea?"

Titan Omega Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 "Perfect!"He grabs a pencil from his case and starts sketching animatedly. Within 2 minutes he turns the page over to her so she can see his work. He has done a rough contour drawing, in storyboard style showing the pose and layout he had in mind. She can see the figure representing her seated on a stool. In front of her but behind from the viewers perspective, is a bank of several computer screens, as if taken from the batcave itself. Beneath the screens are several tiers of books with auotmated page turning devices. Several books have pages that appear to have been captured mid turn...several pages at once. All around her are banks of servers and floor to ceiling shelves of books. The result is a setting that sems both posh old world and information age tech combined into a single sleek look. She is twisting around toward the viewer, as if greeting someone who has just entered the room. The pose is sexy but tasteful,showing her lithe torso from behind, part of her shapely top from the side and a friendly welcoming smile on her face. Overall the effect is reminiscent of early classic pinup art, emphasizing line and beauty without showing much skin. The sketch itself is already incredibly detailed and clean, and would be worth a great deal to some collector. Renee is sure that the colored final piece would look even better.She only has a few brief moments to look it over and reply before the two of them are startled by a loud scream of terror coming from further down the waterfront...
