@Suleman- I had a simular problem a few days ago trying to copy text from Deviantart to the forum (which I assume you tried as well). I got around it by copying the text into Word and then pasting the text from Word into the text section of the reply rather than the visual and then editing that post to add the images. Useful to know someone else has had this problem.
Thanks JR and Funkmachine! Glad to see you dig it.
This thread is eating my posts again, I’m afraid. I made a guide and posted it at Deviantart:

I tried posting it here but it disappeared after I edited it.
Look’s like she’s got a sting in her tail.
Crime boss and rampaging psychopath, Hornet.
Hornet was believed to have died over a year ago. After which, Vespa briefly adopted Hornet’s identity in order to lure out a number of Hornet’s shady allies. Vespa’s undercover mission was mostly successful until she was exposed as a fake.
In recent weeks though, there have been sightings of Hornet, seemingly alive and well and attempting to reestablish herself as a crime lord. Vespa has been dispatched to investigate the strange circumstances surrounding Hornet’s apparent resurrection and to stop her ascent to power.

Ok, so, where to start?
The pose is fantastic, really gives her a rogue-ish feel right from the start. The face is wonderful, the quizzical look coming across as both serious and a little playful. I love the little details you put into the costume, of course the shackles on her feet tying into the backstory, same with the neck scarf (which I assume hides a rather nasty scar). Of course I have to mention the shading. You’ve done that Candruth thing of doing such a good job that in places I can’t tell how much you’ve actually done. The shading on the skin is especially well done and using a blue highlight to contrast the black hair adds so much depth, great idea, it really works. You could have used a darker highlighting colour on the bottom of the skirt and maybe on the top, but that’s only nitpicking.
Brilliant job.
This is agent Magpie, one of the rebel leaders working against the rule of the evil Empress and her lady knights.
Due to what was probably a failed hanging, Magpie’s throat was badly injured and left her voice a croaking rasp. She doesn’t talk much, but she does organize sabotage, assassinations and just generally the kind of necessary dirty work that most rebels don’t want to think about. She runs a tight ship, though, and does not tolerate needless thuggery.
[quote=145277]I love her backstory (as I always do, you’re one of the best at them). Also, did her mother ever strike?[/quote]
Several times. The characters in Whisper’s story came about when I played Invictus in a roleplaying game set during his time in America. Whisper, Pulse and the rest where initially characters from his past but they popped up several times and I expanded on their backstory.
After the roleplay was done and Invictus was thought to be dead, I started writing a solo Whisper story with her mother as the main antagonist. Unfortunately, that was one of the many files I lost when my old computer died because past me was an idiot and never backed up the file. I haven’t gone back to it since then to finish it I’m afraid.
It took me quite a while, but here’s my take on your Anchor character. I wasn’t sure what kind of superpowers he has, if any, but I guessed he might be a heavy, strong kind of fellow.
I’m still not quite satisfied with it, but I cannot tweak it forever. The pose was really difficult and I couldn’t quite capture the sleazy quality of his face. Still, I hope you like it!
