Acyl Art (Update: C.Flame, Space/Marcus)

This is very technically off-topic for the forum, because this isn't a CoH character. This is, however, one of my favourite RP characters, and I've toyed with making a CoH version (well, CoV, since she's a villain).
This is also an experiment. First off, the original drawing isn't mine. This is an inked and coloured version of someone else's pencils - this sketch by my old buddy CaitSith4. Dude threw it to me yesterday as random gift art (ain't that ironic? my chance to go squee-ART!!!). He was cool with me messing with it. I also wanted to try out some PhotoShop colouring techniques courtesy of another friend, A.Germain (AG: "ur doin it wrong").
So: Riko Koganei

I've considered rolling a version of her as an Elec Melee stalker...yes, she's an urban electric ninja. In a yellow raincoat. Her fighting style is really impossible to simulate in-game, but her powerset is now properly doable thanks to powerset proliferation.
I'm not sure how well she'd work out in CoH RP, given that there's about a snowball's chance in hell her partner in crime will turn up here - Seishirou Ryouhara, played by the guy who drew the original lineart for this picture. The two characters are a paired set, but Seishirou's player doesn't have much interest in pay-to-play MMOs. Still, it might be worth trying as a challenge...to see if the persona really can stand on her own.
This diversion aside, I'm still working on the requested pieces. This was just...actually a whole lot easier to do, and I needed a change. Working with someone else's lineart is fun stuff - I might vandalize more of my friend's sketches. =)
