Description Because I un-deliberately started a small series, I figured I'd finish it, by drawing all three of my main OC's (as created in the costume creator in the City of Heroes game).  
Here are Mysterious Mike and Lucky Liam:
 

Tools:
Pencils: Derwent B pencil on A3 Fabriano drawing paper.
Digital coloring: Wacom Intuos 3 in Paint Shop Pro 9.

Those eyes!!  I'm not sure what I did but I'm sorry, I won't do it again!!

 Seriously her expression is great!  And the eyes intense!  Overall I think it's a great piece!

I like the freckles and that they're placed naturally and not in some perfect and pretty pattern...  

I think the hair is a bit off... Color wise, and it could just be since it's purple it's going to automatically seem a bit fake?  but I just don't think the hair is colored on par with the face.  Unfortunately I have no good tips on how to improve it.  It could also just be the face is so well done that I am being overly harsh on the hair...

hahaha!

I had fun with the freckles ^_^ Thanks Caemgen!

Aye, I agree on the hair part. Dee's hair has always been a struggle for me. I should have made her blonde. That would make it much easier in making it look natural
I will keep practicing. One day... I'll find a way!

Naw, I like the purple, it suits her!    I just think hair is easier when "normal" as the observer can fill in some mistakes or such automatically with expectations?

That is a good point.
The eye of the observer is always different per observer I suppose . (and I'm happy about that )

Dee's hair is supposed to be Pink though . (does look pink on all my screens)
Mike wears Blue, Dee wears Pink, and Liam wears a mix of those colors; Purple.

Pink.. Purple... they both begin with P!  

You know, I knew it was pink, I knew all the arts I've ever seen of her it is pink...  this piece though has an overall darker tone and though and standing on it's own it does look purple to me.  Throw it in with a bunch of other Darth arts though and it wouldn't look out of place, it would just be the darker tone.  *shrug*

You know... that color with a P .
Tomato Tomahto

I've always found it interesting to hear how people see colors.

Now I wonder though...I'm going to use you as a test subject for this one
If you see Liam and Dee next to each other... do you still see Dee's hair as purple?

*sidesteps the issue*  Magenta?!?  

In the line up you would definitely call her hair Pink...

Quite interesting! Thanks for being my test subject! ^_^

If my president has taught me one thing it is this:  Why answer if you can evade??  

Thinking on it, I think purple is just an odd and situational color...  By this I mean that as a hair color I would (and did) call this color purple.  If it had been a piece of clothing though I do not think I would have chosen purple.  Maybe I'd have actually gone with magenta or such, but as clothing purple should be... well, purple!  Like Royal Purple.  Yet if royal purple was used as a hair color I think I'd almost definitely refer to it as a dark blue or even blue/black... 

Hmm, then again maybe I'm just warped from my Punk Rock days in the mid eighties to nineties and who some of my friends called their hair colors...  *shrug*

Perhaps we should just conclude that it's a wig, which she wears as part of her super-disguise?  The perfect evenness of her bangs has always struck me as artificial.

Be Well!

A wig would fly off when she's using superspeed LOL.

The backstory is that she's a mutant, born with pink hair (aside from abilities of course). She was bullied a lot for it too, when she was younger and tried to fit in.
I blame the hairstyles CoH provided us with . Many of those didn't look natural to begin with .

Mike says he's honored with winning that trophy. He worked hard to get his hair just right for the occasion .

Just the right amount of Super Jumping around into a delicate cross-breeze I imagine?
