Title: New CPO
Post by: Kronos on February 06, 2007, 01:24:09 pm

Hi.. I am starting a new CPO and need to find a good background to start with... My idea is a Justice League themed CPO and CAB I have most of the pics I need but still have not come across anything to use as a background. Any suggestions would be appreciated :cheers:

What about something generic like this:  http://web.mit.edu/kayla/Public/Backgrounds/Space%20-%20Crab%20Nebula.jpeg?

That's very cool.  I like the combination of the geometric shapes and exploding spikes.  Fits well with a futuristic comic type theme.

FWIW, I don't think it's too dark.  I'm planning a dark blue blackdrop for my CP as well.

Would love to see this if you do it.  Make sure you feature Green Lantern(Hal, of course) as much as superman/batman though.

I prefer the John Stewert or Kyle Rainer versions but I could throw Hal in there also.. Maybe even a Duck Dodgers version also.. lol

ok.. here is another attempt.. any suggestions?  Be easy on me.. I know I left myself open for a kick with that comment.
This doesnt have buttons or Sticks.. just a graphic base.. rest to come later..

Where did you get the character art, also, I love the superman avatar, where did you get the superman artwork?

Well for starters some of your characters are transparent.  I personally don't like the background, it doesn't match the characters.  I would go back to your first background and maybe put the Watchtower in there as well.  Keep playing around you'll find something you like.
