drrushing Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 Latest pic It's been a while since I've posted a pic, but I've been experimenting with different styles. This is my attempt at anime/manga.....no I don't know the difference....anyway...this is Inspector Chase..aka Bombshell...some of you may remember a pic I posted a long time ago......Chase is an NPC in my Herocentral campaign. As always, a simple pencil and ink drawing, colored with Berol Prismicolors. Sorry, that really was a huge pic, hope this is better...

freakboy6117 Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 Re: Latest pic drrushing could you make the image a little smaller, it's kind of hard to appeaciate when you can't fit her all on the screen at once. she looks good though i really like her boots, i can see why shes called bomb shell she certainly seems to be hiding some serious ordinance under her top.

Guest bblackmoor Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 Re: Superhero Images I looked at HeroMachine' date=' and it's okay, but I have a shapeshifting character, a brick who can also manifest tentacles / pseudopods as Extra Limbs. I'd like to incorporate a couple of these into an image and not have it look like my daughter drew it. HeroMachine doesn't appear to allow that. Any suggestions?[/quote'] I am working on a program which will work like a "paper dolls' program, similar to Hero Machine, but which creates standard SVG files, so that the vector drawing can be customized as much as you like. It is in the very early planning stages, but any help I can get would be appreciated, particularly in drawing the various costume pieces.

Guest bblackmoor Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 Re: Superhero Images A while back I created an online gallery for people who run out of room here on the Hero Boards. I have replaced that with a forum with image upload capability. The XHTML is horrific: not valid at all, much less standards compliant. I will have to go back and fix that all later. But for now it works, and you can put your images there. http://www.rpglibrary.org/forum/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bblackmoor Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 Re: Superhero Images You can try uploading it to this URL, http://www.rpglibrary.org/forum/ , and linking to the image with an IMG tag. It would be nice (but not required) if you would add the same description text to it there as you do here. Enforcer84 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RL I think that there is a size limit on a single attachment, but I can't remember what it was. That is probably what is causing the headache.

Richard Logue Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 The Round Table This is the premier civilian British team in my superhero campaigns. They've been running around since my old DC Heroes (by Mayfair Games) days in the ealry 90's, and they've since carried over into my latest Champions (HERO Games) campaign. Well over a year ago, I began commissioning comic book artist Ian Sokoliwski, among others, to create the visuals of many of my character ideas. The most recent picture is my Round Table. Defender. As in Defender of the Faith. Several years ago, he came onto the scene calling himself Champion and wielding, what he claims was, the legendary sword Excalibur. It caused quite a stir in the media and Parliament. After several public appearances, he was invited to Buckingham to meet with the Queen in a private conversation. Afterward, she verified the validity of the sword, bestowed knighthood on him, and granted him certain rights as Defender of the Faith. A set of power armor was commissioned from the American gadgeteer Machina. He eventually became a member of the Round Table, where he currently serve as its chairman. Black Knight. A former member of Her Majesty's Secret Service, MI-6, Black Knight is the Round Table's most subtle operative. He is their information man. He is a highly skilled and competent individual and knows his way around weapons, security, and stealth techniques. He maintains many of his contacts from MI-6 including a technician who often outfits him with experimental gadgets. Sidhe. She is a sorceress who specializes in Fey magicks. She is highly knowledgeable of British legends and it is said that she spent some time in the fey lands. She's made a study of Defender's sword to some very interesting conclusions. She is also highly versed in nature and druidic magic. She has a keen, albeit professional, interest in Defender and has become Merlin to his Arthur. (Points for you if you recognize the image. It is a character drawing done by Storn and can be seen on his website here as Beacon: Storn's website. This first time I saw it I knew it was perfect for Sidhe. Thanks, Storn!) Citadel. Citadel is a basic brick sort of character. He has great strength and stamina. His skin hardens and becomes stony to the touch and greyish in appearance when he changes into his adventuring form. he is a powerhouse of a hero and tops 7' in his stone-form. he briefly considered calling himself Stonehenge, but his mum convinced him otherwise. Bulldog. He is the third person to call himself by the name Bulldog. The first was a British man during World War 2. The second was the Silver Age American hero belonging to the group the Vindicators. One thing all three have in common is their fighting prowess. Bulldog is a hand-to-hand combatant through and through. He is aided by a limited ability to become more dense and stronger, but this only adds power to his already impressive skills in martial arts. Being a patriotic Scotsman, he has fashioned his costume in the flavor of the Scottish national flag with the inclusion of the rampant lion emblem of the Scottish royal flag. I had Ian do the picture as a scene from their comic book. Its a two-page spread n the fashion of a title page introducing a new storyline. The scene takes place, obviously, in their war room at their base. On the back wall, you can see several portraits of former members of the Round Table. In the center of the table is a holographic device they use to project points of interest in their discussions. In this case, Black Knight is using it to show the others what the villain Witch Hunter looks like. He is referencing the Prometheus Files, a collection of data about metacriminals stored by the Prometheus Corporation who runs two metahuman prisons. On the whole, I like the way the picture turned out. And I am glad to finally, after years of simple descriptions, have something to show my players when I use the Round Table in a storyline. More of Ian's work, including other pics I've commissioned from him, can be found at his website here: Ian's website Edit: This is the link to my gallery at comicartfans.com. Here's where I'll be putting anything I commission from Ian or Storn or anyone else. Sorry about all that! The Round Table Enjoy!

Richard Logue Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 Re: Superhero Images Now I know what I'm doing wrong. It was explained to me. The pic I have is in cmyk format. And the message board oesn't like that. I've converted it to rgb. But the size constraints here make the image too small to look as good as it really does. So I uploaded it to comicartfans.com into my gallery. I've put the link for it in my original post. Now enjoy! RL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
