Monument Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 Re: Superhero Images Wow very nice. And having read the Elementals (The rhyme and verse issue w/Thor vs that demon woman and the fat, alien telekinetic was the coolist) I can say you did them justice.

Monument Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 Re: Superhero Images While I'm here, I ought to post something I just completed the other day. I've posted the black and white version of this piece in this thread before, and now here's the color version. The original had a few "speedlines" to denote motion. Here, I"ve erased those in favor of the backdrop. I found a picture of the New York skyline that was at a perfect angle for my needs, and motion blurred it. Looks pretty decent if I do say so! Very Ben Dunn-ish (did the cover of Red Doom for Champions as well as tons of stuff at Antartic Press and R Talsorian's Mekton). And being a fan of his I'd have to say this is very well 'Dunn' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you draw this freehand? Pretty good. I'm not a big fan of the anime style, but this one is nice. Excellent coloring job, too.

Wildcat Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 Re: Superhero Images Way back in about '86 or '87 there was a brief fad in the Champions group I was in for drawing the covers of the comics that our PCs were supposed to be appearing in. I'm not much of a draughtsman' date=' but I ground out a series of seven satirical covers for my battlesuit characer, Colonel Carnage. Here is number 7, to make those of you who can draw look good.[/quote'] Hey Agemegoes, that's not bad... I'd like to see the other issues 1-6.

Nyrath Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 Re: Superhero Images Well, here's my ancient Champions 3.0 character: Dr. Jurassic. Obviously a move-through artist, with extra levels of running and internal armor only usable vs move-through co-damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nyrath Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 Re: Superhero Images I actually managed to make a lead miniature for that character. I sawed the head off a charging ogre, glued on a frilled dragon head, and used tusks from an elephant as horns. Mangog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm debating as to whether the overall picture came out too dark, and whether to lighten it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkham Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 Re: Superhero Images I was inspired by the space pics in the Cool Images thread in NGD and decided to design a truely cosmic style character. I'm still getting the hand of the GIMP, but I think it is coming along better than Sr. Misterio some 40 pages back... Once again using Bruce Timm style templates, this time combined with the above space photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could use some white highlights following the contours. If I ever get some free time I'll play with it myself. You all probably know about this site already, but it has some useful tutorials for Adobe Photoshop for colorizing line art. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
