A DC Animated-style HeroMachine

Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine

 

Some time ago, someone posted an image of a character titled "Nut". It showed a woman armed with a spear who had a starfield for a body/costume. I really liked the visual effect, but found the image too small to use. Recently, I re-created the character using my own artwork. I present my version below.

The character is Fusor, a Galactic Champions era super. The basic idea is that prospector/planetary surveyor encountered a strange energy signal, discovering something called a "Star Seed." Said Star Seed bonded with the prospector and turned her into a biological fusion reactor. This is the result. I've made an 800-point character sheet and am still working on the backstory and other details.

 

So here's what I could come up with.

Awesome pic, Susano.

 

This turns out to be bloody difficult to properly create with Hero Machine 3. I'm still experimenting with using multiple starfield patterns, transparencies, and masking. Haven't got it right yet....

Yeah, you're looking at six layers in Photoshop, three of which are transparent masks in order to get the gradated colors placed correctly. Another is the starfield, and another is the original line drawing. Okay... five layers.

Fusor looks like she could almost be related to the character from The Algernon Files who has a

similar origin and appearance (I'm drawing a blank as to her name, and I don't know where my

copy of TAF is at right now, which means that I can't look it up).

 

 

 

Major Tom 2009 :confused:

 

All I have is AF: Fires of War, so I can't help you there.

That's OK, I lucked out this morning and found a color photocopy of the character; her name

is Onyx.

 

Oh, and for the record, "Fusor" is an actual astronomical term that's not yet been fully accepted.
