A DC Animated-style HeroMachine

Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine

 

I recently had this idea for a super villain group called Avanguardia Rosa or the Red Vanguard. Avanguardia Rosa is the super-human arm of the Italian terrorist group the Red Brigade. Here's a drawing of one of it's members. I'm not entirely in love with the drawing, but I might keep it.

Other favorites include:

 

The Brown Hornet (hi-tech fast-flying thug. nice addition to any random villain team up)

and Golden Gladiator (load-mouthed Brick who can never turn down a challenge; likes to temporarily blind opponents with the glare off his golden armor):

The mysterious "Number Men" are a recent addition to our campaign. the "4s" are generic shock troopers/agents. The "3s" are larger and in green and white armor and specialize in "anti-hero" weaponry. The "2s" are field commanders (purple & white), and Number 1 (black & white) is their leader (power-armored). They are Mercenaries who hire out as a highly trained and well-equipped private army. When regular thugs just won't cut it, called the Number Men:

Graver is my twist on the density-control brick. He's a pro-wrestler who was murdered by the mob but the "Spirits of Vengeance" have given him the power to protect the weak from beyond the grave. He usually floats around as a ghost (Desolid), all green and glowy (when seen), but can assume a form of living tombstone (density increase) when the weak are threatened.

[yes, he's the ugly love child of Dead-man (DC) and the Vision (Marvel)]:

Spy-by-Night. Chaz Winslow is an account manager at a photo copy supply company by day and a cat-burgling, knife-throwing, Spy by night. He has no powers but he's nimble and a master planner. He hates his life and became a villain for hire to break the monotony.

Glue is every mastermind's best friend. Glue wants nothing more than to please his master and be rewarded. Unfortunately his power is a bit messy (however effective) and he tends leave a sticky trail around even the most non-stick hideouts. Glue can stick himself to anything and he hurl balls of his ... um ....coating ....to ensnare his enemies.

Art-wise: to me he works on a "less-is-more" level.

It seemed like folks were doing a lot of dragon-themed themed characters, so here a simple alien overload/gladiator villain I made. I thought adding the scale texture to the circle made a nice gem effect for his belt. And the Mohawk makes a passable head-fin.

I just uploaded some superhero images (by artists other than myself) onto my profile page. I can't get either HeroMachine or Fabrica to work quite right on these borrowed computers (library restrictions and all that), but I do wonder how well anyone could come to drawing some of those characters using those things.

These things are addictive and if you play around with it for hours and hours, sometimes you might be so lucky to get a useful result!:D

This is an outstanding concept for a comic book villain organization. You deserve Rep (which I'm sure you'll already have plenty of, once you get your post count up to 50) for this. Alas, I can't do it at the moment....

Overall I like the Hunter of Souls. He has the feel of an updated Hades/Pluto from greek/roman mythology ("lord of the dead" and stuff). I really like the "skull masks as knee caps" idea. Nice non-standard use of the tools.

 

That said, I for some reason find his lack of ears and eye-brows disturbing. It gnaws at me. There's a lot of emotion and menace in a nice pair of eye-brows.
