Re: [CHAR] Cowboy I like the character OzMike. Reminds me of a PC in my game, Blue Bulleteer who has a pair of pistols that shot spirit bullets. He's a pulp era hero who doesn't get to see much action in the modern day, though some say the Ghost Ranger is the restless spirit of the Blue Bulleteer who comes to the aid of those that require justice when none other hears their cries. I need to draw those guys I think. Cheers.

Re: MancerBear's Art Den Spidey88, I didn't really base the lizardman on anyone carnosaur, but took inspiration from several different ones, namely the t-rex and Dionunchys (sp?). As promised, here we are again with some more illustrations for Digital Hero, this time, Issue 43 which should be released fairly soon. First we have the Cat Next is probably my favorite pic of this lot, Ice Breaker This next character Slingshot proved to be a real bugger to draw. I had to do 4 drafts to get him right, but I think I finally got it. Lastly we have 3 minor NPCs Digital Hero can be picked up HERE Cheers,

Re: MancerBear's Art Den And a big responsiblilty it is too. I certainly hope I do the infamous Foxbat the justice he deserves! I've just finished penciling the last villain for Digital Hero 43, and as I stated in an earlier post, he was a hard one to come down for some reason. I'll have him inked up early tomorrow morning and off to Dave by lunchtime. Cheers,

Re: MancerBear's Art Den Glad you like the images OzMike As promised, here are a few more images from Digital Hero, these ones from Issue 42. First off we have a martial artist called Le Vert. Next, we have the nasty piece of work known as Dr Sven Schartten. And lastly here's Pyre, a rather tragic individual. All of these characters can be found in Digital Hero 42, and well worth the read. Now, I need to go back and finish work on the illustrations for the latest issue of Digital Hero... one of the villains is giving me a hard time getting down on paper... About what I'd expect for a villain too. Probably doesn't want his image captures Cheers,

Re: Etrigan's Arts Etrigan, I found the colouring to be brave. That shade of fushia on a superhero's cpae is indded a bold step. I would not say that it was "beurk" though As for Etrigan's cloak pin, I'd eitheir make it much more obvious (with a nice strong glow and very relfective), or I'd get rid of it completely. And thanks for the well wishes too Cheers,

Re: MancerBear's Art Den Okay, Here we have some Digital hero images I promised. These ones come from issue 41, which is the first issue I worked on (I should be inking some illustrations for the issue 43. but it's Good Friday and I'm taking a break ) Okay, we'll start of with the cover. A touch of an explanation. The hero on this issue is based off the original Crusader. I figured he was a bit batmanish, so why not have a Crusader Girl? She was easy to draw, the costumed was pretty much designed, and I used the costume worn by Yvonne Craig in the 1960s Batman series as a colour base. The dude she's knocking the stuffing out of is Pulsar The next four images are form the magazine itself. I won't go into any detail regarding them as they are really well described in the issue. Hope you like them. If you do, and you haven't picked up issue 41 of Digital Hero, go ahead and grab it, it's worth the read. Next post will include the illustrations I did for issue 42, and after that a preview of the illustrations for issue 43. Cheers,

Re: Etrigan's Arts Well well well, who do we have here? How are ya Etrigan? Good to see you on these boards as well mate. Cheers,

Re: MancerBear's Art Den No problems aylwin13. The source book will be for the Mutants & Masterminds system under the M&M Superlink program at the moment. I would like it to be dual statted for Champions as well, but I'm not quite sure how that will go about (primarily cause I'm not sure how Hero Games deals with other companies using thier IP). It's not something I've looked too deeply into, admittedly, but what I might do is release conversions for Champions on my website once the sourcebook is out. Cheers,

Re: MancerBear's Art Den

Re: MancerBear's Art Den Guys, Thanks very much for the comments I really appreciate them. Now, I'll post a few images of the characters from my game; the New Watch, First off we have my Wonder Woman homage, Andromeda, who hails from the hidden island of Phaeacia. She arrived in the outside world in WWII and has remained ever since. Next we have Aquanaut who designed and built his own power suit. A Tritonean environmental activist and self proclaimed Protector of the 7 Seas, he is obviously an Aquaman homage. Kid Rush is the inheritor of the Rush Legacy, a family of heroes that have bore the title of Rush or Kid Rush since WWII. Unusually, he is a short man with a very developed muscualr frame, unlike other speedsters that tend to be tall and lithe. He is a Flash homage. Mindblaze is the teams mentalist, and tends to hold himself a little aloof form the others. With his telepathy and telekineses, he is a bit of a Martian Manhunter homage. Next is the Titanium Wonder, Outsider, an alien who has been on earth for millions of years, he suffers a form of amnesia that only allows him to remember the last 15 years of his life. He is slowly discovering his origin in the game. He is a Superman homage. Sentry is the teams gadgeteer and over all tech guy. His body in infused with nanites, allowing him to form all sorts of technical wonders out of his body. He fears, and perhaps rightfully so, that he is no longer human. He is an Iron Man homage. The teams leader and all round partiotic good guy, is Sovereign. Recipient of the Paragon Serum, he was Australia's "first" officially recognised superhero in WWII. The serum has not only given him superhuman strength and resilience, but it has also increased his lifespan by an unkown amount. he is obviously a Captain America Homage And lastly we have Talabar, who is possessed of a Tasmanian Devel spirit from the Dreamtime. Comical and a little slow, he is a Beast homage. These guys form my world's premier superhero team, though there are other teams out there. They are very much in the JLA style of things, which is alot of fun to play.

Re: MancerBear's Art Den Thaks very much DocSampson Cheers,

Re: MancerBear's Art Den Thanks for the welcome aylwin13. I'm more than happy to post my works here for all to enjoy. Cheers,

G'day there Guys n Gals, I thought it was about time that I started up an art thread here on the Hero Games message board. I used to play Champions years ago, until I was lured away by Mutant's & Mastermind, but the Champions Universe still holds a polace in my heart. I'll start off with a few new commisions for you. Unfortunately, I don't know how to do the thumbnail thing, so you'll have to bear with me. First we have a commission for AslanC. He provided me alot of reference for this character, so with no further ado, here's Lady America Next we have a commission for Novac, who has bought a few commissions from me now. Here's his character Edge. Lastly, so I don't hog too much bandwidth, is this is a piece for DangerMaus, his teen hero Lockdown. I really enjoyed doing this piece. I'm available for commissions currently, and you can see more of my work in Digital Hero, products by Protocol Zero Productions, and a few others. Cheers,

Re: Daily Superhero Art Findings...

Re: Daily Superhero Art Findings... G'day Guys, Only just been pointed to this site, and thought I'd add a few of my own images. These are from my own game and are all player characters except for one. Andromeda, Kid Rush Talabar, And finally Midknight. Cheers, MancerBear
