Astro-Man was also a member of The Tomorrow Squad for awhile, but realized he had a higher purpose

That is definitely one of their inspirations. A little Challengers of the Unknown in there as well. They're supposed to be heroes who exist between the Golden & Silver ages of heroes Here's what will be the cover art for this (whenever I get off my butt and write it)

Some new material from Dan Houser, who is the line artist for ICONS. Here is the Tomorrow Squad: Doc Tomorrow, Astral Girl, Beacon & Quartz:

A pair of new pieces from Joe Singleton. This is The Hierophant, the head of the Church of Cosmic Transcendence, and ruler of The Theocracy: Combat troops of the Theocracy:

Here's a color composite of the group:

This is the Combat trooper for MIDIAN, an organization based in the Middle East. Considered a terrorist group, they strive to recreate the ancient kingdom of Midian: This is Bloodwolf, also known as Zeeb. He was a prince of ancient Midian. He was supposedly slain during the Time of Judges, but was saved by the gods. He is able to turn into a reddish liquid form.

Here is the Japanese villain, Ultra Spectre X. Think a villainous Ultraman type. Major Miracle is a Golden Age Italian hero. His inspiration was Red Rube, a Captain Marvel knock-off from the 40's, Threw in a little of Cap himself as well

I haven't posted anything in awhile, since I quit Photobucket over their recent move to screwing over users. Anyway, here's some new pieces from Juan Paolo. First up is Strigoi, the leader of a group called Tyranny, Inc. The image is based on a head bust done by another artist named James Sheilds: This is The Blood Guard, Tyranny Inc's elite combat troops:

These are all characters who are going to be in supplements I'm writing for a different system. I might do Champions versions eventually for release (I had talked to Jason at GenCon after the private Strike Force session I played in from that KS, and he was open for setting me up with a license for HERO), but for now, I'm doing them for other game systems. I just like sharing the art on different forums, as it sometimes drums up more work for the artists who do commissions for me

Another composite: The Plague Doctor looking Vigilante I posted earlier, with a second one, and some stock art of steampunk/clockwork inspired spy drones in the middle: This is Faye Tality, assassin for hire:

Been awhile since I posted anything here. Got some new stuff to share. A couple of composite images from a bunch of commissions. I found a group of villains on the public domain wiki called the Black Ace Gang. They fought Captain Marvel Jr. Non-powered, kind of cheesy but violent bank robbers. As a fan of the Royal Flush Gang, I saw potential in the concept. So, thanks to the magic of Joe Singleton, here is a modern update of this group. From left to right is Black Ace, Queen of Hearts, Jack of Diamonds and the King of Clubs A long time ago, I was a player in a Champions campaign run by my friend Curt Fernlund. He was an artist, and drew all our characters and the villains we faced. Once he was done with villains, he would pass them onto me. I saved them, and with his permission, have been adapting/updating them. This is Luna, an organization we faced. They were led by Khonshu, the Egyptian god. I took him out, and removed some members. In their place, I added 3 Lunar/Moon gods. From left to right is Men (Lunar god of Anatolia), Artume (Etruscan night goddess, similar to Artemis), Vampyre (a clone of my hero Necromancer), Night Stalker (originally called Moon Knight), Cricket & Crater (who will likely be changed to Eclipse or something else), the 4 super agents of the group, Kaskuh (Moon God of the Hittites) and the standard Luna agent. I'll probably be adding more to the organization when I can afford to send more work Joe's way.

some new pieces from Joe. This ship is used by the Renegade Swarm Queen and her team mates to get around a yet to be named vigilante wearing a plague doctor mask and using scalpels as weapons:

Some Thal ships by Joe Singleton

If the kid had on a full face mask, they could have said he was Neutron's mini (and some of the mini's are more talented than the regular sized guys!)

Interesting. I keep getting Professor X references. Strange works better though Juan Paolo just sent me another commission he finished for me. This is Kamapua'a, a Hawaiian deity. I love adapting lesser known gods into supers. I feel Celtic, Egyptian, Greek and Norse have been done to death. This guy has a cool back story, one of adventure, love and sorrow. Perfect fodder for a super, right? Here is a site that tells his story. This is what sold me on him being an interesting character
