No kidding. Remember how well Drhoz played Jrska, his insane, irrepressibly, imaginatively and energetically perverse Slaanesh-worshipping dog-headed beast woman? Now there was a walking weaponized Smut Field^TM _.

Remindes me of this old saying about battlefield tactics:

"Never stop your enemy when he is making a mistake."

This is one of Miles Vorkosigan's favourite sayings. And quite practical too.

Talking about the Bible, are there write ups for Behemoth and Leviathan anywhere, or are they just plot devices?

There's a basic write-up for a very generic slasher killer on p.210 on the 5th ed Bestiary.

CZ-97 in .45 ACP

I always liked the CZ-75, and this looks just as good.

Smokey the Bear is a divine entity? Sweet.

X-Ray is Agent 47 in a brown topcoat? 0_0

I like version 2 as wel. Version 3 makes her look too much like a waitress at a theme bar, or something.

Good to see more of your artwork, Storn.

Yeah.

And the rest of them are amazing, too.

 

 

"I AM IRON MAN!!!"

 

ZOMFG! ROLFMAO!

Seriously, that's hilarious.

Captain Sikh America!

 

I am... Captain Amerisingh!

Is there going to be Lizardwoman?

Yeah, I realised when I was typing that.

Or, some now half-forgotten visionary deliberately tried to build such a city and succeeded after a fashion. A kind of experimental "City of Tomorrow" as it were. Then it kind of fell into disrepair as reality passed it by. Then another man, not perhaps with the same vision, but cetainly with Money decided to refurbish it and make it work in the real world, not the world of "the Future".

Or given the nature of such settings, there could have been a confluence of realities at this site and - voila! mes amis!

And interesting take on the above is William Gibson's short story The Gernsback Continuum in which a man starts to hallucinate this very sort of future, complete with atomic powered flying car, crystal spire city and the perfect Aryan family which has "all the sinister fruitiness of Hitler Youth propaganda". Oh yes, and there's a twelve engined flying wing aeroplane complete with a dance hall, because this guy swears he hears jazz as it goes overhead.

Any silver age city has got have a raygun gothic-airstream retro-futurist aesthetic, but mashed with modern tech. So it looks like something from a 30s/40s/50s profection of the 21st century, but you also have mobile communications, wi-fi, the internet, hybrid cars, etc.

But you also have monorails, nuclear powered spaceships, space stations, colonies on the Moon and flying saucers.

Obviously, this would be in some kind of alternate Earth, since such a city could not (probably) exist in ours.

Supergirl may be asking when her bust will grow as big as Power Girl's but she really has no cause to worry.

Also, le main droit rouge, if I'm any judge

SPOOOON!

Or, to quote someone else: "Yeah, baby!

For now....

Hey, in comics, we often have our cake and eat it too. Expect athletic supermodels .

Like Gabby Reese. Yum.

ST Kinetics SAR-21

A couple of points - female superheros are going to be built like athletes, not supermodels. Also armour, including plate, did not hinder one's movements. It was speciically designed to spread it's weight evenly across the body. The convept that it was so heavy knights needed to be winched into their horses is nonsense, a Victorian myth. I've seen people do stunt riding on horses in plate, plus do jumping jacks and cartwheels. The main disadvatage was exhaustion, because it was heavy, and that the visor cut of your peripheral vision.  Also, waring a gambeson underneath mail was essential, since obviously metal armour is going to heat up quickly, even on mild day, Also, it was quiet. You can jump up and down in a hauberk or byrnie and no one would know you were wearing it.

That too.

For a moment I thought this was Patrick Warburton in the costume--but it's a New York cosplayer named Michael Byrnes--

 

 

He's perfect.

Uncle Sam is looking very buff, there, Major Tom.

And happy Independence Day!

I'm going to bang the drum for "Sword and Soul", which is S&S set in an African background (historical or imagined). Look for MIlton Davis' Chronicles pf Meiji and Charles R Saunders' Imaro and Dossouye stories, plus a host of others, including Balogun Ojetade's Once Upon a Time In Afrika. Davis and Saunders have also collaborated on Griotsi which is an anthology of these stories.
