Terminator: Rage against the Machines

A cross-dressing vampire terrorizes the countryside in 
 
Dragula

A new heroine:
 

 
Firefly!

My Fair Lady Jaye

A thread I started elsewhere

The artist who did this piece did an excellent job imagining Black Widow as a man--although I wonder what the male form of the name "Natasha" would be--
 

If The Hulk seems a little calmer than usual, it's because Black Widow told him he could have Fruity Pebbles for dinner.

 

I swear it's true--you can't make this stuff up.

And now, the Crimestopper!  A pulp-era masked crime fighter, basically a two-gun trenchcoat detective pretty common in pulps back then.

I don't have a name for this one...

Next up, media hog and faux hero Hercules.  Although he fights crime in Greece, he's basically just a guy out for a buck.  Very low powered compared to the rest of the competitors in the tourney, he's the Ray Jackson (from Bloodsport) of the fight.  Big muscular guy that gets trashed by the first contestant he meets.

And now to shift gears slightly, I'm going to do a batch of Watchers of the Dragon characters, since that one is polling really well too.  
 
First on the block is Seeker, who Steve Long turned into the ultimate martial artist.  He's... somewhat... more expensive than in the Champions books.  This is seeker who's been around a long time and spent a lot of experience.
 
As far as I know this is the last printing of the character, who was disappeared for the new editions.

Highlander: Ronald McDonald of the Clan McDonald

Here's my next submission for my Knights Templar.  The original character was "XS", as in "excess", speed, looks, bra size, etc...  A bit too cheesy, and basically an NPC, I only used her a few times, but did many combat simulations with this character, when trying to refine archetypes.  I was recently watching "The Batman", and I've always liked that version of the Catwoman costume.  So to fill the "speedster" slot for the Knights, I created Cheetah.  She's got a mystical component, (connection to Bast, 9 lives, etc.)...and also the costume has certain technological enhancements as well.  A very dexterous, very fast sprinter, who almost never gets hit.  Here's the line drawing and the colored finish.  Done with pencil and Berol Prismicolor.
