    Re: in the spirit of christmas!

     

    Wow, that's breath-taking. Like an engraving, but coloured. Exquisite detail.

     

    So many images of grief, loss and mourning -- and in the pouring rain, no less -- it makes the tear-ducts burn just looking at it.

     

    What's the story behind the image?

     

    The character pierced by his own staff is called Thor's Assassin, who is, despite the name, a hero. This scene is his first ever defeat.

     

    TA is a remarkably well rounded-out character, who's past involved a decent into madness and the murder of his patron (Thor, hense the name). This scene is at the end of a climactic encouncer with another player's character.

     

    I chose the pose deliberately so that TA would almost look relaxed, despite the violence done to him with his own staff. His aura of invincibility (ala the old gunfighter, forever challenged) gone. The weight of guilt over his past, lifted in defeat.

     

    There's still a wee bit of tidying up to do - detailing on the armour and such like, but I actually like the mood of this one :)

    'cause he looks like a ballerino?

     

    BTW-Non traditional superheroes are da bombe. Shows that the world still has creativity. Who needs a thousand Super-Man clones (other than DC)? Give me a bouty butterfly chick any day. :)

     

    The description of Moore and Leach's Marvelman as being built more like a ballerina than a bodybuilder always appealed to me, so I chose to echo that here (along with a significant nod to Miller and Varney's Dark Knight cover), since Rune appeared in his screen shots to be a slightly built, if powerful, hero.

    Many thanks to lemming for the forum-foo

    Last one. Thanks to all those who entered their characters for consideration, and my apologies to all those whose characters weren't chosen.It was difficult to choose just nine, and had I the time, I'd have loved to have done more.

     

    I also think that this pic highlights why I don't do traditional supers very often...

    Kinda makes me think of Go-Anna from the Megellan webcomic. Is that a toothpick or a fag in her mouth?

     

    It's a Kiseru Pipe, but I don't know why...

    I like the Old One tattoo on her arm. Can't remember if that was in Haven's description of the character or not, but it's a nice touch.

     

    Also, the slight camera angle gives a nice feeling of topsy-turvy without going overboard.

     

    It's not in Haven's original description, but I figured if anyone needed to carry an Elder Sign around, it'd be her...

    Are you on the right track? Yeah' date=' I'd say so. :D:thumbup: :thumbup:[/quote']

     

    Very dark and verboding.

     

    Thanks! I like how the styles shaping up, but I think it's probably limited in its application

     

    very impressive who is she?

     

    I think she's called the Grey Huntress.

     

    and she is hot...

     

    She's Hot and Grey! Grey Huntress is one of those who straddle the hero / vigilante line (which is really why I stole her for this test pic)

     

    Finished colour version. At least as finished as any of these quick test pics gets! Comments and criticism very welcome!

    Grey Huntress was created by The Shades of Grey ( http://the-shades-of-gray.deviantart.com/ )

    Another quickie sketch, once again, with the character blatently stolen - this one was created by Shades of Grey (http://the-shades-of-gray.deviantart.com/)

     

    Very much a work in progress, with only the linework really complete, and some playing around on the face. Normally I hide this kind of playing about on my hard drive, safe from anyone, but with these I'm after feedback, so I know if I'm on the right track or not.

    That is fantastic! With one exception, the legs just don't seem to be right. Even if she wears some kind of pants they need more depth and highlights.

     

    Otherwise brilliant!

     

    Cooool pics' date=' Doc D, but I'm afraid Legatus is right about the legs on Feral Kat. She's teh awesome, elsewise. :thumbup:[/quote']

     

    ...it may be that i just forgot about them, and posted before going out :o...

    teh sexeh! :thumbup:

     

    I think the b&w looks great for her. Very noir-ish.

     

    Ta! I kept with the noir look for the 'coloured' version too

     

    Did you base the looks of Bombshell on a certain person? She looks so familiar. Any celeb?

     

    Justr generic woman, but who knows where my sub-conscious was looking...

     

    for a second i thought it was based on VICTORIA PRATT

     

    I don't know who that it, and I'm scared to google a woman's after the last time I tried it :o

     

    A coloured version of Katfood25's (http://katfood25.deviantart.com/) character, Feral Kat.

    These quickies are really more for me to try out different things - in this case, painted fully in photoshop, which I normally never do, and to that end, I'm sneakilly raiding various forums and stealing their characters. This one's from the City of Heroes boards.

     

    (I really like how her upper right arm came out, but not sure about the rest)
