I had so much fun with the international superhero thing I decided to make some more. Here’s the first, Shooting Star, a Spanish hero, based out of the Balearic Isles (hence the flag…)

I know how you feel. That’s probably why I made 24 flag characters. Can’t wait to see more! Cheers!

Hey, Imp would you mind explaining how your doing the lighting on your characters or items? It would be greatly appreciated, I really admire your creations.

Not too complicated, just time consuming. I just use the multi-color/gradient circles in Patterns. The outer color’s transparency is set at 0 (as is the outer line), and the inner color is anywhere from 100% opaque on down, depending on the look I want. Then it’s just a matter of sizing and placement. Any sort of tutorial I could give on that would be way too long for this forum. The best advice I can give you is to look at the way light is reflected off of real-world items and try to replicate it. For the human form, I go with the ‘bulgy’ bits – the parts of the anatomy that stand out and so would reflect light more prominently – thighs, biceps, chest, etc. Think about which direction the light source is coming from and layout the highlights accordingly. Hope that helps!

Two more national heroes, Condottiero from Italy, and Cannonball from Germany. (A note on Cannonball’s powers, since it’s not obvious from the picture: he’s a telekinetic, and can levitate objects and hurl them with immense force and speed – those are supposed to be large ball bearings orbiting his hand.)
