I've just started reading the Drizzt novels for the first time ever, and while I frankly think this "his hands are a hammer and a pick" concept is silly -- how does he wipe, or get dressed, or open things that don't need smashing, etc. -- it works in the context of the novel and they're pretty fun so far. Anyway, here's his deep gnome buddy, Belwar.

I wanted to try a small scene with non-people stuff in it.

One of my early Champions rules-lawyer characters. I wanted to see what it would be like to play a Speed 12 guy, sue me. This is the first serious attempt at a costume. He's an on-the-streets type of guy, and clearly loves his Chicago Cubs.

It's actually drawn with a ball-point pen on a piece of note paper because that's what's by the phone.

Note that with the old blog layout, images could only be 525 pixels wide, but now they can be up to 640. That also means the HM3 interface is wider so you can see your characters better.

All of this is made possible by secret invisible mind-control Martian technology brought to us by J'Onn J'Onzz, which is why he looks so grumpy.
