As far as Lados goes, a lot can be done by simply adding an overlay. An identical layer to the one under it, except you use a lighter color or white and make it very transparent. This can be done to make eyes filmy or avoid using custom colors or just lighten a layer.

As far as Charon? A suggestion: show a vaguely rose-shaped piece ‘missing’ from his own shadow, like he pulled it out carefully in an idle moment to match the pose . . .

Mongrel’s got a ‘Hulk’ vibe. When you start posing, I want to see him squishing a car or something. Keep at it.

Feet and hands better on the upper. Hair definitely better on the lower.

“Hey there pt.2” is something I’ll be looking at for some St. Patrick’s Day designs.

C. Sanders looks playable by Paltrow. Good stuff here.

Yellow-D, Herr D’s new fave.

In all seriousness, though, the reason I made this is because I noticed one of the shoe items in Heromachine looked like a head. The dinosaur’s head is a shoe. THE DINOSAUR’S HEAD IS A SHOE.  

Appropriate, since some dinobrains were in their tails. APPROPRIATE, SINCE SOME DINOBRAINS WERE IN THEIR TAILS.  As for the Folly of Primus, the results are sublimus!

Have you worked with Fonts enough to do something as if it’s ON papyrus? That would be interesting. Maybe the Piratess’ treasure map or a vamp’s oldest property deed . . .

I love the colors, but so many patterns? Is she the spring fairy embodiment of golf? Good camo work on the vehicle.

Are those ankles air baffles? that would make sense . . .

So, that does look like a sword made to cut off the future. Good illumination effect.

Boat time’s pretty good. You might next time make ‘spray’ or droplets of water. It would look more realistic than the Kahuna wave. A suggestion on how would be shrink and stretch the starfield background, make it look like rain instead, and mask it to something irregular, like one of the more complex tats. Only two items that way, anyhow.

@ Herr, Why are you asking JR about Strange Train? He had nothing to do with it!! For what it’s worth Strange Train was base on Dreamweaver, and the Dream police, so I’d say it’s mid 80’s new wave?

I figure he’s a music major–might have an opinion more informed than mine. I’m pleased I was close to your intent with my interpretation. Christi S was right–it really DOES look like a video still.

@Korus: Bazang! Welcome Korus. Hope you continue coming in ‘versus’ and ‘refrain’ from breaking any forum rules.

@JR: Strange Train . . . ’80’s British pop video or ’90’s American new wave video?

@Chr S: I only have one weapon in my arsenal against THAT level of excellence–multiplicity of creative use in a humorous fashion!

@ev1: sorry for so much absence–IRL stuff has just multiplied recently. Trying to cram the lid back on.

. . . still on that Western theme from my last contest entry, here’s an ad from the year 2987

*Shoulder armor item made a great saddle and a fair bowlful of hamburger. The spiked hammerhead made good robot limb parts and spurs, a fair meatgrinder, and, stretched out and spun, a good blue ribbon floret. The ‘chardeesh’ (sp?) blade came in really handy. Four in the hat, two for head trim, one smile,  and one stirrup.
