A little and large, opposites attract superhero couple, Kathy Collins (aka. Turbo Girl) and Serena Shaw (aka Barricade) never-the-less make a great team. Kathy (the more hot-headed, emotionally volitile and outgoing of the pair) can absorb any energy she comes into contact with and convert it into kinetic energy. Once she starts moving there isn't a force on earth that can stop her. In contrast Serena (who despite her size is far more shy and reserved, but far more level-headed and stable) is both super strong and completely immovable. If she decideds to stand her ground, nothing will ever move her. She could be hit by a tidal wave and she'd still be standing in the exact same spot.
Extra Facts:
- Serena enjoys gardening and is a very good seamstress. In fairness, she kinda has to be, she grew out of even the largest womens clothes in her late teens and has had to make her own ever since. She put these talents to good use, making both her and her girlfriends costumes (though hers was mostly salvaged scrap from an old Negadroid and is mostly just to stop her getting scratched by shrapnel from anything that hits her).
- Kathy's energy absorbtion power is permenantly active, meaning she has an unfortunate tendancy to build up energy reserves doing every day activities and, if she's not careful, can accidentally release this energy at inoppertune times, which can lead to some property damage (has, sorry, has led to a lot of property damage). Fortunately she lives with someone who a) is basically unaffected by these outbursts and b) is strong enough to clear away even the biggest pile of rubble.
Love your environmental lighting. Minotaur and Moon Guardian are some of my favorite examples of this.
I really like the spell effect you made for James Holly. I remember years ago trying to pull off a multi-colored spell like that and you pulled it off so much better!
Your shading is always so high-contrast and eye catching. Love the emblem and background for Valor.

A Jordanian superhuman of Palestinian descent, Sadiq Al-Qadir (also known as Sarab (or mirage in English) due to his power to phase in and out of view like a mirage) is a man who tries to use his powers for the good of his people. For this, many brand him a villain, a superpowered terrorist who is nothing more than a threat hiding behind lofty ideals. But to the people he fights for, Al-Qadir is a hero and a symbol of pride that they can rally behind. In reality, he is both and he is neither, a man fighting for justice and peace in an increasingly injust and peaceless world.
A high school sporting all-star, Marshal Davies got a football scholarship and was on of the top scorers in the country in his debut season. But then it all came crashing down when he picked up a career ending injury during the off-season. Unable to play the sport he loved, Marshal fell back on a different career path. He'd always dreamed of being a role model, someone kids could look up to, aspire to be like, someone who could make life better for others, so he chose to join the police force instead, where he became a decorated officer. However, as hard as he tried to make a difference, nothing seemed to be changing and, as he had his eyes opened to so much of what was happening in the world, all he could see was that things were getting worse and that the system he was helping uphold was part of the problem. So when he was confronted by a lack of accountability in his own department after a shooting of an unarmed black teen, he decided enough was enough. He quit the police and decided to focus his efforts on community activism and justice reform. He also took on the alias of the Defender and, equiped with a suit that increases his strength and durability, he made it his mission to aid those in need and defend his community from violence, even from the system that was meant to be protecting it. Of course, being a massive football nerd, he did make the suit somewhat customised to his personal tastes.
