The Royal Sniper is really neatly designed. The colors you’ve chosen go well together. I’m not an expert on poses but what I can suggest is shading. In the “backgrounds” tab there is a gradient circle under “shapes”. If you make the line and outer edge of the circle completely transparent you can use the middle part for highlights, shadows, glare, all sorts of cool effects. It can really bring depth and realism to your pictures. If you check out my thread you can see some examples of how I use it.
Backgrounds also really help improve a picture. There’s also in the same tab a gradient rectangle that can make beautiful skies. Try layering different background pieces to make fuller scenes.
My last suggestion if you want to try a more realistic style would be to color the outlines. Leaving them black give your images the classic “comic book” appearance.
Lovin your images so far. All of the aquatic ones are beautiful. I like the smoothness of the coloring.
Amorie’s human form.
Above is Amorie’s human female form. She often assumes this disguise when she needs to feed, luring men and women alike into dark alleys or empty inn rooms. It is also used when her master needs her to spy on settlements that he desires sacking.

This one’s titled: “When A Hero’s Parents Are Too Human . . . “
A lot of us use Deviantart. It’s free (unless you want all the bells and whistles), fairly simple to use and you can sort your stuff into folders.
Here is the former leader of the cadets, Paragon. Kyle Madison is superstrong, can fly, and is mostly invulnerable. He is the unflappable type, taking most everything in stride and adapting quickly to new situations. The only thing he reacts to poorly is confined spaces as a childhood experience of being locked in a chest for a day has left him severely claustrophobic. Through the help of his now wife, Paige, he has mostly overcome this fear.
He was the only one of the cadets to stay a superhero immediately after their friend snowball’s death. Paige was too traumatized from her year in a hell dimension to continue fighting crime. Kyle understood and helped her recover in his down time. Formerly Kid Paragon, Kyle now fights crime as Paragon, a symbol for justice. His experience as the leader of the cadets has made the young hero into a leader figure in the hero community, with young heroes looking to him for guidance.
Yikes–perhaps I got r / c wrong. The pic was what I meant. I’m gonna go check.
*DAAH! Good catch, Dingus Khan. I should have typed 1rst row, last font.
I’m gonna go change that now, in case of any late entries.
Supposed to be for CDC #328, but I misinterpreted the point of the contest…perhaps I should make sure I’m fully rested and fully HeroMachine oriented next time. ^^;
