[quote=140486]Cast has mushroomed. Good stuff. Do you want suggestions for power origin?[/quote]

Thanks, dude.

I have a team of alien/space based heroes still to come, but any advice is always welcome and appreciated! Usually, I choose my heroes’ origins from the following categories for the ‘species’ section of the profile;

  • Human (not super powered, e.g. Batman)
  • Superhuman (any human that gained superpowers during an unusual event or ‘accident’, e.g. The Flash, Hulk, The Fantastic Four)
  • Mutant (any person born with latent superpowers as a result of genetic mutation, e.g. Most of the X-Men)
  • Alien (any species originating in space or on another planet, e.g. Superman, Martian Manhunter, Thor)
  • Cyborg (any person with cybernetic parts, including full androids/robots, e.g. Vision, Cyborg)

I know the descriptions are a bit vague, but I’ll describe the actual event/process that the hero gained his/her powers when I write out their full origin story. If you can think of any categories I’m missing, or any origins for specific characters/powers, I’d love to hear and discuss with you. 🙂

Power user profiles and Hall of Fame entries are less common these days, but I’ll 2nd your nominations right here and now. You’ve obviously learned exponentially.

How many layers was that latest smiley-faced man?

Notes: Somebody requested a sound based/musician hero a while back. I hope this sort of counts. I’m still working on base shadows at the moment, but once I start combining the tricks I’ve learned, the characters should state looking pretty sweet. Also; couldn’t find a better ‘sonic scream’ effect and gave up. Thanks again for all your patience. Some more villains coming up.

Glad you like it, i was aiming to have it come off with a militaristic vibe, hence the multiple buttons on the jacket/top’s breast segment which was kind of inspired by a Hussar’s dolman jacket.
(Ok really i was binge watching farscape, that gave me some ideas and forced me in to a black and red colour scheme.)


This one’s a bit iffy in my view, the grenade works but the red blue and white strip clash too much with the tiger strips, and the hat doesn’t fit at all.


The same image but with sensible boring cameo colours, now the strip stands out to much and i think the buttons down the leg is a step too far, what do you all think?

I was just stopping by to see how everyone is doing in the contest and wow. Both are great pieces. I think Christi might have a hard time judging them. I love the Star Trek theme Keric. You have come a long ways since I’ve come here. Anyways good luck to both of you.

A Terra redesign.

No, not the Teen Titans Terra, my own. Avatar of earth and the very first character I ever created with Heromachine.
