That’s so awesome! I would never have thought to try and create that effect. Superb.

I’m still getting to grips with the forums, formatting, and some of the design tutorials, but I’m definitely up for joining in with contests, etc. as soon as I’m up to speed. 🙂

Nice! Great composition.

I’d like to see your take on a spaghetti western.

History

Founded by Jerome Järvinen, a.k.a. The Jetman, as the first international emergency response superhero organisation. Funded through Jerome’s engineering corporation, Järvinen Enterprises, the IFL is run as a sister organisation the the Terran Defence Corps.

While the Corps. deals exclusively with global threats, the IFL was formed to respond to national and international crime, with The Jetman personally inviting a primary team of heroes from all over the world, choosing each for their unique skills and abilities. Though the League is active and enjoying success, they are always looking to invite new members who display the right qualities.

The IFL Headquarters is located in Washington, D.C., with a secondary base at the Järvinen enterprises building in Europe. The main HQ employs a team of Operators and security staff, and maintains a small fleet of land and air transport vehicles.

Notes: And finally, the last primary member of the IFL, Solara. I really enjoyed creating this costume, and it’s very much what I imagined for the character.

Powers and Abilities

Powers: Bioluminescence, light manipulation, flight.
Details/Limitations: Able to store light energy, convert it, and emit it from her body as light and/or heat energy – This can take the form of attacks such as powerful beams of heat and light from the hands or large ‘explosions’ of light from the whole body, or more subtle effects like raising the temperature of her skin or causing it to glow softly. The more solar energy she has stored, the more power she can use. She can also convert this energy into a previously unknown force that enables her to fly for sustained periods. Once drained, she becomes physically weak until recharged by a light source, limiting the use of her powers at night.
Abilities/Skills: Dance, gymnastics, acrobatics, first aid, Boxing, Taekwondo.
Costume: Lightweight, bulletproof, heat and impact resistant body armour, gauntlets, and boots; fireproof/waterproof ‘winged’ bodysuit; mask; utility belt.
Weapons:
Gadgets/Tech: Utility belt contains basic crime-fighting tools – cable ties, caltrops, bandages, etc. – and a couple of handheld emergency flares for use as an emergency power source if caught without power in darkness.
Physical Weaknesses: Enters a weakened state if deprived of light for an extended period of time or completely drained of power. Using extremely powerful abilities can therefore leave her vulnerable. Light deprivation can result in death after a few weeks, e.g. If imprisoned in a completely dark room.
Mental/Emotional Weaknesses: Vulnerable to psychic attack.

@Vengeance- Yup, that’s the point. It is called Leviathan after all.

@Trekkie- Cheers.

Anyway, decided to throw something together for the CDC. As expected, not entirely happy with it, but only one person has entered so far and I think people might have forgotten about the contest, so might as well enter and see if I can get some life in it (especially as I suggested the theme after a conversation with Herr D on the last page of this thread).

The smiley reminded me of the Comedian from Watchmen at first, but I think your idea behind it is really great!

@Cliff- Yeah, sorry but we don’t want to take the risk with Marvel.

[quote=139209]I actually do very little shading and posing. I still think I’m bad at both of them. It can be good to enhance the image but it’s not all that important to me. I just like to make costumes. But thanks. I’m glad you like my little weirdos.  [/quote]

Fair points, and you’re welcome. An image only needs that little bit of shading or a slightly altered pose to really stand out, and I think it contributes to the ‘clean’ look everyone bangs on about. Your use of colours and colour schemes is just my cup of tea, too.

Keep ’em coming.
