Very nice!
Really quick critique. You’re shading is on point, very good. But I feel like your posing is lacking just a little. It’s not bad by any means, but I think that your shading skills are enough ahead of your posing that you should maybe focus a little more on poses.
Still though. I would by no means consider these bad. Great job!

Somehow I missed a few pictures when I made the last post. So let me quickly add this…
1. Great job on the Justin Case character (great name as well). I’m not sure I’ve seen torn clothing before, but I am fairly new here.
2. Thor looks great as well. I’m not used to seeing that style from you and at first I actually thought someone else posted a picture in your thread, haha. Completely caught me off guard there. Again, a great picture of the might Thor!

Yikes. Thank you, T! My imagination does tend to be the elephant in the room. If only my skills could catch up to it, or better yet, my speed of execution!

Hairy told me this ‘story’ about where he’s been while I’ve been ‘monitoring’ Shelob for him.
“So, I lost my ride. Had to take care of it. Then I met this old-timer. He gave me a lift. We went a little out of our way. We had to avoid this storm, and he had some, uh, dietary issues. Then I found out he was homeless, had a disability, and, worse, the staff of the park he was living near had led him to believe they’d keep giving him food and stopped suddenly. He doesn’t even know why. Dazed and confused, he didn’t even know the way back! I had to find him a situation and leave him. Felt bad about it, but I can’t take him in. The cold in my area would kill him, even if I could support him. I took him back south a ways, so at least the coming winter won’t bother him so much. Anyway, sorry I’ve been out of touch for so long.”

I’m out of time, and this subject DOES deserve more–so I just missed doing Mother Theresa! This is another good candidate though.

First published feminist poet in the Americas? Yeah. Nun? Huh. Some symbolism here: femme symbol combined from peace and cross, then balancing cross / scales. Scrolls and quills from Polyhymnia, muse of sacred poetry. What I read says the black dye is expensive to make, besides time-consuming. Wimple was a must, though. Her work is the first reference I’ve seen for “don’t blame the victim” besides possibly Shakespeare. Nice stuff.

Cliff, I’m amazed at how good you can make everything and do so much of it. Your pictures are so full of art between the characters and backgrounds it’s awesome to look at.
1. I really like how you did the fire/propulsion under the rocketship Luna, it looks great!
2. ‘Two wheels no waiting’ has an amazing background. Very well done!
3. Justin McKinney- Pride week. Just looking at his face and pose makes you happier which in my opinion is always good art! This is one of my favorites.
4. The Vampire looks better without fangs, I think you could get the effect you wanted if you could pull off something like his mouth being barely open enough to see his incisors.
Great work on all the characters and backgrounds, keep it going! They are great fun to look at, Cliff!

SHOCKING CDC #184- August 28, 2016
Honerable Mention
August 22, 2016
Thor (Fox)
http://pdsh.wikia.com/wiki/Thor_(Fox)
First Appearance Weird Comics #1(1940)
Original Publisher Fox
Created by Pierce Rice
Origin
Believing that the world needed a defender, Thor, son of Odin and supreme ruler of Valhalla, bestowed upon the human Grant Farrel his own powers, which Grant used to become a crime fighter. When he transformed into Thor, Farrel could fly, throw lightning bolts, and generate storms. He wielded Thor’s hammer, Mjolnir, which could be thrown hard enough to smash through multiple tanks but, like a boomerang, would return to his hand.
(I used the same pose essentially, and background, but YES I actually DID cover him up more than in the origin pic. Taking my temperature now)
Entry 2 August 22, 2016 at 6:45 pm | Shock Gibson (Hero)
http://pdsh.wikia.com/wiki/Shock_Gibson_(Hero)
Real Name Robert Gibson
First Appearance Speed Comics # 1 (1939)
Original Publisher Harvey
Created by Maurice Scott
Origin
Robert Charles Gibson, a wealthy scientist, was experimenting with electricity and chemicals when a lighting struck his lab. The electric shock caused the lab to expode, but Gibson emerged from the wreckege with a body that could conduct and generate electricity. His friend and a fellow scientist, Dr. Blitzen, pointed out that this power gave him an opportunity to change the world for the better. Swearing to use the power to for the good of humanity, he decided to fight crime as Shock Gibson, the Human Dynamo.
The first time he used his powers was at the gym which was full of rich patrons who were being robbed. Gibson stopped the theives as he was wearing his gym clothes which became his uniform plus a lightning mask.
In spite of using his surname in his codename, nobody can figure out who he is under the mask.
He can generate enough electricity to shock an entire river, weld metal, and even blast through metal walls. He also can fly, has super-strength, and can generate electro-magnetism. Early on, he needed to recharge periodically, but that became less and less necessary later.
(YES! I had to show more skin, and since two of the pics did …..)

JUST FOR FUN
Since high school I’ve had ranch cowboy tunred Vampire hunter
Justin Case
John said he looked too clean originally
so I mussed him up and blood spattered him
John mentioned red plaid was too lumberjack to him
so made it solid blue
he also objected to the open shirt
and said if I wanted to show skin make it ripped
I thought was was contrived as the other but ….
it took 4 different style hats to get what I wanted.
I love the “fangs” in the hatband
