HeroMachine Character Portrait Creator

Here’s some concept designs for Superheroes

Some of them a detailed, some are very basic.

One of them (the SUPER detailed one) is more of a baseline for how things COULD look as a finished product. Obviously not so detailed and picturesque because Heromachine isn’t that sort of application, but as an example of the idea of kinda having different things that meld together to create something awesome.

On the more basic ones, it’s mainly to look at the banding and the use of coloured outlines to use as a highlight, so the costume has sometimes three colours, one as the primary colour, one as the secondary primary colour and then one as the highlight. You can normally see this around the arms, the legs and around the torso where there’s almost the actual shape of the boot or the logo and then a thick almost outline, in a different colour, which makes it stand out. Also you can see in the way the colours work, because that’s kinda how superhero costumes work and it’s not super easy to create this kinda stuff on Heromachine. Some of the shapes are one shape as opposed to many different ones put together and I think they’d look cool as options on Heromachine.

Some more design ideas for a helmet style and some more exo-suit concepts I found online.

Name: Amanda Ashford

Alias: Enabler

Powers: Power Enhancement, Power Mimicry, Power Sensing

Orientation: Straight

Bio: Born by a surrogate mother for a gay couple who wished to have a family. Active campaigner for LGBT Rights. Formed PRIDE with Double Trouble after xe stopped an assassination attempt on her.

During Time Skip: In the two years since we last saw PRIDE a lot has changed. For Enabler’s part, the passing of the Gay Marriage Bill was a huge victory and she finally got to see her fathers get married. However, it hasn’t all been rosy. She was hospitalised during a battle with the Negadroid and was then kidnapped from the hospital by The Knights Of Purity, who tried to lynch her on video. They also firebombed her house after she was rescued by the rest of PRIDE. She has since relocated to what she calls “The Safehouse”, an apartment building owned by Chance’s uncle, where the rest of the team have also moved.

Name: Michael Chase

Alias: Chance

Powers: Probability Manipulation

Orientation: Gay

Bio: Former colleagic athlete, disbarred from competition due to his powers. Currently dating his team-mate Shift. Uncle owns the teams place of residence (unofficially known as “The Safehouse”).

Since Time Skip: In the last two years, Chance has had a few interesting experiances. He almost got himself killed whilst putting his powers to use in Las Vegas in order to gain enough money for him and Shift to buy a house, which he will admit was a dumb idea. He also found out his partners secret (which we will come to late). Fortunately it didi affect their relationship in any major way. Away from the team, he’s trying to get his own gym started. It isn’t going brilliantly, but luck can’t solve everything, hard-work is needed too as his dad always said.

Name: Farah Al-Mansur

Alias: Manara

Powers: Light/ Heat Energy Absorption/ Release

Orientation: Questioning

Bio: The daughter of Syrian immigrants, her family were killed whilst visiting family in Syria shortly after the civil war started. Farah was at college in America at the time so didn’t go with her family. However, the news of her family’s deaths awoke her latent power to absorb and control heat and light energy. Given the nature of her powers, added on to her Islamic heritage and her suddenly very withdrawn behaviour, she was shunned by many of her college peers and eventually, in a moment of heightened emotional stress, she  lost control of her powers. Fortunately, she was stopped by PRIDE, whose member White Lie attended the same college and she joined the team, at first as an ally, but she soon began to develop feelings for another member of the team. She now constantly struggles, not only with her powers and their unpredictable nature, but also reconciling her feelings with her faith.

Song on now: Stronger by Clean Bandit (I just discovered this song yesterday) By kids are a set that some girls who were visiting directed me to make.

Been a while… Here’s a couple of cyberpunk pics.
