HerrD and ForgivenMonster's winning designs...

My versions of their original characters...

Continue reading →

The premise of this contest is that over the next number of weeks we will build a team of superheroes and a team of villains. Each week I will supply you with a role, name, or list of powers of one of the team members and you will use HM3 to create the character.

The winner each week will win a version of their character created on HM by yours truly.

This week we move onto the second in Command of the villain squad – the vicious Komodo

He is a native of the planet BelTAR Prime; a planet populated by human/reptile hybrids. Komodo is the mindless muscle of the team - or so Invidia believes -although he also carries a deadly mutation: retractable claws which can deliver a neurotoxin that renders his victims immobile before an inexplicably painful and prolonged death.

She is originally a member of the Clovar tribe; the largest of the Aboriginal tribes of the planet Nuvar. The Clovar are a race of winged hunters with enhanced eyesight. Each tribe member is born with a distinctly ornate pair of wings each as individual as a snowflake.
