VampyristParticipantHere is Hazterkhan, a green solaria representative. Hazterkhan is a member of a race that has no mouth, but they use their vast telepathic abilities to communicate. Hazterkhan is the most feared member of his kind. He is a torturer for hire who’ll inflict all types of pain, both physical and mental -using his psychic powers- for whomever pays him the most or the least in some situations. He is a being whose sole existence is to cause others pain and misery and when his sadism made him the Green Solarian, noone was surprised.

VampyristParticipantA silver Solarian, Gerar Kon. Gerar is a member of a crustacean-like species that is very religious. Gerar was a missionary for his faith when his conviction made him the silver Solaria member. Over the years, as he saw more and more evil, his conviction began to waver, and his suit became darker and darker. He would eventually become more powered by doubt in his faith than his conviction in it.

LucMemberDecided to make a pink one too! This little fella is a good example of how even positive powers can be dangerous in the wrong hands. He’s a lover of women of all shapes, sizes, and species, and his obsession with the opposite sex (Or rather, his simple but powerful desperation) manifests in the form of a pheromone that women of all races simply find irresistable… This is a bit of an issue considering that both physically and mentally he’s the worst possible mate for… Well, everybody. When any woman in the galaxy can find themselves instantly attracted to the galaxy’s literal biggest loser, you know things can only end in disaster.

LucMember… Bah screw it, I’ll try and crank out one of each. These are actually getting pretty fun. Here’s a blue one next. His courage comes not from just charging headlong into danger, but charging into danger he should be too weak to overcome. He comes from an alien species that is known for being incredibly weak physically, their bones able to snap like twigs and their skin as tough as tissue paper. However, this particular member of that species found a piece of ancient technology from a lost civilization… A small sword that seemed to feed off of his courage to form its blade from pure energy. The more courageous his actions, the sharper that blade would become.

LucMember3 more for the price of one.
No little story for this one, idea I had was basically that he’s some sort of world-renowned hero back on Earth, and the fame has given him a massive ego. So, he would represent pride.
A species of creatures made of stone, they can live for eons and go for decades without moving if they don’t need to. This one has developed a style of martial arts based around simply sitting still and unmoving until the perfect opertunity to strike back arises. His choice of simply sitting and waiting rather than more actively fighting makes him represent serenity.
No story here either. Basically just associated doves with White and Hope, and went from there.

LucMemberAnd the rest.
Once a military android with an advanced AI, it became self aware and began questioning its existence, always doubting whether it can be considered living or not.
The yellow Solarian is the last surviving member of a lost alien race, constantly suffering from the grief of being alone in the universe. However, the green Solarian, a small companion droid known simply as “Buddy” has taken to following her around and making constant efforts to cheer her up and provide her with a friend of sorts.

JR19759KeymasterOk people, contest closed.
I’m glad I had this one open for 2 weeks, there were some very good entries in both weeks. Before we get to the over all winners, lets have a look at those runners up, who will be the Legendary Solarians in issue 3.
Red: Stax (headlessgeneral)- There were more entries for this colour than any of the others, but this one was one of two that made me think ‘that’s actually better than my own design’, so many kudos to you for that one.
Orange: ? (Luc)- I’m calling this guy Orguilo (latin for Pride) as you didn’t name any of yours. I liked the look of this one very much, the idea of using the space man helmet gave him a look of anonymity that gave the impression when combined with his pose that he is too good for everyone else to even look at. It also helped that he’s tying himself to the Earth’s most iconic ever moment.
Yellow: K’Link D’Lack (Livewyre1014)- Out of all of the runners up, this entry encapsulated what I had in mind when I put this contest up. Simple costume, the expression which shows perfectly which emotion he represents, the glow effect (did you merge the fingers underneath? Cause that’s extra neat if you did.) He came very close to being a winner here.
Green: Kringlack (NHA247)- Energy Effect. That’s all that needs to be said for this one. And I like the fact you looked at the example design and said “Lets make the black the main colour of the costume, just so the green s more eye catching’ (Or at least that’s what you said in my head).
Blue: Kraa (Trekkie)- There are many things that are neat about this one. The alien-ness of the character, he seems to be all stretched out and I can’t see a mouth anywhere. I also love the simplicity of the costume, and the shading on it is excellent. I’m a big fan of simple but effective costumes, and this is a prime example.
Purple: ? (Luc)- Yep, no name given for this one, but I’ve called him Amhef, cause the file sot of read that way. Great story behind this one. Having the actual character peaking out of the suit is awesome. I also like the fact that the suit has the Solaria costume instead of the character.
Pink: Darouk (Vampyrist)- I liked the story behind both of Vampyrists ‘Masked’ entries, but I like this one more. It strikes me that he could go either way, he could be consumed by hatred of those he persecuted because of the love he has for those he doesn’t, so if I did investigate the stories of some of these legendary Solarians, I would definitely focus on this guy, he has a good story.
Black: ? (Luc)- If I’m not mistaken, this was the only entry for black. Nice look for this one, though I’m not sure how useful a skirt would be in combat.
Silver: Gerar- Kon (Vampyrist)- You do seem to like giving backstories involving religion don’t you. This one was alway getting into the ten, just for his face. Alien but there’s still that humanity that makes the backstory believable.
White: Wraith (NHA247)- This was tough one to decide, I liked Luc’s version, but it was slightly too close to my original design for the white Solarian (pretty much the only difference was mine was male), so I have to give this one to Wraith. He looks awesomely spooky, and the glowing eyes just add another layer of awesome altogether.
So well done to everyone there. But there can only be one winner. Except for my indecisiveness, which means there two winners.
And they are:Blue Blazer– Vovu Vevu & NHA247– RAM
Blue Blazers was the design I was comparing everyones to, as his was the first entry. Two things that attracted me to this character from the start where the alien-ness of the design (the head especially) and the backstory that BB gave, definately helps to think up the motivation and personality of the character.
All of NHA247’s entries ended up being finalists, but this was my favourite. As with Kringlack, the effects are amazing. The pose is really emotive, you can just see the rage. But what really sold this one to me, is the backstory (as with Blue Blazer), I know where to go with this character already.
Thank you for all your entries and special thanks to the two winners.
I won’t be running a redesign contest competition this week, but I will have something up on this thread later.

JR19759KeymasterOk. I’ve run out of ideas for what characters to give you guys to redesign now, so I’m not going to run this thread as a redesign contest until I figure out what the next contest should be. But instead of neglecting it, I thought I’d try something different.
Now that I’ve finished doing redesigns of my more recent characters, I thought I should go back to some of my very earliest creations, The Elements, a team of normal people who are given ten legendary orbs each containing a great elemental spirit. Thing is though, I want to shake this up a bit, so what I’m going to do is ask you guys to serve as my inspiration. What I want is for you guys to get involved, become part of the team. So, if you want me to do a portrait of you as a member of my new elements team, or if you want to create a character specifically to be a part of it, then post a head-shot and text file below or PM me with them (head-shots only please, I’ll figure out the rest later) with a name for the character, which elemental orb they would have and a short description of their personality (I’ll also flesh that out later). I’ll be operating on first come first served. I’ll update the list below when an element becomes unavailable.The elements are: Fire (TAKEN), Earth (TAKEN), Water, Electricity (TAKEN), Air (TAKEN), Ice, Metal, Light, Darkness (TAKEN), Time (TAKEN)
Vampyrist has already got involved, via my deviantart page, so I hope some other people will follow his example. I’ll post them up on my thread when I’ve got at least two more people interested and their designs done. Also, I will be reserving at least three spaces for female members, incase any of the girls don’t get involved here, I don’t really want to have an all male team.
Hope to hear from you guys.

NHA247ParticipantWow! Thanks man! Im glad you liked all of mine! RAM was by far my favorite one i made for this contest, Im glad that you picked him!
and btw yes that is what I was thinking for kringlack. I didnt want him to be too green and I thought if i make the base black the green would look better. I tried to do that with all except for wraith that wouldnt have worked haha

Blue BlazerParticipantThanks for the win! I am honored to share this victory with the incomparable NHA247.

My face is on HM3 in the Winners tab. It’s this one…
And I think Blue Blazer is actually a pretty good name for a fire-based character…
