They must REALLY hate that name. Great job, I especially like Seahawk, the lining on the left arm side is just awesome.

[Jeimuzu]

Dang, they all look great! Wetwork looks super cool, all the costumes are terrific on the costumed characters.

[DiCicatriz]

What magnificent BASTARDS!

Nice job on the team, love the full-body pattern effect you get on these guys.

[Vampyrist]

They’re awesome, especially Wetwork and Stingaree.

Thanks! I was just messing around with the tattoos and Seahawk was really the simplest to do…

Thank you! My goal was to make clear that Wetware (Wetwork was a typo I corrected) costume consists of millions of tiny nanobots who form a kind of black viscious liquid mass that is constantly in motion (similar to Rorschach’s mask). I at least am pretty proud of the way he turned out.

Thank you! Those two are my favorites, too!

Before I proceed to a new topic I want to add a team to my international heroes since it looks like I forgot “down under”.

So here’s the official Australian governmental sanctioned superhero-team:

The team members from bottom left to top right:

TASMANIAN DEVIL Real Name: Jordan Anderson Affiliations: The Savage Pack Powers: Jordan Anderson possesses extremely enhanced senses, so that he can see in total darkness as if it was a clear sunny day, hear sounds that an ordinary human can’t, smell fear and detect if someone is lying by change in body odor, and taste the exact ingredients of any particular food he is eating. Additionally to razor-sharp animal-like claws and a sometimes savage rage, he is equipped with superhuman strength, speed and stamina, increased agility and reflexes, as well as an accelerated healing process that enables him to regenerate damaged or destroyed tissue with far greater efficiency than an ordinary human. Headshot:

REDBACK Real Name: Riley “Red” Reddington Affiliations: The Savage Pack Powers: Riley Reddington possesses the proportionate superhuman abilities and traits of various spiders as a result of genetic manipulations and other scientific experiments under state supervision. The former convict possesses several additional limbs (including 4 extra arms), superhuman strength and speed, enhanced stamina and agility, and is capable to stick to virtually any surface and crawl across it or to rip a wall down just by tugging at it hard enough with his palms. He also has the ability to organically produce a silk venomous liquid from glands in his fingers that can be used as some sort of web as well. Headshot:

NEON BLUR Real Name: Bailey Jones Affiliations: The Savage Pack Powers: Bailey Jones can move at almost supersonic speed for an indefinite time and use bursts of even higher speed for a short time allowing him to move faster than the eye can track. At that speed he becomes so fast it appears as if he has teleported and by gaining momentum he acquires the relativistic mass of such speed to land blows with tremendous force without causing any shock or disturbance to the surface he stops on. Even when he accelerates himself to high speeds, transforming himself into a destructive projectile in the process, he is able to maneuver accurately and dodge projectiles, move behind enemies, or get away from a fight if necessary. Headshot:

HELIX Real Name: Aaron Sweets Affiliations: The Savage Pack Powers: Aaron Sweets can transform his body completely or partially down to the genetic and cellular structure into any fundamental element, including air, earth, electricity, fire, light, shadow, water, etc. and is able to shapeshift his form at will. These powers enable him to transform and reshape his body in order to impersonate other people or objects and to form limbs into weapons or enhance his body to combat, either by turning into animal, monsters, etc. or making his body stronger by combining abilities and/or elements. Headshot:

KILLERBUG Real Name: Callum Morton Affiliations: The Savage Pack Powers: Callum Morton possesses an insect-like body with a chitinous exoskeleton, including retractable mandibles and jaws strong enough to crush at least solid wood, as well as a pair of veined, cellophane like insectoid wings that allow him to fly at an unknown speed or hover in place. The sharp nails on each of his fingers are poisonous stings that can be used to cut and pierce his opponets and the strong poison can cause lethal hallucinations on his victims. He also possesses a special gland for producing digestive acid that he can use as a weapon and he is capable of moving his wings at high speeds, creating potent sonic vibrations which can harm even people with great durability and shatter solid objects. Headshot:

ECO Real Name: Joshua Irukandji Affiliations: The Savage Pack Powers: The half Aborigines, half Australian Joshua Irukandji has the psionic power to manipulate all matter and energy on a subatomic level and to shape and even create the basic elements of nature. He is able to move, alter, and mix all forms of matter, reconfigure existing elements into different substances and forms, and can use his powers to various effects, a few of which are: pulling atoms together, changing matter to energy and back again, creating one atom from many others, make his or others molecules phase through any object, create and evolve lesser life forms and himself, produce heat, force, fire, electric, and/or nuclear energy etc., negate or trigger superpowers in others, and much else.

Yet another awesome superhero team, Tasmanian Devil has got to be my favorite here, I just love what you did with his costume. Simple, but effective.

[Mad Jack]

Thank you very much, Manga-Master! There are plenty more teams coming – as soon as I get the story straight that’s connecting them.

Sweet! I can’t wait to see your next awesome team. Also I just wanted to say that I really appreciate that you take the time to respond to each individual comment.

In honor of the International Day Against Homophobia & Transphobia I present you a character I came up with a few weeks ago:

GENDERBENDER

Origin:
Reese Miller was born genderless and started to shift between sexes right after birth givin xir parents, despite being actually very open minded, at first a little of trouble to decide if xe was a boy or a girl before they decided to raise xir gender-neutral.

Powers:
Reese is a pansexual, genderfluid person with the ability to alter xir and other peoples gender completely to cellular level either permanently or temporarily. Xe can also remove genders for neutri or combine genders for hermaphrodite and influence (i.e. reverse) in this way the powers of any metahuman.

Thanks to DiCicatriz for the gender-neutral pronouns…

[Timedrop23]

Killerbug’s face is wicked.

[Trekkie]

What I wouldn’t give for xem to use xir power on me… ah well, the NHS’ll do.

Neat concept, though, and the design is nicely done.

[Jeimuzu]

I love how you blended the blue and pink on Genderbender’s costume, also I really dig the insignia.

Thank you! I really wish you all the best and all the happiness you deserve in your future.

THX! After all the rainbow euphoria going around some weeks/months ago, I wanted to try blending colors as well, but two were everything I could handle. And even that was harder than I thought.

*cough* *hack* Uh, crap. Where did all those cobwebs come from?! *looksreproachfullyatRedback* oO

So, I’m still working on a ton of new stuff, but until that’s ready to be shown (still struggling with a coherent story) I wanted to at least show a sign of life. And to accomplish that I present you the (for the latest contest) revamped version of my zodiac team. These characters were some of the first I did with HM3 – and looking back at what I fabricated back then, I think I certainly improved my skills.

Here’s the old version:

And here’s the new one:
