Thanks DiCicatriz, but I have to admit that I was just too lazy to create another alien after all the work on the mech – so I used one of my first (simpler) creations with hm3…
My humble contribution to the Character Design Contest ♯27- Cover Version:
I made the same cover in photoshop yesterday and posted it in the covers-forum, but I made also a “hm-only” version at the same time especially for this contest. This is it…FATMAN & LITTLE BOY
Roscoe and Flint Cornell are brothers with extraordinary dangerous powers.Roscoe aka “Fatman” is capable to eat and digest absolutely any matter and convert the energy obtained in this way in a very short time into pure body mass, making him not only bigger and bulkier, but also virtually immobile and/or unstoppable once in motion. In his “fat mode” he can also produce and secrete a very deadly poison gas.
Flynt alias “Little Boy” on the other hand can shrink down to microscopic size at will. In this process his body mass gets compressed exponentially to the shrinking. The smaller he is, the more compacted his mass is and accordingly increased his strength and resilience will be – this way he can get virtually invincible. On the smallest almost subatomic size a punch from him has the power of a small nuclear bomb, but he can only stay so small for a very short time since he is in danger to explode otherwise.

Another contribution to the cover contest:
As a young man Dorian Hargrave flirted with a pretty young girl in a bar, unaware that she secretly slipped roofies in his beer.
When he awoke, he found himself tied to a table in a dark room full of satanic symbols and objects, and saw beside him his kidnapper who held a strange dagger clasped with both hands over his chest while reciting verses in a language unknown to him.
Before he could really understand what was happening, the air in the room was filled with an acrid stench of sulfur and a repulsive ugly demonic figure manifested itself out of nowhere who called on the girl to sacrifice Dorian in his name to obtain infinite magical power.
But just at the moment when the tip of the knife touched his chest over the heart, a bright light flared up at the contact point and threw his assailant with a massive shockwave on the wall behind her. In the following chaos Dorian managed to free himself and to snatch the knife from the girl, who looked now no longer very young and beautiful, which he then immediately pushed in the chest of the half materialized demon.
Here, another flash of light appeared and the demon was torn into a thousand pieces with a last cry. At the same time the witch who had kidnapped him, aged faster and faster before his eyes until she crumbled to dust.
A few days after these incidents Dorian Hargrove discovered that he suddenly possessed the ability of psychic perception, which allows him to feel any kind of paranormal activity and see spirits.
Since those events Dorian studies the mystical powers, collects magical artifacts and books of all kinds and uses his supernatural powers to track down witches, demons, spirits and other magical creatures and to “kill” them.
He seems to be completely immune to any form of magic, and to be able to throw it back at those who tried to attack him with magic. He is also able of to “bless” any object that he touches in unsolved ways and turn it into a weapon against the supernatural.
He is obviously a nemesis of the “Psychotwins” Alisa and Alexey Rasputin and has made ​​it his mission to destroy these at any price.
Enough with the covers – back to the characters:
THE ARCANE
Daren Breaden is a privat eye / sorcerer with a partially demonic heritage working on cases related to the supernatural and otherwise weird – a psychic detective with a liability to the occult if you like. When using magic he takes on some demonic features (like his horns and the tail) and his powers include the ability to perceive ghosts and other supernatural entities. He often works together with the “Witch Hunter” – but most of the time reluctant, since he never knows when his occasional partner who sees the world in black and white (where all magic is black) will kill him due to his demonic side..

thx torog! i just came home home from a party (2 am here now) and i’m still a little bit drunk, but since i’m in a good mood: the first one who can tell me what’s written on the wall and where part of it comes from, wins a redesign of one of his characters in my own style (when i’m sober again) … *prost*
LOL! Appearances are deceiving. A little hint: It’s a language you should know without any translating …
Another magician:
TECHNOMANCER
At an age of 75 years Pierre Laroche was still a prestigious professor of physics and chemistry at the Sorbonne in Paris, where he one day discovered on one of his daily strolls through the stately old pile an ancient alchemy lab in the catacombs under the university.From manuscripts found there, he gathered that the laboratory once belonged to the infamous alchemist and Illuminati Alessandro Count of Cagliostro, who 1785 stayed in Paris and undertook trials with artifacts here, which were said to possess magical properties. In one of these manuscripts Cagliostro claimed he actually managed to isolate the source of magic itself and to make it useable at his pleasure.
Knowing that Cagliostro was a notorious conman in his time and his statements regarding the alchemy were to enjoy with caution, Professor Laroche held his discovery secret and took the documents home with him, where he studied them closely in the following days thereby discovering several alchemical formulas that looked quite promising.
Finally, driven by curiosity, he tried one of these formulas and concocted a brew in his private laboratory that, according to Cagliostro, should give a person eternal youth and control over magical energies – a prospect that seemed very tempting to the professors due to his age and infirmity. Following the motto “nothing to lose” Laroche drank the concoction and collapsed shortly afterwards in great pain until he finally lost consciousness.
When he woke up the next day and looked in the mirror, the shock hit him because the sight of a young man in it. In the days following he realized that he, in addition to his regained youth, seemingly possessed the ability to use electrical devices like his toaster or his coffeemaker without electricity.
Pretending to be his own grandson, whom he had signed over his entire fortune, Laroche sank into obscurity and went on a secret trip around the world looking for documents and artifacts about alchemy. Within a few years Laroche was the greatest living authority in the world on the subject of alchemy, having discovered or invented countless potions with strange properties.
Over time he became arrogant and began to use his knowledge for personal profit. He eventually became the supervillain “Technomancer” who amplifies his latent magical abilities through the use of technical equipment.
Laroche does not age and has a greater stamina than could be expected. Besides his enormous alchemic powers (such as elemental transmutation, creating golems and magical items, and so on) he is able to fuse magic and technology entirely and can in this way, among others, bring machines to life and control them, communicate mentally with computers, transfer his spirit into machinery, create technical constructs of all kinds and much more. He can also make magical devices operating similarly to technological devices (like mirrors serving as video screens) and use technology in other ways then intended – like TV remotes to control a persons motions or even reality itself – the latter to a lesser degree though.

And we have a winner!!! Post a character and/or a concept here and I’ll do a redesign of it.
Actually it’s “Dantes Gate” – the idea was a gateway-spell that opens a portal to other realms. In this case a hidden alley in a film noir world full of magic – so not really hell, but let’s be honest: some dark alleys in big cities can become hell on earth very fast if you don’t watch your step…
