Yes, congrats indeed. That’s a lot of posts. I hope that I have that many some day. Also Lei-Kung is awesome, really digging the way you did the lightning/thunder in the background.

@JR19759 & Jeimuzu: Thanks, though I feel that I am not as active these days.

@Jeimuzu: Thanks again, a bit of experimenting with outlines.

@prswirve: If I ever settle on a direction, I will post more.

Any extremely confusing and rushed design.

I like her! She’s very colorful, which is always nice

Thanks, DiCicatriz. I was going for the Oklahoma state colors of green and white with the University of Oklahoma’s maroon. She looks like a Christmas tree. Like I said, last minute idea. Neither cloth nor thread wasted.

Very cool, I love the idea of a Flapper superhero. You really nailed the Flapper look, I wonder what super powers she has.

I bent / broke a rule on this one: no real-life person. A simple name change would have avoided that. One could argue that historical figures are “public domain.” Countess Elizabeth Bathory died in 1614… or did she? As some know, I have an unfinished space opera called “The Three Sisters.” Maybe some day I will publish it.

The “quick rundown”:
Our solar system has the most active wormholes of any in the known universe. Various aliens use them as way stations, jump points, and even battlefields. One particular race called the nuppa used their technology to enslave earthlings to fight their wars. These abductions gave rise to human tales of elves and fairy folk haunting the woods of Central Europe.

The nuppa were highly skilled in cloning technology. Their scientists decide to build a cloning facility in Hungary. In exchange for secrecy, they agree to teach one human the art. That human was Countess Elizabeth Bathory who begins her own experiments. When she is locked in the tower for her crimes, the nuppa take her to their planet. The official records say that she was found dead when in fact what they found was a lifeless clone.

Upon her arrival, Elizabeth is tasked with cloning more humans to fight the nuppa’s wars. Instead, she designs a plague that kills nearly every nuppa on the homeworld. When the male humans insist on ruling, Elizabeth unleashes another plague. The only inhabitants remaining are women of both species.

The Countess was pleased. She set about building her new empire. With the use of cloning technology and artificial conception, Elizabeth created an all-female society with humans ruling over nuppas. Almost five hundred years later, her dynasty thrives as the military of House Bathory will soon destroy the last resistance on the solar system’s other two inhabitable planets.

Atomic this is awesome i really interesting the more story of Erzsé and Rebeka (hungarian mode) and the three sister saga.

@Jeimuzu: Thank you. I designed Chickadee for the Character Challenge. Didn’t give much thought to her origin or actual powers. Probably something magic-based as I often use green energy to represent the supernatural and psychic. I have added her to my meta-verse.

@H@RLEK(!)N: And thank you. I have not been satisfied enough with the actual story to post it. How Elizabeth went from Hungarian royalty to Empress of a solar system would be the first book. It would be an expanding universe over several books after that! As for Erzsé and Rebecka, yes, I have more ideas for them. They are also going through re-writes.

I was feeling particularly lazy and predictable. From Baltimore, Maryland, an Edgar Allen Poe-inspired pyrotechnic…

Character Design Contest ♯31- Same Old Song And Dance

Design something musical. First up, a nod to Brit-punk. I like the logo so much, that I had stickers made. Not for sale just decoration. I slap them on packages that I ship from work.

Three versions of a side character in my meta-verse. Cherrie Hart is a pop icon. Though she has no direct interaction with any heroes or villains, her ubiquitous presence serves as an “anchor.” Akin to a comic panel with the Eiffel Tower in the background. The reader knows that the setting is Paris. If there is a Cherrie Hart poster or billboard in the background, the reader knows that he or she is reading one of my stories.
