CantDrawParticipantThank you for the comments both here and on my power user profile, but let’s get back to business. I was going to submit this for the Psychics contest but didn’t have time to finish:
BIO:
Bhavishya had the ability to see the future, although he could not control when the visions came. With his magic turban he could let others see his visions. The day of the chronal jump, he had a feeling he should not go which was unusual since he normally only dealt in what he could see. Moments before the event he had a vision of what would take place but it was too late for him to warn the heroes. He lived into extreme old age, but disappeared 20 years before the heroes would return and is presumed dead.I may do a modern day version if I decide he’s alive or not, but I’ll probably do some other characters first. I played around with the coloring more so than I did on the last character, but I think I was able to create more depth. It’s a lot of work, and I’m not sure I’ll do it this way on everyone I create, but we’ll see.
CantDrawParticipantBlack Betty is one of your best! Great look and concept!
CantDrawParticipantSeismic and Payne are freakin’ cool! I like that you gave him a gut and the coloring on both is outstanding.
CantDrawParticipantNice!
CantDrawParticipantRobM – In regards to your inquiry on faces. Now, my experience is more with women’s faces, which I usually do smooth, so my technique may not help at all with men’s faces. I normally use a dark color for the face and then put a light colored gradient on top as my base. It creates more of a 3-D effect by making the face appear to round towards the edges. The rest of the zypping, IMHO, is a matter of what expression or effect you’re trying to convey. I nearly always apply some zypping near the eyes and nose. Also, zyppng the lips really makes them stand out.
AMS – as always, you do an awesome job with the look of your characters.
CantDrawParticipantHere is the modern American Phantom, now known as American Spirit:
BIO:
Because American Phantom is bound to the United States of America, she was not taken in the chronal jump. She has continued to be the primary hero of the Great States (as we sometimes called in the modern age) and has long awaited the arrival of the heroes that dissappeared. Because of her powers, she doesn’t age.
I have to say, I’m really happy how this turned out. I’ve been wanting to figure out a way to get a dress to like this for a while and finally got it. Also, I had planned on putting stars on the retro version of this character but didn’t like what I’d come up with. They definitely add something extra to the costume.
CantDrawParticipantModern-day “The Eagle:
BIO:
After the jump, The Eagle was contacted by the German Federation and offered a new serum that would only have to be taken once. However, she wasn’t told that anyone it had been tested on had died. Since she had taken the previous formula on a routine basis, the new concoction didn’t kill her, but it did make her crazy. Also, she was stronger and faster than before, making her more powerful than even The Standard. BTW, she has shunned her previous name for The Griffin.
CantDrawParticipantI like Redhood the most, but it’s hard to pick her over Linea/Lilac, for obvious reasons.
CantDrawParticipantThanks everyone for the great comments. I know haven’t done the modern version of The Eagle but I jast had to create a new hero for the amalgam contest:
BIO:
American Phantom (an amalgam of Phantom Lady and Miss America) has the ability to change the molecular structure of nearby items and surroundings. She often uses this ability to cloak her arrival and appearance.
I’ve made her a part of my retro-verse so I plan to do a modern version of her, as well.
CantDrawParticipantAbsolutely stunning!
CantDrawParticipantRetro-version of the Axis powers answer to Lady Yankee:
BIO:
A product of the Nazi’s Aryan soldier program, The Eagle, was Lady Yankee’s nemesis. With super-strength, regrowth, practically unbeatable hand-to-hand combat skills, she was the Allies’ most formidable foe. Her powers, however, had a limited window, and required continued injections.
CantDrawParticipantGosh, thanks. That’s high praise coming from you.
CantDrawParticipantFashion Contest:
I thought I’d go for regular folk on this one, so she’s not a part of the retro-verse. Of course, I couldn’t just do something normal, so tried something from the 30s-40s era. Hope you like!
CantDrawParticipantThose colors really pop!
CantDrawParticipantBeautiful!
