CantDrawParticipantThank you! The pose was actually one of the easier ones I’ve done since the only positioning I had to do was the legs. I’m glad you like the shading, I went back and forth on whether it was too reflective. I’m most proud of the jacket since it took 4 or 5 of them pieced together to get the right look. I wanted a single-button jacket that opened up a bit and made it look like she was a- shakin’-and-a-groovin’.
CantDrawParticipantLovin’ the custom clothes. Great job!
CantDrawParticipantThat is much better! Definitely feelin’ the devil vibe – Mwah ha ha.
CantDrawParticipantI like the floating rocks, and I think the brown works rather well.
CantDrawParticipantSong Contest – Female Elvis Impersonator:
I went with the classic Elvis hip-shaking pose. This was definitely a lot of fun to create.

CantDrawParticipantPulp (sticking with the movie references)
CantDrawParticipantRhapsody is really cool. I’m a sucker for custom clothes and hair. And I think the white laster works on Johnny Red.
CantDrawParticipantI went back and forth on how I would do his face and finally settled on boredom because it’s lonely when you’re on top and have no one to challenge you. To me, a bored dictator is a dangerous dictator. However, I prefer the masked version.
CantDrawParticipantPlease Welcome, Ruler of EarthRealm, Techno-Master #1, aka Black Dragon, formerly known as The Pelican:

BIO:
The most popular Earth hero of modern times, The Pelican, partnered with Dr. Emily Silver to create the Silver Sanction. Unfortunately, his motivation was to learn how to operate Dr. Silver’s nanite technology and take it over. His plans came to fruition upon the capture of his own team on it’s final mission.The Pelican, as the world would find out too late, was a mask for his true persona, Black Dragon, the greatest criminal mastermind of all time. His true power is the ability to borrow or steal other heroes powers that are genetically-based. Every ability he has was stolen from someone else, including his intelligience, immortality, strength, healing factor, muscle mass, along with many others. BD originally appeared as several heroes in the 1940s, including Mentallo and the Mystic, before settling on The Pelican in the 1950s. Because of his intelligence, BD is an accomplished mentalist and used this skill to conceal his true identity.
As The Pelican, he was able to learn other heroes’ abilities and weaknesses. Also, he could take out rivals with the free help of those same heroes. Ultimately, what he wanted, like any villain, was power and to rule the world. In fact, it was during this time that he discovered the Queen of Malecia, killed her and worked out the secret of the Dark Mists (you can find her in my other gallery). As a bonus, BD now had a ready-made secret lair in the form of a hidden country.
So the question remains, why did he enslave Qi and Uni-Man? BD desired Uni-Man’s universe seed and to know the secret of Qi’s life energy. While using Uni-Man as his power source, BD is also trying to extract the seed from his body to have for himself. As to Qi, he knows that her ability does not come from Earth but from an undiscovered dimension, which is why he invaded Sumina. Although Sumina is not the source, it is the entrance to it.

CantDrawParticipantWow! That is one of the coolest looking characters I’ve ever seen!
CantDrawParticipantGood to see you back! Man, that’s a crapload of good charcters you posted. Your costuming is second to none. BTW, I saw your comment on DiCicatriz about wanting to do better faces. Speaking truthfully, I’ve been on HM since 2.5 but didn’t start posting in March because I finally starting to understand how to do faces. I’ll give you two tips: eyesbrows and shading. Changing the position of a pair of eyesbrows will change the expression of face without having to change the other pieces. When it comes to shading, there’s not one right way to do. I mainly use the gradient circle, but others like to use insignias. Just experiment like crazy and I’m sure you’ll get the hang of it. To me the face is the best part of a character.
CantDrawParticipantNow that’s creepy. I thought it was enough to look over my shoulder, now I’ve got to look up walls. Thanks a lot!
