Those last two are both incredibly awesome, but I especially like Swan Song. I’m nominating him for Hero of the Month.

Thanks. I’ll admit, I’ve been going through your gallery and looking at how you shade and trying to do similar stuff, so I’m glad you like it. As for the HOTM nomination……..

man,that looks bada$$!awesome darks and shades!

Thanks Scatman. Hopefully you’ll like this one too, as your redesign of the character inspired this version.

(There’s over 300 layers on this one character, about 250 of which is shading).

Psychosis

A criminal illusionist, who uses hallucinogenic gases and mind tricks to trap his victims inside their own heads. His true identity is unknown, due the fact he has never been caught, despite Swan-songs best efforts.

Awesome pose

Going quite a way back now, to revamp one of my oldest heroes.

Swan-Song

Using his martial arts skills and police/ army training, Tom Davis stalks the streets of Emerson City, seeking out the corrupt and hunting down the depraved. He is the Swan-Song of the ruling criminals; who have brought his home to it’s knees.

You should think about coming up with a sort of side kick like guy for Night Bird, maybe call him something like Bat Wing.

Sure, go ahead with the text. I’ll do it.

If I knew it was that easy I’d have asked ages ago.

Magnus Terra

The greatest servant of the Darkness, his mission is to destroy all goodness and plunge the universe into darkness by destroying the Light. He came very close to succeeding, until the Light and its guardians, Galahad and Dindrane, escaped to a different dimension. However, unknown to the Light, Terra was also transported, and now continues his hunt in our world, without caring who he hurts in the process.

The right leg doesn’t line up with the foot properly, I’d use the downward angled foot. The right knee is pointing off at an unnatural angle anyway, so you might want to address that first. The head needs to be lowered slightly and the right arm seems slightly too small, maybe use the more muscular bent arm and angle it differently. I’d also use a different left hand, the reverse normal hand. Then use two shortened polls and mask a third on a square over the join, so you can mask one spear to two hands.
Hope this helps.

[JR19759]

Thanks Weilyn.

After being transported into our dimension, Galahad and Dindrane took human forms in order to not attract attention from the servants of the Darkness. They wear jewelled wrist bands that, when they touch them, unleashes their true forms, allowing them to fight. Now going under the names Gillan and Diana, they live a ‘normal’ life in Metro City, guarding the Light. However, they have not gone unnoticed.

(Huge thanks to AMS for the pose. You will now and forever after be referred to as the ‘God Of Poses’.)

Holy smoke Night Bird.
He reminds me of someone.

[JR19759]

I love the colour and shading of the sword blades, they actually look like they are real gold. And I’m impressed that you made the headgear fin look like a realistic 3D spike. Awesome work.

[JR19759]

Awesome, thanks guys.

[JR19759]

That’s cool

[JR19759]

Another two for you.

Brought into being in another dimension, one of magic and the arcane, they are two of the greatest warriors ever known. They protect a bodiless essence of unknown power, known only as the Light. The light created them from the remains of his last two guardians, two great golden dragons, when servants of the Darkness slaughtered them. They are half dragon and as such are nearly invulnerable. They fight using their great swords, the Dragons Roar and the Dragons Bite. They emerged into this dimension recently, when the Light opened a wormhole to escape another attack from the Darkness. They now have to come to terms with this strange new world, taking human forms and blending in, to escape the glare of the ever present followers of the Darkness.

[JR19759]

Feel free, just make sure the character you use it with isn’t green

Anyway, messing around with new stuff, not shaded yet.
