I would LOVE to see what you could do with my latest creation Purple Heart
Something like that? π
He’d be doing well as an antagonist to a group of mercenaries/ex-military/militia guys I was recently working on … π
Would really love to see someone do something brilliant with this either as own take or as art trade as I am stumped for ideas right now.
Here you go – hope I didn’t took too many liberties with the redesign … π
I think he could use some buddies. How about “Silver Star”, “Bronze Star”, and “Flying Cross”? And their arch-nemesis would of course be a time-displaced Nazi called “Iron Cross”. As for a team name – how does “Superior Unit” sound? π
PS: If you want to have the saved text to see how it was done, just say the word …
Thanks a lot! But I really don’t think that your work is all too “amateurish” – I for one like it. π
If you look at my characters from when I first posted here (almost exactly 3 years ago), you can see that they didn’t look much different to yours.
I may have improvd a lot since then by just experimenting with items, but I still struggle with fancy poses and it took me what felt like ages to get a grip on “zypping”. Alas, there are still many guys/gals here whose greatness I’ll probably never achieve – just look at DJubys last masterpiece. *sigh*
As regarding the topic “design”: I get a lot of inspiration by browsing through other peoples artwork over at DeviantArt and of course from the works of my fellow ‘machiners. π
Anyways …

And here’s his gramps:
The original Blue Beetle was Dan Garret (note the spelling with only one t!) – a rookie police officer who wore a special bulletproof costume and used a gun as well as various technical gadgets such as a wrist-mounted mini-radio, a “Beetle Signal” flashlight, a “BeetleMobile” car and a “BeetleBird” airplane. He later gained super powers such as super strength and healing abilities, increased speed, heightened senses, and enhanced intellectual capacity from the secret experimental “vitamin 2X”.The orginal Blue Beetle (Fox Features) is a public domain character: http://pdsh.wikia.com/wiki/Blue_Beetle_(Fox)
Note: Not to be confused with the Charlton Version of the Blue Beetle, who was Dan Garrett (with 2 t’s) – an archaeologist who discovered an ancient magical blue scarab that gave him super strength, flight, and the ability to shoot lightning bolts.
