| April Herald Challenge entry: Skollhati

This was far more difficult than I expected it to be. My initial thought was to adapt Cloak for the role, with the starred background being within the folds of his cape.
After a few false starts, I found not only the skull created from smaller skulls, but also what seemed to be a perfect picture for a departing Galactus.
"Skollhati" was also not the first choice of a name that lept to mind, as my initial thought for the woman was for her face to bear the eclipso style sun and moon graphic. The name "Solmani" lept to mind..the Norse gods of the sun and moon.
"Skollhati" seems to fit better, as it is a combination of the names of the wolves who chased them through the sky, who would devour them on the day of Ragnarok.
So...here's my entry :). |

| May Challenge- Workforce: Morituri
Kuyler Dead Artists 2008/1/1 1:02

Unemployment hits everyone hard, and temp agencies provide a ready source of cheap labor without worrying about the costs of benefits, increased tax status, and so on.
But think about the number of heroes who have died in comics recently. Where do the new fodder...erm, heroes...come from?
Strikeforce: Morituri ("We Who Are About To Die") had a short run, but gained something of a cult following, based around an earth where aliens invaded and conquered, and the only way to fight back was a process that gave a person superpowers...but killed them within a year.
A lot of the pics used in this were "too small" or "wouldn't work" for other projects, so it was great actually being able to use them. A lot of work went into this.
The "small print" under the toll free number is blurred purposefully, but reads:
Workforce:Morituri involves genetic manipulation
and may not be suitable for all prospective talent.
One year contracts available. Workforce: Morituri
is not liable for ???????Morituri Effect???????, and all prospective
clientele must sign a waiver before beginning
employment. Live a hero????????s life for a year!
Enjoy! |

| First effort at doing something for this site, the Michael Des Barres pic seemed to just scream out to be modded. Given that Dr. Light has been getting a lot more time in print lately, it seemed to be a choice that made sense. |

I found the base image in the Heromorph Cookie Jar (cheers to Comicfan for the clean up). Original Artwork by Bruce Timm.
The background was by Tony Hayes (bogwoppet) although I have distressed it somewhat to fit this image.
Coloring etc done in PSP X2
My first image of 2008 so Happy New Year!
Oh and title is from the poem/song The Little Yellow Idol |

Cartoon Network is airing their last Futurama marathon over this past weekend.
I'm going to miss Bender and crew. Watching a Futurama re-run for the umpteenth time while I played a mmorpg or set up another render had become a staple of my late sunday nights 
So here is my tribute to the show (maybe one day I'll try to give Leela or Amy a try [or maybe even one of those giant amazon women they met once ^_^ ).

Another color-job based on Jamie's line art, though this one was mostly for me (and thus not quite as 'polished' as the Rogue piece). Original line art at http://windriderx23.deviantart.com/art/phoenix-71763599
And in case you don't look, as with Rogue, there is no shading, effects, etc in the orignal line art. It's my fixation with fire, not Jamie's.  |

Okay, so we'll do color-jobs too, then! I don't mind. I don't have too many uploaded, though, but it'll give me a bit more frequent a presence here than every eight months with a new Light in the Shadows pic.
Comissioned color job, original line art by Jamie (windriderx23), for a client who then had me lay on the colors. PSP, as always.
For the original line art, if you're terribly curious, head to Deviantart and Jamie's account - http://windriderx23.deviantart.com/art/rogue-72434940 |

| Gambit - A Light in the Shadows

The fourth image in my Light in the Shadows series, this one actually came after a specific request sparked the idea. Gambit, unlike the three previous entries in this collection, is by no means a hero. Where Phoenix, Storm and Nightcrawler are lit, picked out of the shadows by their own ability, Remy's light is little more than a candle's glow.
What better way to depict a character so enigmatic as the cajun thief, always suspected (and sometimes confirmed) as the traitor?
Painted in PSP in the style of Phoenix and Storm. Original was posted (today!) at my DeviantArt account. |
