Great scene!!

Unfortunately Lady Heromorph's gone missing so she can't be here to congratulate you so the admins congratulate you on making Top Images from the 1st week of November, 2013

perhaps obsolete was a poor choice of words but unsung does cover it. i do think that at the very least a pair of nice but bloodied legs would do enough to imply the nature of the night's activities.

Thanks Star! ...although I'm not so crazy about the word obsolete in this particular instance (although you are technically correct as he has been replaced by a newer and younger female version). It's just that the word also implies "out of date" and I think the Question was actually well ahead of his time. The Question was dark and gritty with no qualms about killing. This was an incredibly bold move back in '67 when all the major publishers and editors were still quaking in their boots over fears of upsetting the much vaunted "comics code authority". This is part of the reason that Ditko was developing the Question (and Blue Beetle and Captain Atom) for such a minor company as Charlton. He was willing to forgo the cash just to get his innovative ideas out there. I think it might bear noting that major characters like Punisher, Daredevil, Wolverine and Batman have all taken a turn toward that direction but it was Ditko who blazed the trail for everyone to follow. Of course, eventually DC gobbled up the character rights and immediately started screwing things up! First, the Watchmen were supposed to be a revival of those Charlton characters (Rorschach=Question, Dr. Manhattan=Captain Atom, Nite Owl=Blue Beetle) but DC forced writer Alan Moore to reinvent them into (slightly) new characters. So rather than ACTUALLY have the Question portrayed as Ditko intended, they made Moore change it. Next they handed it off to Denny O'Neil (whose work with Neal Adams on Batman and Green Lantern/Green Arrow I hold in the highest regard). O'Neil decides he doesn't agree with the politics or philosophy of Ditko's character so makes him have a near death experience in the very 1st issue and reborn as a Zen Buddhist. Personally, I find that lazy writing and I think his editor should have given him a good slap in the head. None the less, it wasn't a badly written series overall (beyond the shoddily explained personality transplant) tho a bit overly intellectualized and philosophical. Still, I rather enjoyed the little I'd read of Rick Veitch's oddball 2005 Question mini-series where the gas which adheres his mask to his face is a hallucinogen and he's a tripped out shaman warrior Check out his run-ins with Superman from the series here: http://scans-daily.dreamwidth.org/3604376.html
As far as the critique, well... you know me... always trying new things. Part of the experiment here was to attempt to imply what was going on offscreen. I was attempting to show the baddie turning, slightly annoyed by being interrupted from his violent work. I was hoping the bloody clothes, hand and wrench might imply that though perhaps I'm being too subtle. So you think adding a battered woman might help, eh? Interesting.

NICE! Although not a big Question fan [really knew nothing about the character until his appearances on JL Unlimited] but somehow your representations of these obsolete and unsung characters always sheds a brighter light on them. This is a very top-notch render, love the half-question smoke efffect too. Fantastic texture work on the badguy in the foreground. but something about the scene looks almost unfinished. I'm not sure what it is. although its obvious that the brute in the foreground is the antagonist..i don't really get that impression from this scene [he almost seems uninterested and a tad too calm]...perhaps the addition of a battered or unconscious female would add more drama to this scene.

Thanks MB and good call, DW. Much help from Stonemason (Dark Places: Back Alley), Predatron (streetlamp & bg building from City Streets and jacket from M4 business suit) and Ron(Ron's smoke, grime, stains and splashes). M4 dynamic jeans, big sweater for freak5 and Duke hair used on Mr. Badwrench. The wrench itself is from Tools and toolbox. All of these items available from Daz3D. Question's overcoat, pants and mask are of my own devising.

Much better and well Balanced

Nice... great Render...

Thanks DW. Took yr advice.

I like this.something about the leather gloves make it look out of place to me
