| World Tour in Comics: Israel v2.0

 2034  3
Almost in the beginning of my World Tour in Comics, I made this character for Israel:
Never really liked how it came out. Mostly due to my own fault, just a few weeks after started doing manips... But the fact remain that I really don't like many of my early images... and this one was no exception!  
No matter, not that I'm good this days but I like to think that I improved a tiny bit since those early days. 
Lately I've been republishing my World Tour in Comics at my new blog and thought, why not redo some of the ones I don't like?
So... Here is again, presenting for Israel: Uri-On (apparently, it writes both ways: Uri-On and Uri Oan), created by Michael Netzer.
From my old post:
Quote:
He was a former soldier given superpowers by a secret agency to defend Earth against an alien race. His bracelets has the control panel to a lot of different powers and they can also fire energy bolts.
The symbol on his chest represents a Jewish temple lamp (thank you internationalhero site).

| Tenax

So... CDA and Shump1 have been posting some pretty awesome images lately that they inspired me to dust off my Photoshop and finally finish one of the ongoing manips I have on my HD... 
Tenax is a character that was published France between 1971 and 1985 by the Editions Imperia , and when I was a kid it was a regular presence in my country comic books too.
Although it was a french publication, it was created by the spanish José María Ortiz Tafalla with the writing by Ramon Ortega, Pedro Muñoz e Eugenio Sotillos.
Tenax adventures are a mix of sci-fi and espionage where threats of conspiracy and alien attacks are abound.
Tenax is a vigilante in the pure tradition of masked heroes, he never leaves his mask and from the beginning of his adventures he asks his sister Nancy not to call him Peter anymore, but Tenax (that comes from tenacity).
Nancy is in charge of Scarlett Hill's rear base where she serves as a logistical support agent for her brother.
They have two domestic robots at their service: Mike 1 and Mike 2, one of the extraordinary inventions of their late father. These robots are very similar in looks to RD-D2 or V.I.N.CENT:
Interesting fact: Tenax was my first choice for France in my World Tour in Comics. It was a character I always wanted to make a manip.
About the manip: What can I say? I'm out of practice. There are some minor glitches that still bug me but I'm just not in mood to keep at it. Maybe some day I'll come back to it and try to improve them.

Saw this joke on my Facebook timeline and thought it would be fun to make an image with some toys and do a second image for this challenge...
Then everyone favorite muppets shows when I was doing an image search for toys and, hey! muppets are toys or at least they're close enough.
Inserted on old computer in the image, edited the wallpaper to remove the old tv antenna and voilá!
Oh, the title is just a wink to one of my favorite movies (hated the TV show, but that's me), and since I didn't know what to name this, it could be worse, no?
Edit Aug, 18: I wasn't happy with the way Google search was... it looked too modern for what I was aiming... and like something was missing... I kinda rushed this last night.
Now I think it's better. |

| Influence Map Too: OzZy's Sci-Fi Influence Map
Oz2y Monthly and other challenges 2018/6/19 18:02
1453 3
So yesterday some guy at Facebook asked a question that made me think of my sci-fi books and that lead me to make an Influence Map with some of the sci-fi books that in some way influenced me.
I also wanted to keep fox-orion original directives so I followed his rule to fill the map.
Keep in mind that the ones presented are NOT all and are not presented in any special order:
The Star Beast by Robert A. Heinlein (1954) - This one is here not only to represent the work of Heinlein but also because it remains to this day among my top 3 books from this author, that I am a huge fan of.
The Snow Queen by Joan D. Vinge (1981) - I love this author. Her work is among my favourite, this one specially with its sequel The Summer Queen. If you never read any sci-fi before, try this books. 
Titan by John Varley (1980) - One of my favourite authors, almost at the level of Heinlein in my book, although diferent styles and writing. And Titan is easily one of his top 3 books.
Dreamsnake by Vonda McIntyre (1979) - I HATE SNAKES! That's a fact, but reading this book almost made me want to have a pet snake... and that says it all.
Brightness Reef by David Brin (1996) - David Brin wrote some of the best books I have in my library. And I could easily choose other book to represent his work here but the Uplift Universe is his top work for me.
The Man in the Maze by Robert Silverberg (1968) - Silverberg is my second favourite sci-fi author and this book is among my top 3 from him.
Azazel by Isaac Azimov (1988) - Azimov is not in my top 3 sci-fi authors but I love his work none the less and Azazel is a funny set of short stories that I can read over and over again and always make me smile. But that might also be because of my dark sense of humor.
The Gameplayers of Zan by M. A. Foster (1977) - This book was only the second sci-fi book I ever read. I was 12 years old at the time and never forgot the how it made me feel.
Dinosaur Planet by Anne McCaffrey (1978) - I'm a big fan of dinosaur stories... and if you mix some sci-fi along, I'm hooked. Not to mention that I never read a book from Anne McCaffrey I didn't liked.
A Deepness in the Sky by Vernor Vinge (1999) - When I first read this book I almost gave up... Until I found A Fire Upon the Deep by the same author and gave it a chance. Worth it.
Lensman Series by E.E. "Doc" Smith (1934 - 1948) - The first sci-fi book I ever read was Lord Tedric. It was a gift from my godmother and that ignited my love for sci-fi.
To this days, I still think the Green Lantern Corp was based on the Lensman series by E.E. "Doc" Smith. Change my mind.
Marune: Alastor 933 by Jack Vance (1975) - Jack Vance wrote some great sci-fi stories that I read often but this one is still the one I like best.
Solaris by Stanisław Lem (1961) - When I first found the books from Stanislaw Lem, I thought it was more of the same sci-fi stories I was used to read from british and american authors. Big Mistake! |

This challenge is harder than it looks.
I tried not to include the same as I did last time but it was unavoidable and some of them lurked their way into this Influence Map as well. 
Anyways, since my free time to participate is almost none and I really want to make at least one map, I tried to include a wide range of influences.
Still doesn't even cover 1% of them. |
