| "A Heroes Call" Last Prophet (a day late)

Lars Potomek became known to the world in his early 20's after he was initiated into an elite mystical order at 19. Potomek took to mysticism like a duck to water. He managed to shoot through the order's ranks at unprecedented rate. Never had one so young so quickly risen through the ranks, becoming the youngest to ever wield such mastery over the mystic arts. He soon found himself challenging the very heads of the order, questioning both their motivation and skill. He found himself ejected from the order for such brash accusations but that hardly mattered as he had already mastered all they had to offer and advanced beyond that.
Potomek traveled the world studying all magics, black and white, founding several new orders of his own along the way in his insatiable quest for knowledge and power. His reputation grew both famously and infamously... in some places, he had been considered the holiest of saints and in others, the most depraved of sinners. In fact, Potomek was both... a complex man exploring all sides of himself. Finally, being consumed by his need for control, passion and bravado, he dared perform the most forbidden of rituals. It had never before been achieved, no one having the skills or being crazy enough to dare such a feat. Potomek managed to open a dimensional conduit between Heaven and Hell which passed through our world in the middle, jepordizing 3 worlds. God and Satan had managed to send armies of their fiercest angels and demons to stop all entries and departures from their respective realms but not before many angels and demons had escaped to our earthly plane. Potomek found himself in the remarkably rare position of having both God and Satan furious with him. Potomek ended up achieving what he'd hoped... although not entirely as he'd planned. Both God and Satan had granted him unprecedented powers for a mortal as he had been tasked to track down and return or remove any escaped Angels and Demons. While he now wielded great power, it was far from omnipotence. God and Satan had made a point of giving him barely enough power to defeat these angels and demons as part of his punishment for his misdeed. They also removed all traces of his identity and existence and dubbed him the Last Prophet, for never again would a mortal be allowed to be so bold. Should he fail in his tasks, he would suffer the eternal wrath of both God and Satan. It was a tricky enough task without being under the thumb of two opposing and contradictory all powerful bosses.
Now this witchbitch, Bandwidth had shown up attempting to exploit the conduit for her own evil purposes . He knew she must be stopped at any cost. |

PIJON: I know I haven't been around in a while and all the time I spent on this pic had alot to do with that. Starchild and I have been secretly plotting a 3D collaboration for some time now and this is the result. Neither of us had really seen any 3D collaborative pieces (nor 70's Neal Adams style X-Men for that matter) on any of "the sites" so we figured we'd give it a shot. I think 3D collaborations are rife with all sorts of possibilities and while I think we've barely scratched the tip of that iceberg, I'm quite happy with our results. We each picked 3 battle pairings and came up with models, poses and textures for each set and then I put it all together in Bryce. I tried using some other folks' stuff here so a shout out and thanks to Musketeer for the Cap texture, PhilH & JimM for Caps's boots and gloves and Dan Swofford for his Hawkeye figure. Thanks again, Star... it was blast, man! 
STARCHILD: No thank you sir! It was a pleasure working with you. I already had a lot of respect for what you can do with Bryce but watching you put together this scene peice by peice was truly a joy. Now before everyone starts patting me on the back..I really didn't do that much although I am proud of the textures I created for Beast, Angel, Havok [Pijon created the headpeice] and the Panther. This peice was inspired by nostalgia and the cover of Avengers#53.
For interested I will divulge my part in this peice. My characters were Angel vs Goliath, Beast vs Panther and Havok vs Vision. I did use stand alone figures of both Vision and Goliath [Hasdrubal] only because they were put together so well. The thought process behind each match-up was to show action and respresent battle without actually giving an advantage to either participant. I think both myself and Pijon pulled it off greatly.
The most trying part of this was selecting a proper background scene and once again PIJ pulled it off with the Roman Colloseum [where else?]. In conclusion this was fun and I can't wait until the next one. Hint Hint PIJ.

Pijon: I've been a fan of Lord Kuyohashi's for quite some time. I'd been impressed by his knowledge of the source material and an incredible ability to "mix it up" in terms of both subject matter and technique and his prolific output of material. When he publicly mentioned me as one of the people he wanted to collaborate with, I was more than a little surprised... I mean I knew he was always looking to try new things but with him being a 2D guy and me working 3D, I wasn't really sure that we'd ever find a middle ground which could showcase both of our styles. None the less, I was quick to agree to the collaboration as I did think it a most interesting opportunity. Actually getting to it was another matter though. Having limited time to work on art and being rather slow in my production, it took me close to a year to get to it. After Lord K asked me what I wanted to do, I'd mentioned characters of his I'd seen from a couple of previous pieces: White Cloak (an original of his) and Avengers Japan. He picked Avengers Japan and I asked him to send me some basic line drawings of the characters (with flat color if he liked) so that I could try a new technique I'd been working on of converting 2D art into 3D images. Well, Lord K quickly produced a series of great images for me to work with. On my end, things went poorly... as I'd only tried this style one previous time, I was finding it wasn't working out as I'd hoped. After several restarts and failures, I tried another collaboration and a few drawn pieces before returning to it. It went much better the second time around. So those are my excuses for making you wait so long Lord K! Anyway, I thouht his Manga/Anime influenced version of the Avengers the coolest thing (well, why do ya think i picked it?!!)! I still haven't perfected my 2D to 3D technique but I have refined it somewhat since my previous attempt. It was alot of work trying to pull this off but still, challenging and fun too. Hope you like it, Lord K!
Lord K: I have a pencil. Now I have pictures.Yay me!.

Yeah, I'm still trying to see just how many characters I can jam into a pic.
Bat prevents a young Cowpoke from making the fatal mistake of drawing on his deadly friend with his usual disarming sense of humor.
I figured I might be making a pretty obscure choice here till I discovered there's a new Bat Lash series out now while researching this pic on the net. Good to see John Severin still drawing the hell out of a comic at 85 yrs old! |
