| While this image was rendering (and it took a really long time with Indirect Lighting enabled), I got to thinking about what was used in this image and it kinda inspired something else that I'll be showing very soon. Just have to throw it together. |

At this point I have as much clearance in the Mantis' empire as any council member and nobody bats an eyelash when my fighter comes screaming through the main starport on a bee line trajectory for the palace. As I look down I see the place is surrounded but that the troops are holding their advancement. I leap from the cockpit and land just at the command station outside. Troops move aside as I make my way tot the palace entrance. The sounds of battle ring from inside and and the earth beneath my feet rumbles. As I reach for the massive palace doors I take note of dozens of dead bodies strewn about like debris in a storm. They never stood a chance against whatever is inside and I may not either but I have to try. I make a mad dash to the wards the explosions and gunfire and the closer I get the sicker I get bodies are strewn everywhere. Every defense in the place is torn to shreds. At the very moment my fingers touch the throne room door there's an explosion and my suit registers massive overloads in energy. My armor takes it bur it's not good enough. I feel the impact of the explosions even through this updated armor and I'm sent hurtling backwards. I'm stunned even if only for a few seconds but it's enough. I hear the muffled monologue of the Black Mantis.
"Yeah you got the skills , but I have done this dance before. Being who you are you know you're not the first to try this stunt. Though I will say you're definitely the most devious."
As I focus my visions I see the shape of another man dressed in the Imperial Black and Gold and when he speaks I cannot believe my ears. His voice is that of the Black Mantis himself.
"You know all too well what I am capable of and I have over a millennia to prepare for you, and believe me I have prepared well. Today you die and I WILL take back my throne!"
What? As I rise unsteadily, and my vision clears the scene is ghastly. The council members, each nearly as powerful as the Black Mantis himself have been tossed around like rag dolls. They all lay unconscious, but alive. Had this man killed them they would've simply moved their essences to a new body and been right back to battle completely refreshed. This way however, he has taken them out of the fight. In the center of the room on a pedestal is a large glowing blue gem roughly the size of a man's head which appears to be the source of whatever is keeping them down. It doesn't take much to figure out this is the guy who attack the Black Mantis the first time. However, now he's has everyone down. As the two combatants circle each other I can little else but watch. I look around for Spydra and find her not far from where I landed after the explosion.
"Kid, wake up. WE have to move back."
A quick scan of her injuries reveals a severed spinal cord and a several broken bones. Her wounds are serious but not life threatening, she'll be fine in a couple of days if we survive this. I start to lift her up and that's when I realize that the servos in my armor are about shot. She's not exactly heavy though so I manage. Returning to the room I am witness to one of the most epic fights any man has ever had the privilege of seeing. The form an grace of the Black Mantis and his foe move are something I will never forget. A thousand times I have wanted to knock that smug attitude from his face and only do I realize how insanely ridiculous that thought has been. As the two gods do battle the whole building shudders as does everything for miles. The palace itself must be very specially made otherwise the foundations would've gave under the first attack and we'd all be standing in a crater. My armor begins repairing itself and I start to feel a tad safer but I'm still hiding behind what remains of the massive pillars of the palace hall. Fire, Lightning, and magics more ancient than the Elven races themselves flies furiously, along with sword blows and martial arts skills I can't begin to describe. The two men are so evenly matched it's no wonder I thought The Black Mantis was behind everything. Then the monologue starts and I realize..he kinda was.
"You are a shabby imitation of the real thing pretender."
Yells Mantis smugly
"...and you're not the first to try this, I have put down clones, and shapeshifters, Magical mirrors and even versions of me from other realities you'll be no different?"
"Because I am none of those things. What separates us is not a dimension, or an inferior genetic code, or even an entire reality...what separates us is that YOU made it out of that worm hole and I didn't. Not for a thousand years, both Reaper and I both were trapped there and left to rot. But now MY Reaver, stands before you, master of death."
I'm not sure of the significance of Reaper, or Reaver or whatever name he's going by but what the new guy said has Mantis taken aback a little. Then the Black Mantis himself make the significance all too clear.
"What? Impossible. No one can defeat Death, I know I've tried. It's how I got where I ma today."
"You mean your Deal, where you know when the time of your death is coming? That's little arrangement was the first thing I took care of. It's why Reaver stands there silent and waiting. He's waiting for one of us to die! I took away your, MY greatest advantage and it was well worth it."
My greatest advantage? Clones alternate versions...By the gods...Is he? The Black Mantis? Some twisted version of himself? It all makes sense sure but how?
"Black Mantis you will die here today. There will be no more Black Mantis only the Black Scorpion will remain and I will be rid of you once and for all. I watched you for centuries, running this empire like a spoiled child...I couldn't believe that was me I was staring at...so at the very least I want to thank you for opening my eyes. I never realized how precarious my sanity was until I watched you lose yours."
"YOu think me insane pretender? I have made this empire strong, quadrillions upon quintillions of ships hundreds of whole realities are under my command. The powers I can bring to bear on any single reality..."
"Are ridiculous! Who needs that much power? Why? You're a power hungry madman and you play with lives lives as a child playing with toys. How many have killed for the sake of your power? How many lives were simply thrown aside so you could be the greatest?" billions, trillions? You stand on a blood stain that stretches across infinity. I ma here to end that."
Beneath my helmet my jaw is agape. I had never truly contemplated the level of Mantis's brutality. I never knew his lust for power. Sure I knew he had ungodly amount of resources and raw power but I never contemplated the lengths which he must have gone through to get it all. Surely he had to have killed people even billions which I was vaguely aware of, but trillions?"
"Hah! I have wiped out entire realities! You are hardly a match for me."
Magic flies from their fingers and erupts from every direction as they battle, my sensors are very nearly overwhelmed by it all and I realize I'm in a very bad place to be. It takes almost no time for my systems to reboot and I start making my way to the council members while these two try intently to kill one another. As I begin dragging the others to safety it occurs to me that they haven't unleashed any of their legendary cosmic powers. Power I know fort a fact they possess.
The battle continues to rage above and around me and while I'm sure it's not the case they seem oblivious to my presence. Either they don't care, or they don't think me significant enough to bother with...probably the latter.
I get the last of the council out and start to go back in then I feel a hand on my shoulder. Raven has come to.
"Obsidian, the Black Mantis. He's the one who attacked us."
"Saywhatnow?"
I am of course totally stunned by her words.
"He's completely lost his mind. Karr knew this and confided in us."
"Whadafug?"
"The Black Mantis has been dangerously unstable for countless eons. But recently, he's just lost it. It all started with you."
"Um...what?"
"You were like a prize...he wanted to see if he could get you to be like me and Karr."
"Who the hell is Karr? That guy in there going toe to toe with the self-proclaimed "Multiverse's Greatest Assassin? Is that who you mean? Why the hell does the Black Mantis even care about me? I have never understood that."
Raven removes her mask revealing a beauty I forgot she possessed, at once I forget where I am and can only see her eyes. She reaches up and removes my helmet. Her gentle hands are warm as she touches my cheek, and the pain from ten thousand years memories that comes next is so intense. I feel my head will shatter. Raven shows me the entire history of the Black Mantis and herself and the entire empire. I barely feel the tears roll down my face and I watch the atrocities he's committed in the name of POWER. I see time and again, the black Mantis fighting versions of himself that were often much weaker than he. He even somehow unlinked himself from time and killed his parents to assure no one could ever go back in time and destroy him, he has killed every alternate reality version of himself that he has ever encountered...save two. The woman who now holds my face in her hands...and....me? As violently as this vision began so too does it end as I recoil in horror at the revelation that he and I are the same person. With tear filled eyes I stare back at yet another version of..me? Raven, Black Mantis, Karr, and myself...all the same person? NO wonder, all these years, he was just using me as a game? That bastard, that complete wretched bastard! Save the universe? Of course he thought I could do it...over and over, and over....because with a little help I could be just like him. Or worse yet, was he just trying to see if I could become a threat to him? Was he weighing my fate...my very life in his hand?
"NO...no no no no no NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!"
I grab my hemet and put it back on...I may not be the one to kill him but I can watch ...him...die!.
As I walk back into the palace with renewed purpose the two men look exhausted...and are breathing heavily. It's a stalemate. Black Manits looks back at me and laughs.
"Well, Black Scorpion it seems there's one last card for me to play. Obsidian, do me the honor of finishing off this upstart."
"What?"
How the hell does he think it's even remotely possible?
"You have always been able to hide from anyone, and I have given you the power to destroy gods. use it and destroy this fake, pretender."
Mantis is right...as I walk towards the two nearly exhausted assassins...assassins...like me. In a blink I'm invisible, no one can detect me, by any means, I am the master of shadows with this armor, you can't see me, or hear me, no one can sense me, no danger sense works against me, no psionics, not even magic will give me away. Even mighty cosmic beings cannot detect my presence...Absorbium is wonderful. And as I plunge my sword through the Black Mantis's demonic, unforgiving, manipulative, wretched, evil, psychotic heart. I am pleased to say I'm the man who killed the Multiverse's greatest assassin.
"It's not murder when you kill yourself I say...it suicide."
Blood spews from beneath his mask, and he and I both know what comes next but I ca't let him die without knowing why. As I feel his divine power flow into me I lean close and through clenched teeth born of decades of him manipulations, and the loss I have suffered as a result of his whims I simply say
"Whatever made you think I would not turn my blade on you? I heard your exchange with this man...I know what you've done to get where you were..Raven was kind enough to show me everything you sonofabitch..Rot in hell. Just as the last of his divinity enters my body he lets out a chuckle.
"I always get the last laugh." He says as his body begins to fade away.
""NO!" Karr screams as he tosses me aside,
"I won't let you do it!"
But as he grabs hold of the Black Mantis's costume it's too late and he simply kneels there holding the empty suit in his hands.
"He's gone."
"Good riddance."
"NO mortal, he's not dead, he's done the one thing I was certain he wouldn't."
"What is that exactly."
"He ascended his consciousness and became one with the universe."
"That's a bad thing?"
"It means some day he may return, though no one ever has."
Well at least it's over...for now.

Obsidian 2015/9/4 12:12
2057 5
I have tracked down Nechronos to a strange looking temple, but as I enter I realize something is amiss there's a temporal signature to be certain, but no bad guy...the inscriptions on the walls are so ancient that my universal database has nothing on them. I approach what appears to be a computer interface and examine the keys, but as I approach I feel something pulling at me. I try to jump back but it's got me, I can't move...I can't move? I'm a freaking god for crying out loud what is this thing? Then I hear a voice, a voice I have not heard in some time, one that used to soothe me but now fills my very being with fear and dread.
"I will have what is mine!!!"
The voice is booming and echoes in the vast chamber and still I struggle against it in utter futility then i see it, the form of a giant spider with the torso of a dark elf.
"Moonshaddow?"
A split second after I utter the name my body explodes in pain. I can feel the divine power being drawn from me and into her. It is unlike anything I have ever felt and none of my Ninja training had ever prepared me for. I feel as though every bone in my body is being crushed and then set aflame. I can't help but scream it lasts but a few moments but they feel like an eternity. Then just as quickly as it began it ends, and the pain vanishes. I am keenly aware that I am no longer a god and that my powers are completely gone, moreover my armor has returned to normal, and considering I was wearing armor provided to me by the Black Mantis that's pretty spectacular.
I'm not sure if the being in front of me is Moonshadow or not, but she was killed by an immortal with my sword so she shouldn't be able to return to the living. The giant spider-elf in front of me speaks again and in the blinding light I still can't quite make out her face. The voice however, that I recognize.
"Do not fear my darling."
Tears well up in my eyes as the I am calmed to my very soul. I don't know how it is possible but my Moonshadow has returned.
"H-How? You were...he was immortal...with my blade. This shouldn't be possible."
"No darling he was not immortal. None of them are, they are pale shadows of the original and their lifespans are limited. Their creator is tied to them and when his life ends theirs will too."
"What? But they're trying to help me, despite his control."
"No, they are trying to help their master who has commanded them to destroy you."
I run to her arms hoping it's not some sort of illusion, she stretches out her arms to hold me once more and in a flash my Moonshadow is holding me once again. The spider aspect has vanished and for the first time in a while the rage inside me subsides.
"Wait, How is this possible? Why would Nechronos lead me here? I mean he'd have to know what the result would be."
"Yes, he knew that your coming here would strip you of the gift of my divinity. He fears you and having this power made you unstoppable. He knows I am bound by divine decree to not directly interfere in the affairs of mortals."
"And that would put me at a disadvantage."
"Yes but he must think I'm some sort of moron if he even thinks for a second that I can do nothing. I have a question for you darling."
"What?"
"Would you die for me?"
"I uh- Of course I would!"
"Swear it. Swear that you would die for me, that your heart and soul belong to me, swear it and mean it!"
"I-I swear it."
"Take off your armor, and kneel before me. Trust me my love."
The familiar hiss of air echoes in the air as the hermetic seal is broken and I smell the damp mildew laced air. Moonshadow reaches out to touch me and again I hope to myself that this is not some sort of deception. She is my weakness, for her I would do anything even lay myself vulnerable. As her hand touches my head I feel strange, powerful, strong, I look at my arms and my skin has returned to it's pink color, but that doesn't last for long as a blackness born from the darkest abyss takes it's place. The room which had been bright before is now blinding I can barely see through it.
"I have made you my Scion, my champion. My love you are mine now and forever, you swore it and i will hold you to your vow for time eternal. You are mine to have, to love, to command. This power is a gift born of shadows. You will not be so powerless when my enemies meet you. Nechronos will die at your hands, now swear it!"
"I swear it, he will die at my hands! I will make him pay for all that he has done to us."
"Then come my love and let me show you all that you have become. As my scion you cannot serve any other master Analaeus Sathari will need a new High Justiciar."
I hadn't thought of that but perhaps he'll appoint Harley. I'll deal with that when this is over, for now, my mistress beckons and I obey happily. His plan was cute but I think he may have made me more dangerous for his efforts. When we finally meet there won't be anything that can save him. |

Character I last touched several years ago, and am bringing back out for potential use in an play-by-post forum game of Champions. The original was a Supergirl expy, but I'm thinking about revising her to a "pretty brick", without flight -- more in line with Luke Cage or The Thing, in terms of powers.
Vicky 4, Daz Studio, my own dial turning and deformer work for the character. Hair is Effa hair, top is the V4 courageous tunic with a 3rd-party freebie texture pack I picked up long ago. Gloves are from the Roxana Yaroslavna pack, jeans from the Flower Power set on Renderosity. Rendered in LuxRender with Reality. |

| A Supergirl expy for a Mutants & Masterminds campaign I'm about to start up in. Appropriately enough, based on one of my previous Supergirl renders, but with the costume recolored, and the render done in LuxRender. Composited with background and color adjusted in Gimp. |

| We all know we could be walking into a trap, I mean just because we’re getting a signal doesn’t mean he’s anywhere near it. In no time we're in, we step out of the vent just in time for a guard to spot us, but before I can even reach my gun Cheetah's on top of him sometimes I forget just how fast she is. The guard is only disabled even though she has lethal weapons available and I'm reminded of the fact that she's a hero and I'm not, because I would have shot him dead. I go into stealth mode and all weapons and gear get silenced. Thanks to the Absorbium 80 no sound emits from me or my gear. A handy side effect of the metal's properties to be sure. A push of a button and all the light gets absorbed too. There really isn't much this metal doesn't absorb. If it weren’t for the wiring running in and out of this suit I wouldn’t be able to hear or see a thing |

Obsidian 2019/1/15 3:07

| Sitting my husband’s office I only want to be close to him in some small way. I have tried to be closer to him but somehow I always feel as though his heart is in some distant place far away from me. My heart almost breaks as I sit behind his desk and gaze at the two pictures placed at his right. The dead woman who crushed him and whose life was stolen from him. A woman of considerable power and conviction or so I am told. A warrior like myself and a mighty hero whose speed was something of legend. I have met Panterra, he and my husband speak fondly of Sarah, the Cheetah. Her armor hung in our quarters for years until my dear husband gave it to her successor with tear filled eyes. The other picture… Aini who has been nothing but kind to my sisters and I since the day we arrived. She has done so much as both mentor and guide, helping us to truly understand our Dear Rusco, and while I was fully prepared to share my husband’s affections with my sisters I had no clue that Aini had already placed a claim on his heart. She would never say it though she truly wants him to be happy with us. Still I can sense his feelings toward her are strong. She is an exquisite in her form and her mannerisms. Everything she does is so flawless and her kindness is completely genuine. So why do hate these women who have never done me a single wrong so much? Because here in his office where his stresses are the greatest, theirs are the only images that bring him comfort. I want him to love me the way he loves them, to think of me like he does them. I can’t confront the dead, and Aini is so sweet how could I possibly be angry with her? Her powers let her be all of the things he desires in a woman. My jealousy has pushed me to a point where I have altered my appearance to more closely resemble her. Her features, here face, even her hair. But how do I compete with what she can be? My powers are greater than hers, as a dragon I can take any form I choose, I could read his innermost thoughts and desires and be that, but she doesn’t have to. She just becomes whatever his heart desires no matter what that is. I look upon her and I seethe with jealousy and anger, I want him to myself and I begin to envy even his relationship with my dear sister Lote’. I just want him to love me, I know that if I am courageous enough, confident enough… Even powerful enough, then surely he will begin to see me as does Sarah and Aini even Danielle. I refuse to compete with memories, he and I are immortal beings bound by destiny so why do I keep thinking of him the way mortals do? Why does my every thought center around possessing his heart like some grand treasure hoard? Am I changing? Becoming more dragon than woman? If so what happens to us? I can never surrender to these feelings but I know in my heart I must do whatever it takes to make him happy, to make him see me the way he sees them. |

| Red vs. Black: Blackface
Gnostic85 2012/11/7 22:22

"When the black costumed vigilante Thoth began waging a campaign to wipe out crime in his neighborhood of Hughes' Point, white real-estate developer Randall Bates moved to try and stop him, fearing that if Thoth's campaign were successful, his own efforts to buy up and gentrify the neighborhood would fail. As the makeup-slathered gangster named Blackface, he plunged Hughes' Point back into chaos and left Thoth (and his alter ego, Sam Ibis) crippled.
"Bates is dead now, but Blackface lives on in the person of his spoiled, vicious daughter Tara, who uses both her business skills and outright violence to rule Hughes' Point with an iron fist.
"But her reign may be coming to an end. Ibis' prot?g?e, the Red Owl, is coming to Hughes' Point to end the makeup-wearing menace once and for all..."
Another rogue for my original superheroine, and some new experimenting with style. I'm planning to render a fight scene between Blackface and Red Owl with a minimal palette of just black, white, and red (although whether or not this will actually work in D|S has yet to be seen...) |

Hey all. Been some time since I've posted here. Been caught up in other things - got a job prospect out in Texas that starts in August, so been trying to prepare for that.
At any rate, here is my latest work. Hopefully the next time I do a comic page, I'll remember that they're supposed to read vertically, not horizontally.
BTW, fajr is the pre-dawn prayer in Islam. The other non-English words are Albanian; you can probably figure out what they mean just through context. |
