| A teamup that seems made to order. The similarities of these two are too good to pass up while the contrasts make it a perfect match. Both wield dual pistols, both somewhat supernatural, both garbed in flowing cloak type thingies and both prey on the evil of society. Man/woman, white clothing/black clothing. Seemed like a cool image in my head. And for those who don't know them. The lady is Dark Horse comics' Ghost and the gent is the pulp vigilante of the 30's/40's the Shadow. |

| Ok, some backstory here. Bear with me. Sitting home today, watching some football, waiting for my girlfriend to get off work, reading Teen Titans #40. I'm struck by the last page of it which is the left side of the submitted piece here. Very cool scene of the rebirth of Jericho by Tony Daniel inspired me so I start doodling in my book. I'm actually pretty pleased with the result so I thought I would submit it alongside the inspiration for it. I'm not real pleased with the lower abdominals but overall I think it looks pretty good. Please don't tell me that it isn't as good as the comic I already know that. I wasn't trying to compete with it I was just inspired by it. |

| I think I thought of a cool arch nemesis for The Christian. He is...The Christian. Yep, same name. Or not, I might call him The Disciple or something so that it doesn't become too confusing. Here's the story. So much of the world has a bad idea of Christians because of the many who claim to be followers of Christ but don't live up to it. Specifically, the ones who don't see others as God's children but see them as 'sinners' who should be punished. Where my original Christian character will not allow himself to harm humans or allow them to be harmed, this new guy sees himself as sort of God's avenging right hand or something. If he encounters a person who he believes has sinned he feels it his responsibility to punish them. In the beginning he's actually inspired by The Christian's crusade but, after the two meet, he sees the Christian as flawed since he won't harm people. He isn't actively out to destroy the Christian, at least at first, but the two are often at odds due to the originals vow to protect all humans and the new guys determination to punish sinners. I think it would lead to some intense battles since the original C can't even allow himself to harm this guy while the new C isn't bound by this. Although he can't physically hurt the Christian with him being invulnerable but he knows the Christian can't harm him either and uses this knowledge whenever he can. Plus, the new guy is aware of the supernatural attributes of the C's hammer and while he won't admit it, he fears it. He would never admit it but some part of his subconscious is afraid of what might happen if it were to ever touch him. He does believe he's right but is also afraid to test that conviction. I don't know if that makes any sense but I understand it. The Christians difficulties with this guy would be multi faceted. On the one hand, he has to somehow stop the guy without hurting him. And on the other he has to try and combat the bad image of christians in general this guy shows to the world. An image many people already hold and are quick to accept. |

Apparently there were several episodes of the Tick animated series that were never made. One of which, entitled "The Tick vs Skull Canada" sounded really funny. Here is a synopsis:
?The Tick vs. Skull Canada introduces a new villain, The Bald Skull, who is the leader of a small nation called Skull Canada which is on the border of Canada and Michigan. At the beginning of the episode, the Bald Skull (who has no skin on his face, so he looks like a skull but he wears a toupee) steals the President's face. Tick and Arthur join up with American Maid to try to go to Skull Canada to get it back.
Once there, they of course get separated. Tick gets involved with a group of revolutionaries who are led by The Moose (actually 2 men in a moose costume; 1 in front and 1 in back) but the back end of The Moose ws captured by the Bald Skull and is imprisoned in the Skull Canadian palace prison. Tick becomes the rear end of the Moose and rallies the revolutionaries to fight (insert rear end of moose jokes here)
Arthur, meanwhile, gets captured and put in prison with the real moose's rear end. American Maid manages to infiltrate the palace, but once there she has to face...Skull Canadian Maid, her evil twin sister.
I even have a line from this one; "Hey, Bald Skull--you can't cover up all that bald ugly with a toupe?...you need a whole FACE-PE?!" (The Tick, of course)?
Anyway, a fellow artist on Deviantart suggested I do this pic. So here it is. American Maid vs her evil twin sister Skull Canadian Maid. |

| Defenders of Dynatron City? It was an EXTREMELY shortlived comic book and cartoon. Actually, now that I think about it, I believe it was based on a video game but I'm not sure. I liked the characters in it alot and I had been meaning to do a pic of them for a long time. I'll admit right away that I used the cover of the first comic as an inspiration for the scene. Some things about it I'm quite happy with like the robot pile they are standing on and the doggy. And some parts of it make me shudder. Like the lady in the back with the electricity 'ears' and the monkey guy and....well there are just too many to list. But it isn't like there is any chance of me ever being pleased with my own work anyway. :) |

| I like those Elseworlds books that DC does. Its fun to see how they change around the heroes we know and love. This was a Batman from one called 'The Secret Society of Superheroes'. In that story, the heroes who make up the Justice League in normal continuity form a team but choose to work in secret. Never letting anyone even know they exist. Bruce Wayne isn't even Batman until the end but when he does take up the mantle I really like the suit they designed for him. This pic is that suit. sadly, it looked tons better in the comic. |

I've been seeing lots of crickets around lately. They are one of the few insects that don't give me the creeps and I thought, "Why are there no cricket superheroes?" Probably because the cricket can't do anything much on the cool side. Doesn't climb walls, shoot webs etc. But MAN can those little things JUMP! This guy, The Cricketeer, can jump like a mile when he really has to. He has slightly tougher skin than most humans. About as tough as plywood maybe. Seemed like the right toughness to be in proportion to a carapace. He can also tell what the weather is going to do before it happens...hm, there's his alter ego right there. TV weatherman! I don't know if thats a real ability of the insect but there are rumors about it. And he can produce a loud chirping noise that can stun bad guys. Or annoy coworkers. Whichever is needed. Although, if he did it around his coworkers it would defeat the whole secret identity thing so scratch that. Oh yeah, he can communicate with real crickets.
Not an epic hero but a fun one. |

| I really like Halloween. So much that I felt compelled to do a Halloween picture even though I hadn't had a good idea for one. So, I ended up forcing this one out and as usual, something that had great possibilities ends up much less than it could have and should have been. But here it is anyway. Happy Halloween everyone. |

| The colored version. Many flaws but a couple that bother me more than the rest. Triton, the green fish guy, is screwed up somehow. Like I placed him too low or something. Looking at where his knee is, his feet will end up below ground level based on the other characters. Dammit. Plus, I couldn't figure out how to do Black Bolts power without obscuring too much of the picture so he just looks like he's doing a flex yawn or something. Ah well. I gave it a shot. |

Christian loves Halloween. See the glee on his face? He loves it because it brings out all the zombies and vampires and things that go bump in the night. And thats when he really gets to cut loose. Or as I like to call it, he gets to open up a big old can of WUB*.
