From Russia, here's Octobriana.
Now, about this character I find more interesting the story about her real origin than the character itself. "According to the 1971 book Octobriana and the Russian Underground by Peter Sadecky, Octobriana was created in the 1960?s by a group of dissident Russian artists calling themselves Progressive Political Pornography (PPP). However it has been suggested that the story given by Sadecky was untrue and that Octobriana was, in fact, his own creation. Other sources sugest that Sadecky stole the character from two Czech artists, Bohuslav Konecny and Zdenek Burian, in creating a comic centering around the character of "Amazona." Since Octobriana is still widely thought to be the product of dissident cells within the U.S.S.R., she is not copyrighted, and has appeared in a variety of artistic incarnations around the world. ( source: Wikipedia)"
I did everything in Photoshop, found a nice site with lots of cool tutorials and wanted to try some in this one. The chains, the necklace and the hair were created following that. Let me know what you think.
**update** After Dragondack picture,add the bullets and the snake. |

Mister Mačak is a black-and-white Croatian comic drawn by Robert Solanović and written by Darko Macan and Tihomir Tikulin - Tico. Mister Mačak means Mister Cat in Croatian, but it's translated as Mister Meow. Two albums are published.
Mister Mačak: Parody of Batman. His real name is Miroslav. Everything he possesses has mister or mačak in its name (Telemačak, mačkofon, Mistermobil...). He has a small black aircraft (Mistermobil) and lots of friends who usually need his help.
I really don't like this background for this "hero", but I'm trying to use one image from each country. |

| Yakro, the lizard man . Coming from a civilization of great technological and social advance, in a distant nebula, whose damaged ship falls in the planet Earth, in pre-historical times and must deal with the earthlings who just start their presence in this planet. Yakro was a creation of Orestes Su?rez Lemus and began his life by 1990, in the comic magazine Pablo, and was one of the few Cuban comic charaters for adults that I could find. Heck, even find this one was a surprise to me? And if you?re wondering, the background is from a farm in Cuba. |

First I want to thank CDA for his suggestion (sorry, didn't feel like doing Northguard), who lead me to this character:
Fleur-de-Lys,a major supporting character in the Northguard series, also appeared on a Canadian postage stamp in 1995 as part of the Canadian Superhero Stamp Series. Created by Mark Shainblum and Gabriel Morrissette.
Ok, finaly I did the Canadian character,so...  |

| With all the costumes that Dawn has worn over the years, it was very difficult in trying to choose one in particular. The costume design I finally settled on is based on Linsner?s ?Cry For Dawn? series. The concept for this image is similar in nature to Vampirella - Night Shift. |

First, let me say the only reason why I choose this character was because she is a very obscure one. And because for U.S., well? we have lots to choose from and I?m trying to show in this series some more unknown characters.
I also tried some new things in this one, like a new technique for fire, some ?frankensteining? and tried to make her uniform to look a bit like metal.
About the character, her powers are from magic origin and she?s able to control and create flames. Her control is such that she can create weapons out of flame (I tried to show that with her axe).
She was publish by Quality Comics, in the Smash Comics comic book. Created by Bob Turner and Jim Mooney in 1941.
Oh yeah, her name is Wildfire.

I wanted to do a Christmas pic, so I searched for inspiration and found this cover from Frank Cho, but then couldn't find a model I like for it.
Earlier tonigth I found the image with this girl and everything just came to my mind and I just had to do it.
Hope you guys and girls like.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!   |

I have dusted off my (by now) infamous 'pixel doll' once again, this time dressed up as Vampirella, in time for Halloween.
Brief Update: Jr's request is honored. So, can Firestar be next?
Brief Update 2: Okay, then. I was actually not going to continue with this series, but since you insist, VL...
(And yes, as it happens I would care for kiss!)
Hope it's satisfactory. |

| I don't see too many manips of Shi so I figured I'd give it a go. After doing the material of her costume I can see why many people don't do it! There are some things I wish I'd done better but I spent enough time on this so I'll call it done and move on. The model is Jessica Jaymes. |

Gender bender of what Dr. Manhattan might have looked like if he had been a woman instead. This would be during the "still wears a costume" period.
A Watchmen movie is due out about 1 year from today. Here's hoping they don't screw up one of the greatest comic novels of all time.
The model is Iga.

Zakarella is kind of the Vampirella in my Country.
Had a few comics published in the 70's and was a huge hit... Even today, there's a lot of fans...
Thanx to everyboby who gave some advice on this manip.
UPDATE: Following Bio's advices, I retouched this image a little on the boobs plates and also retouched the cape a bit and added a little texture filter.
Hope it's better.  |

"You're born, you live, and you die. That's the way it should be, right?
But what do you do if you can't die?
What if you find out that you're not quite as human as you thought that you were?
For Scar, it's not a philosophical question - it's her life.
But once she discovers the Gyrath's Gates, she finds a way to finally discover who she is, and what Fate intends for her to do..."
That's the preview of the number 0 of the Gyrath's Gate Scar, introducing the character Scar from New Zealand created by V.L. Dreyer and published by Blue Scar Productions.
Can't say I know much about this character, just found it on a random search on the web, but I like what I read about it so far... |
