This is Dread, whom I originally referred to in my bio for my character, Terrapina of the EMP. They are part of a race of turtle-people that are influenced by the legendary Japanese kappa. Visually however, they are influenced by my love of TMNT  |

| The situation between "Dr. Phase" and "Metallica" and their time-displaced future daughters, is of course inspired by the convoluted family dynamics of "Cyclops" and "Jean Grey" of the "X-Men." I just thought that I would try my hand at doing something similar with my own characters. |

| Disruptive Breach: Electric Cyborg of the Gremlin Organization

| I had a bit of a tough time coming up with the motivation for D.B. as to why he would be a part of Upper-Hand's Gremlin Organization, as I wanted each of them to kind of specialize in a different kind of terrorism, espionage or organized crime. Then I figured that since I envisioned that he was from Africa, that perhaps he could be a conservationist, and thus go into the extremes of eco-terrorism which in turn would play into a desire to go against industries such as P.R. Nova's high-tech company which could been seen as "ruining the environment" despite the irony that D.B. himself is a high-tech villain. |

O.K., here it is, my influence map. I took a different approach where instead of putting in artists, writers or other creators I chose a selection of some intellectual properties that have influenced me the most, so I guess you could include the all the various creative individuals that made these happen. Also, I put some of them together rather than having two images b/c those just are kind of equal to me. Anyhow this is it, complete with my habit of using gradients and glow effects as design elements.  |

| Crystal the Snow-Woman

Crystal is my version of Frosty's wife. The inspiration for her comes from a couple of sources. One is that I remember there being one of those Christmas specials that showed Frosty having a wife and kids, and I think that the wife's name was Crystal. The second is that growing up, one of our decorations for the house for Christmas was this set of paper characters that you could stick on windows and reuse every year. It included a Santa & Mrs. Claus, and a male & female snowman which I assumed was supposed to represent Frosty and his wife. The decorations however, never gave any names to the characters being represented. Like Frosty though, I've of course created my own unique representation of how I want the character of his wife to be. She is a young, sweet, sexy and spunky heroine who leads her people along with her husband, and is always ready to help him and the other Christmas heroes clean up the bad guys with her magical mop!  |

| The only thing that I can say about how I came up with this guy is how cats both big and small silently creep up on their prey before they pounce which is very much a part of his bio above. I just decided to take the meaning of creepy much further and made him an absolute weirdo who no one except his partner likes to have near them, but they keep him and his buddy around due to pity since although they are a criminal gang, they aren't totally heartless. |

| Cranky Croc and Angry Alligator are look alike cousins of the Creatures gang who act as the organizations tough-guy enforcers. For their names I just thought about how alligators and crocodiles just have surly temperaments and came up with some alliterative names along those lines. |

| Conjuro Moondark is a master mage and thief from the moon world of Night-Zox. He and his wife, Conjura, are the bitter rivals of Raku'n Black Mask and his twin sister, Ringa. His wife is just as much a master mage and thief as he is, and that is why she was chosen to be his bride, so they could lead their clan. She isn't related to him in any other way other than marriage though, as the family or clan name of "Moondark" is more of an honorary title in this case, and all of the members of the group share the name, but it's more of a kind of guild title. There may be some members who are blood relatives, but Conjura and Conjuro never were despite having such similar and unusual personal names as well. There is no backstory behind their names though, as I just thought they sounded cool, being derived from the word "conjuration" to reflect that they are magic users, and using the "o" and "a" respectively for the male and female characters. |

| Cold 'Coon

| Cold 'Coon started out as just a silly little raccoon character that was always bundled up in his winter gear all of the time and that was basically his only defining character trait. However, when I began to think about what I really wanted to do with all of these characters and really started to give them each their own individual defining back stories and the Animals grew into this bunch of animated heroes who all have unique skills, jobs, and talents that they combine for the betterment of their society, I knew that I had to have him be something more than just a silly chilly raccoon. So, I began brainstorming ways in which I could incorporate his defining character trait into a job that he could do and contribute to the team with. Since most of the members of the gang all have high profile jobs where they can perform and raise money for charities and whatnot, I decided that he could be a snowboarder. Yet, I also figured that it doesn't come easy for him like it does for the rest. He actually has to work at overcoming his fears to get on the board and do the tricks that make him a champion at it because his constant wearing of heavy clothing no matter what his location or the temperature might be has more to do with his personal anxieties than any real regulation of body temperature, as it's more of a security blanket than anything. But, he is so inquisitive and playful by nature as well, that despite his carefulness and reservations, he is still motivated to seek out such thrills in order to overcome it all. This all stems from the actual natures of real world raccoons who can be extremely curious about things and want to explore and get into things like your trash cans for food, but then also be easily skittish and scared away. |

| Brutica and Howla come from a comic that I made for Halloween several years ago that folks here may or may not remember. Well,now, I've resurrected them inm all new bios! Brutica, here, in particular, I have made into a spoiled rich girl that wants it all and would stop at nothing to get it, including selling her soul for power. She got it, but as it says above, as these things usually turn out, she got more than she bargained for and had to commit to a second bargain in order to try and control the first one. As as result she is now locked into an eternal struggle for her body and soul all because she was too sinful and still continues to be despite her current situation. That is why I ended her short bio with the question as to whether or not she really cares, and if she is just fooling herself with her struggle against her alter ego. |
