| The Evil Mirror Universe BLUE BEETLE

Not just Blue Beetle in his uniform from I Can't Believe It's Not the Justice League. No, no. This is the evil Mirror Universe Blue Beetle.
If you read the story, the "Super Buddies" wind up on an alternate Earth after leaving Hell (Don't ask!). This Earth had evil dopplegangers of some of the heroes (including a dominatrix Mary Marvel! Hotcha!). At one point Mirror Sue Dibny asked Mirror Max Lord why our Beetle was "wearing Teddy's costume". So, although we never got to see the Mirror Blue Beetle, we know he exists, he wears the black costume, and he doesn't look like our Ted Kord.
So how could I make him look different?
See the van dyke? That's a dead giveaway he's EVIL! (basic STAR TREK 101) |

"Why do you say these things to me when you know I will kill you for it?!"
My take on General Zod. I retained the black patent leather boots and trim from the movie version. Added the red verticle design and deep blacks from the John Byrne reboot version from the comicbooks.
Zod's face, of course, is inspired by Terrence Stamp's great performance in Superman II. However, as I look at it, a little touch of Anthony Ainley's Master from Doctor Who seems to have crept in.
Also, I changed Zod's Kryptonian symbol into one inspired by Superman's from Kingdom Come. The hair I had to change by making a new transparency map for Jason Hair.
"Son of Jor-El... KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!" |

Well, one thing for certain is that she meets one of the HEROMORPH PANTHEON... AND it's all HIS FAULT!  |

Carl Kolchak. Intrepid reporter. The X-Files and Supernatural owe so much to Kolchak for blazing the way that it's not even funny.
As far as I know, this is the first Kolchak 3d rendering on the net. So, not only is this the first, as of now, this is the BEST 3D RENDER OF KOLCHAK ON THE ENTIRE INTERNET!
WOO-HOO! I RULE!  |

Oops. Ever had one of those days? First you have to fight cybernetic ninjas, and then BATMAN shows up. And ya know he ain't real happy with you. His (sometime, once, who-knows) girlfriend seduced you... Oh, and then DUMPED YOU when you were of no more use to her! That's how your morning began, remember?
And people wonder why you're blue! |

Hmmm... Not sure if Mindwave put the mental image in everyone's mind or if she just told everyone, but, her nickname for Virtue seems to have stuck!
And again, poor Black Beetle gets the blame!  Someone loses their pants in battle? BEETLE'S FAULT! A dress suddenly appears on someone else? BEETLE'S FAULT! It's not like Beetle controls Mindwave or anything! YEEESH!
Anyone ever consider that Matrixblur has reality altering abilities? BLAME HIM FOR A CHANGE! |

My last pic of HIGHLAND LASS didn't seem to garner much attention (and absolutely no comments). Maybe it was because I started with an action shot of a new character. Maybe it was because, as a new character, you didn't really learn anything about her.
So, I enlisted the help of POWER GIRL to re-introduce her to the Heromorph audience. |

Okay. Let's clear this up: Blue Beetle is NOT A DIRECT INSPIRATION for Nite-Owl. So, just because Nite-Owl has... shall we say... intamacy issues, doesn't mean Beetle does, too!
GOT IT?

Oh, no. The Black Beetle is not the same happy-go-lucky person the Blue Beetle is. And he's here to let you know it!
He's starting by making a statement. This year's competitors are safe, but, no one said anything about last year's competitors. And the question is how much longer are this year's competitors safe?! |

Okay, I did a Wonder Woman pic. WANA MAKE SOMETHIN' OF IT!
Sometimes you need a little inspiration to give you a kick in the pants. So, I was watching the animated Wonder Woman dvd yesterday and decided to rework my Wonder Woman character.
Big ups go out to KBK for the Wonder Woman tiara and breast plate (also, for the Jennely textures).
P.S. Do any of you realize how hard it is to find a pictue of an ancient Greek city that's NOT in ruins? |
