| HM (Back) Issues IV

Somehow these back issues keep turning up, vintage 1971-72 or so. I didn't know HM was even in business then, let alone had an imprint. Anyway, this is a combination of themes from Detective Comics #341, where Joker is disguised as Batman, & Harley Quinn #10, where Harley impersonates Batgirl.
Of all the Vee covers done thus far, to me this is the most convincing of that late Silver/early Bronze Age comic style.
So what other titles will turn up from the vaults--"House of VampireLover?" "Dungeons & DragonDack?" WonderWas?" "Jr Chronicles of McDeath?"

*Not to be confused with Estee Lauder. |

Alternate cover art for the character. I decided to go with a simple portrait this time rather than an action shot as with the previous. Miss V is holding advanced 21st century weaponry such as the AA12 auto shotgun (to blast casinos) and the HK Mark 23 SOCOM. The tricky part was getting them to scale. Special thanks again to Mr. MC and his encyclopedic knowledge of these weapons.
I still don't know which cover is preferable, but maybe it's about time I quit goofing around and get on with the story already! |

Stage name: April Fewells
Real name: Unknown
Also know as: April Fewell, April May, Shirley Eugeste, Harley Quinn*
Nationality: Unknown
Height: 5' 8"
Caucasion, sometimes brunette, sometimes blonde.
You are looking at recent promotional photos of burlesque stage performer and comic extraordinaire April Fewells. She is shown here with her ever popular stooge puppets (left) and performing her provocative "Examination" sketch (right). She is believed to have disappeared in the Vegas underground. She is wanted on suspicion of arson and the assassination of at least two organized crime bosses. Her known talents include singing, dancing, and ventriloquism, as well as some knowledge or expert knowledge of explosives and/or firearms.
If you have information regarding Ms. Fewell's whereabouts, please contact your local police or the FBI. Don't let her girlish pranksterism fool you, this woman is extremely dangerous!
_____________
*As those that have been following my Vee comic in the HM Comic Books know, I inadvertently created a new heroine from the plot, Miss V. In order to continue the story, the villainess's name "Harley Quinn" will have to be dumped and replaced, as it is copyright DC Comics. As April, she has already demonstrated that she is as dangerous as she is funny as she is beautiful. Despite keeping the "broad" in broad farce she is extremely dangerous and a deadly adversary of Miss V. |

Funny, I never got into this character much. As MissVee says, there isn't enough Spandex. However I find you can have a lot of fun with Shulky, which I suppose explains her popularity.

One thing I must say about MissVee's art is that she creates some of the most provocative & sexy poses for women. I would even say that they are under appreciated or at least underrated, but I always admire them. For instance, with "BG Seduced by Scarecrow" (http://heromorph.com/heromorph2/modules/myalbum3/photo.php?lid=3974) I saw the immediate value in the work for making some new comic art. I simply took Vee's pose of Batgirl here, and plundered it for my own misuse. However, the homage is paid by digging out the masthead that was implemented previously by yours truly of A Wonder Woman-Black Cat cover (see "Heromorph [Back] Issues", http://heromorph.com/heromorph2/modules/myalbum3/photo.php?lid=2909 ), also based on original art by MV.
The style is a throwback to the old Bronze Age comics. |

Colorized version of the sketch posted in the HFC. A scene from April's performance at the world famous Charlie Horse Saloon, in which she appeared for two nights only.
The kitschy set was done in the late Looney Tunes fashion, where the colors are off register from the objects. Mysteriously, it wasn't fire retardant, which later caused the Charlie Horse cabaret to burn to the ground.

1. Promo shot for a new television show tentatively titled either "At Home With April" or more simply "The April Fewells Show". The new show was to be based on Ms. Fewells stage sketch comedy-variety, and featuring her wacky house pets. Only one episode was taped without incident, then production shut down indefinitely. A side note: In one of the adjoining TV studios where the evening news was broadcast, a popular investigative crime reporter died of mysterious circumstances.
April is seen here again as a brunette.
2. In her segment "Mouse in the House", the ever-inventive April has a ruse to eradicate a pesky, refrigerator raiding rodent by donning a catsuit. Lots of bogus canned laffter, thrills and chills as cold things get poured down her open front.
My personal fave: The "RetroFreeze" refrigerator prop (my own design). |

Another HM cover for the Vee Stories title, this is a variation on a theme from a previous manip, "Batgirl v. Joker", http://heromorph.com/heromorph2/modules/myalbum/photo.php?lid=7992. The art is stylized once again in the manner of the Bronze Age comic style (hence the 25c and no UPC). This time it's Harley Quinn rather than Joker administering the mayhem on Batgirl, using one of MissVee's very favorite recipes.
Not sure why I left off Harley's tights. |

Part of a continuation that has yet to be finished, however the costuming technique seems to be getting easier to render and may be the most natural looking I've done to date.
This one got me kicked off a previous site for the "What a great rack" line. Can you believe it? |

You wouldn't believe the junk I had to make this image out of. Perhaps my most franked image to date. But, thanks to MissVee's fine art direction, I believe I've convincingly pulled it off (look up BG by MissVee in the Comic Art Gallery). I practically traced right over it.
It went pretty fast at first, but then after tying eveyrthing together and then texturing, it went v-e-r-y s-lo-w-l-y. Many parts had to be enlarged and painted over to restore resolution. I then used broad areas of color of different values to create a minimal sense of an interior.
I could probably work on this thing forever, but I'm not.  |

A little unfinished, an idea I had for a poster. Which I might do if ever I get time to include a background.
Update: 'kay I finally got this the way I wanted it. Changed Shulkie's bikini from gold to purple, and added weight room w/ bground figures. 1000% improvement!

More bad burlesque, this was actually much more difficult than it looks. Besides being just a head swap, it's also a bikini swap, boob swap, hair swap, other added parts and lots of retouching. The only thing left of the original model is the arms. I should post all my references just to show how far removed the final image is from its source. Very much like customizing a stock car but with a different type of body.
Building the staircase was the worst. But if that wasn't enough, I had to establish convincing consistent light throughout (hope it worked) and added the same crappy noise and distortions on all objects to give the impression that this is is an authentic screen cap.
I think I got all seams covered. |

Normally people dress up as spooks for Halloween. So what do normal spooks do for Halloween--dress up in something silly? Sexy? Or a combination thereof? The housepets are no less amused, as the raven laughs while the dragon gropes.
An interesting combination of traditional (or Matt Busch-style) illustration and 3D digital art |

After testing and tasting a few more pies, Lady HM (see HM Fundraiser II) officially opens the Heroines and Villainesses pie throwing game, a HeroMorph fundraiser. The beautiful and valiant Wonder Woman sure makes a nice first target, especially for this unexpected participant who brazenly slips past referee Jr. and crosses the throw line to taunt Di with a pie. Although a messy situation, there is no need to alert the media.
Who is she?

Brief Update: Jr's request is honored. So, can Firestar be next?

The Heromorph fundraiser games continue, hosted by Lady HM. So far, the Heroines and Villainesses Pie Throw event has been a surprise money maker, especially since none of the pastries involved sold at the HM bake sale. Next up is DC super villainess Poison Ivy. Ivy blows a kiss as if in defiance of the next thrower, whose turn it is to pie Pam's pulchritudinous puss as Wonder Woman and referee JrMcDeath look on.
Who is it?
