While on her way back to her hotel room, Ruse runs into a surprise...
"Ahh... Ruse, I presume?"
"Who are you, and why are you dressed like me?!"
"I'm the woman who's going to have you extradited back to China for the murder of Supergirl! Now out of my way - I have to leave before they discover you were framed! Ahahahahaha!"
"... Why does this shit always happen to me?" |

| Red Howlet & Allies
Gnostic85 Original Characters 2009/4/11 1:33
2406 1
It's never wise to become a neighborhood superhero without allies who've got your back. For Red Howlet, these are Enver and Qitta. Enver's a Turkish-descended powerhouse, super-strong, super-durable, and able to create shockwaves that can level buildings. His powers are mystical in origin (he creates shockwaves by speaking a magic word), and he's been told that one day he will be forced to use them in a way that will harm or kill many people in order to destroy a great evil. For the most part, though, he's a nice guy who enjoys playing a white knight for pretty girls, though occasionally, he overdoes it, as in this pic.
Qitta, by contrast, is not so much of a powerhouse. Born in Somalia, her family came to America during the war and relied heavily on the charity of 'Allam al-Wafiyah. When the man called Beit took over the Boston offices, he decided that her family owed a debt, and took her as payment, using her in an experiment to see if his powers were great enough to bestow superhuman abilities upon others. He turned her into a feral creature and unleashed her in Little Yugo, hoping she'd be enough of a threat to make the Red Howlet turn to him for help. The transformation crapped out, however, and Qitta reverted back to human form. Of course, Beit has not called off the debt, so Qitta still has to go out in costume whenever Beit orders her to make trouble. She usually ends up helping Red Howlet fight crime. (Thankfully, Beit never bothers to send anyone to make sure Qitta is actually making trouble.)
Of course, every alliance has risks. Both Enver and Qitta have ties to Beit, and Enver in particular believes that, whatever Beit's personal intentions, the coalition that Beit has formed can help him in his efforts to clean up his neighborhood, and would help Red Howlet if she were to join (not to mention the fact that part of him fears that Beit may be the great evil that he is destined to fight.) As such, Red Howlet is constantly aware that one day she might have to fight her friends. |

"So you spent all of last night having sex with Blue Veil, huh?"
"... How did you know...?"
"She smokes like a chimney and you smell like an ashtray. Plus, I detect a faint whiff of cynochlor, or whatever it's called..."
"You've met her then?"
"Teamed up with her and the Isralien-1 a few years ago in order to stop a super-powered psychopath who intended to bring peace to Israel by indiscriminately killing everyone."
"Israelien-2...?"
"The IDF's answer to Supergirl. Can't say much more - they want to keep her as a secret weapon in case Black Adam ever goes nuts again..." |

| This is a portrait of Cmdr. Emmanuelle Sharon, the character I created for my main Mass Effect playthrough (in the game, of course, she's Emmanuelle Shepard.) I think this is probably one of the best renders I've ever done in terms of technique; I'm especially pleased with how the lighting and textures came out. |

As she rests in a hotel in Tokyo, Nightmother gets an unexpected visitor...
"You! What do you want?"
"At the end of this contest, I am headed back to a very tiny cell in Drapchi prison. I'd rather not go there. Please help me..."
"... No."
"I mean... I want to serve you with all my heart and body..."
"Better, but I already have a wench. Why should I take you in?"
"Because I'm really, really cute and fuckable?"
"Meh..."
"Well, with me, you could have an extra tongue and mouth wherever you need it, allowing Zatanna to focus on sucking your toes..."
"Hmm..." |

"Come along, little knight! Adventure awaits!"
"For the last time, I'm not a kid! I'm over 10,000 years old! Last survivor of the true Camelot!"
"Aww, you're a role-player, how adorable!"
"Adorable?! Lady, I defended this vile age from the Faerie Queen, a mad god, and thousands of costumed monsters while you couldn't be bothered to show up. You could at least take me seriously."
"Now now, there's no need to be mean, dear. I was still dead back then, and I'd prefer that you not remind me."
"Aagh..." |

Hey all. Been some time since I've posted here. Been caught up in other things - got a job prospect out in Texas that starts in August, so been trying to prepare for that.
At any rate, here is my latest work. Hopefully the next time I do a comic page, I'll remember that they're supposed to read vertically, not horizontally.
BTW, fajr is the pre-dawn prayer in Islam. The other non-English words are Albanian; you can probably figure out what they mean just through context. |

During the overnight, Ruse tries to make some friends...
"Listen, Batgirl. We're both non-metas in this contest, facing off against two self-proclaimed gods, two nearly-invincible girls and an egomaniacal B-leaguer, among other perils. I think our odds would be much better if we teamed up, don't you?"
"You missed the early flight 'cos you were too busy having sex with that Saudi woman. What exactly makes you a good ally? I could just as easily team up with the Beetle, and probably have a better chance."
"Well, so far as I can tell, the Beetle's major advantage is that he recruits young women with superpowers. I can start to remove that advantage. What do you say...?" |

| Little is known about the background of the woman called Ruse. Hell, the name Ruse is just one of several that she's held. What is known is that she's very seductive, and just seems to enjoy seducing people. Often, she seduces them for money, but she's just as likely to seduce them just for the hell of it. God only knows what'll happen when she gets into the Smackdown... |

"Can't see anything from here. I'm heading out."
"Careful. He's not a suicide bomber trying to take out the local pizzeria..."
"I know. He doesn't care about religion, nationality, or anything else. He'll even kill kids if they get in his way. I've spent a couple of months studying every move he made during WWIII. Trust me, Lady H. I'm ready for him."
"Just remember, we want him controlled, not killed..." |

| An older creation of mine - the Dover Golem, the WWII-era protector of one of England's most important military bases. I got the idea after visiting the Dover base and noticing that there are still a number of levels that are off-limits to the public 60 years after the war ended, and wondering, what could they be hiding down there...? |

I had this idea to do a story with Quasar, but I don't know enough about her yet. So instead I have invented a distant cousin named Juna. A bored young woman from one of the Kree colonies, Juna heard about Quasar's exploits and thought, "I could do that, too!" Of course, she's nowhere near as experienced, so she often ends up getting defeated and humiliated, but she's the type who just picks herself up, stitches her costume back together, and rushes into the next adventure...

"Why are you rocking back and forth? Wait... is that the Supergirl tape? Oh my god... are you...?"
"Nrr... the next checkpoint's in Egypt! Now go away, dammit!"

| Continuing to develop my pitch for Marvel, I'm trying to find some characters for my proposed team that nobody else is using. With that in mind, here's Blonde Phantom II (or Phantom Blonde). The daughter of a semi-forgotten WWII superheroine, Wanda Mason can technically claim to have been a superhero for over 40 years, because she first adopted her superhero identity after traveling back in time with She-Hulk... |

"Hiya, Ruse! Welcome to Smackdown!"
"Erm... Hi."
"So we're gonna ask you a couple questions. First question: Who the hell are you?"
"I'm Ruse. I don't really have any superpowers. I just kinda get tied up and dominated by people. Sexually dominated, I mean."
"... Seriously?"
"Yes. I mean, not every girl in a costume has impressive abilities. You figure there's gotta be a couple of super-submissives in the mix, right?"
"What the hell kinda schtick is that?
"Well, I also steal stuff and assassinate people... sometimes..."
"So does my housekeeper, but you don't see me interviewing her. I'm sorry, but you just plain suck."
"But I'm hot! And Asian! And I like sex with girls!"
"... Well, why didn't you say so in the first place?" |

"Ughh... my head... where am I?"
"A small town in England, dear. It's about time you woke up. It's been incredibly boring babysitting you."
"What happened?"
"You were about to kill me, I was about to defend myself using my only superpower... and then one of those damn Morphettes dropped a bomb on us. Thankfully, your invulnerability saved me from being injured, but you were knocked out, so I felt obligated to make sure you were okay..."
"Wait... I remember you saying something, and then turning into one of the Marvels..."
"Me? A Marvel? That's absurd. Must have been a dream."
"But your costume..."
"Oh this? I had to change it. Between you attacking me and that bomb, my old one was quite ruined."
"But... your hair..."
"Merely a wig, of course."
"Nnn... You said you had one power..."
"Indeed. I don't like using it, because it's a strain, but I'm able to alter people's perceptions, make them distrustful of reality and memory... but of course, that bomb hit us before I could use it to my advantage..."
"Ngh..."
"Heh... a previously-undiscovered female Marvel from Tibet... what an absurd notion..." |
