Creators: Roy Thomas, Rich Buckler, Jerry Ordway
First appearance
Justice League of America #193 (as Danette Reilly), All-Star Squadron #5 (as Firebrand)
Powers:
Pyrokinesis & Flight
Affiliations: All-Star Squadron
Notes:
A lot of layers. Used "levels" to make her auburn hair red and recolored the eyes green. I tried to give the impression that the pink shoulder/arm coverings are a sheer, translucent fabric. I did have her customary belt on the original, but I omitted it in the final manip. Actually I could never figure out what it was there for anyhow.
MODEL: SHARON PINK

The (8th Avenue) Tiger: Born in "Brooklyn Chinatown", Jason Chen was sent to private schools and was trained to be a Buddhist Monk. He was by no means born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

Powers: Super Strength (lift ~2000lbs), mixed martial arts primarily Karate.

| Wesely Dodd: The Sandman
Hisstoryman DC Comics 2008/11/23 20:28
2736 8
Publisher: DC Comics/Vertigo
1st Appearance: Adventure Comics #40 (July, 1939)
Created by: Gardner Fox & Bert Christman
One of the many Batman-esque heroes of Golden Age comics, Wesley Dodd was detective, crime fighter, prophet, and superhero.
Notes: went with a film noir look on this one in a homage to some of the Sandman Mystery Theater covers ( great comic by the way). Also I love the old film noir movies, my fav being The Big Sleep, DOA a close second. I could almost picture Bogie taking on the role of the Dodd character.
All parts of the uniform except the hat are hand drawn.
Have at it folks! |

| Original Character: Jailbreak
Hisstoryman Original Characters 2008/12/7 18:40

Jailbreak the living body count. The one man no prison can hold. A massive wall of a man, empowered by an unknown source during one of his many short prison stays, Frank Callo has left a trail of blood and destruction in his wake.
His latest escape was not hampered by the gold colored restraining harnesses fitted to his massive neck and waist. Twenty-five guards and one hundred seventeen of his fellow prisoners were added to his growing list of death.
Notes: Created as a villain when I was about 12 (25 years ago), Jailbreak has gone through a lot of changes. This manip used a model of truly unbelievable proportions, prompting Mrs. Hisstoryman to gasp,"He is gross". So his musculature was cut back so to speak, the original is in the Cookie Jar. The uniform creation was pretty straight forward, except for the metal harnesses. I am not entirely happy with the belt, but the neck came out pretty good. The background is a Frankenstein of a prison fire pic, a hole in the Great Wall of China, and some guys legs.

She is the Mistress of Mass Destruction, the Bringer of Flame, she is Heatseeker. A enemy of of Black Ice and by default Heatwave. Her path of destruction and mayhem is eclipsed only by her brother, Jailbreak.
Notes:Another original villain of mine. Oddly enough Heatseeker started off as male character called, Radioactive Man... I was 12 okay. Played with various textures and multiple levels to achieve the effects seen here. The background is a tanker explosion photo I Googled.

Vic Cooper was a drifter, small time thief, and sociopath. When a supposedly easy cat burglary went wrong, leaving a family dead, Vic found himself the target of the largest manhunt in New Mexico's history.
Cornered in an electrical substation, Vic made his stand and wound up electrocuted...or so the authorities thought. Vic woke up in the morgue imbued with amazing power. He became a living EMP blast.
He often partners with Jailbreak and Heatseeker.
Notes: Another teenage creation of mine. The hardest parts of this one were the yellow fringe and finding the right blend for the electricity in his hands.

The crossbow wielding daughter of Green Arrow and Black Canary, the young Miss Queen is a stalwart member of Batman's Urban Warriors.
Notes: The original file was corrupted leading to much wailing and gnashing of teeth. Fortunately, I found a PSD recovery program that saved most of my work. Unfortunately, it also merged all the layers so my post work options were limited. Anyways, I am very happy with how she turned out.
Model: XoXo Leah |

4493 7
1st Appearance Green Lantern V4#9.
Mark Richards was a former U.S. Marine who went missing after his helicopter crashed a few years ago. He was presumed dead until he showed up in Gotham as a hit man. All his victims had tattoos of their sins.
Notes: The "living tattoos came out ok I guess, not what I was shooting for exactly. I probably could have saved my eyes a lot of pain if I had just frankensteined a pair of jeans on him, but I wanted to try drawing them. The gold stitch was a pain. Hope you enjoy! Rate and comment as you see fit. |

| ORIGINAL CHARACTER: KILLER BEE
Hisstoryman Original Characters 2009/3/21 15:51
2496 8
BEATA ADAMCZYK grew up on the rough streets of Sunset Park, a formally Polish family. While others moved on and moved out the Adamczyk's stayed. Brought up in a strict Catholic household Beata's faith would also lead to the transformation of her life.
After a Sunday mass at Our Lady of Czestochowa her mother, father, and brother were gunned down in broad daylight by gang members. Beata all of sixteen ran and took to the streets,and began contemplating her revenge.
Where she gained her skill with firearms or brutal martial arts skill is unknown. Taking the name Killer Bee the girl, now a woman has carved a bloody swath through NYC's underworld.
Notes: Taken from an old sketch (a really bad one), the Killer Bee is done in my usual love it or hate it style. I tried a bit more with the shading here to give a more 3d look. Jackets are still a pain in the posterior! Anyway finish work was done in Tiffen FX 1.0 an app I am quickly learning I cannot live without.

The battle raged into Downtown Brooklyn, from the original site in Manhattan. Black Ice using her powers over cold is about to put the freeze on the villainous Heatseeker, or is she? As Ice send her foe crashing into an apartment building's wall, Heat gives our heroine a vicious kick to the abdomen.

The hair is borrowed from the original model, Monique Cooper. The background and bricks are frankensteined from various pictures.

I have been reminded that a small portion of the world's population sucks! I am not a 22 year Jamaican woman nor have I ever been to my knowledge.
So in an effort to protect myself and to keep my work mine, I feel have to do this. Sorry if it is distracting and/or annoying. |

Hisstoryman Original Characters 2009/4/6 18:02

Cindy Clarke was born in Cherokee, North Carolina of a Caucasian father and a mixed Cherokee/Chickasaw Native American mother. Cindy spent her early years learning to love animals and the natural beauty of her Appalachian home.
Faced with the growing environmental devastation of her homeland Cindy took to law and eventually became the most feared environmental attorney in the South East.
One evening, Cindy's car was forced from the road and sank into the Nantahala River. Near death Cindy was saved by a visitation from Selu, the mother goddess. Selu granted the young woman abnormal strength, endurance and speed. The goddess then spun from the elements of the earth clothes for her new charge.
Combined with her already exceptional mind, Cindy became AysTf Afy (Warrior Woman, pronounced:Ah-yaw-sss-tee gee- Ah gee yaw). She now fights her battle on two fronts: the courtroom and clandestinely as a superhero.
Note: Same model but I like the pose much better as well as the better resolution of the photo. Adjusted and in some cases redid parts of the uniform.
THE ORIGINAL CAN BE FOUND HERE
The model is the legendary Hyapatia Lee. |
