| March Challenge: "'Tis Skurge's Last Laugh!"

"They made a fool of me, Balder. They laughed at me. Everybody laughs at Skurge. Hela, Mordonna, even the Enchatress I love, they all laugh at me."
"Except you. Balder is too kind to laugh at Skurge. But whenever they laugh, I hurt inside, maybe I die a little. Now I think I am dead already. Any my axe was destroyed with Naglfar."
"So I will stay behind and the last laugh will be mine. You and Thor have a drink when you are next in Asgard and laugh Skurge's last laugh together."
"I will hold the bridge."

| May Challenge- Workforce: Morituri
Kuyler Dead Artists 2008/1/1 1:02

Unemployment hits everyone hard, and temp agencies provide a ready source of cheap labor without worrying about the costs of benefits, increased tax status, and so on.
But think about the number of heroes who have died in comics recently. Where do the new fodder...erm, heroes...come from?
Strikeforce: Morituri ("We Who Are About To Die") had a short run, but gained something of a cult following, based around an earth where aliens invaded and conquered, and the only way to fight back was a process that gave a person superpowers...but killed them within a year.
A lot of the pics used in this were "too small" or "wouldn't work" for other projects, so it was great actually being able to use them. A lot of work went into this.
The "small print" under the toll free number is blurred purposefully, but reads:
Workforce:Morituri involves genetic manipulation
and may not be suitable for all prospective talent.
One year contracts available. Workforce: Morituri
is not liable for ???????Morituri Effect???????, and all prospective
clientele must sign a waiver before beginning
employment. Live a hero????????s life for a year!
Enjoy! |

| April Herald Challenge entry: Skollhati

This was far more difficult than I expected it to be. My initial thought was to adapt Cloak for the role, with the starred background being within the folds of his cape.
After a few false starts, I found not only the skull created from smaller skulls, but also what seemed to be a perfect picture for a departing Galactus.
"Skollhati" was also not the first choice of a name that lept to mind, as my initial thought for the woman was for her face to bear the eclipso style sun and moon graphic. The name "Solmani" lept to mind..the Norse gods of the sun and moon.
"Skollhati" seems to fit better, as it is a combination of the names of the wolves who chased them through the sky, who would devour them on the day of Ragnarok.
So...here's my entry :). |

A request/challenge made by a friend, I owe great thanks to BioHaz for his advice-
No idea who the actor is, the pic was supplied to me by a friend with the request, and the picture in the frame (and copied with color problems by "Mr. Roy G. Bivolo") is entitled "Frigg Spinning the Clouds" by an unknown artist.
I'm not sure I would place it among my best works, but eh. It's good to be "done" with it. |

My most ambitious piece to date...especially for someone who hasn't done whole heaps with Photoshop over the past few years.
I set out to work on Capt. Boomerang simply because, well, the Flash's Rogue's Gallery submissions are few and far between, and Boomerbutt has always been a good, if often strange character.
A few key things I discovered-
1.) Clancy Brown, Earth 2, very fitting I think for a Digger Harkness type.
2.) Flash's rogues do not have the easiest costumes to make. I can only imagine what I'll go through trying to make the Trickster.
3.) This is nowhere near the caliber I expect to produce once I HAVE gotten more used to modding-there's a very good chance this will be the first piece I re-do after all is said and done.
4.) The hat was nearly impossible to find a picture of ANYWHERE. You would think it wouldbe easy, but noooooo...
5.) In spite of struggles, delays, etc...I truly had fun with this one and am looking forward to whatever project grips my fancy next.
I hope you folks like the work put in, and here's hoping the end product isn't TOO much of an eyesore for everyone. :) |

"Let's just say that I was wrong..."
I wanted to enter this girl in her costume in the Lady Heromorph contest, but moving and other struggles in the real world kept me away from here for a long time.
Glad to finally get this up for everyone. I've been told it's not my best work, but hell...I like it. |

Something I tinkered with for an original character, Esperanza Chartreuse. This is by no means the final version of her, but it's been so long since I posted, it felt like I needed to add SOMETHING...and this is the first piece I've tinkered with using a more recent version of Photoshop, so...
So yeah. Enjoy.
Hope you like :) |

Gee, let's see. It's been a while, and a conversation last night with Mike led to the promise I would get something up this afternoon. a Quickie, as it were.
Frightening thing about this is I actually DID amanip with Batman in it. Those that know me...know that's not likely to happen again anytime soon.
There's an entry I would like to make, but it's far more complex, and while I know this is bollocks compared to the other entries up there, had to toss my hat in the ring once more time, make sure something was out there when the time came.
That, and, well...I think it's at least moderately amusing

| Contest entry: Phantoms and Menaces and Ascots, oh my!

Finished this one in about three hours-posted it at Bold to make sure it was up and ready for the contest and people knew I made the deadline, but HM was still down at the time.
Given that the dog met Batman and Robin in the old cartoon series (as well as Dynomutt and Blue Falcon, the Harlem Globetrotters, etc.) it just felt like the movies, campy as they were, would need...something a bit more.
And admit it, he looks good for the part. |

| First effort at doing something for this site, the Michael Des Barres pic seemed to just scream out to be modded. Given that Dr. Light has been getting a lot more time in print lately, it seemed to be a choice that made sense. |
