| Razorclaw and his Dragon Blackwind are operatives from the Golden Star Empire, formerly the domain of the Black Mantis, and they are a formidable team indeed. Most often Blacvkwind assumes the guise of a Dark elf maiden of notable beauty. It is assumed that the two are lovers though they neither confirm nor deny it... |

| Obsidian likes Commander Shepard and thinks she'd make an excellent addition to his crew. His attempts to recruit her are met with more than a little resistance as the Commander has more pressing problems such as saving the galaxy from the Reapers. Obsidian believes if he can possibly lend a hand then perhaps the commander will be persuaded to change or her mind. One thing is for certain Sovereign never saw this coming... Mankind may have developed along the path the Reapers chose...but not so Elven kind. Obsidian wonders..."Will the anti-matter torpedoes come as a complete surprise to the Reapers...or is there a kinetic barrier fast enough to stop and FTL torpedo? Either way, it'll be a fun fight... For the god of chaos. |

| I did this picture a few months back but some things about it bugged me... The Camera angle, Lighting and the wolves. The wolves I used were low poly poser pro BS. But today while going through my inventory I discovered I had the AM Wolf...with fur. I wanted a fur effect and tried to do one on my own to no avail... Then I saw these and I was like WOW! I knew what I had to do so I reshot the image and I hope you like the new version as much as I do. BTW Keep an eye for new posts of Old characters... Lots of updates coming. |

| This is the mage that summoned Obsidian across time and space. It was an accident to be sure and one Obsidian will never forget. This image is one of many that will be featured in my upcoming Cinematic "The rise of Dominion" based on the novel of the same name. There are clips of this story and even a comic book here which outlines the beginning but the Cinematic will be appearing in installments on (Hopefully) a weekly basis as soon as I have some more sets and few starter episodes in the can. In the meantime please know that I will be bringing quality images to the series. In the meantime enjoy the sneak previews. |

| I'm not sure if anyone knows or even cares for that matter, how much effort is put into my scenery. In the case of the new ship The Phantasm, I have really outdone myself. On board the ship is several new features none of my previous bridges possess. For instance, both the CIC and Navigation posts have their own view screens. There is now an office for the Executive Officer (!st Officer). The EMT Room has a new custom made pad designed around magic instead of technology although it's range is technologically enhanced. There is a holographic model of the ship and its systems above the new Tactical table. The Table situated between the Navigation and CIC is used to survey terrain, and ship systems, or any object needed. I put a ton of work into my sets and because I use a lot of reflections it's necessary to create full 360-degree sets. Later each room will be separated and saved as its own set and used in pairs as I can only show 2 possible sets at once in any given scene. New Captain's quarters will be coming next and because of the Family size they will be much larger than previous editions so keep an eye out for that. As always feedback is appreciated and encouraged. Also if there's any part of the ship you think I should create let me know and I'll try to hook that up. Engineering is a must and will also be coming soon. |

The Nedeir are a tribal race of Encephalopods, like their lesser evolves cousins they can alter their texture and color at will easily camouflaging into their surroundings. Unlike most cephalopods, they have a cartilage-based skeleton which has evolved into a humanoid looking upper torso. They are still aquatic and cannot survive out of water for very long. They are not fons of outsiders and while they are excellent hunters they prefer to avoid conflict.
This was an exercise in underwater images...over the years I have some hit and miss success with them but I think I finally have it down. |

Obsidian is no stranger to the powers that be, they have known of his exploits for some time. However, in this particular instance, he is not some mere elf but a god, and a very powerful one at that. Apophis was so powerful that he required no worshipers, and is rumored to have existed since before the creation of the universe. Ra himself needed bodyguards to protect himself from Apophis. In Egyptian mythology, it would often take multiple gods and the faith of vast numbers of followers (no matter what god the worshipped) to vanquish Apophis, and even then he could only be slain for a day. By the next morning, he would rise again to assault Ra. How then could Obsidian have destroyed the Serpent god and usurped his power? Immortals are a new player in the game of gods, they are not mortal nor are they gods but something in between. As such, they are candidates for divinity and can be raised in status to gods. Unknown to Apophis is the fact that only the Egyptian gods r mortal ever slew him. No immortal armed with a relic had ever made the attempt...until now. Apophis' divine form was that of a great serpent, and standing before several posturing gods Obsidian felt obligated to remind them just how powerful he could be if he so desired. Having traveled across the vast cosmos and through the myriad of realities he simply cannot tolerate that old idiom "Beyond the understanding of mortals." that gods like to throw out when they don't feel like explaining themselves or just don't want to answer a question. Grandstanding is an attention getter to be sure. The Olympians have much to fear in the presence of "Apophis" in full splendor. Today at least they'll answer his questions and hope that he leaves in peace.
Note: Even in his mortal form Zeus' lightning is not powerful enough to harm him...but after ten or so...that's another story.
The question, to the relief of the Olympians, is: How do I stop being Apophis? The answer is simpler than you think. |

| Irghizite Dragon
Obsidian Original Characters 2018/7/22 11:45
82 0
| In my Universe there are three distinct types of Dragons...Serpents such as the Coatl with serpentine bodies, Drakes which have fore legs, and Wyverns which do not. This dragon is the latter...only Irghiz is a Unique dragon...with unusual powers. Irghiz can alter his shape and size to any type or normal reptile including a miniature version of himself thus appearing harmless, His eyes can see through any type of darkness natural or magical, He can understand/speak any spoken language,Like all true dragons Irghiz can breath fire...if you call super-heated plasma fire. Irghiz is also immune to all forms of damage save for Magical weapons with at least thrice enchanted. Weapons specifically designed to harm dragons DO NOT work on Irghiz as he is technically a Dragon. Irghiz requires neither air, food or water to survive but hunts regardless. Irghiz cannot be permanently slain by mortals regardless of the weapon/method used, and though it can be killed temporarily he will return to his master's side the following morning...even if slain mere moments before dawn. His claws are considered 5th power enchanted for purposes of what he can harm Irghiz is incredibly fast and possesses all known magical means of travel and can travel to his mater's location without any chance of error. Irghiz provides can pass his invulnerability to his rider so long as they remain in physical contact riders do not receive Irghiz's resurrection ability. Irghiz believes that to ride upon his back is the highest of honors and he will NOT accept anyone who does not recognize this and respond accordingly thus pandering to his ego. Ighiz can repel (instantly and often tot heir death) anyone he does not wish to have upon his person...save for his master who has absolute control. There is no method of causing Irghiz to turn upon his master as he is simply incapable of doing so. The only way to reason with irghiz is to convince him that whatever one is trying to do will benefit his master...details of how he is helping his master are a must. In air to air combat Irghiz can move at speeds comperable to the fastest sub-light craft in space Irghiz is fully capable of warp speeds using magical means. How does he do all of this? Irghiz is the one an only Scion of the god Apophis...Gods like to travel in style. |

| So it wasn't until the final render that i realized that this mount looks remarkably like Toothless the Night Fury from "How to train your dragon." I don't wan't the flack from that so it's back to the old drawing board...still it's a pretty cool dragon and it'll make a nice addition to my universe in a another capacity. |

..."The red? Brown maybe Orange at best." "No, that is NOT why he is called the Red." "Oh....I see. Blood then?" "Rivers of it...he's your kinda guy." "Not Funny."
An exchange between Obsidian and Shadow Regarding Rendazza the "Red".
Commander Rendazza personally requested his position as Obsidian's personal guard. He wanted to see what all of the fuss was about and gauge the hero for himself. He is a serious man, not prone to jokes or laughter for that matter Shadow is NOT a fan of his work as Rendazza is known for being merciless in combat. Most of the Commander's file is "Classified" and sealed. It is important to note that Rendazza also has a reputation for being Honorable...He does not attack those unworthy of his skill (the innocent or weak) and does not slaughter those who cannot defend themselves. he earned his nickname under the rule Emperor Zakahn during a battle with a hive of Xitizk laying waste to hundreds until they lost the will to fight and fled in disgrace. Covered from head to toe in the blood of his foes his men began calling him by the Suffix "The Red". Truly Rendazza is not a man to be taken lightly...It is important to note that Shadow served under him, and was there the day he earned his moniker. |

| Okay so up till now Shadow has been a Lorez dog attached to a Daz genesis model, so of course since the Lorez Dog can't do much Shadow hasn't done much either. No closeups at all because my fans would see the massive flaws in the Lorez model. However, I recently purchased a script from Daz that allows me to separate parts of a morph into sections dissecting my massive inventory of morphs into something I can better work with. The end result is that Shadawar can now be one whole model and get some much needed face time on the screen. Look for character development from him ...and for those of you paying attention...Shadawar was assigned as personal guard from the Sathari empire and now that he's no longer in service to the Empire he'll need to be replaced...coming soon Rendazza...the Red. In the meantime enjoy our favorite Lunari Psi-Mage up close and personal...sorry no questions at this time. |

| Bridge Series I.S.S. Phantasm
Obsidian Original Characters 2018/7/4 19:02
96 4
I did a tone of custom work from screen displays to architecture I even had to create some meshes. Let me know what you think and before you ask...Star trek is always one of my main influences but beyond that ring behind the Captain's chair I used nothing from Star Trek in creating this bridge. I did use some Trek Wannabe stuff though LOL
The Phantasm is a unique prototype ship designed and built by reverse engineering the original SS Lillun A. As such Obsidian was to be asked to test it along with his 4th dimensional interior components. As you may or may not have noticed it is incredibly easy to attach the 4D components to the various ships Obsidian has used. I have therefore decided to explain how these features work along with details about the new ship.
The 4D compartments have a self contained power grid separate from the rest of the ship they are attached to. The transport systems within use magic rather than technology to send and retrieve items and personnel. The internal area of the 4D compartments vary in size but the following are know to be contained inside. Obsidian's personal quarters, starting with The SS Lillun-B the quarters are now a part of the 4D interior and need to be anchored to an exterior wall and door. typically the exterior dimensions need to match the interior dimensions the idea behind this design is to keep from having to redecorate quarters. Cargo bay: The Cargo Bay within the 4D space contains all of Obsidian's personal vehicles and extra equipment as well as his personal armory. Vault: There is also a Vault that contains older armors and additional "Mission Specific" accessories .
The I.S.S. Phantasm is a Sathari warship prototype. Since Obsidian is the single most active official in the Sathari Empire it was decided that he would test it and it's features. It was a matter of coincidence that the ship would become available after the loss of The SS LillunB.
The Phantasm boasts a wraparound view screen and strategy table for combat planning and strategic coordinating. This a Astral Cartography setup wherein the captain can view an entire system and map out long range travel as well as see troop movements and ppositions
Weapon Systems;
In addition to standard ship to ship weaponry (360 degree Plasma/Ion emitters, and standard torpedoes x200,) as well as various probes and survey equipment. The I.S.S. Phantasm boasts the following unique armaments:
Twin port and Starboard 360 degree rotating, Phase modified, variable frequency cannons.
These dual barreled cannons are capable of bypassing a ship's shields completely and harming only the crew within. Against an opponent with Phased shielding they can penetrate the shield within 3 shots by tuning into the shield frequency.
Ant-Matter FTL Torpedoes: Standard compliment is 100 however, with the addition of Obsidian's 4D Compartments the payload is increased to an ungodly 2,100 warheads.
Combat drones: The Phantasm is equipped with 14 autonomous combat drones each with an advanced combat AI. The drones are equipped with a series of high yield Plasma cannons and 2 Low Yield Anti-matter warheads each. They have warp capability up to a maximum speed of Lx10 to the tenth power. However their flight time is limited to a maximum of one hour under full use at maximum speed
Main CannonThe greatest weapon aboard the Phantasm and located on its Keel (Belly of the ship), is it's main cannon. Designed as an anti-planet weapon it has a range of one half light year and fires using a Soliton wave beam, allowing the beam itself to travel faster than light speeds. The farther the target is the the more the beam accelerates to it's target. However at just beyond a half light year the beam simply decays rapidly and dissipates. The reason for this is yet unknown. The damage from the carrier wave is exponentially added to the type of energy it conveys and can become powerful enough to split a planet in half as in the case of an anti-proton beam.
In this specific case it works as an amplifier with regards to the released energy at impact.
The beam itself can fire any standard energy types and is equipped to fire Plasma, Ion, OOP (Out of Phase), Proton, Anti-Proton, and Disruption. It is feasible to use this as an interplanetary transporter by coupling it with an EMT transmitter.
The main cannon is proposed for installation in the former planet smasher of the old Empire.
Trinity-Drive: Like the Wraith fighter the Phantasm boasts 3 drive engines all powered from one core: Each drive is a more extreme version of one another.
Warp drives warp space allowing the ship to travel through ripples of distorted space making it appear to move faster than light.
Hyper-drive literally creates a miniature worm hole for the ship to travel through and is faster than the best warp drives available although it actually pulls the ship into the 4th dimension.
Space fold drive: creates a micro-thin portal between any two points in the ENTIRE UNIVERSE, although one must have the Galactic Rotation coordinates for both including universe drift coordinates. The farther away the two points are the longer the calculations take even with the supercomputers aboard the most advanced ships.
The magical protections aboard the Lillun have NOT been included as the magics involved seem to be beyond those of mortals with respect to area of effect, and intensity and have been substituted with inferior mortal magic. The spells include Lie detection, Anti-Teleport, Anti-Invisibility, Pacify, and Hold Fast. for the bridge alone. the various magical inscriptions are written in nano-script and repeated on every wall and plate of the ship. It is important to note that each member of the crew must undergo a "Tuning" ritual to be rendered immune to these spell effects. |

| It is rare that I make scenery images. I'm usually buried in characters and what not, but every now and then I reach a point where I make significant breakthroughs. Breakthroughs which take my artistic ability to the next level...this image is one such breakthrough as I couldn't myself, tell where the 3d ended and the backdrop began. Hopefully you won't either as the techniques I am now perfecting take my comics and my art in general to a whole new level of quality...the changes have been so few but they are significant. This forest is a perfect example. I hope you like it as much I do and enjoy looking at it as much as I enjoyed creating it |

Ever get the feeling you're being watched? Did you know that scientists believe that the ability is a type of energy? It radiates through solid objects like car windows...I mean, have you ever pulled up to a light and looked over to see someone looking at you? Yeah...what if you wore a suit of armor that absorbs psychic/psionic energy...you might very well lose a powerful instinctive tool...as Obsidian has. There's a reason he's always scanning...he knows this ability is impaired in his armor.Although he's also quite paranoid so he always assumes he's being watched.
