A tribute to our veterans as April shows her (uh-hem) stripes on this Veterans Day. Well maybe not really, but happy day all ye vets nonetheless!
Swiped concept from Dominatrix #3 (I think it was #3...) |

I had posted this pic sometime last year, but for some reason it no longer resides in my HM archives. Therefore I am reposting it now, for two reasons:
1) It is going in April's forthcoming pinup book (with a foreword by MissVee). Each pinup has a brief description. They also include excerpted comments from HM and dA, and I wanted to make sure it was cool with you guys to do so. Each pinup has only about 3-5 comments, all anonymous, and I can't remember who said what anyway. Some of your comments were just too delicious to pass up, so I included them with their respective pinups.
2) Also Mr. Hazard thought I should bring this to your attention, for posterity if nothing else. So, to placate the hypertensive Hazard, and maybe get a few comments with the pinup above (the ones I have now are from dA only), hence the repost (riposte?)
Anyway, if any of you mods knows what happened to the original file, please contact me. Thanks all.

April heats up the kitchen as a sexy blonde baxter. If you notice the clock hands are so positioned as if to suggest the old nursery rhyme "4 and 20 blackbirds..." etc.
April's 2nd comic is now available at IndyPlanet http://www.indyplanet.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=4134
You've already seen many of the pages in development here at HM over the months, and now all 28 pages are print on demand in blazing color. Total PG fanboy (and fan girl) fare.
And if that's not enough, there's a new foreword by HM's very own Biohaz Daddy! |

Postcard art for my OC April Fewells. Admiral April strikes a pinup pose on another kitschy photography set. Presumably the cut-out ships crash into each other because of the distraction. (I think the Portuguese ship was commanded by Mr. OCP  ) |

Yet another page from drunkendragon's bedtime storybook. Looks like it's about bed time, in fact.
Maybe if I do enough of these pages, eventually I should have an entire storybook (Mr. Hazard assured me it was okay to post here). |

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). |

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.

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. |

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?

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.

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! |

| Miss V, Showgirl From Hell

First issue cover. Synopsis: While following a lead to an underground Vegas drug connection (the town is only referred to as Vegas, never Las Vegas) Miss V uncovers the secret lair of The Queen-of-Nice, an arms smuggler for the trade, and the first in a series of super villains. The origins of Miss V are also introduced in back story sequences.
The artwork took me much longer to compose than usual. I initially held an image in my mind that was not in its entirety. It had to be fleshed out, though piecemeal, on paper and in PS. Special thanks to Mr. Android and his wonderful artistic sensibilities for helping me get past a few creative blocks, and Mr. MC and his expertise with firearms. |

Okay lounge lizards! I decided to do one last She-Hulk a la Jessica Rabbit. This time I wanted a different approach, something between Mr. Android's technique and Mr. DarkBlade's technique (see Forum). As you can see the art is for her new CD cover.
Special thanks to Mr. Wolf who first got me inspired by 50's diva Julie London, and Mr. OCP for loading the sound file. Shulkie sings Julie London in this new retro CD. It should be her last cover for awhile (unless of course she recreates the layout for Ms. London's " Calendar Girl" album)! |

(Inspired in part by MC's Songbird). |

Another find from the archives. Heromorph's premier horror comic from the 1970's, recently found on Ebay.
I've always been a big fan of Berni (or Bernie) Wrightson's brush style, so I thought I'd take a break from the super heroines and start brushing. We seem to have a dearth of horror comics around here, sooo...
The masthead was all hand lettered. The style, the coloring, and the graphics are a throwback to the era of DC's flagship horror comic "The House of Mystery", from the '70's. http://www.coverbrowser.com/covers/house-of-mystery/5 . Judging by this cover, HM wasn't shelling out much money for writers at the time.
This piece is dedicated to Mr. OCP, and his former management at the hostel pension. |
