Yeah, Frost is a cool villain. He just has this aura of cold that can kill people in an area, but he doesn't do ice blasts and such (hence the gun). Ant Queen is amusing as she fought a tarzan style hero in the jungle, yet she had on high heels :P

It's funny how 2 artists can do 2 interesting takes on a character. Joe did a version of Dark Knight (on page 13), which I felt would be better suited as a Golden Age hero. So I had Anthony do one, and he came up with his version which fits more modern day.

Really good stuff from all the artists!

Some new sketches from Brian Brinlee. It's a group of 4 Deities taking on the roles of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Representing War is Aray, the Armenian War God:

Representing Pestilence is Lamashtu, a Mesopotamian Goddes/Demon related to disease:

Mora (which means Nightmare in Croatian) is a Doctor who develops devices to mess with people's dreams and emotions. She's kind of in the vein of Doctor Destiny from DC in that she isn't an in your face kind of confrontation. She messes with you in your dreams, from a distance, etc. When she is confronted face to face, she isn't the type to fight you, so she's pretty much done once you find her.

All 3 of them were created using ICONS random character generation, and I ran with the rest from there

Playing around with paintshop Pro a bit, so here's a composite of 4 characters Khairul Hisham did for me. From left to right, this is Gloom, Mr. Slim, The Overlord & Glare:

A new one from Joe: This is Furnace. Think Mr. Freeze, but instead of using Ice, they use fire:

Also, put together a composite of The Union, a group of street level villains I posted sketches of earlier:

Holy! Great stuff, urbwar. The Furnace is a great character concept. I really like the cage helmet and burning head idea.

The idea came to me after seeing a piece Dan Houser did for the rpg Bulletproof Blues of a villain named Vulcan. It inspired this characters creation

updated the Furnace sketch. Got 2 more public domain villains:

Firebug was a German saboteur who used a flame weapon. For my version, he actually controls fire:

And the murderous Mist!
