I was playing around with some different tools and discovered some functions that allowed me to create a "vintage comic" style, space-hopping superhero named Galaxy!

That's real cool!

Well I've given up on the Chibi experiment for now, I really enjoy doing the more "realistic" forms. Here's a villain I threw together named Copperhead, an Irish mercenary who has thrown in with a revolutionary cell, for now...

Here's another version of Copperhead, run through an ink sketch program. Which one do you guys prefer?

I really love how the second picture stands out. The background on the second picture achieves a much nicer effect.

The second background focuses the eye on the gun, torso and orange balaclava.

Very cool.

Yah I guess the first one did lose the figure in the background a bit. I'm always at a loss for what to do on the background, not wanting to put in the time for anything too involved.

Thanks for your opinions!

I was browsing my BASH! book today and saw the picture of the female superhero at the bottom of the Dice Roll chart (2nd to the right) and started wondering what her super power(s) were, so I drew her with a forcefield and came up with this...

Oh and I like ponytails, just my thing

Does she (or any of the characters) in the BASH! rules set have a name? I just put her down as Bashgirl!

Here's a quick rendering of Pinstripe, a thuggish crime boss who lords over universal City's underworld from my (hopefully) upcoming pbp game.

And yes, I know I didn't draw any pinstripes on his suit

I love the glow effect you achieved for BASHGIRL. She looks great. Great pose, and the force-field effect on the right is a nice effect also.

You make this look easy.

cheers

Thanks guys. Really purchasing and then getting used to using a drawing tablet was the biggest hurdle.

Many of the effects I use, like the forcefields, are just functions on a drawing program (paint.net) that take some time to familiarize myself with (I'm still on the bottom of the learning curve with the program).

For those of you that haven't taken a look at our Chimera game, I've started finding photos online and tweaking them to add a visual element to the pbp (Ch5, p4 and 5). I don't know if the players really care, but I think it helps break up the endless pages of text and are easy to produce, if not totally original.
