Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine If these are WWII-era characters, then shouldn't Feline Fury have some clothes on, even if they do wind up only being a two-piece bikini (or one-piece swimsuit-type outfit)? I'd think that the folks running the CCA would do more than just frown at the idea of an unclothed superheroine running around (even if she is covered in fur). Major Tom 2009

Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine Ooooo...Hercules had better watch out. I don't doubt that, with his name and looks, that he'll be out to do to Hercules what Hercules did to his ancient namesake. Major Tom 2009

Re: Take a Teammate to a Movie Excuse me, but I think that the film you're describing is To Sir, With Love. The movie that you mentioned was more or less a sequel to In The Heat of the Night, which also featured the character of Detective Virgil Tibbs. Major Tom 2009

Re: Else Earth Pantheons of the ...Verse And the last pic in this set, the Legion of Ares: [ATTACH=CONFIG]43172[/ATTACH] It was mentioned by steamteck in his post that Ares (in his campaign world) has a group of Halo-type Spartans, so I set out to design these bad boys with that basic style, but with a Grecian theme incorporated into their look, and this is the result.

Re: Else Earth Pantheons of the ...Verse Eris' brothers, Phobos and Deimos (Fear and Terror): [ATTACH=CONFIG]43171[/ATTACH] Phobos is in the yellow armor, while Deimos is in the orange-red armor. Major Tom 2009

Re: Else Earth Pantheons of the ...Verse I got the idea for the next set of pics after reading steamteck's post about Ares and Co., and what they've done in his campaign world. First up is Eris, the sister of Ares and demigoddess of Strife and Discord: [ATTACH=CONFIG]43170[/ATTACH] Major Tom 2009

Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine Here's somebody whose pic I'd somehow forgotten to do when I was redoing jack78's Progeny pics -- Dyrge: [ATTACH=CONFIG]43169[/ATTACH] Major Tom 2009

Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine Here's a character pic from the Cosmic Centurions thread that I recently redid in F2011 format -- and upgraded his firepower, to boot. Presenting the redone Dyrakk, the Positronic Man: [ATTACH=CONFIG]43168[/ATTACH] This is the new "Strike Armor" configuration, which adds wings for improved stability in atmospheric flight, as well as wingtip-mounted air-to-air missiles for use against targets beyond the range of his innate energy-projection powers. The missiles them- selves can carry an antimatter payload, and are charged using Dyrakk's own power. In a combat situation, the missiles remain uncharged until a short time before firing, in order to prevent accidental detonation (it wouldn't do for an enemy to get off a lucky shot that hits and sets off a missile while it's still attached to its launch rail now, would it []?). The amount of antimatter that can be loaded into each warhead is limited; neverthe- less, these weapons are extremely powerful for their size, and their yield can be ad- justed simply by regulating the amount of antimatter inserted into the warhead. At their minimum power, each warhead has an explosive yield of 5 kilotons (half that of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs), while their maximum yield is 100 kilotons each. Because of the destructive power represented by these missiles -- of which there are four, arranged in an over-and-under pattern on the wingtip hardpoints -- they are restricted to extra-atmospheric use only.

Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine Nice pic there, Arc. Still...you want to be careful about delving too deeply into the Mythos, even if it is strictly in an artistic sense. Major Tom 2009

Re: "Space" music recommendation! Here're some titles of instrumental music that could be used as "space" music: Armada 1,000 Ships of the Underworld Interceptors Duel All by Two Steps From Hell, and Tomb Raider: Underworld main theme by Troels Fohlmann. There are a few other pieces of music done by Two Steps From Hell that fit the category of "space" music, but I can't remember their titles at the moment. The ones that I've mentioned here can be found on YouTube, however, along with many others. Major Tom 2009

Re: Else Earth Pantheons of the ...Verse She's definitely got a Pulp Hero look to her, not to mention the elements from Wonder Woman's outfit which are visible there. Major Tom 2009

Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine This pic is of Makhvell's twin sister Kretzia, and while she isn't as strong or as smart as her brother, she's no less dangerous than he is. This is because she has the power to poison an opponent with her touch alone: [ATTACH=CONFIG]43094[/ATTACH] Kretzia can adjust the strength of her poison touch so that her victims are either paralyzed but alive, or she can raise the toxicity level to such a point that her victim(s) die within instants of the touch. Like her brother, Kretzia is more human-looking than the rest of her Nymrian "siblings", and she's almost as tall as he is (Makhvell stands 6'5'' tall, while Kretzia is an even 6' tall without her high heels). While Makhvell and Kretzia are the only Human-Nymrian hybrids known thus far, they won't be the only ones in existence for very long -- after all, Kraessius still has his captive "breeding stock"...and plenty of time in which to experiment. Major Tom 2009

Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine These next two pics are the result of an idea that I had after reading the background that jack78 posted about Kraessius and the Progeny; especially about how they were all created from Kraessius' own genetic material. But what if Kraessius had decided to improve upon his Progeny by adding human DNA to the mix? It wouldn't be all that hard to do, especially if he had his "children" kidnap selected human beings from across the globe with the intent of using them for -- in essence -- breeding stock. This first pic is of the first of Kraessius' Human-Nymrian hybrid "children" -- the super- strong and super-intelligent Makhvell: [ATTACH=CONFIG]43093[/ATTACH] While Makhvell has the ridged eyebrow of his Nymrian "parent", the rest of his facial features are somewhat more human. His eyes, for example, have luminescent yellow pupils as opposed to the pure jet black of his "siblings", and he has a human-like nose whereas none of the others do. In addition, his skin has an ivory coloration to it, and he has white hair as well. If he has any powers other than superhumanoid strength and intelligence, they have either not yet manifested themselves or he has chosen to conceal them in order to provide himself with a strategic advantage.
