Artistic Challenge 17: Powersets - Assignments Given!

[UnkoMan]

Ack! Almost forgot about this, what with the not being computized for a while.

I've got my inks done. Just gotta scan and colour. And find it.

EDIT: And now that's done, too!



This ended up being way different than what I had originally thought up. I was going to fuel my obsession with ghost characters from this. The character was going to be sort of a misty figure, whose presence would be betrayed by a billowing fog. This fog would appear just before the character teleported into a place. The illusion ability would come from a dense fog that the people would see shapes of their biggest guilts and fears come back to haunt them. All in all very awesome.

Then, for some reason... I drew a crazy magician. His look just spilt outta me. But really, who doesn't love a neato magician who is probably from another dimension and comes to ours simply for kicks? Actually, I may go back and draw the mist character. Would it be allowed for me to add two entries?

[Pyroclasm]

Sure.  I think two takes on your assignment is legal. ;)

[Figure Fan]

Daglob, I really REALLY like the background story!

Great work, Unko!

[Glitch Girl]

Ugh, I may be late on this after all.  I took a powerhit last night in the middle of working  and now the file won't open.  I think it corrupted which means back to the drawing board.

Still I may try to get this in before deadline.

[daglob]

Unco, this looks great! Hmmm... maybe use him in Champions when I start the game back up...

[Revenant]

Here's a WIP of my entry..
I got Reepicheep's powerset-- Poison, Plant Control, Invisibility

The character's name is Knightshade.  He's part mutant, part magic-based, and I'm not sure if he's a hero or villain yet!  He gets his powers from a lost race of forest-dwellers.  He got a blood transfusion from one of them.  His origin story will vary depending on whether he's good or bad, but I know I want him to have petrified wooden armor, and Elvish appearance, but modern-looking.. and this color scheme:

Purple and green is alright by me!

For real, I think that looks great Rev. But hey, if you're going to make it even better don't let me stop you.

[daglob]

Yeah, Revenant, that is very good.

This keeps up I may FORCE my players back in a Champions game. I keep getting these ideas...

Ah, I should have thought to PM. No problem. I should have something by the end of this week if that's not too late.

[Pyroclasm]

There's no real due date.  Post it whenever you get it done.

[psychopanda]

Here's my entry: flight, energy blasts, invulnerabilty, superhuman strength, with Random style: Anime/Manga and random theme: Steampunk. The last two I have no experience with, so hopefully they came out ok.



Background: "Almost there" it processed....X--113's steam jet engines hit full capacity as it crested the top of the closest building.

"Terminate. Terminate. Terminate." droned the Calculan revision droids. Their programming immediately kicked in once their sensors analyzed the out-of-date tech of the steam-powered X-113.

Before they could fully process, Master-12 exclaimed "X--113! Volley plasma at 5 O'Clock!".

X-113 dutifully carried out its Master's command. Something stirred inside, what a Humanoid might call "a pang of regret" as it watched the decimation of a troop of Calculans. However, the choice was its own existence or theirs...hardly a choice at all. Deemed environmentally unfit, X--113 was destined to be "processed". Its only hope...to escape the city and seek out the reclusive inventor of the catalyverter....

Oh, hey... I just wanted to say... That is TOTALLY SWEET.

[zuludelta]

Really enjoying the entries, guys. :thumbup:

[psychopanda]

Oh, hey... I just wanted to say... That is TOTALLY SWEET.

Thanks, Unko. I really like to see the new things you come up with in these challenges as well. Fun stuff!

[Revenant]

Ok here's my entry, better late than never!
I got Reepicheep's powerset: Poison, Invisibility, Plant Control.


Knightshade was a relief worker deployed with his wife to South America.  The final part of their mission involved taking a boat down a river, through a dark jungle.  Somewhere along the way, their boat must have taken a wrong turn, and they found themselves in an uncharted area of the jungle.  Furthermore, the air was filled with a strange, glowing blue mist.

Suddenly the boat hit some rapids.  They struggled to stay afloat, but it was too late, they went over a massive waterfall!  When nightshade awoke, he found that he was the only survivor, and his wife had vanished!  He was injured and lost a lot of blood.  While he slept, the water he was laying in seeped into his wounds.  He noticed a bluish infection creeping up his veins. 

Knightshade somehow gained strange powers from the infection of the unknown substance.  The plants of the jungle seemed to speak to him telepathically, and would obey his mental command.  The trees parted, and vines lifted him above the canopy.  In no time, he found his way back to civilization.

Knightshade later learned that his presence among normal people was poisonous.  He learned to control this effect, to protect those around him.  Instead of killing others, he learned that a small dose of poisonous gas could render an opponent unconscious without killing them.  A side effect of this strangte blue mist was that, if Knightshade directed it at the eyes of an opponent, their optic nerve would not register his appearance, thus rendering him invisible!

Unfortunately, the loss of his wife, and his seeming delusional communication with plant life, led Knightshade down a dark path.  He fashioned a frightening identity with a forboding costume, based on the Dark Elves of old, and became a criminal and an eco-terrorist.  His petrified wooden armor is as hard as quartz.  Unlike Aquaman, Namor, and other environmentally concerned metahumans, Knightshade is willing and delighted to kill all who get in his way.  He fights to bring about a Paradise devoid of other people -- a world where the only life that thrives is plant life.
