Artistic Challenge 14 (Amalgam) Check Out the Art!

[Pyroclasm]

Yes, you can collaborate.

The rule about the art having to be your own is in reference to people recycling someone else's work in whole or in part. (Especially without express permission of the original artist.)  This does not mean you cannot use another artist's work as reference.

BTW, quite funny.

Cool. In this case, I have a black and white image all prepared and ready for colouring. I have to say, it looks pretty funky. If anyone wants both a preview and to lend a hand at giving this the final touch of colour, I'd be very happy. Send a shout if you can.

[gdaybloke]

I was gonna say something along the same lines, Reep. I've finished the black and white, now I need to colour the damn thing... or find someone willing to colour it for me, since there's something I need to represent that I can't do with pencils/inks... hee

[gdaybloke]

Ladies and gentlement, I give you... USSRgent!
I basically took elements of USAgent's costume from the Force Works era (I enjoyed that comic, so sue me) and mixed it with some Red Star elements - apparently both characters have worn pirate boots. Go figure.
Since Red Star's all about fire, I wanted to try and do a fire shield on the left hand (in the Force Works era, USAgent's armbands generated an energy shield), but I wanted to do it digitally, so there's nothing there until this gets coloured. (*shrugs*)
The traditionally bad pun is in the name - USSRgent instead of USAgent, and I'd have silver (argent!) as a predominant colour.

G'day, if you have photoshop/paintshop send a PM. I've figured out my own fire effect that seems to work quite effectively that I'm sure you can use. Its pretty nifty so far, I must say!!  :thumbup:


Since G'days gone ahead and done it, I might as well post my WIP. I figured the only possible way I could merge the two characters would be to give you something resembling a Legend of Zelda boss (What with the Norse/Asguardian theme and the use of a catterpillar) so I kept to that as my guideline. I even thought out on how Link would go about defeating it, but lets leave that for another time.

And now for the most original name you will ever hear... THORMIND

What? Don't look at me like that!

[gdaybloke]

Considering the constraints you were under in terms of characters, that's pretty darn spiffy keen, Reep. I freely admit, you've done better than I thought you would be able to !

[Protomorph]

Well done, Reep!

I love amalgams. I wish I would have seen this before, I would have entered. Pencil me in for the next one.

[Rick Battlemage]

When I saw Reep's drawing I just knew I had to try and color it. It truly is a splendid piece.

The colored Thormind:

[Reepicheep]

I just wet myself out of glee.

'tis some pretty damn funky handiwork there. Certainly a nice suprise!!

:thumbup:

[UnkoMan]

Very nice... that's actually quite frightening. Come on, you wouldn't want to run into that.

[Thunder]

Okay..I got Iron Man and Superman.

Anthony Kent was a brilliant inventor and electronics expert.  He was driving through the sleepy town of Smallville, Kansas when he was almost run off the road by a caravan of large trucks.  Anthony got out of his car and tried to get some license plate numbers.  When, suddenly, he saw a flash of light and something struck the ground near him.  He awoke to find himself in intense pain and surrounded by men in strange uniforms.  He had been captured by the terrorist group known as The Hive of the Hydra, the drivers of the trucks.  He was told that he was recovered with the remains of what was believed to be an extraterrestrial craft.  They knew of Kent's work and threatened to kill him if he didn't salvage usable technology from the small craft.  They told him that his heart was severely damaged in the crash of the ship.  Anthony began to examine the capsule and happened upon a release switch.  Inside the craft he found what appeared to be a teen-age humanoid.  The poor boy was dead.  The corpse was clutching a small shield-shaped device.  When Anthony touched the device, his mind was flooded with images of the planet Krypton, long dead, that sent their only survivor into space.  Anthony's mind was flooded with languages, images, and schematics for various devices.  He began working feverishly on a design that had been implanted in his memory.  Anthony began cannibalizing the ship and created a suit of armor.  The small shield-shaped device was actually a power source.  He also found out that it was bio-mechanical.  He donned the suit and attached the device to his chest..very close to his heart.  There was a small moment of pain as Kent collapsed.  He awoke only a few moments later to find the armor missing?!  However, the small device was grafted to his chest, and it was keeping his heart functioning.  He touched it, and his armor began to form around his body.  When the transformation was complete, the power source glowed with the Kryptonian symbol for Power.  Kent broke out of the facility and embarked on a career as a superhero.  He was now the living legacy of planet Krypton.  Superion lived.

Here's the black and white pic...I'm horrible with colors, so I didn't even try to color it.  If anyone wants to, please feel free to give it a color scheme.   :)

[Revenant]

That looks awesome Thunder, great back story too!  :thumbup: :thumbup:

[Thunder]

Thanks!  I put some real thought on how to combine the two origins.

[Reepicheep]

Hey, thats pretty weicked!

:thumbup:

[Uncle Yuan]

I agree - cool story and great design.

Just to pick nits: your emblem is a triangle.

[Thunder]

It always itches when my nits are picked :) . So I changeed it to a "shield" shaped device   :P

[UnkoMan]

Man, that's sweet looking armor. You really put a lot of thought into it, too. And here the whole reason I did this was to draw Doop in somebody's costume.

That being said...

[Uncle Yuan]

Unko - that thing ROCKS!

[Thunder]

 Unko-  I love it. Beware the power of Dr. Doop!

G'Day- Really good mesh of the two. I can''t wait to see the color scheme.

Reep- Awesome idea.  I'd be quivering like a hairless chihuahua if I saw that thing crawling on MY hammer LOL

Technically you can still join this one.  You just have to declare the Marvel character you'll use, and I'll give you a DC character from a pool.  You can join this one anytime up until April 1st.  Otherwise, the next challenge (an Avatar Randomizer) which begins on the 1st, is already taking signups in this thread: http://freedomreborn.net/archive/index.php?topic=41802.0

[bearded]

not sure if i need to add to the dc pool, but if so: supergirl.
