Very cool cast of characters. Actually that last one wasn't so much of a stretch, there is one theory that says that migratory whales navigate by "seeing" the earth's magnetic/gravitational topology. The only strange thing was that this same documentary was trying to explain why whales get beached. Doh! :o)
Supafly
DAMN!!! this is hot! really cool...
Teyon
Thanks. :)
Teyon
Oh! I added some stuff to Spark's Bio. I forgot that I wanted her to blow things up with her power.
Styxx
Great work Teyon! Gads I wish I could draw like that!
Xurge
Teyon, this one is fabulous. Amazing how you got their personalities so well drawn. They fit their bios perfectly.
Teyon
Thanks bud. :) All this praise has me beamin'.
Juji
Well, let me offer some more praise. :) I have to compliment you on your muscular placement. It is all in perfect harmony, none of it is stretched or "forced" into place. It looks natural. You've done some homework, I'm thinking.
Teyon
Hey! Thanks Juji! Yeah, I had to teach myself basic anatomy back when I was with Merge. I was the inker on staff and had to corret any mistakes the penciler made, so I had to know what looked right and what looked wrong. Since then, I've just been practicing every chance I get. Thanks again everyone!
Modulok

psychodan

RyK

Teyon
Thanks you two!
Teyon
Thanks, Eric! I use anything that will make a mark on the page, really. Pen, brush, sponge. Anything. I haven't inked in a while but I will be starting up again. This is actually just my pencil stuff... As for the designs, I try to keep 'em simple for the "official" heroes because that makes them easily recognizable and accessible. Mainstream has always been a leftover character of mine and out of desperation, I threw him in here. THe team needed a leader. :) Shadie has an X on him because my very first drawing of him was pretty bad and I draw big X's over things I don't like. When I thought the deadline for the challenge was looming, I looked at him again and decided to include the X I drew as a sort of personal joke. The only character of the bunch that I like is Spark. Probably because she was the only one whose design worked in my mind. Thanks again!
EricClaeys
LOL, that's a good explanation for the X.("damnit! ...wait, that might work..."). I think many of my designs are little too complicated - difficult to replicate over and over (I'll post a few). I like Spark the most as well - a combination of Gambit and Buttercup ;)
