Looks like I missed something here, oh well, at least I've found it again now. So I guess I just add another great job aquana to the list. Sorry not to have anything creative to say.

Yup, still workin! Wellstar and I are devoting ourselves a lot more seriously to our work, and I'm currently in the process of getting ready to go back to school. Right now I'm working on a new script for our comic (we decided to go in another direction we would be more proud of), but that doesn't stop me from doodling when I can.
I'm having a lot of fun in the solo game Wellstar is running for me. So here's another picture of Vegas, showing off her Justice tattoo and cyberarm.
Like I said, lotsa fun in the solo game. So much fun, in fact, that I decided to run a solo game for Wellstar in his Mutants and Masterminds setting!
Wellstar's character is Matt Sykes, a 17-year old who finds an alien bio-suit (the idea was based loosely off of Guyver). He wanted to play out his origin story, and I obliged so he could be surprised by how it happens. He ends up running into an alien calling itself Dosek, who was on the run from this man:
Agent Nathan Rook. Being that Wellstar's idea for a super was based off of aliens, I decided to push the idea to cover as many references to aliens in comics that I could think of. Agent Rook is based off of Agent Bishop of the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series, and quickly became the most horrific villian I've ever made. In not the worst, then a very close second.
Dosek was on the run from Rook and the super-secret government organization, Pure Earth. The alien already injured upon first meeting Matt, and Matt is fatally wounded in the crossfire. To save Matt's life and to protect something from Pure Earth, Dosek gives up his life and bonds with the human. Matt took the superhero name Dosek from the being that saved him, and decided to take on Pure Earth with the help of another super, Bishoujo Star!
I should ashamed of that one, but HA! I'm NOT!
Dosek and Bishoujo Star end up becoming an item at the end of the first story arc, which was painfully adorable.
But until then, the two of them had to defend themselves against Pure Earth's most demented weapons: the Changling Project. Each of the members of the Changling project were infants who were altered with different alien DNA, making them human/alien hybrids under the organization's careful tutalage.
The eldest was Bastion Lance, whose alien parentage was based off of Martian Manhunter.
Gamma Steel, a woman who skated on thin air and was created from a scout not unlike Silver Surfer.
I had another, LifeWire, who was a more controllable version of the Phallanx, but the picture of it sucked so I'm not putting it up.
But the one I had the most fun playing was the youngest: Spite, whose "father" was Century City's version of Lobo. For the record ... she is a girl.
Matt managed to topple the organization with a little help from the Dozer, Bishoujo Star's moon bunny mentor, and Spite's father, Ordon the Slayer. Agent Rook escaped capture along with Gamma Steel and Lifewire, Spite and Ordon decided to spend a little quality time together on another planet, and Matt decided to take it easy for a few days.
The second storyline I have prepared for Matt concerns a vigilante he met a few times during the first story arc. Night Ankh is a young woman also relatively new in the superhero gig, at least she thinks so. More when I have it.

Holy Moley Script!! 06/13
And check it out I did. It's so neat that people can get such varying characters from a game. Which is pretty rockin. Though I just gotta wonder why the game decided Sarah's dad stands like a Nancy boy.
Moving on.
So the major thing right now is between getting paperwork in to go back to school, Wellstar and I are making significant progress on our comic script. I just finished the first draft yesterday, it is awaiting critique from Rangerwickett and Keska.
Wellstar and I have been doing sketches of the characters just to make sure we still have a good handle on them. So I present some of the major characters to you, faithful readers, in anticipation of actual pencil work being done.
This is the main character, Yumi Nguyen ...
... Who becomes involved with the affairs of this man, Kurt Dominick.
Some of the supporting cast includes Angie Thorne, superpowered cutie
And holy mage, Charity Hargrave. Yes, I said HOLY mage. The dress can easily be explained with the phrase "Look. Don't touch."
And here's one of the villians, Royce. More dudes should wear pinstripes, seriously.
So anyway, slight update today. Here's hoping that sometime relatively soon I'll actually be able to advertise a finished graphic novel here.

that's the way all sims stand when you're making them. they stand like models so they can show off the clothes you're testing. i don't know if you noticed, but i did put another character up since you posted. i'm kind of dissapointed that no one else has said anything--i worked for hours on those characters. but anyway, though the recognition would be nice, that's not why i do them.
