make your own hero/Heromachine thread?

edited May 2007 in Graphic Violence
Guy Nosurname, alias Night Terror, is kind of a wandering space-ninja who gets into a lot of ridiculous situations in a series of picaresque stories.

That is the closest I can get to what my main character looks like, at least with using the free version of HeroMachine.


Is anyone else working on a comic? I am working on this comic/novel thing, but I can't draw at all. I'm trying to script some of my "prose" into comic script, but it is a slow process. Since I can't draw, I fool around with Heromachine once in a while, trying to make my protagonist.

He is not really a dwarf, but somewhat short and I imagine the graphic novel/illustrated novel having the art in kind of a vague superdeformed meets Corey Lewis meets Frank Quitely thing. Based on everything from the Midnighter to Kamen Rider to a bunch of different things from various cyberpunk stuff, and Sharknife, the main character is an android on the run from just about everyone.

The boots have detachable wheels. There will be some kind of design on the upper torso, once I figure out what it is, and the scarf is the classic videogame ninja scarf, with twin tails that flap around all stylish but noone ever thinks to grab him by the scarf no matter what. I am open for suggestion on the colors, as they seem kind of blah. He needs to be mostly black, since he is a spaceninja, but I need some highlights or something.

    He is a ninja who spends a lot of time in places where rollarblades would allow faster movement, such as cities and whatnot. He doesn't wear them all the time or anything like that.

    I've made up my own comic book characters/series, but I don't really want to post the picture I have of them or much info online. But it's always a fun diversion.

    Archmage Bloodshit is a totally rude four-armed chain-smoking leopard man from the 21st Century 1500s. He has rubies for eyes so he can only view the color of blood and some wicked black and lime rollerblades like I had when I was 8. Along with his pet abomination and sin against God, he dispenses his own personal brand of arcane justice...with a gun.

    Nice. Is that from City of Heroes?

    He actually has a helmet and a scarf on. (I can't really do it with heromachine)The helmet is kind of... a cross between Pascal Ferry's redesign of Adam Strange, Hurricane Polymar and Viewtiful Joe, with the same mixture for his torso. It is spacey-looking and sleek, but not completely smooth... Those are the things that are closest anyway... The helmet has an eyeshield thing that splits in half and goes into the sides of the helmet... It used to belong to a Power Ranger type, but he died and Night Terror found it and reprogrammed it. An armor skin type stuff flows out of it and covers his "flesh", and it can summon more armor (such as shoulder pads, chest plate, etc and a gigantic mecha suit) if needed (although he doesn't know about that for a long time). He's a ninja though, so he doesn't do that very often. It blocks EMP attacks, which is useful if you are a droid.

    From a stand-alone version of the CoH creation system, yep. It's out of date, though. I really wish I knew a way to add all the new costume options to it. I gave it another try, with a helmet and a top that's more noticably armor.

    terror2.jpg

    There's like five or six different types of 'V' things on the top of the helmet. I put those protrusions on the side because I think I remember Adam Strange having ear-knobs himself.

    Uh, I'm not entirely sure about the legality of a standalone City of Heroes character creator. But if it's not authorized or distributed by NCSoft, it probably shouldn't be mentioned here.

    NCSoft made it. It was available to download off their Korean (I think) site when that version of the game launched. I only know about it because Penny Arcade itself had an article/link up about it on their main page.

    Though it may just be because that and Void Hunters are both made using CoX costume pieces (the identical scarf, for ex).

    Would this be a good/bad thread for posting my CoX characters?

    i've never played COH. what the hell is a void hunter?

    are void hunters rogue android space ninjas who have very little angst and have more in common with viewtiful joe's flippant attitude than any kind of angst? you guys are assuming an awful lot. At first glance, he is a space ninja with a red scarf, who sometimes wears roller skates. There is a lot more to a character than what can be duplicated using generic templates (heromachine, this hero creator program). I can't draw. I am doing the best I can with generic templates. Of course he will look kind of generic. He is being represented by templates!

    Seriously though, upon glancing at the thumbnail I kind of thought you'd made the character from Hero by Night. They're very similar in the whole face region. Not so much with the rollerblades though..
