Superguy Gallery

    These pieces come from my first Superguy series, which started as 36 Crazy Plots and quickly became Crazy Guy when I realized 36 plots maaaay have been biting off more than I could chew.

• Crazy Guy: My very own Superguy character, check out his series, Crazy Guy (originally "36 Crazy Plots"). He's an homage to Hong Kong comedic martial artist Jackie Chan. 2/2/96
• Crazy Guy Figure: As part of a demo project for my physics education work, I painted a Silver Surfer "Metal Mania" toy as Crazy Guy. I used a full "bandana over the head" mask on this version because the figure's bald and I don't have anything durable enough to use as hair. The image is twice the size of the figure. 8/20/96
• Crazy Guy Action Figure: Created from the "Quest for Camelot" figure Garrett, this action figure retains full posability as well as the staff-spinning gimmick built into the original toy. I trimmed off Garrett's long hair and built up Jack's hairdo using Milliput epoxy putty. I also used putty for the mask, his wristbands, the smaller weapon he's holding and touch-up on his tunic. The staff is a red plastic rod painted gold at either end. I don't know what the smaller weapon is, I had some leftover mixed putty and decided to make him a smaller weapon he could spin more quickly. 5/22/99
• Vector: Telekinetic psychedelic martial artist. He's a redesign of an older character of mine, and shows up in Crazy Guy #7. I mistakenly refer to him as brown-haired there. 5/27/96
• Ben Sidhe: Pronounced "Banshee." Disorienting Chi scream simultaneously befuddles foes and makes her flesh iron-hard. Martial arts assassin hired to kill Crazy Guy in 36 Crazy Plots #4, she's a recurring character. 5/31/96
• Ben Sidhe Action Figure: Kitbashed from a Tekken 3 Nina Williams figure I got at Electronics Boutique for 99 cents on clearance. Rather than try to reproduce the dress Mairi wears in the drawing above, I settled for a modest top made from epoxy putty and cutting her fetish shoes down to a more reasonable form. The hair was the trickiest part. I built up the top with putty, but used insulated electrical wiring for the braid, braiding it together and then filling the gaps with hot glue and painting the whole thing orange. The figure has an exchangable right arm, the other one can hold various weapons, and I painted a wristband on the spare arm (not shown). Oh, and my brain skipped a line or something when I did the text on the main image here, she's not called Banshee, it's just pronounced that way. 6/17/99

    My second Superguy series took characters from my LNH writing and dropped 'em in Superguy, stealing heavily from the Exalted RPG for the first mega-arc.

• Skysabre: Formerly Sig.Lad, here he is with the magic weapon Skysabre and a suit of magically reinforced armor (which, as of the date of this drawing, he hadn't acquired in the story yet). Copyright Dvandom 5/12/02
• Oakthorn: Formerly Cheez Arrow, here he is with his magic bow Oakthorn and the living wooden armor granted him by the bow. Copyright Dvandom 6/1/02, although the pose and logo style borrowed from the cover of the Exalted rulebook.
• Katena: Formerly Kopikat, she lost her robotic shapeshifting abilities when she grasped the Stone Catena and her body turned into malleable marble. The armor is in part based on the cover of Nobilis 2nd Edition (and, like Skysabre, she hasn't obtained the armor as of the time I drew it). Copyright Dvandom 6/13/02.
• Forgeheart: Formerly Rotanna, she lost her original magic powers and gained a fire aspect. Her weapon is the hammer Forgeheart, and her armor (same deal as above) has an oversized right arm with mystic musculature. No, it's not forced perspective, her right fist is that big. Copyright Dvandom 6/15/02.
• Seafixer: Identity a secret for much of the arc, but the armor covers the entire body, so no spoilers here. The weapon is Seafixer, aka the sea-fixing pin used by Jack (Crazy Guy). Yes, it was red and gold when he used it. The paint burns off when its true nature is revealed. Oh, and I used no digital effects...it's all gel pen and correction marker and stuff. Copyright Dvandom 12/23/02.
• The Gentle Gift of Crimson: the "Prince of Shadows" mini from the Exalted line, painted up as GGoC. 6/16/06.

    The second mega-arc kinda flamed out, but I got some art out of it. This arc was more of a Feng Shui/Shadowfist thing, picking up plot threads from Crazy Guy.

• Skysabre: With the loss of the mystic armors worn in A Season In Crimson, it's time for new costumes! Skysabre is the first, with a more utilitarian outfit inspired in part by Challengers of the Unknown and their ilk. Copyright Dvandom 2003.
• Kat: She opts for a practical outfit, more or less, with big boots because she's tired of leaving footprints in the sidewalk. The thong is made of something REALLY durable, so it'll survive the kinds of damage dished out on Kat. Made of ComicsCodium or something. Copyright Dvandom 2003.
  • Gashopon Kat: A capsule figure (gashopon) I got as a bonus in a trade, painted to more or less resemble Kat. Copyright Dvandom 2005.
• Oakthorn: Leather aviator's jacket, cargo pants with strap-on quivers. The bow and arrows are all collapsible (hence the short quivers), and he's dyeing his beard orange. He doesn't adopt the collapsible arrows until after the events that start in episode 29. Copyright Dvandom 2004.

    A few years later, I rebooted. Lower power levels, a sort of Flash Gordon pastiche.

• Jamais Lokris: Deja Thoris homage, a sorceress Black Squirrel introduced late in the Flash Drives arc. September 2009.

    Either characters someone else created, or that don't really fit into stories (like my Authorial Muse...she's appeared in Exarchs, but isn't really an Exarchs character, know what I mean?).

• Summer: Chris Meadows's character from his Team M.E.C.H.A. series in her hardsuit form. I pulled out my BubbleGum Crisis "Movie Book" and blended elements of various Knight Sabre hardsuits for this design, mainly Nene's and Linna's. See Chris's page (from the Links section of my page) for a picture of Summer in normal form. 10/28/95
• Spectrum: Lawrence (Amigoid) Brown's extremely powerful and angsty Superguy character. 12/24/95 (Original crappy GIF, I rescanned it in 2007.)
• Spectrum Pony!: Rule 85, baby. A pegasus pony with arcanikal horn and gauntlets. 7/17/13
• Airwave: Amigoid's WWII boy hero in black and white during his glory days on the left, and in color on the right as he is now. 1/4/96
• Kat the Muse: My Authorial Muse, a 6" tall winged Kopikat robot. Inks only version. 5/19/05.
