Elven Mage

Well folks, after a very long delay and with the help of my great friend Red Bean from over at MCN, I now have one figure completed, Quick-fire The arm and head fins are made from postercard (couldn't find styrene sheets) covered with gold foil. I may end up redoing the fines with styrene sheet. Also, I know that the stud isn't the prettiest, but I had to work around the stud... I beginning to feel it will be much easier to remove the stud altogether... My apologizes for resurrecting such an old topic, just thought you all might like an update, even if it is 3 months past due...

Thank you, once my friend sends me the new script I will start on the next pages... Also expect the heroes costume to change in the comic, it will look like it does in post #3. In the meantime, heres another hero of mine. This guys name is Keen Marksman, I'm sure you don't need me to explain what his profession is ;) . Although I know you're wondering, "Where the heck are his arrows ?" Well my friends, I really didn't want to go with the quiver or duel-quiver on his back idea. So I came up with a nifty little idea about the arrows being attached to his belt (see those metal cartridges). He pulls one off, pushes a button and "BAM" instant arrow. Clever eh ? :'-)

Im affraid it only allows {jpg. bmp. and gif. files to be used} Here are a few characters I've been working on, the first is an updated version of the hero Red Falcon. The second and third character are others of mine from city of heroes, their names Patriot America and Quick-Fire. I haven't decided if either of them will make an appearance in the comic or not. The last character is a villian of mine from city of villians. Victorian Slasher, I went a completely different route with his costume compared to that of the game, but this is what I imagine he would look like. Also (you can't see it very well) but I gave him a Sword-Cane (one of those walking canes that have a sword concealed within), figured it would fit his "Slasher" name. I'm thinking his calling card will be to leave a Jack from a deck of cards (no particular suit) on all of his victoms... comic appearance ? Most definitely

This comic is inspired by a Hero I created in City of Heroes. It was made using adobe photoshop and a cool little program called Comic Book Creator Enjoy, Page 1 Page 2 Cover and Page three coming soon ! EDIT: I release there's a typo in the topic description, but its 5:15 in the morning and besides that it won't let me edit it. Curses !!! Oh well

Actually, those are official Megabloks parts. From the Wolverine minifig set, although the rest of the stuff in the set is junk. The Claws are as you said "great"

Whoa ! Page 3, this won't do. Guess it's time for an update. Well here are the three figs I am currently working on, Patriot America Quick-Fire Raging Wolf As you can see theres nothing really special about PA, but then again does a minifig really need to be special to be unique ? Quick-Fire on the other hand has been customized a little bit, by attaching gold foil fins to his underarms and head (excuse the poor lighting in the picture). Finally Raging Wolf has been customized by attaching fins to his head that look curiously enough like those of Wolverines. The fins still need to be smoothed out and then painted black, other then that. These figs are one step away from being complete. Let me know what you think. ~ Elven Mage

Excluding a tube full of my custom minifigs, this set is really all the LEGO I have with me at the moment. But if you're going to come over, can you bring some soda and chips ? :D ~ Joey

Today I happened to pick this set up at a yard sale for only $4.00 !! Yes thats right folks $4 bucks. After getting it home and putting it together I noticed there was only a handful of pieces missing (10 or so). So I think I got a darn good deal on this. Just thought I would share this with you all. Ok I'll crawl back to my hole now :P . ~ Joey

Seems this topic has died off a little, . Heres the next batch to try and bring some life back to the topic. From Left to Right: Keen Marksman, Mystic Fortune and Raging Wolf (Images = Links) Let me know what you think ~ Joey

After some careful thought. I've decided to remove the legs from the decals for now (until I can make them look better). Anyways, I've been pretty busy, allow me to present to you all Red Falcon and Patriot America. I think that Red Falcon came out better then Quick-Fire and then Patriot America came out better then both. What are your thoughts ? ~ Joey

So far I have come up with the following decal for my Quick-Fire minifig, but I've come to a problem, and I would like some advice on how to solve this situation. The way his fin will need to be designed, I've noticed that the stud on the top of his head would be in the way. The second picture is a drawing of the fin. I'm not sure if I should design the fin 'around' the stud, or completely remove the stud altogether. What are your thoughts ? ~ Joey

First of all, Thank you guys for the wonderful comments, they are greatly appreciated. Now then, although there are similarities between Quick-Fire and The Flash (after all thats who I modeled him after.) He has no resemblance to Captain Marvel. Infact to help clear up a few things, here's a reference picture of Quick-Fire from City of Heroes (an online pc game I play) When I am finished with the minifig version of him, he will have the gold fins on his arms and the yellow 'lightning' fin on his head. I think I will get started on the leg decals, for his gold boots right away. I hope to have the real fig finished by the end of the month I've also changed a few things around, from suggestions I got over at MCN. I think it looks better now. The Hordesman, To answer your question the muscle design is a combination of both.

Hello all, Just finished this characters design in photoshop and thought I would share him with you all. I call him Quick-Fire If its ok, I will update this post each time I add another figure. So as not to clutter the forum with my posts ;) . Comments, Suggestions and Constructive Criticism are always welcome. ~ Joey

I live in the US, but you guys are right. Of course I emailed the guy who has the set for $49.99, and I never got a reply (been a week now). LEGO shop@home has the set for $49.99, but they are back ordered until March 31.... I can't believe this, I figured it would be sold out when I had money... ~ Joey

Well, as the topic states, I'm desperately seeking this set, at a fairly reasonable price ($60 or less). If anyone has what I am looking for, please contact me via email at punx842003@galerescrolls.net Thanks. ~ Joey *viki*
