Enter The Viper!


The Viper is another of my characters, something of a villain, a mercenary and assassin who is in possession of a piece of alien technology called the Viper Vest. It links into the nervous system and allows total physical metamorphosis, which means that the Viper could be anybody. Literally anybody, man, woman, child, priest, senator, police sergeant, Barbra Streisand. Anybody. That's what makes the Viper exciting to me - you could have a whole comic series and never actually know who the main character really is. And being a mercenary really opens up story possibilities too. Visually the viper vest presents quite a challenge, having the colours and visual texture of oil. I know I could pick something easier, but that's what it looks like in my head - that or beetle shell colours, but that was even harder to pull off! As usual, I don't expect to get around to developing this idea further, as much as I'd like to... so many ideas, so little time!

Mist Maiden!


This was an experiment, trying to do some kind of hair texture, which I actually think worked pretty well. I have no use for it beyond that, but every day is a school day! x
