Science Fiction: Captain Bluebird #1 Comic Book Cover

I was trying to create an arch nemesis for Captain Bluebird with HeroMachine and Meta AI. The villain was interesting, but Meta decided to come up with a totally different version of Captain Bluebird. I think this makes the third version of him. While I like his wings, I find his jetpack an interesting addition (he originally had a white cape too, but I got rid of that). I decided to create a cover for Captain Bluebird #1.

Monster Monday: Marhtoo the Flame Fiend Action Figure

I created Marhtoo with HeroMachine this past Saturday night for the fun of it. He was originally intended to be just a generic monster for Moongem Comics. I kind of like how he turned out with the yellow fur patches on his feet to match his yellow goatee, teeth, eyes and ram horns (yes, his skin is orange).

Meta AI turned him into Marhtoo the Flame Fiend, which gives him a demon vibe.

Meta AI also gave him a little interesting bio on the back of his card. Not only was he born in the molten core of the Ember Rift but he now guards the Power Gems in the hidden Gem Caves.

What I also find interesting is that Meta AI created other figures in this toy series including Zorra the Star Witch, Kragg Rockgoblin, Nova Ninja and Captain Quasar. Sounds like a good lineup for a gold old fashioned Saturday morning cartoon series.

Toy Tuesday: Doc Spider Action Figure

Many moons ago, I created Doc Spider for Moongem Comics. I used HeroMachine to create his basic costume. Originally, he was going to be a masked pulp vigilante like the Executioner.

With a little help from Meta AI, I created this Doc Spider action figure:

Meta AI even created the packaging for the Doc Spider action figure:

Toy Tuesday: Sunbolt Action Figure

Sunbolt was created using HeroMachine and will be an interesting addition to Moongem Comics.

I decided to turn him into an action figure by using Meta AI and here are the results:

I really like the nickname he was given. The Solar Speedster has a pretty cool ring to it.

Science Fiction Saturday: Lonja from Jakbat

Many moons ago, I created Lonja with the help of HeroMachine. I really didn't do much with her other than put her on my Moongem website. I forgot about her and never did a background story for her. The alien woman was never intended to be a character for Moongem Comics but I might have to change that.

Yesterday, I was playing around with Grok and created two action figures. The first one looks more like a figurine while the second one is a retro action figure. I like the first one better of the two.

Toy Tuesday: Shadow Avenger Action Figure

Many moons ago, I created Shadow Avenger for Moongem Comics. My first attempt at drawing him was done by tracing a superhero figure from a coloring book. My second attempt was created by using the original HeroMachine (see photo #1 below). I recently created an action figure of Shadow Avenger thanks to Meta AI (see photo #2). Now if I had a 3D printer to make this action figure a reality.

The American Knight

I needed a break from writing stories today and played with two online character makers. I ended up making two versions of the American Knight:

The first American Knight made with Create Your Own Superhero found at MarvelKids.com (I can imagine this superhero being active in the 1970s):


The second American Knight was made with HeroMachine 2.5 at Ugo.com (I can see this superhero being active today):


The immediate differences between the two is the color palette and the detailed items. The color of the Marvel Kids superhero maker is more subdued and what you would find on the printed page. The color found at HeroMachine is much vibrant but they give you the option of playing with two colors per items (see the helmet, breastplate, the leggings and the sword for the effects of having two different colors for one item). The only armor that Marvel Kids had were for Iron Man while HeroMachine had a lot to choose from and they had more details. HeroMachine also had more miscellaneous items such as the American flag and the sheath for the sword.

Both are fun to play around with but my favorite has to be HeroMachine because of the wide variety of color and the amount of detailed items available.
