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.

T-shirt Thursday: Moongem Comics Logo T-shirts by Grok
Grok came up with two t-shirts with different designs featuring a Moongem Comics logo. I like the second one better.

Toy Tuesday: Captain Bluebird Galactic Quest Game
I asked Grok to create a board game based on Moongem Comics. The AI came up with a science fiction board game called Captain Bluebird Galactic Quest.
The miniature figures used in the game include Captain Bluebird, Shadow Avenger and Doctor Moongem (he's a mad scientist here instead of a superhero). You can tell the differences between the figures in the two pictures (I like the ones from the first picture).
Captain Bluebird Galactic Quest is an interesting board game but not exaxtly what I was exptecting.

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.

Women Wednesday: Solara the Solar Flame Trading Card
From the pages of Sunbolt #3 from Moongem Comics comes Solara the Solar Flame on her first trading card. Grok came up with this version and I have to say that she rocks the costume.

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:

Superhero Sunday: Sunbolt #1 Cover
The cover of Sunbolt #1 from Moongem Comics promoted the Sunbolt action figure that Meta AI created. This is an origin issue of the Solar Speedster. Naturally, he was a scientist until a solar flare gave him lightning speed and other powers.

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.

Goodnight Tim Curry
Wow, we lost another legend yesterday for Tim Curry, star of 'Rocky Horror PIcture Show' and 'Clue', dead at 80. Not only will I remember him as Dr. Frank-N-Furter but also as the Lord of Darkness in Legend and the original Pennywise in It.

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.

Science Fiction Saturday: Captain Bluebird and His Spaceship
Many moons ago, I created a character for Moongem Comics called Captain Bluebird. He was sort of a modern-day version of DC's Blackhawk. A few days ago, I decided to play around with the idea of making a future version of him with AI. Here are two pictures of Captain Bluebird and his spaceship:
