@DomDom:
Awesome job DomDom, Iceman was the first person that came to mind of amalgam with Kiani too when I was comparing the 2 ladies.

#12 Posted by Decept-O (6694 posts) - 1 year, 10 months ago - Show Bio

@DomDom: Wow. Really great, not to much incredibly swift, but I like that quite a bit. Awesome work!

@DomDom:
Aww ain't you sweet. I am stuck at work all day long while my boss takes the first not-boiling-hot day to go golfing, so who knows I may pull out a sketch or two of an idea.

@IcePrince_X:
That is awesome, even if its not finished.

#22 Posted by foldingstar (80 posts) - 1 year, 10 months ago - Show Bio

Selene Gallio and Grace :)
I tried to work in Selene's Necrosha costume aswell as the some of the aspects of Grace's costume as shown in the original post. :)

#23 Posted by Aiden Cross (14445 posts) - 1 year, 10 months ago - Show Bio

#25 Posted by Decept-O (6694 posts) - 1 year, 10 months ago - Show Bio

@IcePrince_X: Beautiful, nice pose thus far. Hoping you will finish this one up it is looking really good.

#26 Posted by IcePrince_X (4162 posts) - 1 year, 10 months ago - Show Bio

@EGoD
thanks! will re-do everything. I will include in my drawing not just Kiani-Ursala but my take on Grace amalgated to one particular X-Men villain.

@Foldingstar
I love Selene! The details of your work is great :-)

@Decept_O
Thanks!

@Aiden Cross
Though, I only have my Fathom comics to date, SoulFire and Lady Mechanika are on top of my list... I love Aspen Comics too.

@Domdom
Knowing that I am able to let others know about Aspen comics and letting them see it (or buy it) is the biggest contribution I can give to my idol, Micheal Turner's legacy and his company. Thanks Domdom for making this dream a reality. :-)

#27 Posted by DomDom (1013 posts) - 1 year, 10 months ago - Show Bio

@IcePrince_X:
It's an honor... =)
Thanks to you! =D

@IcePrince_X: i wasn't gonna enter this seeing as i know squat about aspen comics, but your pic inspired me. i don't know why it did the way it did, but here is my entry. my first foray into full color so its still a little rough.

#29 Posted by tonis (6202 posts) - 1 year, 10 months ago - Show Bio

@gunjin: well if that's your first foray into color it's a great start. Like the butterflyish way you applied it to the fins and the wispy little red is a nice touch. Also good work on the skin and giving the water that gradient depth. :)

#30 Posted by gunjin (715 posts) - 1 year, 10 months ago - Show Bio

@tonis: thank you sir. hope to see your entry soon enough.

#31 Posted by Decept-O (6694 posts) - 1 year, 10 months ago - Show Bio

@gunjin: I wanted to wait to comment on this so others could see you posted an entry. Now that it has received a comment I will add this as a reply: ORIGINAL! I like the colors but man, that is a completely different take I don't think anyone was expecting. Cool.

#32 Posted by Aiden Cross (14445 posts) - 1 year, 10 months ago - Show Bio

@IcePrince_X: Both are great reads in my opinion =) I enjoyed the crossover between Witchblade, Aspen, Lara Croft as well ^_^

#33 Posted by IcePrince_X (4162 posts) - 1 year, 10 months ago - Show Bio

@gunjin

Thats really unexpected but nice take on your Soulfire Grace with Dory. :-) You are able to blend it well.

@Aiden Cross
Those were the days. I am glad that Aspen still delivers one of the best and stunning read and art work around.

---------------------------------
Here is my final take on: Kiani and Ursala the Sea Witch from Disney's the Little Mermaid.
This is just for show and not as an entry.

#34 Posted by DomDom (1013 posts) - 1 year, 10 months ago - Show Bio

@IcePrince_X:
WoooooooooooW.....
That is breathtakingly beautiful Ice!
Like Whoa! =)
I'm in awe...

#35 Edited by sora_thekey (7851 posts) - 1 year, 10 months ago - Show Bio

Those wings look like they would be a lot of fun to draw...

@IcePrince_X: Gah! 0_0 That. Is. Awesome. (I now want to counter your drawing with an Ariel Amaglam!)

@gunjin: I wonder if she ever forgets she is holding that weapon and suddenly hurts herself. That is a great piece!

@Domdom, sorathe_key, Raven2007
Thanks, it was a long process but I really had fun drawing and inking her tentacles. The concept really inspired me.

thank you everyone. and sora - she's mad because she has no idea where she is.

@IcePrince_X: Wow, didn't think you would go with this at all, but I am not complaining you did. That is stunning work, very imaginative to say the least. Nice!

#40 Posted by IcePrince_X (4162 posts) - 1 year, 10 months ago - Show Bio

This is a running concept with me...
Again this is only for exhibit.

#41 Edited by Decept-O (6694 posts) - 1 year, 10 months ago - Show Bio

Here's what I am working on for this Amalgam. I am using Grace and amalgamating her with Dawn. This is the initial idea and sketch and may color this and add more detail. Maybe I will do a different version but my idea is to use Grace with Dawn.

#42 Posted by Aiden Cross (14445 posts) - 1 year, 10 months ago - Show Bio

@IcePrince_X: wow X-Man and Grace, that's the perfect amalgam!

#43 Posted by IcePrince_X (4162 posts) - 1 year, 10 months ago - Show Bio

@Decept_O
Gosh! You are so getting out there. I am loving these new pieces you are coming out with... needless to say the colors are awesome that is why I can't wait for this piece to get its turn. You seem inspired man! Keep it up!

@Aiden Cross
Thanks... I do like the effect of the two... sexy, sultry and deadly.

#44 Posted by Decept-O (6694 posts) - 1 year, 10 months ago - Show Bio

@IcePrince_X: Thank You very much. Yes, this one did inspire me and an excellent choice on your part. Sad part is I tried coloring this one and messed it up, so I don't know, maybe I can try again or do another version. I am blabbing but thanks and appreciate your comment very much.

@IcePrince_X:

thanks for the kind words.

#48 Edited by Decept-O (6694 posts) - 1 year, 10 months ago - Show Bio

@payno: Beautiful, nice pose kind of reminiscent of something but I can't place it off hand. Nice colors and great choice of characters. . @IcePrince_X: I have to re-do this one. Might try another version.

#49 Posted by Decept-O (6694 posts) - 1 year, 10 months ago - Show Bio

@payno: That's what it is, the pose is reminiscent of a Jungle Girl or Sheena. Not that I am complaining, mind you. It is indeed beautiful, and again, great choice. Beautiful and colorful.

@Decept-O: Thanks.
