And last, but not least - Terra Incognita

She probably won't be a member right away in the comic, but I'll be adding her in at some point early on. She's a mutant with mexican and indian hertiage, adding a bit of an ethnic variation to the team.

Your typical archtypical powerhouse super-heroine. Still fleshing out her background.

Nighty-Night

Introducing my first of 4 new characters for the Teenyboppers.....Nighty-Night!

I havent' fully fleshed out her powers yet, but I have a general idea. I like how she's turned out, similiar to how I felt when I designed Sunshine. I find the character's name to be very important during the design process (so that's probably why Bulwark and Captain Dynamite didn't work for me while I was designing them for the CBRunway contest they were submitted for).

Gone villainin'......

Well, I haven't gotten much done for drawing so far this month, partly due to home renovations and partly due to playing City of Heroes/Villains (mainly playing my fire-based villain, the Burn Unit). I'm now seeing the dangers of video game addiction, especially when I'm wanting to get myself back into drawing on a consistent basis. Since CoH/CoV is a MMORG, I tend to subscribe for a month and then take a month or two off because of this. My latest subscription just ended yesterday, so that'll free me up a lot more.

I'm now putting some serious thought into doing a webcomic. I haven't quite decided on which of my plethora of ideas I'll use. I'm leaning a lot towards my Teenyboppers concept at the moment, though I'm gonna switch out a couple of the characters and just keep Sunshine for the final line-up. I see a lot of fun potential in the characters. As a father of 2 very cute little girls, I've been noticing a lack of good comic material for girls of all ages. So I'm feeling a comic like this would be a good way to cater to that demographic (and hopefully as well to non-little girls :) ). I'll be working on designing the 2 (or 3) replacement characters for the team this week and get them posted up as I go along. Then I'll see how I can get their story started after that.

Since I've got no new drawings to post, I'll just post a couple of images of my lovely wife and two girls.
