Calling All True Believers...

[manikus]

There's been quite a bit of banter here on Ironworks about doing something with Marvel superheroes in DC.
Now, there is a place to post art, discuss characters and work out details.
I'm uploading a bunch of graphics I have, even as this is being written, so come on over and join us if you'd like.

'Nuff said.

In honor of the new yahoo list, I re-did the Cyke and Logan icons to better reflect their respective heights.

That looks about right to me! Maybe I will go and make some more Marvel-related icons/pictures later on... (As an afterthought, of course.)

[manikus]

It would be nice to have some more icons. To say I'm unhappy with mine (not counting 3/4ths of the Fantastic Four) would be an understatement. I will probably re-do all of the ones I have, either b/c they're made from game captured graphics or they suck.

[Uatu]

Hmm - I do like your Mr. Fantastic (?) icon the best of them, I think.

Whenever I do get around to doing icons, I will most likely only do X-Men icons In addition, since I am an old fuddie, I will probably only do X-Men from around the time of the Siege Perilous (Wolverine, Psylocke, Rogue, Dazzler, Longshot, Havok, Colossus, Storm... and Jubilee?) and before (around the time of Dark Phoenix). Heck, maybe the old X-Factor and Excalibur team would be possible, too (and even the X-Babies - I LIKE the X-Babies ). I hate a lot of what has happened to the X-Men (and friends) since, so no new stuff for me!

But first things first (i.e. icons for my actual AD&D-based DC game ).

[manikus]

I'm with you on the X-Men. The older the better, as far as I'm concerned. My line-up of X-Men (which doesn't necessarily reflect any actual line-ups) would be Wolverine, Cyke, Jean, Colossus, Storm, Shadowcat, Nightcrawler and Beast. There would be special appearances by Bishop and maybe Cable. I will be working on the above icons, except maybe Jean, as your icon is great. I will mostly be concentrating on the bad guys to begin with, notably Magneto, Mystique, Juggernaut, Sabretooth and Toad. If I'm feeling really ambitious, I'll tackle the Sentinels.

But, like you, these are a lower priority for me than fantasy icons to be used in the Silver Blades story.

[Uatu]

Hmm - yes, I like your X-Men roster as well (Don't like Cable or Bishop much, though (around that time is when the X-Men started to "lose it," for me at least). I guess I will mostly do good guys (not a bit fan of most of the bad guys) (The only bad guy that I like is, of course, Dark Phoenix - maybe I will do a Phoenix Force version of her icons some time soon...)

[manikus]

I never read the comic book w/ Bishop or Cable, but I have a couple of graphic novels that I like.

A non-X-Man that I would love to see is Captain America. I was a big fan of him in the 70's and 80's. I always thought that he and Batman would make good foils for each other in the way that DC comics tried to do with Batman and Superman.

[SilentThief]

Ok, I could spout off about this for a while! How about the blob? the punisher? Omega Red? Spider-man? and some of spidey's enemies like Dr. Octopus, Venom, Kraven the hunter, ummm I could go on for a while on this...

I always liked Omega Red. I don't recall ever seeing him in a comic book, but only in the X-Men cartoon...I take that back, it turns out that I have a graphic novel on my shelf that has O.R.

I would love to see all of Alpha Flight. They were my favorites for a long time, and I still have a soft-spot for 'em.
