Amalgam superheroes.

                          These were inspired by the mid-90's collaboration between DC comics and
                        Marvel,when they created a mini-series of comic titles which featured heroes
                                             combining elements of their trademark heroes.

I loved my JLAvengers character so much,I decided to

this Ambush Bug/Forbush Man mash-up.

"let there be reign!!!"

Here,I started with the established Amalgam hero Super Soldier (Superman/Captain 

America),and built upon the Superman storyline Reign Of The Supermen...in which,following the Man Of Steel's "death",four heroes emerged,three of which claimed to be a resurrected 

Superman.

Here,I've combined them with four Marvel heroes affiliated with Captain America,and included 

visual references to Super Soldier...they are Survivor (Last Son Of Krypton/Nomad),

and Cyberagent (Cyborg Superman/U.S. Agent).

and Black Scarab (Silver Scarab/Black Widow).

More sexy superheroines.

                   I do a lot of these,apparently,so I thought a second gallery was in order.

                                              

" 'black' canary"

The horror of being found out that one isn't a real blonde.

"the psycho and the schizo"

"barebacked diana"

A spur-of-the-moment piece...I found this cover and the 'net and 

altered it...no,it wasn't originally torn that low,and her butt 

wasn't that full.

"wonder woman no more"

A parody of an iconic image from a Spiderman comic. 

"alleged global threat"

"new sensation"

"hank henshaw's a perv".

"beware the empress of evil!"

"the superior babs"

hairstyle changed and bikini made smaller.

"Munching On Desserts Or Kidnapping"

I felt you deserved to see this one full-sized!

"when supervillainesses run wild"

"cheetahs do prosper"

"pretty little mary 2"

Another interpretation of the Hannibal Lector-esque Dr. Sivana from an 

alternate universe,who apparently has an unhealthy obsession with 

Mary Marvel...and what he might do if he actually had her in his clutches.

"quien sabia que habia rubias en mexico"

That roughly translates as who knew there were blondes in Mexico; a tribute to 

artist Jose Luis Gonzalez Duran,the man behind the original...as in not merely 

reprints of American comics with translations...Spiderman comics of the late 

60's...and his desire to depict Gwen Stacy,with illustrations that favored her butt.

Oh...and she's saying,"Help me! These evil men think I'm carrying important 

documents in my pants!"

More Black and White.

                                           Further proof that color isn't everything.

"laura marano nude"

The former Disney Channel actress,au naturel.

"hardrock,coco and joe"

If you live outside the Chicago area,you may not be familiar with this 

trio of elves,helpers to Santa Claus,who are the subject of a seasonal 

stop-motion short that was first shown on WGN-TV in the 1950s,and 

have become a holiday institution since.

Trivia:the short was created by artist Wah Ming Chang,who also created 

the original Star Trek communicators,the headdress Elizabeth Taylor wore 

in Cleopatra and the titular prop of George Pal's The Time Machine.

"break on through"

Something I created with its posting on DeviantArt in mind,

hence the pale green "wall".

"the balance of death"

Once again,the pale green backdrop,for the same reason.

"nanny the nudits"

Yes,the misspelling was intentional...it helps if you're familiar with 

the mazagine our wardrobe-challenged reporter appeared in.

"room for improvement"

"because Poe wrote on both"

As much as I would like to take credit for such a clever answer to 

this iconic supposedly-unanswerable riddle,I must acknowledge 

puzzle expert Sam Lloyd as the author.

"out of his comfort zone"

"seven dogs have died"

"I dreamed nobody noticed"

"crash dive"

"contemplating the gobstopper"

"the astronette's new suit"

"beyond sickness and health"

"you can't stop progress"

"face the wheel"

"messy harvest"

Screensavers---New.

Artwork designed as screensavers,sized to fit the larger screens of modern computers.

"audiences do"

"on with the show"

"rehind ruh reen rohr"

"they left out one small detail"

"coffee-flavored popcorn"

A visual tribute to a subgenre of television that faded away with the 

rise of cable...the locally-broadcast late, late movie.

And yes, the error involving Bela Lugosi's first name was intentional; this is before 

Harry and Michael Medved made Plan 9 a beloved cult film.
