Now how did I not see this thread before? Your stuff is awesome! I love the redesigns, and the Timberwolf pic was particularly gratifying. 'D love to see more.

Brilliant. I especially like the designs for Rush (speedster obsession, what?) and Wildstar. They're very dynamic. And I love the alien looks. Really fun!

Believe it or not, Wildstar is one of my oldest characters. Created way back in the dim, dark days of high school. I delved into our high school creations in this Artistic License column.
I've always liked the Wildstar look and dip back into that well from time to time, for costume elements. A few months ago, I even revived some of our old characters for my "ongoing" (been on hold for a few months now, but I'll be back) online blog series, HeroBlog. I also plan to use them in Ad Astra, when I get it going. I will be posting my comic on WebComicsNation and I'll announce it here and in my monthly column. Thanks for all the kind words! Joe

And this, folks, is what all those characters were designed for... Ad Astra! I put up a placeholder strip until I can get some strips done. I plan to update on Mondays and Fridays, more often if possible and maybe more than one page at a go, who knows...
I'm really feeling the fun, right now, and I want to get something done while it lasts.
If you're thinking of doing a web comic, I think you should take a look at WebComicsNation. It's an easy to use setup and it costs nothing to run as many strips as you want. They even have a setting so your site can host fan art!
Oh, and on a separate note, I'm still working on those Imperial Guard pics, I decided to use them for my next Artistic License column, so I'll post them there, first. It goes up on the 1st of Nov.
I think its a crime that Kara didn't get her shot at the Legion cartoon. It was a great idea and it made sense that she'd feel more at home in the 31st Cent than in ours.
Anyway....I'd be happy if they brought in Andromeda, just to give us a Supergirl in the Legion, but I'd rather have Kara.
Here's my interpretation of both, sorta animated style...
Kara's eyes came out a little weird, I'll have to watch out for that. Joe

Hey, I hadn't seen the latest characters! Very beautiful both as designs and paintings. I love their sleek futuristic look, especially Mega and Ragnar. Ad Astra looks like my kind of comic.

I'm glad you said that...I'm working on getting the comic up, but I've got the place all fixed up for it, now.
One of the things that sold me on WebComicsNation is that you have a spot to post bios of the characters, here: Character Bios
I haven't posted all the characters up there, yet. Mostly just those I'll need for the first story arc. Actually, the real first story arc is a bit of a history lesson, then I launch into the first Ad Astra story.
Take a look, I'll have more up soon. Also, I posted a promo "cover" on the Collector Times, this month. Ad Astra promo...

I saw the site yesterday and read the characters' bios as well as some entris in your blog. I like it very much - it IS my kind of comic - I hope it will be online soon.
The Imperial Guard pics are great and they *do* seem read to jump into the Legion cartoon!

Aurora has the power to control light. She can produce impressive light shows, or create a a whiteout that blinds anyone using the visible spectrum. Her costume changes colors, so it'll never look quite the same, twice.
She hails from Nelvanna, where everyone has some kind of power in the electromagnetic range.
This is Electra, no, she's not in love with her daddy, she just moves electrons around to produce electrical effects.
And this is Polara, Electra's cousin. Her power is also to manipulate electrons, only she produces and shapes magnetic fields.
Electra and Polara are also from Nelvanna.
Another new character is Lustre, she's from Erisia and she's not human, though her people are very similar. She has the power to induce hallucinations in anything with a working cerebral cortex.
It's funny, I find myself creating more girls than boys. Guess I'm having more fun drawing them.
So, the launch of Ad Astra is scheduled for tomorrow, probably when I get home from work in the morning.
