Why Yes, Yes You Can!

If you want to, but there's no gaurantee that I'll get it faster that way. Some days I can check in here frequently, others I can't.

Kent and Yk can u describe Nick Shakespeare and Bob...

I see Nick as a sort of cross between Kent of the 5YL era and Rond Vidar of the Reboot era: 20-something professional, but seems older because of responsibilities. Glasses, trim dark hair, generally clean-shaven (when he has stubble it's 5 a.m. shadow, working all night [or multiple days in a row], not 5 p.m. shadow).

Jaw/face shape closer to Reboot Rond than Giffen's Kent. Black hair.

Tends to dress snappy when in diplomat/bureaucrat mode, but more comfortable in the field (more like 5YL look).

okay this is the my first attempt at pagan lass i only colored her hair cause that was the only color i was given

can i get what bob is supposed to look like?

Sure.

Triple-G is actually rather tall and quite slim, 6 and 1/2 feet tall in his normal form (pro football player height) not what you'd expect out of a "powerhouse". He can grow to about a hundred feet tall and has learned to grow and shrink back to normal size very quickly as a combat technique - rather like Violet (or the Atom) has been shown to do sometimes but as a giant. I feel that can be very effective.

His face and build are like a young Johnny Depp (21 Jump Street not the Pirate movie look) and always effeminate. He'd rather spend time being "one of the girls" and loves shopping so feel free to experiment with fashion and shoes/boots/slippers. If you have a flair for "good girl art" then definitely apply it to Bob.
In a way he's part comic relief (people's reactions to him should be amazement or disbelief), part shock value (such a nice boy but not at all afraid to "dead lift" a starship or punch through a building) and part Colossal Boy (for dynamic visuals).
Green skin and hair with hazel eyes (green with flecks of gold) but his hair style is also adaptable according to whatever is the current style, usually short though. I currently see him this way in my mind's eye.

I did a new costume for him recently here since his old outfit flashed a lot of skin and seemed to make people very nervous. The uniform is relatively blaster proof (sheds energy weapon blasts) and is armored as protection from projectiles. It's very good but alas not perfect.

I hope that helps. Please feel free to ask for more if you need to.

my first pass at bob

Very cute. I like the cape detail and the added arrow on the boots and gloves are a nice touch.
"Officially" he's adopted the name The Macro-Man and the edging on the cape does seem to suggest a large M so it works out pretty well.

Don't be afraid to drop that cut out almost to the belly button, he's kind of a show off and he's always been a little jealous that he didn't think of Tyroc's costume first. And I'd prefer a sort of X-Men cuff to the boots.

I like his face, the look of self confident amusement fits him perfectly. He looks great!

i was thinking that he would be the kind of guy that had a few costumes...you know to change into depending on what kind of mission he's on

He's so much fun to write.

I gave some thought to another experiment too.

Text Adventures for our comic book heroes! Yeah - I know we already do that a lot but I thought it might be fun to post LMB things. Stuff not worth making a whole thread for, scenes, short collaborations, character bits and bios, whatever

..or if it doesn't get anybody else posting in it I'll just ramble along and see where it goes

Where is everybody?

How about some common plot points and elements that all three of us (or more) can use to write solo stories that dovetail into the meet-up for the climax of a story?

I'm still working on that multi-media approach but I have to learn how to use some of these java thingies.

I think we discussed PL being in captivity at the outset.

As I see it, an interrogation sequence by the bad guys could establish a few plot elements, and avoid reliance on exposition. We can show, rather than just tell.

Maybe she escapes thereafter, but finds her powers are gone/reduced, and she has to wonder if the *let* her escape.

From there, some sort of news coverage about PL or Ranger could let us segue into Bob and Nick. Maybe even follow a parallel sequence as they react/go about their own affairs, and get further mixed into the story as well.

Yeah, it's that parallel sequence thing I'm trying to work with.
You wanna draw that page you just outlined? My next blog post should put 3G in transit to the rescue mission. Another blog post in a few days sets up the rescue.
I'm not going to hurry it though. I could always add extras to flesh things out.
