SweetThang inspired Thornster

A while agon SweetThang was working on some Animated style super heroes. (in this thread actually)

In there he mentions that he had based those on templates from a DC site. Anyway I looked it up and found it interesting and instead of asking / begging to get mine done by him I gave it a crack myself.

So here is Thornster done by me.

You can see my main reference and other Thornster screenshots in these links.

Ok just because I have been around these boards long enough to anticipate the first reaction, I will let you know that this took me like ... 8 hours, so no I'm not taking requests. This was just an exercise for fun.

(I used Corel Draw and did it all with vectors, same for the shadows then brought both shadow and image on two seperate layer in Corel Paint to multiply and set tranparency)

If you are like me you like to see the process.

Now I know why my toon doesn't get picked first when someone gets inspired to draw.

Hmmm .. no comments at all?

I would have liked a ... well something (I won't give you the answers ) ... some opinion on the piece or constructive criticism ... or a simple ... "good for you anyone can do that" ... all good.

Does it at least fit the style? or are there somethings you would have changed?

I could have added more of the dark shadows he has on his organic/stone skin but I thought that would be too much details for the style.

Anyway if you have a sec, a comment would be appreciated.

Nice, I like it too.



One thing tho'... It looks like he's missing a horn that should be showing a bit... He has 3 on the front, right?

Weird. I commented. No idea why it might get modsmacked. I did say it was "pretty [censored] cool," but it is.

Nope in that format he has 2 horns. His last 2 costumes have that mohawk of horns, but as you can see on the main reference I posted on the first post, he normaly has only 2 (when he isn't too mad)
