Zoiks!
Maybe when your done you can put them on cafe press items like mouse mats or mugs, or compiled in a book. Then people who liked their drawing could show their appreciation by making you a little cash. Could make it a bit more worthwhile cos you must be fed up looking at it by now.

Thats actually a good Idea I would love a t-shirt of my characters drawn by the awsome Doc!

i'm not giving up by any means! if your request was submitted in december then i will get around to drawing your pic! it just may take a little time...

as for selling the pics, i'd be very unwilling to do that - all the drawings are done by me as a gift to a fun community. should anyone wish for their pic to be used on a t-shirt, mousemat, whatever, please just send me a note to that effect with an email address, and i'll happily send the original artwork to you. any half decent high street print store will be able to put my illustrator files onto anything you want

Good work Dr Destiny. But seeing all these great portraits I am missing one thing.

I want to know more about who they are. Would be great if people could put a bio up there.

Iskra isn't her given name, she's not even Russian. Born and raised in Orange County in the shadow of Disney Corporation you wouldn't have expected her to turn out the way she did. Or maybe you would. Her true name is a secret but it is also fairly meaningless for she was nobody. Nobody special at least. Her father raised her by himself when he wasn't working security for which ever office needed him. She had the normal jealousy associated with the have nots, and she was never really excepted by the rich folk she knew. Her life changed during puberty in the most drastic of ways. Anyone that knows her now could tell you how, hell the sparks shooting from her eyes probably give you a clue. That's right she was a mutant. A freak. An outcast and a poor one at that. Keeping it a secret from her father was easy enough, but some how someone found out. Someone else that worked for the Corp her father was guarding. A crey agent. So she was captured, tested on, studied and then forgotten about. Turns out electrical emanation isn't all that rare these days. At least not in paragon city, the lab she spent the last 5 years in. She spent 5 years without contact with the outside world, save for television and an old book on the Russian Revolution. Now the combination of the two caused something to click. There was so much wrong in the world, so much inequality. Wasn't that exactly what Lenin was trying to prevent? For the first time she actually engaged her mind on the task of escaping, cause now she had a reason to escape. The reason? REVOLUTION!

That's just a bit from the first draft of her history, the second draft never got finished and ended up fairly messy and inconsistent. But I hope it helps

"Well, they found my diary today.
They were appropriately appalled
at the discovery of the eight victims
They're now putting it all together.
Women wrapped in silk
with one leg missing
Eight legs, one body, silk,
spider, brilliant!"

Officer Cuffz
While some people decides to use their powers to fight crime, others have already decided to fight crime even before receiving any powers. Officer Cuffz is such a woman. A ordinary Police officer patrolling the streets of Paragon city before the Rikti invasion.
"Cuffz" isnt her real name, but became a nickname due to a crayon drawing made by a 7 year old girl after Cuffz and her partner had taken her father, who had beaten up his wife and children while drunk, into custody. The drawing was of Cuffz sitting on top of the father handcuffing him and had the words "officer (hand)cuffs my father" written as to explain what was going on. But the girl had reversed the "S" in cuffs and as there was a large space between "cuffs" and "my" it read as "officer Cuffz" and "my father" the precinct immediately gave the slightly embarrased officer the callsign "Cuffz".

The policewoman later recieved her powers after a failed arrest that left her partner dead and herself hospitalized. A hero of Paragon city, who later was to die in the rikti invasion, surgically inserted small force field emitters to help stabilize and keep her shattered bones and organs in place while they healed.
But as the hero got killed in the invasion the small emitters were never removed. As the police officer was able to step out of bed, she discovered that she now was able to project a energy field able to absorb and deflect punches, knives, bullets and (in time) even more powerful attacks, but also that the energy field could be use offensively, increasing the power of her kicks and punches.

As soon as she could leave the hospital, she returned to her precinct. The Rikti had left a path of destruction in its wake, and it was time for some new heroes and heroines, to pick up where the old heroes had left off. "Cuffz" was to be one of them. Showing that to "serve and protect" is not just hollow words.
