Description With his time and work being into not only a hero of , a member of the city's super hero team the "Guardians", and overall trying to usher in a message and method of peaceful coexistence Plasmoid does need his breaks. When on his breaks he usually either takes care of his dog "Rex", reads any literature he can find, or take some time and travel outside the city to meditate. During his meditation he reflects on his teachings to keep his body firm and to keep his balance over the five elements harmoniously. This is not only an exercise to free his mind but a requirement for the great power.

I would like to tip my hat to for designing this incredible and amazing piece. The background elements, the glow effect, and the overall design of Plasmoid himself is jaw dropping to say in the least. He is a talented artist and I encourage those to find him and request his services when spots open.

Plasmoid is my character.

This is a very cool commission.    It also makes Plasmoid more cerebral.

Many thanks, the picture behind him is supposed to be the elements he has a mastery over and the meditation is what he has to do to keep his center.

it is just pleasing over all, especially with the contrast of stormy background, and solid, simple foreground.

Actually the background is supposed to represent the five elements he manipulates and needs manipulation to keep under control.

His birthmark? Yeah I kind of had the idea towards the later ideas of his human body.

He's a famous actor. I could go on and on about movies and stuff he's done, but I think you'd be better off doing a Google search or something.

No, it wasn't the compliment I was questioning. I really and truely appreciate every comment you give about my character. The questioning was towards "Looks like a character I would create".

Please be more specific next time. But seriously, check out practically all of my male characters on my Deviantart site... most of them are muscular, ripped, and I even have one pic of a character in martial arts pants.

I love to create characters who are capable warriors and some who are even spiritual, so when I saw "Inner Peace" it just reminded me of a character I might create.

SouthernNerd In reply to Charvale [2014-07-03 05:46:36 +0000 UTC]

Ah well good explanation for that. Plasmoid isn't body builder built, but he is defined because of his training with the elements of Earth. Controlling Earth requires the body to be sturdy, strong, and unmovable. Plasmoid is mostly a pacifist and generally doesn't like to fight, he only does when it becomes the only option. The loose pants are there because.....their comfy.

Will be specific next time and I could tell from your usual signatures and avatar picture that it might be the tail, but I guess I guessed wrong. Glad to have reminded you, and thanks for the favoring of this picture.

It's not a problem, and I'm sorry I snapped at you. I just get exhausted when I have to constantly explain everything... I get that too much from home already.

There are actually exercises that require the body to be practically stone hard for various martial arts forms. Kind of learned that when I studied up on martial arts for a project.
You have a wonderful skill, and I'll always enjoy everything you do just because you blow my mind with some of the detail work you put in your characters/stories.

Well I will admit that Plasmoid 1.0 just pointed and shot things; however, I revolutionized his elemental manipulation after watching Avatar the Last Airbender.

Honestly, it shows... although I didn't think you had used Avatar as a reference.
=6.o=
In truth, I thought you had used Chinese Taoist beliefs of the five elements: Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Metal.

SouthernNerd In reply to Charvale [2014-07-03 06:16:42 +0000 UTC]

Well just the basic sight of the moves helps me write in Plasmoid's fighting styles if it ever comes up, I don't exactly have Plasmoid as a martial arts prodigy but he does move the elements in a harmonious unity with his body's movements to make them more powerful and easier to control than just by using his mind to manipulate it. The elements are a bit of what I theorize about human drives. Fire= Passion, Water= Serenity, Wind= Free Spirit, Lightening= Decisiveness, and Earth= Will.

Ooooh! Very nice!

I especially loved how you linked the emotions and drives with the elements!
Those sound quite accurate in a harmonious manner.

The artist did a good job capturing that spirit. I like the glow harmonizing with the elements and from personal experience, meditation does actually work.
