Description So a while ago I came up with a story idea called "SPECTRUM" that had to do with six people who had powers based off the spectrum of light: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, and Violet.

Note: I skipped indigo because 6 was a better group number and sometimes people just consider violet and indigo the same anyway.

The link for the original picture that started this all is here: [link]

Code Name: Mister Red
Real Name: Wesley L. Alcatraz
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Specialization: Tactical Assault Expert
Position: Leader of S.P.E.C.T.R.U.M
Powers: Radio and transmission rays, allowing him to communicate with this other teammates through radio signals and listen in on and intercept transmission air traffic. That massive gauntlet on his arm is like an amplifier. It concentrates his powers into red explosive lasers that emit from the tips of the fingers.
Weapons: He wields an extra-long katana as a close range weapon.
Info: He prefers hot and spicy foods and his temper has a one-inch long fuse. He's aggressive in everything, from reading (he rips the pages every time he turns them), to hitting on women (YOU. ME. SEX. NOW.). He constantly clashes with Mr. Green because of his mellow attitude. He's a bit of a pyro-maniac and owns 2 vintage WWII era flamethrowers.

I'm liking the new direction and coloring I'm taking this with and the other characters will be uploaded over the next week. Tell me what you think!

I never based my style off anything per-say, but I did enjoy reading Scott Pilgrim a LOT so when that happens influences are bound to work their way into an artist's work subliminally!

You know I don't fucking know...its frustrating the hell out of me and I might re-upload it soon. I don't know how they got there...the other ones didn't do that and they are all jpegs at the same resolution and size.


Strange.

Boneitis In reply to ToxicToothpick [2009-09-08 17:45:24 +0000 UTC]

It's because you uploaded it at it's original (and massive) size. If you upload it at an 800 or 1000 resolution it should be ok.

Oh man, I love this, the coloring the idea, the actual input from the colors of the spectrum, it's just SCRUMPTIOUS.

I also really enjoy the idea that he has to have his awesome gauntlet to shoot lasers and that he can't just randomly laser vomit.

He looks awesome and he isn't too perfect, as some characters can be, and just AUGH I love it.

Ahhohohoho, at the reading bit.

I'm glad you like him! People are really jumping on board with this idea and the support of Mr. Red is growing really fast. Its suprising really.

This guy oozes awesome! The gauntlet and katana is a nice touch, and his personality is intense and draws you in. The gauntlet is nicely detailed, but not enough to demand attention from everything else.

ToxicToothpick In reply to Magistelle [2009-08-28 20:31:03 +0000 UTC]

Thanks a lot! I inked most of him while on a train so when I got bored I started putting more and more details on his gauntlet and I was worried that it was staring to get a little bit overdone.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Magistelle In reply to ToxicToothpick [2009-08-28 21:16:41 +0000 UTC]

No prob, man. Sometimes, a lot of details in one place make the viewer look it over several times, and afterward, the whole thing. In layman's terms, a great appearance.

Pentland [2009-08-28 12:40:28 +0000 UTC]

I am digging this. So hard.
I especially like the gauntlet. Like, he's not automatically perfectly aimed super powerful lasers woo.
He needs help. Also it just looks badass.
Looking forward to the rest of 'em!

ToxicToothpick In reply to Pentland [2009-08-28 20:30:06 +0000 UTC]

I'm real glad that your digging this man. I also like the idea that he needs an amplifier to even have any offensive powers what-so-ever despite how naturally intense and violent-inclined he is.

Pentland In reply to ToxicToothpick [2009-08-28 20:44:11 +0000 UTC]

Definitely! It gives him that little extra bit of character-identity that people can use to relate to him :]

WAY COOL! I like his arm a lot.
I also like Mr. Yellow. (It might be because of the sideburns)

Purple, violet, indigo; they're all more or less the same. There's supposed to be 6 main colors anyway, secondary and primary and that jazz.

Yeah that's an old picture that your looking of with all of them, and I revised some of them too. Also I'm just better at drawing now too, lol.

I just said the indigo thing cause some people got on my case and said that I forgot one color.

Thanks a lot!
