My character "The Glyph" teleporting in whilst wielding his ancient Egyptian khopesh sword in epic colour styley! Way cool details and colours/fx on this. I really dig the pose too.

By The Amazing Spiderfreak818, a.k.a., Joey Vazquez! Oops! I just gave away his secret identity! My bad! But seriously, folks, here are a few more wicked cool drawings that he has done of my characters [link] , [link] , and [link] ! So, check out his killer gallery here [link] and then grab a wicked cool commission for yourself [link] !

And what we know about The Glyph thus far...

The Glyph was once fully human, but he was genetically altered into an Ankhgorian/human hybrid. After being genetically altered, he eventually lost his left claw/tentacle arm in an epic battle. He decided to get a cybernetic replacement that resembled a human arm, to honor his past, but he added an extendable metal coil tentacle to it, so it would semi-function like the lost Ankhgorian appendage he had become so accustomed to. And The Ankhgorians are an ancient alien race that have some similarities in both looks and abilities to The Glyph.

As far as The Glyph's abilities and powers go, besides the usage of his crab-like claw, and tentacles (1 octopus-like one, which comes out of the center of his open claw & is fully retractable, and 1 extendable metal coil one) [link] , The Glyph can shoot his cybernetic hand off like a missile and control it remotely [link] , shoot plasma from his cybernetic hand (from a glowing eye of Horus on his palm) [link] , teleport [link] , and jump very high. He is also trained in martial arts (his weapon of choice is a khopesh, an ancient Egyptian sword, as seen above), and acrobatics. He uses telepathy to communicate, and cannot speak otherwise. The Glyph fights in a skilled, efficient, and calm manner; and when not fighting, seems to see things with a childlike wonder through alien eyes. He also has a pretty good sense of humor. The Glyph has a black winged scarab hieroglyph on his upper back [link] , which is usually covered up by his cape, and has a spiked sleeve cuff on his claw arm [link] . And that's an ankh on his belt.

Hmm, I'm sensing an ancient Egyptian theme here...

As far as his design goes, The Glyph started out as a random quick doodle many moons ago [link] . I then tried a few different colour schemes, narrowed it down to green or purple, and, finally, decided purple looked best. I further refined his design by adding elements from Inspector Gadget (Go-Go-Gadget Arm! = [link] ), Jimbo the Mighty Lobster (claw = [link] ), Purple Tentacle (tentacle = [link] ) [I thought it was a cool variation on The Glyph's metallic extendo-arm that I had already included, to add a weird symmetry/asymmetry combo, and, also, tied into the tentacles on his head, that started out as just spikey hair], Great Mazinger (Rocket Punch! = [link] ), Iron Man (repulsor beam = [link] ), Nightcrawler (teleportation = [link] ), steampunk fashion (military uniform), ancient Egypt (hieroglyphs and khopesh sword), and punk fashion (spiked wrist cuff). Since he doesn't have a mouth or ears, I decided the only way he would be able to communicate would be some sort of telepathy. He doesn't have a nose either, which is neither here nor there.

Well, there you go.
