Palatinus' OverPower Forum

Well, I'm still slogging through that list (art selection/cleaning is such a chore for a lot of the stuff I've chosen to work with because the characters appeared in such a limited number of issues) you can find things distributed amongst threads here right now.

Anything 2099 related that I've gotten to a "presentable" point (which means viewable but not a final revision) is in Dok's 2099 thread. There's quite a bit done, all the characters for the set have been completed and the "legacy" characters who only get 2 specials all have one finished. I also did X-Men 2099's specials, and I'm not sure who else off the top of my head. I know I started work on Vulture 2099, only to find out that someone did a Vulture (which threw me for a loop, because realistically this one should have been templated the same as Punisher and Spider-Man in that case).

Anything AoA is over in Age of Apocalypse. I'm currently working alphabetically through characters selecting 5 specials for new-art treatment and flavor-fit to the AoA universe. I think each character will get 1 new special, except those who need a full set of 6 like Abyss. And of course, all that stuff has tons of revision work to be done. I'll need to double check that I've posted everything, as all the characters are done except a couple (morph springs to mind, because the original is both dead-on for art selection and perfectly done without my meddling) and I've finished Apocalypse, Cyclops, Gambit specials for sure.

My miscellaneous I haven't organized anywhere. I have a sweet Moon Knight that I've started specials for (it's like Batman, only with sweet specials like JA and that sort of thing) and some variant characters like The Spider that are floating around or unposted yet. I haven't gotten a lot of specials done yet, as they are actually more time consuming than characters on a per-card basis.

Lately I've been very busy just trying to deal with property-purchasing paperwork (alliterative!) and normal day-to-day humdrum, so I haven't gotten much done.

If you'd like, I suppose I can get an imgur or deviantart account and post the totality of my customs up there, then link to it.

Oh, for funzos, because people on the forums have been throwing out neat OP-related ideas, I did do these the other day:

I've been following both the 2099 thread and the AoA thread, so I've seen what you've posted so far.  I saw you refer to a Halloween Jack card, and was hoping you had more done.  I like seeing the new takes.  I'm pretty familiar with AoA, but still weak on 2099 knowledge.  Thanks for the updates!

For SJ: Gotta be a way to make that appliance into a weapon!
Technically, it turned out that Paul was NOT, in fact, the Kwisatz Haderach.  The Sisterhood only thought he was based on prophesies and the breeding program, but their view was limited by goals of their order.  Paul's son Leto II (really III) saw the truth and set the wheels in motion to develop the true Kwisatz Haderach, Duncan Idaho!  Dune OP ... that would be an entire project & then some in & of itself!

Love the Spider Jerusalem

That is actually really great motivation to get more done. I didn't think they were being followed, so I didn't feel pressure to get any new stuff done.

I'm going to dive back in to 2099 tonight, and see if I can't at least get some sweet specials done. It's particularly gratifying to encourage interest in 2099 for me, as it was always a favorite growing up. In spite of a LOT that was done wrong, there were a ton of really neat ideas in the 2099 line, and I think a lot of people have missed out because the only character Marvel deemed strong enough to keep re-visiting is Spider-Man 2099.

It's a world run by mega-corporations, where monetary privilege has literally given rise to private law for the rich. The heroes long since died out. Somehow another scientific accident gives birth to a Spider-Man, and from there the heroes re-emerge. I'll give him credit too: Warren Ellis did some great work on the titles, and did a masterful job of handling the killing of a Marvel world.

Anyway, I'm going to try and at least do Halloween Jack's Virtual Unreality Projector special tonight, so you can see it. I'll also hopefully knock out some specials for other characters.

Thanks for the interest and support. It's easy to get distracted by other responsibilities and let projects fall to the wayside.

I too have been following both: AOA & 2099. I love the work & take inspiration for my future plans in custom creations.

Don't mean to rush you or put on any pressure, Dok.  Justa curious.  Take your time.  Life comes first, OP is a hobby.
But yeah, I've been following keenly.  Cards I've seen posted have often got me interested in reading up on them, and where I'm not familiar with the 2099 stuff (beyond Spider Man & High Evolutionary), it really tweaked my interest.  The AoA stuff is good too, but like I said, I am familiar with that story arc, so its not as new to me.
Thanks again.
