Credit Where Credit is Due

I am a writer.

There are a lot of people that have helped bring my first Comic Book Hero to life. Turbulence. The idea for this hero has been in my head for over 15 years, but it is only recently that several artists here on Deviant Art have brought him to life. And to my surprise he seems to quickly becoming a favorite of a lot of people. I've often stated that a hero is actually defined by his weakness. And to this fact I want to thank John Akins a ton. In getting involved with X-Comikz we have had some redesign on my hero. When I had first designed him he was a universal hero on par with Silver Surfer, Spawn, the Spectre, the Living Tribunal, characters of that level of power. In sitting down and really defining him I've learned a ton, about myself and the way I design characters. In his redesign Turbulence has been completely rebuilt from the ground up. His powers are now just his defensive ones; Healing Factor & Psionic Dampening. His offensive abilities are now equipment based around the effects of weather. I actually like this idea, because take away 'those wonderful toys' and he only has his brains to get him out of trouble. And honestly I think that's cool.

I have some other Characters hopefully we will see with X-Comikz soon including Phade and Preacher. With any luck everyone will soon get a look at these hero and villains soon ;)

But What I really gathered you all here for is to pay tribute to the artists which have brought my hero, Turbulence, to life for you.

Almost all these artists are up for commissions of one type or another if you are looking for there type of style. I personally can't thank all of them enough. It's because of them you have all come to know and love this character. Please visit them all. Let them know what you think of there incredible art.

And to those of you who have done one of these for me, whether free or commissioned, Thank you. To any and all who wish to take a stab at my characters, please feel free. There is almost nothing as wonderful to a writer as seeing his characters brought to life.
