I like it a lot. Did you have any other characters besides here planned down the pipeline?

Of our own design?
There were a couple potential ones that were a result of the story.

We never set out to design characters to make our mark, though. Characters are the product of necessity, not pride, in what we had planned out.

The moment you put it online, it's theirs to use.
After all, it's their characters. Your the one who needs permission to reprint or repurpose your own artwork featuring their characters.

That doesn't mean you can't make the art.
It just means you can't do anything with it for profit... sell copies, use it for t-shirt art, etc, etc.
Only Mattel can do that unless you have permission or a license to do otherwise.

The cat lady bust already got put on ice.
It can't be reproduced in quantity.

Does that mean ,if I should enter a tattoo convention and win a prize for my large MOTU tattoo!, that I would have done something thats not legal?
? Just wondering!

Please go back and read my posts. ;)
...Well, search for 'em. They're there... somewhere... I think.
We've covered this a lot in recent times.

Typically one can be called art,
two is not.
Plus you're travelling into a gray area regardless when you talk tattoos.

Wow, now that I know a little more about Illumina, she's suddenly not so mysterious. Ok, my interest in her has passed.

Just kidding.

Illumina!

Well, finally we know...Cat Lady/Nomad has a name, and I feel like I learned something totally NEW about Masters 200X today, and I appreciate Val & Emil letting us know this juicy tidbit. :hmgrin:
It's great to be a Masters fan and discover new secrets, oldskool (DVD's) & newskool (right here, right now). :ctegrin:
I shall mark this day in the Hall Of Wisdom.
Thanks guys, your the best! :tegrin:

Pretty cool... but of course this has me humming 'more more more'. So far everything about this mysterious character is intriguing. The art alone has been enough for us to drool over, now her powers, her name, her cat companion... can't wait for more. :hogrin:

Sweet. I like the name, hopefully we can see a picture of her using her powers sometime soon.

Totally digging the name Illumina, I had called her Mys-tery as she was a mysterious character :hmlol:

Mother of God!!! This news about our favorite mystery woman has me more excited about Masters of the Universe than I have been since I got the last issue of the comic. ILLUMINA, I love her!! Love the little bits we know now as much as I love imagining what stories were in the works with her. Thank you so much Val and Emiliano for making this fan's year!!! :skgrin:

That's how it works when you produce material for a licensed property.

I wonder when this changed since Marvel is still able to use the original characters they created for Micronauts and Rom, Spaceknight as long as they don't mention the licensed characters.

That's because Marvel went into that deal with that type of arrangement for character creation and ownership rights.

Kittrina

Kittrina is still my fav cat-girl, however, she's so awesome, she ROARS!

(Sorry just responding, internet was shut off - I hate comcast - going wireless as of today)

"When you need internet, and you need it fast; whether in you car or about, choose Clear Wire - it's everywhere you want to be, and no one else here cares what suites me! Yet not for not trying, comcast is dying! Choose Clear Wire!"

(Okay Val, my honey, you can delete this now, just off on a tangent - ;) )

LOL
Well, no worse than most of the tangents here, I suppose.

Instead of Katrina, you have Illumina with a cat... at least it's something, right? :tbgrin:

Ja, LOL, I suppose that she will do (really well, actually)......

However, Kittrina still remains supreme! ;)

Question about that: when you say "young" do you mean it as in when they were still rookies (and thus not quite as good as they are now), or as to say when they were in their prime (and thus a little better than they are now because they've lost a step as they've aged to where they are now)?

In their prime :skwink:

QUESTION...was she going to be related in anyway to any existing MOTU characters...if so, who? EVERYBODY LOOK, the answer that question is about to fly out of Emiliano and Val's mouths! :hmwink:

It's worth a shot.... :hmgrin:

I was curious of this myself but did not hold my breath!! So I decided to make my Jitsu a Gar native---->Blue/Gar Jitsu

To bad we cant see the Comic she was involved in.

If you mean if she's mother/sister/doughter/whatever of someone...
As we said many times, the answer is NO :skgrin:
