February-March Crossover Theme!

As you may have heard over at Project Rooftop, we are participating in a giant crossover with Whitechapel, PR and Superhero of the Month for February up until March!

The character of choice is Aquaman and the theme that Superhero Coco will be using for this challenge will be to design Aquaman in the combination of a different culture and different time. For example, you could end up with Nazi Aquaman, African tribal Aquaman, American pride Aquaman, Mesoamerican Aquaman, etc...be creative, have fun, and you have plenty of time to submit!


Submissions will be due by March 1st, 2011~ so submit soon! Mail your images to 23spades@gmail.com!

I chose Clint and Anne because I thought they would've been able to pull it off. This would've been late '50s because of how popular science fiction films were around those times.



Warren Newsom
Empire Studios presents the most ridiculously fantastic movie of 1948, Vincent Minelli’s “Breakfast with Mephisto.” It’s the tale of a handsome, young costumed vigilante (as played by the most athletic actor of his era – Gene Kelly) and his beautiful wife (the breathtaking Rita Hayworth), and the terrible deal they get from – er… the terrible deal they make with the Devil (as embodied by the unimaginable Joe Quesada).



You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll wonder the hell why!

What would the poster for the movie have looked like? Submissions will be due Mon. 1/17/11 Have fun with this one and have a great New Years!

Machines and Monsters

No this isn't a new entry, its the blog of comrade and fellow SHCC contributor Alex Barton. He has a pretty awesome idea going, so everyone should go check it out at: http://machinesandmonsters.blogspot.com/

SHCC Break

Just letting everyone know we are still alive! The core group of SHCC contributors/creators are students, so finals week is upon us and making us severely bogged down with work. As soon as this week is over we'll be finalizing the theme and subject for the final post of the month of December! See you then!

Scarlet Witch in Literature

I was sad to see the lack of submissions this round--but still liking the results! If anyone would like to have more suggestions for who to do next/themes to do, please post them in the comments!


Joel Priddy's Scarlet Witch:



Juan Antonio Rodrÿffffedguez Armas' Scarlet Witch:

Urganda la Desconocida (Urganda the Unknown or Unrecognized) a character of Amadis of Gaul, the most important Spanish chivalric romance. She is a sorceress with magical powers and a talent for prophecy who favour knight errant Amadis de Gaula Also is appeared in Don Quixote as secondary character.

She was a witch and her name sound like the name of Scarlett Witch, (I know it´s a terrible joke)


Whitney Hubbard's Scarlet Witch:

I went with Medea as my literary inspiration. I picked the character Medea because both she and the Scarlet Witch had these really tragic stories involving their children being killed. Medea actually killed her own children as revenge against her husband Jason, and depending on the verison of the story you read, she may or may not have fed them to Jason too. Which is disgusting.


Alex Getts' Scarlet Witch:

The first thing I thought of when I read the "literature" theme was Breakfast at Tiffany's. Of course, I think the film is more well-known than the novella, so I used Audrey Hepburn as my template when redesigning the Scarlet Witch as a Holly Golightly-esque figure, switching the trademark black for the Witch's signature color.


The next hero and theme will be announced sometime tomorrow or Tuesday, December 6th or 7th. We will still be accepting Scarlet Witches whenever you are finished with them, so send them to 23spades@gmail.com whenever possible, and don't forget to post suggestions in the comments!

The next hero is...

Scarlet Witch

The theme for this round is Literature. The challenge is to place her in a book--what would she be like in Harry Potter? Lord of the Rings? Ok...those are really lame generic examples, but I'm having trouble thinking of any on the spot here. But you get the idea! Be creative!


We're giving three weeks this time, so she is due by 12/5/10 so make sure to get them into 23spades@gmail.com before the fifth!
