Eric JohnsonParticipant
Now thats an awesome picture. What Game is it for and what are her stats?
Superhero?
Gothic punk?
Cinimatic action/pulp?
The character is from my long-running campaign which is uses White Wolf's Superhero RPG "Aberrant". (though I also use a lot of game mechanics from the companions games: Trinity with it's Sci-Fi elements, and Adventure! for it's pulp daredevil stuff) So: Superhero.
I'm at work right now, so I don't have Fuerza's full stats in front of me, but I can hit some highlights, for any geeks out there who actually know the Aberrant system.
(warning geeky RPG stuff ahead)
the defining thing about Fuerza is that she's just about the strongest pure muscle character in my version of the game world. Olga "ReisigeFrau" Svensen (see the thread in Giantess section) *can* be stronger, but only when she's full 180 feet tall. And a few "cosmically powered" characters are stronger if they fuel their energy into strength for a while.
Her base Mega-Strength is 5 (which is max for a character without Quantum score of 6+, i.e. pretty cosmic power like). However, the character, when she was first made superhuman, also took Density Increase, with an Aberration for Permament Power, and took the Extra: Extreme Density from the Aberrant Player's guide, which allowed a Mega-Strength of 6.
since then, after years of play, I used the strength / weakness system from the Player's Guide to let her buy the Extreme Density Extra a 2nd time, allowing Mega-Strength up to 7 dots.
5 dots of Mega-Strength in Aberrant is base deadlift of 100 tons, so for Marvel people, that's roughly "Class 100" strength characters.
So, Fuerza is Mega-Strength 7, literally off the usual scale, in a world full of superheroes where the very strongest superhumans are usually capped out at Mega-Strength 5. Which is why she sweeps all the gold medals in the strength events at the Nova Olympics every 4 years.
Fuerza is pretty straight-forward character after that. Mega-Strength 7, Mega-Stamina 5, Mega-Appearance 1 (to look impressive). Just about all the Enhancements for Mega-Strength, most for Mega-Stamina. Powers include: Armor (tough skin), Density Increase, Invulnerability vs. Strength Drains, extra Health Levels. Flaws include Obsession (physical strength) and Costume Fetish (clothes that show off physique).
If anyone is really interested, I can post her character sheet somewhere or email it, after I get home and have access to it.

Eric JohnsonParticipantwell, some of you might have already seen this pic over at http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/artofaberrantcampaign/
but I suspect that the crowd at this message board will especially like this pic of the latina powerhouse Fuerza from my RPG campaign, as wonderfully rendered by Jean Sinclair.
Jean pulled off one of my favorite commissions ever.
check out the yahoo group for more pics of Fuerza by Tom Burgos
Eric JohnsonParticipantThere should be more 50ft woman fan-art! as a charicter She ROCKS!
and one more 50-foot-woman-movie-poster tribute pic I own. Another one from Joe Gravel.

The 50 foot woman pose is a classic, and here's another commission I got in tribute to the movie poster.

tributes to the 50 Foot Woman, you say….
back in 2003, I commissioned this from Chris Morrison, which he posted on his site
Eric JohnsonParticipantIt's good when Taint results in something as cool as weirdly colored hair. 😉
Now if it was a horrible affliction of quantum bleed in the Trinity era I'd certainly expect it to have metallic properties of a more horrific sort.
Also it's nice to see Abberent getting some love. Was a great attempt at "Kingdom Come" the RPG and an awesome look at a setting grappling with the consequences of star struck demigods.
Hiya Cowprobe. good to see another person who knows their Aberrant stuff. 🙂
I've been running this particular Aberrant campaign since shortly after the game came out. That was what, 1999?
As you might imagine, the characters are crazy powerful now. So the theme of "demigods walking the earth" is well developed by now, and then some.You noted the metallic platinum hair is one of Olga's aberrations. Her other aberration is overactive pheromone production. She got both her aberrations about the time she was getting her first dots of Mega-Appearance,so she got prettier and sexier, but in a very exotic and superhuman way. 🙂
I could babble on and on about this stuff forever, so I'll cut myself off now…
-Eric
Eric JohnsonParticipantThanks for the compliments.
Eric, I'll see what I can do about the hair color. I think there is a little more of a platinum blonde color available. Also, I will try to see about a suit that is a little more consistent, but I don't know how to modify clothing to resemble what Olga typically wears, so I won't be able to get it exactly right.
Don't worry about the outfit too much. Yeah, when she's in the public eye, Olga is careful about not wearing too revealing clothing. But she certainly would wear that outfit at home, or when hanging out with friends.
The hair could be really tough to get "just right". It's supposed to actually have a high metal content, a by product of her superhuman metabolism. I really don't expect Poser to have an easy option for "superhuman with metal hair". 🙂

Eric JohnsonParticipantBeautiful pics, Scott.
neat to see the pics on the yahoo groups inspiring someone else.
love the perspective on the POV
yeah, you are right, Olga doesn't really wear glasses (that whole nova transformation into near physical perfection thing that happens in the Aberrant universe), so the second pic is more in keeping with being "on-model".
it's very different and very neat to see the more "realistic" interpretation through poser.
Olga wouldn't normally wear that outfit in public, but definitely could see her dressed that way off-duty.
The only thing I might see (and this isn't a criticism), would be maybe having her hair more of the metallic silvery that it is. But I could certainly see this hair color as more real-worldish interpretation of her platinum-laced hair.
Thanks very much for sharing, Scott! I like it, and I'll have to see what my players think at the game tonight.

Eric JohnsonParticipantShe's here, courtesy of Bald Guy Studios. The artist goes to a lot of conventions, so check out his travel schedule on the site if you want to commission a sketch.
Took your advice on that Lingster when I was at Wizard World Chicago two weekends ago. Got him to do a convention pic of the most often drawn character of my RPG campaign.
He drew Olga both less busty and less buff than most artists have, but it's a good pic nonetheless.
