Princess Leia in Marvel's Star Wars #106

 

On a mission to the planet Zeltros to seek military aid from the planet's leaders, a party held in honor of the arrival of the Rebel Alliance leaders is interrupted by the Nagai and the Tofs. Separated from Luke, Han, Lando, and Chewie, Leia is captured as the Nagai take the palace and it's party-goers hostage. Eventually managing to escape, Leia picks up a blaster and kicks off her one remaining high-heel (having lost the other during her capture), sneaking through the palace armed and barefoot in her reflective golden dress. 

In the mid-1980s, Marvel Comics had done some "photograph covers" on a few of their books. Inspired by these low-budget (but charming) images, I gave Carrie Fisher the blaster and golden dress which Leia wore in Star Wars #106 (1986) and put her in a background inspired by the actual cover of said issue.

Amy Pond: Cyberwoman

Image
  The Daleks had put up a good fight, but they were no match for the overwhelming number of Cybermen. With the battle won, the metal monsters gathered the remaining crew and passengers of the space cruiser, moving them aboard their command ship and directly into the cyber-conversion chamber. Among the prisoners was space-adventurer Amy Pond, who had received the space cruiser's SOS and came to aid in any way she could. Over the hundreds of years of their existence, the Cybermen had been working on improving their nanomachine technology. It was a faster method for conversion, especially useful for converting such a large number of humans in a short amount of time, and Amy was about to get a first-hand demonstration. The microscopic computers crawled along her pale skin, eating away at the black suit protecting her. She writhes in pain as they graft onto her flesh, but briefly stops as she's caught off guard by the feeling of a large helmet sliding on top of her head....

Invasion of The Yolkians: Hill Valley Drones

Image
  It was shortly after the opening of the Institute of Future Technology that the organization launched one of it's first major achievements. Inspired by the Pioneer probes of the early 1970s, Doctor Emmett L. Brown and the institute's Intergalactic Innovations division created a highly advanced satellite broadcasting a message of peace and goodwill for anyone in the depths of space who might hear it's signals. Little did they know they'd receive a response so soon. The Yolkians began their siege at the satellite's place of origin, abducting many of the facility's staff and volunteers, Clara Clayton Brown being among them. From her, the aliens learned that the Institute had access to machines capable of traveling through time, something which piqued the interest of the invaders. In just a few hours, the female population of Hill Valley had been successfully captured. With a new batch of drones now under their control, the Yolkians had no trouble pl...

Peggy Carter: Hydra Queen Poster

Image
  Inspired by symbiotestory's Hydra Peggy Cater story (which was inspired by my own Peggy Carter: Host of The Hydra image), I put together this pin-up influenced by 1940s movie posters and the Agent Carter television show. (Above): Just a girl and her alien octopus suit kicking back after a hard day of taking over the world. (Above): An alternate "mid-transformation" design modeled after the Host of The Hydra image.
