Well thought, tehta! It would be a great match for Onni but... I'd have to find a way to make Night Owl keep being itself without its mask, otherwise how would we recognize Onni? I'll have to think about it...

Maybe an over shadow of his luonto.

Tuuri (Captain Marval?  I also thought she'd be an excellent female Xavier)

Lalli (Storm...I know I am pushing it here)

would love to hear suggestions for [...] Tuuri
... Tuuri and Kisu combine into Jack?

I vote for Lalli as Dr Strange (meaningful looks and swirling cape? yes please) and Tuuri as Rogue (little white hair pouf, gloves and bomber jacket)

Thanks dmeck, JoB and wave!

Now I'm divided between cap Marvel and Rogue for Tuuri :)

As for  Jack, it's an interesting proposal, JoB. After seeing him I recalled the character from a long time ago...

Meanwhile I'm working on Reynir for today (hopefully) and had (what I believe is) a great idea for Lalli, so now I still have to match Tuuri (as mentioned above), Onni (possibly nightowl, or someone else...) and Kisu (some sort of anthrophomorfic cat? Or a superpowered big feline?).

Suggestions are welcome! :)

I had trouble with this week's prompt.  (Maybe because I need to grow more ;) )

Spoiler: show

Onni woke early in the morning and looked lovingly at the person still sleeping next to him.

He thought of all of the things in his past and this person is still the highlight.  Being with him through all of his emotional lows and highs.

He was loved and he now can love back.

He thanks the gods they graced him with such a gift and snuggled closer and closed his eyes..smiling


Spoiler: show
I left it ambiguous, I was thinking Onni's wife, but a lot of people prefer Reynir.  So pick your person.  just know they love Onni to the moon and back  <3 <3 <3 <3 :onni:

Everyone needs, my friend. ;)
I like this short piece, and your ability to keep it ambiguous.
(I have nothing against Onni+Reynir, and I love Jitter's stories with them. They have the obvious advantage of being both alive, but in my head I still see Reynir and Tuuri as a great match...)

Thanks.  I like Jitters stories also.  Plus a few of the others that are out there.  I have done Onni and Reynir also, but lean toward a wife for Onni.  I like Reynir and Tuuri, but alas…

Hi! Sorry for the delay, but as usual the weekend was quite demanding in family time, so...

And this one was hard to finish, too, but I think it came out really nice. But you tell me.



Sorry, Wave! I like your suggestion but Reynir/Doctor Strange was already in the making. I couldn't resist when I realized that, beyond the magic association, Strange uses the same gesture for magic as Reynir uses for "sheep" in his game of Rock-Paper-Scissors-Sheep-Gun with Sigrun... :D

As you can see here (page 233, adv.2):


And here Doctor Strange's great original art.

The "ghost sheep" came from a pic someone shared on FB... And Reynir face and braid came from different dream sequences in the beginning of Adv. 1

Now to Lalli! I think it will be a good one, and hopefully will take less work to do. Still open to suggestions for Tuuri (besides Cap. Marvel and Rogue) and Kisu.

EDIT: I made a small correction and, since I was editing the image... :) ...added a variant with Strange's signature goatee and some touches of white hair on his temples...



(a slightly older Reynir... I wonder what Onni would think ;)  )

Given that his opinion on non-Finnish mages/magic is suitably broad-stroked, I'd guess "Baaaa humbug!" ;D

So our friend Lalli also found a new job as a Scout!

And the job benefits included leveling up... ;)




Luckly Emil in his new Phoenix form can also travel through space... ;)

The original Silver Surfer art is here.

So we still have Tuuri, Onni and Kisu to level up... We have two options for Tuuri, so far: Captain Marvel and Rogue (from the X-Men), and I'm not sure which is the best.
There's also the Night Owl (Watchmen) for Onni, but that has the mask problem... So, any suggestions will (as always) be welcomed!

Grey, I love these! Reynir Strange is probably my favorite, with or without the small beard. Although I don’t think he would keep such a neat and tiny face fur, if it wasn’t for the example set by his mentor Dr Strange.

Which leads me to suggest prompt for this week: beard / braid. Any takers?
