    Have you had a nice rest?

    There was, way back in the mists of... 2007... a recurrent meme among several comics art blogs. Reclaiming characters from their owners, I guess it could be broadly described as... people were reimagining abused characters (chiefly Supergirl) as artistic call-and-response various places, chiefly LiveJournal. In the aftermath of that, I did a similar thing on old messageboard The Engine, called REMAKE/REMODEL. They were embraced as technical exercises, bits of fun, ways to get the brain moving. I think most people's favourite was the dear late Mike Wieringo's wondrous retro-aristo Buck Rogers...

    I thought it might be an interesting thing to bring back here. So, once a week, I'll call a character, and you art types here can post images of your reinterpretation of that character.

    NOTE: NO MORE PHOTO-MANIPULATION "art". I'll just delete them. People have been drenching recent threads with several pieces at a time that they've knocked out in photoshop in 2 minutes with no thought at all. I consider this to be taking the piss now.

    NEW RULE: no more than TWO submissions by any one person in any one REMAKE/REMODEL.

    The point is REinterpretation: remake/remodel.

    ---------

    From seventy years ago, some classical REMAKE/REMODEL action, this sort of thing always goes down well:

    Ace Egan found a crashed UFO in the year 1940. He decided to uses the ship's advanced technological wonders to combat criminals and Nazis as the customed aviator the Ace of Space.


    Ace himself looked a bit...well...



    ------------

    Your task, as ever, is to re-invent that into something a 21st Century audience could enjoy.

    I look forward to seeing what you come up with, but bear in mind this is an ART thread. No pen-portraits. This is ART ONLY. Posting just a bunch of text, or a scribble and a vast number of words, will get the thread closed and your account banned.

    You have one week. Go.

    @Paul Sizer. Well resolutions are made to be broken.
  5.  (7509.5)
    Yes, Paul. Do a drawing of Ace of Space running over Hitler with his UFO. Think of the troops, Paul!

    Glad to see this thread's back. And it starts promisingly...
  7.  (7509.7)
    I really hope I wasn't the only person to think of this:
    The Ace of Space! The Ace of Space!

    @ Paul, obviously you need to send him after criminals. Or perhaps Mussolini's Fascists, just for a change.

    @Oxbrow - or Imperial Japanese. Or Commies. or jihadis. Or teabaggers (or secret socialist muslim elitists).

    @Paul, Nazis never seem to get old and provide fertile territory. Why did you make the resolution? Maybe the answer there can crack open this mother for you & plenty others.

    Dang @Neil! Straight out the gate! Somehow there a loud, wonderful noise that goes with that image. Sweet. }:>

    @ Chris -- That's probably something you should discuss with your doctor.

    Ace of Space.

    Kind of goofy, but this is the first thing that popped into my brain. "How in the hell am I supposed to fight Nazis with these piece-of-shit anti-gravity boots?"

    @Annie, DAMN that is a hard act to follow.
  13.  (7509.13)
    @Annie, I always love your compositions.

    And all the rest of your work, also. But especially the compositions.
  14.  (7509.14)
    I'm not an artist so I can't make anything directly here but here's an idea for you that might help inspiration along:

    Ace of Space's found technologies needn't simply be the usual deathrays, hoverboots, jetpacks and whatnots but also: either a time machine; or a device which evolves the man to become enlightened enough to see through time and thus travel it.

    Meaning he could be the Ace of [Time and] Space...

    Hope it helps and I hope that this kind of thing is allowed.

    @Ariana&Warren, apologies if suggestions aren't allowed, I know that 'a bunch of text' isn't allowed but I imagined you meant within the art. I wasn't sure so thought I'd go with it. Obviously, feel free to wipe this post from the face of Whitechapel. Cheers, ma dears.

    @Neil, razrangel - the loud and wonderful noise that goes with that image, for me, is someone wailing on a guitar insanely hard.

    @Annie, +1 internet to you.
  16.  (7509.16)
    As a warm-up, before I get to the main piece -- the origin.

    Ace Egan found a crashed UFO in the year 1940.

    @ Annie & Andre

    Fantatic entries! This r/r has the potential to be epic.

    Mysteries in Space indeed ...
    heh
    Aren't Jodhpurs big boy pants? And the ship is under him ...
  19.  (7509.19)
    And the main piece:



    It's actually much bigger than that -- but being my first time working on this resolution, some mistakes become obvious (besides the coloring, which in my case is ALWAYS a problem) -- full size picture.
