I didn't show the watercolored verison yet, it took me a few more hours. I'm hapy about how it turned out ! All these characters that I played this year did a few things that are worth detailing, although I did mention it quickly on the uncolored version.

I added their names for those who aren't familiar with them yet ! They all have a dedicated blog with info about them, other artworks and their story !

P'tit Louis' shirt is a reference to the last scenario of his campaign, and the writting in the green pin is a phrase that Paul (one of his companions) said at a very important moment and it was hilarious. The pink pin is a joke from the last scenario we played in Nephilim this year (a French pun). I will also explain why he has a gold ring. I added his fangs, a new metamorphosis he gained at the end of the campaign. @ptit-louis

Tony is very happy, he's holding a lemur's tail, a reference to Keric le Zemmur, an ennemy he killed (and probably traumatized, Keric is certainly in hell, haunted forever by the Sram's grim smile, the last vision he had in his life, and the phrase "I told you that your soul would never have peace"). He is proud ! Also, the villain's name is a pun regarding a French politician. @tony-redrum

Noria is just chilling with her pet frog, Sergent Uc!, she started Hogwards school this year and is delighted to discover that magicx is real, she has so many things to discover ! @noria-helveticus

Lorelei looks chill here, I actually created her design for this drawing, so I'm happy. She started her campaign, the Ennemi Within, and due to her cult, she must keep herself serious. But open your eyes, the short priestress of Morr holds her flail, a weapon that has already proven her skill as a warrior. @lorelei-versengold

Morrigan is just happy, she's just naturally optimistic ! He played 3 scenarios this year already, although he suffered a lot already. She has a good heart, and fighting demon isn't always easy. @morrigan-sahar

Sal'aäd is on vacation. He finally got out of a dungeon, and honestly, it didn't go well for him. Just look in his eyes... He's dead inside. He did get a souvenir from the dungeon though. @salaad-dronnoc

Adélaïde finally began her campaign with my main group... As an NPC, since I'm the DM. SHe put her deer skull down, it's a bit heavy after all ! Although she still wears other smaller skulls in her hair, weird fetish. She's summonning small bbutterfly illusions, they are quite pretty after all. @adelaide-lanshasaa

Z-Heroes is also on Instagram (that's where I actually post the most). However, the page is in French... It's @z.heroes.bd. Translating this all is quite hard, I have to earase the speech bubbles and type the translated text as well as make sure that it fits into it ! Working through computers is so unconfortable to me, I'm a crayon-paper type of person, I would be so much more efficient if I could work the same way I do for the French version !

I know I'm quite impressive, but I'm a Hero, not a Villain ! Captain Glucose, nice to meet you ! Oh, sorry, did I hurt you ? My grip is quite strong, I tend to forget about it... Adventures ? Yes, I have a few I could tell, but I believe that someone is already working on that... Rubisco Boy (@captain-glucose-sidekick) told me that I should not spoil the story, so you will need to be patient, although you can already read part of our first mission online... Ah, here is the link to the English version of Z-Heroes ! But if you speak French, there are more pages here. I can still tell you a few things I guess, but don't expect too much stories of me just now.

About Captain Glucose

What is Z-Heroes

Illustrations

When I created Captain Glucose, I wanted him to stand out of the group with his impressive size. Here's a chart as an indication, although it counts the afro and shoes for Funky Man.

I used this website, it's quite useful !

In Z-Heroes, Rubisco Boy is @captain-glucose's sidekick, but as his friend told the group, he is an excellent sniper. He has an excellent perception, and a very specific rifle. Since he is only the sidekick, no one really paid attention to what he would shoot, but he proved his skill in several scenarios (hopefully, I will draw them as well !). In Champions TTRPG, our heroes are forbidden to kill, thus, Rubisco uses specific ammunitions to fight.

First, it's important to acknowledge that this character was fully built as a parody of Captain America. To fuel his "super-soldier" energy, I considered that it would be biologically more accurate for him to eat so much. Glucose is a simple sugar molecule (there exist many more complex forms), and when food is being digested, sugars are broken down into glucose before entering the bloodstream. Also, Captain Glucose eats many sweets, he always had a sweet tooth.

Captain for the reference and Glucose for the sugar intake.

On his backstory, Captain Glucose is a big fan of Captain America comics, and when he became a hero, he really wanted his hero name to be a reference to Steve Rogers. There is another backstory element that justifies this name choice, that I cannot spoil here.

Wow, well you're very curious now, huh? I don't really know what to say... I had a complicated life until I met someone very special ! It took me years to bloom into who I am today, but I am very proud of who I became after all the hardships I went through ! But let's leave the past where it belongs, and move forward.

Margie seems to be reluctant to tell more about her past life... But I am preparing yet another project to share it !
