A friend at work asked about comic book characters that I like who are NOT X-Men. It took me a while to think of any because I've been involved with the X-Men for so many years that I forget there are other comic books out there, certainly any that are not part of the X-Men 'family' of books. However one of the first non-X-Men titles I ever bought was "Cloak and Dagger". Believe it or not, that was even before they made a guest appearance in the original "New Mutants". For a good synopsis of their history see Wikipedia (there are other places but most tend to leave more out than they put in, mostly in favor of whatever is going on in the comic world now only).



Upsetting for me was that I found better pictures on Deviant Art than any official site. Here, here, here, and here are some that I thought were good representations.

Before anyone asks or gets upset about it, no I did not even attempt to make Cloak. I have stretched my limited abilities as far as they would go with Dagger. Simple recolors I can do with photoshop but this was a little more complex and I sincerely don't think I can attempt to do more at this time. If someone else were to do it... (hint, hint, hint...) I don't think anyone would complain. Also, it wouldn't hurt my feelings any little bit if someone with more skill than me wanted to make a better version of Tandy.



Nobody faint but the costume is ALL ME! Yep, I did it myself. The WHOLE THING! Okay, well, I recolored a Maxis body and then added and made changes, but I did it. And the alpha? Have you braced yourself? I did it from scratch! I sure did! Since this is my very first clothing that I did more than a quick recolor of, I'm feeling pretty proud of myself right now. Oh! The facial marking? I did that one too. Man, I was busy!

Very good job!  I know exactly how difficult it is to edit alpha's, especially around the neck area.

It's interesting you mention other comics.  The first comic I got was a four pack of X-Men #1, X-Factor #1, X-Force #1, and Uncanny X-Men #280 (ish, I think).  We found it at Wal-Mart of all places.  Anyhow, I would read and re-read those.  But one day I stumbled on G.I. Joe.  That series was the first one that I actually collected, and now I'm wondering where those are.  

Strange, I bet ya would've though it was X-Men.

Well, I do count Alpha Flight as an X-title or they would be the first, but "Cloak and Dagger" and "Power Pack" were my first outside the family. Ah, those were the days.

Wow. And I just had my issue of Cloak & Dagger #1 in my hand not 15 minutes ago. You've done Tandy justice. Thank you for all your hard work.

You know, I actually used her in a story, sorta. I think I remember Sable as having a lot of belts and buckles and stuff which I couldn't do. Maybe someday if I can figure out a way but you're best option is to ask Syn next time he takes requests. Honestly, this one pushed my courage and skills. I have no clue when or if I'll be able to work up to trying something else.

Ah!  I love Cloak and Dagger so I'm glad that someone made at least half of that pair.
