Indeed. The Mystical Emerald-Man is a comic I have been developing for a while. As some of you boards veterans may have known. You may even remember an older version of this comic once upon a time.

Blue Moon comic. I have been trying to really lean into the older comic book style.
(Also, the links provide the actual comic too, if you did not know.)

Like a proper sheet of the characters and their powers or just like a gaming character sheet? I could try the former on some characters.

I ask because what if there were others who would want to make fanart of these characters for you. I mean surely you will put some details on the costumes right?

I’ve actually gotten fanart before, some of the issues feature them. I could definitely make sheets but the designs are usually not too complex I think.
