My original character "The Glyph" teleporting in whilst wielding his ancient Egyptian khopesh sword in epic colour styley!

By The Amazing :iconjoeyvazquez: , a.k.a., Joey Vazquez! Oops! I just gave away his secret identity! My bad!

Way cool details and colours/fx on this. I really dig the pose too.

What we know about The Glyph thus far...

The Glyph was once fully human, but he was genetically altered into an Ankhgorian/human hybrid. After being genetically altered, he eventually lost his left claw/tentacle arm in an epic battle. He decided to get a cybernetic replacement that resembled a human arm, to honor his past, but he added an extendable metal coil tentacle to it, so it would semi-function like the lost Ankhgorian appendage he had become so accustomed to. And The Ankhgorians are an ancient alien race that have some similarities in both looks and abilities to The Glyph.

As far as The Glyph's abilities and powers go, besides the usage of his crab-like claw, and tentacles (1 octopus-like one, which can be totally retracted into his forearm, and 1 extendable metal coil one) [link] , The Glyph can shoot his cybernetic hand off like a missile and control it remotely [link] , shoot plasma from his cybernetic hand (from a glowing eye of Horus on his palm) [link] , teleport [link] , and jump very high. He is also trained in martial arts (his weapon of choice is a khopesh, an ancient Egyptian sword, as seen above), and acrobatics. He uses telepathy to communicate, and cannot speak otherwise. The Glyph fights in a skilled, efficient, and calm manner; and when not fighting, seems to see things with a childlike wonder through alien eyes. He has a pretty good sense of humor too. The Glyph has a black winged scarab hieroglyph on his upper back [link] , which is usually covered up by his cape, and sometimes wears a spiked sleeve cuff on his claw arm between his elbow and octopus-like tentacle [link] . And that's an ankh on his belt.

Hmm, I'm sensing an ancient Egyptian theme here...

I love the design of the character, it's very stand-out and original. Looks like he could lead a pirate-like army of vigilante heroes.
