Indie Spotlight Universe

Geoff Beckett, ”... We also realize that Indy Spotlight will create it's own universe as it grows..."

I only needed that part of the quote here. Hmmm, now that is a very interesting statement. Does that mean the Indie figures will also have some completly new stuff that isn't even in a comic? I have been doing some digital work, mostly for practice, ok so my animating sucks and character creating needs work (I didn't get that far in college) I would like to submit some stuff I have no intentions of keeping for myself, in other words I throw it to Shocker and you guys can snag up copywrites for it and keep it for yourselves if you want, make figures off some of that. Now on the flip side of that, I'v already mentioned to Shocker doing figures off my game characters, those will be copywrit, copywritted, copywrote? to me. *Grumbles incoherintly* Need a lawyer for the legal jargan here. I guess what I'm proposing is some Indie exclusive work from myself that Shocker can snag rights on, and also work I keep rights to that Shocker gets first pick for the Indie Spotlight series. If that's what that statement means, the Indie Spotlight will create it's own universe, then I see no reason not to throw some characters, creatures, and monsters toward Shocker just for Shocker. PLEASE no bad FUBU jokes! Anyway, as always all replies are welcomed and encouraged. I don't want anyone to feel scared of what I'm going to say, feel free to post a reply within the confinds of the forum rules.

Ok, I got a second parter here now. I may have misunderstood what that quote meant, and that's ok. Anyway, as for some suggestions I can make without having to ask a question that might sound like a 4 year old would ask. I did read about "public domain" figures, to be more specific the Project Superpowers line. I was thinking on what all out there is "public domain" Shocker could do figures of. I got some horror suggestions. Public Domain Horror

Mummies (always a good start) I had a really bad*ss mummy made by McFarlane, one of the only figures he did with articulation..heh. Anyway, that's any mummy, not any in particular. All of these suggestions will be non specific charaters that I'd like to see articulated.
Vampires, no one ever said Dracula was the only one. Also no one ever said vampires have to dress in flamboyant 17th century outfits neither, that don't stop Lestat now does it?
Werewolves, I'd go with the large upright standing type, for example the werewolves in Underworld, not a rip off of them, but how they stand up.
Already did King Zombie, he needs subjects....more zombies. "Zombies, man they creep me out." Land of the Dead quote. Believe me I think the chances of getting sued for zombie figures is about the same as an actual zombie encounter. I mean unless you do something stupid like make a zombie figure of George A. Romero, though he might actually say "Thanks." Oh and I have a face pic of myself (I was playing with an image editor and didn't want to ask anyone for permission to use a pic of their face) looks like half my face is burnt or somethin' nasty anyway, I'd throw that in the pile for zombies.

Everyone should see that pic here. I have learned to do attachments now without linking it. So here goes.

Ok, I'd like to post some Public Domain concept art for my horror suggestions. That's right I am willing to go ahead and sketch all that out from the vague and obscure angle that is public domain. I might even go as far as to take this public domain thing to a level of it's own. I've got some more PD suggestions, all of which I will gladly sketch out concepts for that can be slightly altered to completly overhauled from scratch, should Shocker wish to use any of it.
Horror I think is a good start. We've got most of that established. Vampires, Werewolves, Mummies, Zombies. Check. Here comes some fun.
Otaku, for those who are not up to date on the language it just means mech (or an anime fan also, depending on it's use) in this case I say otaku as mechs or robots, droids (androids) I don't mean they have to be massively huge, but if that's the way Shocker wants them they are entitled to change the scale of anything I send in.
Ninja
Samurai
Knights
Military style (random)
Fantasy races, Dwarves, Elves, that sort of thing.
Fantasy monsters, Minotaur, Centaur, Hydra, Oni (Japanese demon)

I will try to offer up some stylized versions of each thing I've suggested. That means by item (or character) rather than by class. So expect to see my concept of a Hydra PD with Indie figures in mind, as well as the Minotaur to go along side it. If I add word bubbles does that classify it as a comic now? Anyway, I'm gonna have so much fun with this and I ask anyone and everyone who likes the idea to participate as well and throw some PD sketches in here too. Shocker should get to see more than one angle of everything.
