The HEROES Helix Symbol, #3, based on B-DNA Options

[HERΟ]

I wanted to make an improved version of the previous incarnations of the HEROES Symbol that were designed based on if that symbol was actually helical, however, it seems I only take a stab at it every 6 months. I thought I'd post it here even if it doesn't become part of the nbc HEROES Fan Art Gallery.

This version was my interpretation of the HEROES Symbol if its proportions were generally based on the DNA B form (and I've managed to only include the rfl in this post - I know, kinda surprising... ):

I like the finished product in the lower right hand corner. Interesting take on it, trying to bring the symbol back to genetics and all.

Yeah, I kinda like how it turned out, too.

Just fyi- the bottom views, from left to right, could be thought of as the front and right orthographic views, respectively, of the DNA B form, with the upper right view as a top right isometric view.

I made the helical HEROES Symbols because the brand for Isaac's 9thWonders comic books is Helix Comics, with the HEROES Symbol as the logo. Since I hadn't seen that symbol made as a 3D model with a 2D projection, I wanted to see what it could look like.

Dood... that looks soo cool!

[texgrog]

Looks great HERO. For the uninitiated, here's a brief description of the B, A, and Z forms of DNA

[Aerdna]

That's great, HERO. I've always wondered what the symbol would look like if it was helical.

OMG, it's like two mega evolved people mating! ahahahahahahah

[Mabes]

so cool! i wish i i know how to make something like that!

[theJollity]

Wow! I haven't studied genetics since the 9th grade, but I do like this.
I particularly like the bottom left... because the blue bit actually looks like the Helix, and then it's all cool with the black bit added to it. Look how intelligible I am!

What program did you use to make these?

[HERΟ]

Thanks, I appreciate the comments! Do ya have any suggestions for improvement, or ideas for something new to create?

Yikes! That wasn't exactly the impression for which I was aimin'...

It's amazin'; coming from an intelligible one such as you, that's cool to read!

What program did you use to make these?

What? Program?!? (Or, what program?!?) Would you believe it if I told ya that, armed with some fingerpaint, sidewalk chalk, a Sharpie, and a #2 pencil, a person could easily create something like this?

[htr]However, with only such options available, that person wouldn't be me, though...

[Dreadman]

Wow, HERO those look absolutely great! I love the bottom left one the most, but i'm really interested by the bottom right one. Anyway, amazing man!

[HERΟ]

Thanks for the comments! Just an update; after 3 months and 4 separate submissions (once a month since September after a new batch of art was posted), it was finally accepted here, fwiw...

[Begemot Geroi]

Awesome. At least it got accepted somewhere.

[themightytruk]

Awesome that it got accepted. I don't think me (with a spoon) vs. the Dinosaur ever got accepted.

I don't know who gets to judge the submissions, or if the personal preference of the particular judges weigh in much with whether the art is accepted or not. This submission was the last one until a few weeks into October, iirc, and then a new batch was added (so 88 new pieces of art have been added since I first attempted to submit this Helix).

Maybe it was 'cuz of persistence by submitting it after each new batch was added that someone finally decided to give it the okay?

You should submit yours again- it was pretty cool!

Well, I decided to animate the HEROES Helix, just for the fun o' it... So, if ya want, click for the HEROES Helix animation...

[themightytruk]

Awesome, HERO! That's really cool animated!

[Begemot Geroi]

That does look pretty awesome animated. It made me dizzy.

Lo siento about the dizziness - I sorta wanted a few things to happen, but I didn't want it to take a lotta time and be too boring/slow. Sorta like my current banner in the sig - it might change quickly, but I figured that that might be better than setting the duration at a crawl.

And now - pb's down for a spell...

I've been thinking about making this variation of Isaac's (Tim Sale's) Godsend painting for a while, and I finally decided to make it for the EHF fundraiser (if they wanna accept it, that is - anyway, here is the rfl for the image):

ETA this fun info:
30 entries and 3 months after my previous submission (#369 in order of appearance), and almost a year after my first stab at a helical HEROES Symbol, the Godsend variation was accepted at the NBC HEROES fan gallery.

Hero, could you post it in the thread I made, just so people can have more of an idea of the breadth of how many things we're accepting?

(And also so I can have everything all in one place so my Type A personality doesn't go nuts.)

Thanks!

I'll upload it in a bit.

Done.

Also, just fyi- the link I pm'ed ya is different than the one here.

[Begemot Geroi]

I'll check them both out when I get home tonight. Thanks!
