She comes from Adventures Into The Unknown #9, published by American Comics Group. In the story, a scientist named Robert Lewis uses a mysterious gas to resurrect dead animals. This gas has the side effect of changing the animals into different ones, including a panther into a woman. Dr Lewis falls madly in love with the woman, and tries his best to “civilize” her, as while she may look like a woman, she’s still a panther at her core. Ultimately, her beastly side wins and she runs off after killing Lewis while in her panther form.

Now, in my story/world building thingy, my version of Moona begins right after the comic ends. While she is on the run, she bumps into a kind young man named Mio, who takes her in. Moona tries to hide her true identity from him but fails quickly, leading to Mio to reveal his own true identity as the Egyptian God of War and Protection, Maahes, the son of Sekhmet. Maahes, being the kindhearted man he is, offers to adopt Moona and become her teacher. Moona happily accepts this offer and the rest is ongoing :)

She’s the main character from a story I’m writing and I’d like some art of her. In particular, her in a black military style uniform since she’s a villain ^^

Step up ladies and gentlemen, for the matchup of the century! The 8th wonder of the world, the magnificent marvel of nature, the one and only King Kong, takes on the greatest achievement modern science has produced, Dr Frankenstein’s Monster! They call Dr Frankenstein a madman for attempting to create life out of death, but he proved them wrong! Now these two come face to face for the first time, and only one can leave victorious! Can the King of Skull Island stop the Creature? Or will this marvel of modern science be too much for him to handle?

Tried my hand at doing a movie poster style thumbnail and description for the MU.

Just a few more years folks, and the 8th Wonder is ours! 🦍

Core connections:

Both are supreme beings who perpetuate a cycle of creation and destruction

Both are responsible for creating countless gods below them (For Example; the many gods of Harmona-Latona and the rest of the Pegānan Pantheon)

Both have someone responsible for looking out after them (Sylvia, Rain’s guardian angel, and Skarl, the drummer that keeps Māna-Yood-Sushāi asleep for all eternity)

A little lore drop about Rain :D; Rain is meant to be my avatar in my multiverse. While I may not be able to physically interact with my multiverse, Rain is. They are pretty much the same as IRL me; Creative, always trying to be the best version of myself, and always trying to lend a helping hand, wherever they are in the multiverse. While you could argue that Rain is too strong for this sub as technically they have author privileges, they prefer not to fight and instead will actively try to seek a peaceful solution to any situation. Scaling is also kinda weird because sometimes Rain likes to appear as a normal person within different universes, so sometimes they’re as strong as a normal person, other times they’re not. The Star Castle is also kinda their home base.

She claims to have been born centuries beforehand, in what is now Tyrol, but her true origins are unknown. What can be said about Carmilla is she is ruthless. She has stated multiple times she’s received visions instructing her to be the one that will bring humanity to the next stage of evolution, and she intends to do that by any means necessary. The earliest photos of her come from 1908, though she herself claims she was already hundreds of years old when those were taken. She currently resides in a small section of Tyrol, which she rules over with an iron fist, having given herself the title of “The Scientist Queen”, fitting as she conducts many experiments in her spare time, all in the hopes of advancing humanity, even if it’s against their will.

Her main power is her frightening intelligence, as while she’s never truly disclosed her exact IQ, she claims to be one of the smartest people ever, stating that her IQ is somewhere beyond the 250 mark. Physically, she has incredible strength, durability, speed and incredible regeneration. As she has stated, she is immortal. She has trained in a variety of martial arts and is proficient in a number of weapons as well, including guns, swords and bows. She is Laos proficient in magic, and keeps a large collection of magical items, including the Rauóskinna, a powerful book of magical from Iceland, which was said to be the “Bible” of all wizards and the Radiate Crown, a crown supposedly crafted from a fragment of the sun that fell to Earth that allows her to be immune from all sources of heat. She’s not just a practitioner of magic however. She has advanced machinery and weapons, from laser rifles to fully automated battle droids. She even has a set of armor she designed herself, fusing a terrifying blend of magic and technology to suit her needs.

I have decided to try my hand at reworking an old public domain character into something new. While Dracula gets all the attention, Carmilla by Sheridan Le Fanu predated the Count by 25 years (1872), and was a landmark in both Gothic horror and (interestingly enough for the time), LGBTQ themes, as it’s credited with creating the “lesbian vampire” trope. I figured I’d throw my spin on her as a budding writer myself, since I’m a huge fan of the public domain. And also tossing her into my absolutely messy and confusing as hell Multiverse (long story short, fictional realism is a major thing in it). I’ll be adding lore to her as I go, so I’m open to suggestions and opponents for her. I tried to base this version of her off of people like the High Evolutionary from Marvel or Dr Moreau. The photo is an edit of the book’s cover.

Also, the fact they moved the Russia flag and replaced them with America, despite Russia being a huge fan of Israel is pretty telling.

The Scramble for Africa would begin in the late 1800s, with Belgium’s King Leopold seizing the Congo for himself in 1885, citing humanitarian causes for doing so. In 1886, the newly formed German Empire would lay claim to vast swaths of tropical Africa, allowing for the colony of Neu Preuẞen (New Prussia) in what today is Cameroon, with plans on expanding it into a vast colonial empire that stretched the entire region. So Britain, France and Germany called the Berlin Conference to discuss further expansion into the continent alongside many other great powers, including Italy, Russia and The United States.

In the end, the U.S., Britain, Germany, Russia, France, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Austria-Hungry and surprisingly, Japan, Greece and Oman ended up carving up the continent.

Britain would get debatably the largest part of Africa, with their colonies stretching from Egypt, a protectorate of theirs, to South Africa and Ghana and Nigeria being added in as well, as they bought Ghana from the Germans in exchange for ceding lands in South Africa to them.

France, who had already been in Algeria, expanded their empire across the Sahara, and along with Germany, Italy and Russia, carved up Kenya and Somalia. They also laid claim to Madagascar, though, much to their annoyance, they had to split it with other powers, namely Japan, Oman, Spain and Portugal.

Portugal expanded their colonies in Angola, Mozambique and Guinea-Bissau, even taking a chunk of Madagascar from France, much to the French’s annoyance. They also attempted to connect Angola and Mozambique but were stopped the by British, would wanted a Cape to Cario railway.

Germany would expand Neu Preuẞen across Central Africa in an attempt to establish a giant Mittelafrika colony, though they were stopped by the British, who threatened war should Germany push any further into the region. So, instead, Germany set up a colony in Kenya, splitting it with France. They also grabbed Namibia and part of the Gold Coast as a colony.

Italy was a late player to the colonial era, and attempted to first set up a colony in what is today Sudan, only to be chased away by the British. Afterwards, they set up a colony in Eritrea, followed by a colony in Somalia. They attempted to connect the two, though they were stopped by Russia and France. Later, a failed invasion of Ethiopia by them resulted in one of the most humiliating defeats for a European power in Africa, and cemented Ethiopia’s independence and a reputation as the only “civilized” sub Saharan nation. Later, they’d launch a surprise invasion of Ottoman Libya during the Balkan Wars, taking the colony and expanding it down south with the help of the British in Sudan.

While Russia didn’t express much interest in colonialism in Africa, owing to a failed 1865 attempt at colonizing Somalia that ended with the colony being wiped out and massacred by the natives, when the Tzar heard of Ethiopia’s Orthodox Christian population, he became convinced that the country was the legendary Kingdom of Prester John. So, he ordered the colonization of the Horn to establish diplomatic ties to a fellow Orthodox country. The colony would become a hot spot for religious tourists and was also used a dumping spot for prisoners. After the Russian Revolution, the colony declared independence and became a soft protectorate of Ethiopia until the second Italian invasion in 1935, when a fascist coup would turn them into an Italian and later Nazi ally. After WW2, the French would occupy the country until 1951, when a communist coup that may or may not haven been funded by the USSR would overthrow the pro French government, leading to the country establishing firm ties to the Eastern Bloc and Warsaw Pact.

Spain was historically more focused on the Americas for colonialism but did take some land in northern Morocco following an 1882 war. Later, they’d get the lands that would become the Western Sahara and expand it. In addition, they’d take over part of central Africa, mostly centered around Gabon and Equatorial Guinea. They’d even get a small part of Madagascar to serve as a fueling station for ships going to the Spanish Pacific.

Greece was never intending on colonizing Africa, but after helping Italy in the Balkan Wars, Italy was kind enough to grant a small portion of the Libyan coast to Greece. Later, Greece would buy Alexandria from the British, citing their history with Alexander the Great and the cultural significance of the city.

Austria-Hungary would be granted a small colony next to American Liberia, though this was hotly debated as some within the Empire wanted to focus more on the Balkans rather than overseas expansion. As such, the colony wouldn’t be that well developed by the start of the Great War, and would put up a minor struggle before being overwhelmed by British and French forces. Afterwards, the two countries would split the colony between themselves.

The thought of colonialism in America was a hotly debated subject in the late 1800s, with some arguing that America needed colonial possessions in order to be respected by the Old World, with others pointing out that it was hypocritical for America, who herself was forged from a struggle against colonialism, to seek out an empire. After the civil war, the idea of freed slaves returning to Africa grew in popularity, both from white racists, who wanted the freed blacks out of the country, and some African American groups, who argued for a “return to their natural homeland”. Liberia was asked to rejoin the Union as a territory in 1874, and after doing so, was expanded to include surrounding lands. This act angered Britain and France, who held colonial ambitions in the region. Morocco, the first country to formally recognize the United States’ independence from the British Empire, also requested a protectorate status by the U.S., owing to France and Spain violating several treaties with them. The U.S. would formally declare a protectorate status over them in 1899, a year after the Spanish American War.

Oman had gone through a period of industrialization and modernization thanks to help from the British and throughout the later 1800s, worked to solidify their control over Zanzibar, which would later become the colony of Tanzania. They would also snatch a port from Madagascar, which they would expand at the annoyance of the French, who had laid claim to the island.

Japan was also a rising colonial power, and was given a part of Madagascar to serve as a refueling post for Japanese ships going to Europe. Though after the Suez Canal was opened, this colony’s main point because less important as the canal cut the time needed go to Europe.

A few states would remain semi independent such as Morocco and Egypt, and only two would be skilled enough to maintain their full sovereignty, those being Tunisia and Ethiopia.

Tunisia was skilled enough to play both France and Italy, who were both competing for the rights to colonize Tunisia, off against each other. An example being that Tunisia allowed Italy hold her navy in their ports, while also allowing France to operate banks and markets in the country. Whenever Tunisia felt like one country was becoming too aggressive to them, they’d lean into the other. This worked until 1933, when Italy would swiftly invade and conquer the nation, placing a military governor in charge until their defeat in the North African theater of WW2. Afterwards, Tunisia would become a republic, which would be overthrown by the military and turned into an absolute monarchy in the mid 1950s, as the military cited supposed communist influence in the country. In the late 1980s however, a revolution would occur and turned Tunisia into a semi democratic republic, though the country still has authoritarian tendencies from time to time.

Ethiopia was able to buy modern equipment from Russia, a fellow Orthodox country and the UK who wanted to counter German influence in the region. Following Italy’s humiliation at their hands, Ethiopia gained a reputation as the “only civilized country in the Dark Continent” among European countries, owning to their military victories, fast modernization and Orthodox Christian traditions. It also helped that the Emperor of Ethiopia sought a treaty with Russia in the years following the war with Italy, in which both countries promised to join any future wars on the other’s sides. And after the Russian Empire’s collapse in 1918, Ethiopia moved in and took a protectionist stance towards the former Russian colony in the region. Though they would fall to an invasion by Italy in the later 1930s, Ethiopians would resist the occupation until the Allies liberated the region in WW2, in which a number of Ethiopians would assist the Allies in their invasion of Italy. 

One of my absolute favorite MUs, especially given I’m reading Frankenstein right now.

I tried making the fight art look like an old film still from the 1930s.

While in general, Godzilla vs Kong is a “sure, why not” MU for me, I really love the idea as a guilty pleasure of mine, as I’m a huge fan of the Monsterverse and Godzilla and King Kong in general.

Full comp would mean including crossovers as without them, Kong has no way of dealing with True Form Godzilla Ultima or Godzilla In Hell. But full crossover Kong gets a lantern ring, which can be multiversal and has tanked attacks from the Dark Presence from Fortnite, who is canonically stated to be a threat to the Fortnite omniverse, which includes such IPs as Dragon Ball, Star Wars and Marvel.

The track art is Kong and Godzilla roaring while Godzilla’s atomic breath and Kong’s axe separates them. Behind them is a green lantern ring, calling back to the Godzilla vs Kong vs Justice League crossover and red mist, which is a call back to Godzilla Ultima, one of my personal favorite Godzilla designs.

Your daily reminder that Campism is cringe and Free 🇵🇸 and 🇺🇦
