Super-genius Riri Williams during her early career, as she becomes the armoured Ironheart because Tony Stark painted himself into a corner *again*.

Ms. Marvel (Kamala Khan) at the very beginning of her career. Body-morphing powers and heroic spirit. As of May of 2020, this profile received a review for style and clarity, plus M&M stats that do make their five dailies.

Black Canary

(Wu/Fletcher take)

Another profile for Black Canary (Dinah Drake). This one covers a *specific* era during the mid-2010s, when she was part of a rock band. It was fairly cool, though IMO it was Annie Wu's art that really sold it.

alttext

Generic kavat

(Warframe)

A strange, feline-like species of heavily engineered war beasts and predators in the Warframe video game. They're like psionic space super-panthers, I guess.

alttext

Oberon-class warframe

A short-ish profile of the Oberon warframe from, well, the Warframe video game, for use in tabletop/pen-and-paper RPGs.
