Either Doctor Who or arch-villians (published or not).

I love the Golden Age, although it tends to inspire me to do period pastiches which nobody likes much. Poor me.

I think Silver Sable would be a good choice. She's semi-obscure, and metallics are fun and challenging to work with.

Does Doctor Who have comic books? I don't think I have seen them but I am not sure.

There've been Doctor Who comics in Britain since the '70s. Early ones featured work by Frank Bellamy, later ones Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons.

I figured there might have been but I just haven't seen them really, being in America and all.

Although I love Dr. Fate, I'm going to vote for Conan. I think the image-making, especially if I have time to work properly on the background, will be more interesting.

i liked ironcommandos idea take goldenage or pulp characters and update them however you want and to make it really challening do a before and after pic that would show what the original looked like and what you did to update it

"Know, O prince, that between the years when the oceans drank Atlantis and the gleaming cities, and the years of the rise of the sons of Aryas, there was an Age undreamed of, when shining kingdoms lay spread across the world like blue mantles beneath the stars ... Hither came Conan, the Cimmerian, black-haired, sullen-eyed, sword in hand, a thief, a reaver, a slayer, with gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth, to tread the jeweled thrones of the Earth under his sandaled feet." -- The Nemedian Chronicles
