SEMILLA

When creating a comic book character, you have to give a lot of thought to it to get the results you want. That's what I did with my character Semilla. Semilla which means see in Spanish was the angel I wanted. Have a plant man of Latin descent. I had a Latin male model and his name is Sami Torrealba. Here is Sami as Semilla:

 Sami also modeled my two other characters, ComicBookGuy and Liquido as well. Sami did moved on but I was grateful for his help.

I wanted to still keep Semilla alive as my goal was to bring him to a convention. I began to look at Model Mayhem and came across Joey Garcia's profile. He knew a lot about comic books and more. We met in person and he agreed to model Semilla but wanted to model ComicBookGuy which I agreed as he was perfect for that character as well. Here is Joey as Semilla:

Joey moved on but I wanted to bring Semilla to a convention. I found another model to model Semilla but he became cocky and arrogant and never made his debut as Semilla. One day, I placed an ad on Craigslist, looking for a male model to model ComicBookGuy which I fond him but someone else answered and his name is Andrew Andrade. When I interviewed Andrew, something about his professionism and positive attitude that besides hiring him, made me change the Semilla from being an evil eco terrorist to an ally to ComicBookGuy. Here is Andrew as Semilla:

   

Andrew will be making his debut as Semilla on 5/28/17 at Megacon at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Fl.

Hey Fans, in the comic book world, every hero has a arch enemy or a villian obsessed in destroying the hero. Batman has The Joker and Superman has Lex Luthor so I wanted ComicBookGuy to have someone in that category.

 

I needed to come up with such a character. One day, at the church that I was going to at the time, there was this young girl who would always come up to me and would tell me a joke. She would always tell me a joke every time she saw me. I gave her the nickname Joke Master and she loved it. However, at the same time, the experience was the inspiration I needed for my new character Joke Master. 

 

I wanted Joke Master to be a female and not a male. I went on Model Mayhem to look for a model and found Victoria Bush. The best part about her was she knew about the comic book world and she was a costume designer. Here is Victoria as Joke Master:

 

 

Joke Master creates toys of destruction and tells jokes. If she told you a joke and you didn't laugh, she would kill you by putting a smiley mask filled with acid. Joke Master made her debut at the Comic Expo in Orlando Fl in 2013 and won second place at their costume contest. Joke Master made appearance at the Orlando Toy & Comic Con and again at Megacon in 2014.

There were problems in regards to Joke Master that Victoria voiced as there were similarities to The Joker. She moved on but she was right but I wasn't going to give up.

 

I met another model and wanted her to model "Joke Master" but explained the problem about the character. She also has knowledge about the comic book world and came up with the idea of Kidder. I like that so I was going to rename Joke Master to Kidder and come up with a different look. However the model had a offer to model somewhere else and moved on. I was still determined to find a model to model Kidder.

 

Our model Angel Cuevas sent me a message that a model was interested in our project. I told him to have her contact me which she did. I was impressed with her knowledge about comic books including the name of the female Joker "Duela Dent." I wanted to interviewed her and she was there. We talked and Micaela Montgomery  became part of our team. I had a concept for the Kidder character and began to get her costume but it wasn't working. So we brainstormed and then we began to finding the right costume and makeup for Kidder which we did. I planned a photo shoot and as well as going to do a video. Micaela asked if I was opened in changing her name from Kidder to Dollface. I LOVE the name so from the ashes of Joke Master came Dollface. Here is Micaela Montgomery as Dollface:

 

Dollface will be making her Megacon debut on 5/28/17 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando Fl. Stay tuned for her pics and video coming soon. Makeup was done by Jessica Woodrough.

 

Til next time and thank you for letting us help you bring the Superhero in you to life!
