ROFL
aries got such a shy nature from what i saw that i nearly feel bad for him lol

Oh don't feel bad for him,

Would you feel bad if it was you in his place?

depends the lady's temper
if they are the kind to abuse their sex appeal to control a poor shy guy to make him do what they want because he is too nice yeah i would be lol

But they're not that way.

then am jealous of him lol

Oh well, maybe next time. It be you.

lol i would never be that lucky heheh

You may never know.

lol true

Nods.

He's both really enjoying it and really uncomfortable. He would not change positions with anyone right now but he's sweating.

hehe i can bet

So many guys would like to be where Aries is right now.

I know, I'm one of them.

:)

Me thinks Captain America would be proud to see this.

I know, if I was Captain America. I would be smiling ear to ear.

Ditto for Cap.

Yes.

I think so

Oh man, I can't believe this.

At least the ladies won't have to worry about him doing something to make them mad with him.

No they won't ever with Aries.

They like him very much.

And for that very reason.

You're right.

Nods.

Nah, Aries is a nice guy and pretty much a gentleman. They might have to worry about him fainting or getting an anime nosebleed though.

Which is why I said they don't have to worry about him doing something that will ticked them off.

I see America is well-REPRESENTED.

VERY MUCH SO!!!

Wouldn't Carc be proud?

Well.....http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3041482/ .

Carc isn't a flag-waving American. He is of foreign-birth and raised in the former Confederacy. If anything he'd wave the German flag and the Confederate flag first. He doesn't have much faith in America (like Rorschach didn't have faith in society). However, he's destined to protect America and the rest of the world in due time.

I know about that stuff but wouldn't he like them?

Carc's initial thought would be "Hurm....not enuff black." then "Let me guess. Fair play. Negotiate. Take down, not take out. Swell....." Carc was raised and lived differently. If Aries, Dame Freedom and Lady Liberty knew a tenth of what Carc has done in what he calls "justice". They'd either, gag, faint, or attempt to arrest him. Lawful good adventurers and superheroes make him itch.

Once again, how would he know?

Cuz Carc (as well as I) KNOW people's nature. That's why Carc doesn't wear colors cuz he represents his colors. Of course all three have the opportunity to show Carc otherwise. The only star-spangled antagonist I remember was the 50s Captain America that Steve Englehart revived in the early 70s as a choatic, ultra-right wing, bigoted and most especially hateful nutbar.

Yes they can show him otherwise. but Carc must otherwise be careful in "how he knows" people.

Heh...Carc is seldom careful.

That can get him in trouble.

Carc is usually in some form of trouble (if you read the series, the line of people that want to deal with Carc is rather lengthy). But Carc has NEVER backed down from anyone. The ONLY time he chose not to fight someone was 'Slide. When 'Slide's "failsafe" kicked in, his internal computer set on kill all unrecognized life-forms. Since Carc has recently de-aged, the computer didn't immediately recognize him. He managed to stay out of 'Slide's way until 'Slide regained consciousness.

That I can see.

Also, it seems our star-spangled trio is all about fair play and such. Carc is more a grim anti-hero who'd be the exact opposite of the trio.

Carc whips out his auto-shotgun and rapid-fires an attacking felon. The trio stare in shock and amazement.

Lady Liberty: You SHOT him!
Carc: Yeah...yer still alive, ain'tcha.

You would be surprised by both women.

I don't think Carc knows them well.

Well...there's ALWAYS the opportunity for a team-up.

Hurm....got SILENCE on THAT one. Dunno WHY the superhero community is SCARED of being around Carc.

They're not scared being around him. Once again Carc assumes.

Okay...cards on th' table....(people usually start heading for the exits when I say that)
I've had Carc & 'Slide going for eight years, which was public knowledge in furdom (usually referred to as "Addlesee's cigar-smokin' wolverine and Rich's cyborg cat"). Outside of a team=up with Savage Squirrel, and maybe an occasional cameo or an illustration by someone else. No one, and I MEAN NO one has EVER sacced up, stepped up, stood and delivered an invitation for Carc or 'Slide to appear in a story alongside their superhero or costumed adventurer. As much as I'm The Outsider in furdom, Carc & 'Slide are outsiders among their peers.

Did you ever ask me? I know you didn't know me and vice versa. But how about asking me?

I'll give you an invitation when my current commission is done.

Well, you're correct, sir. I didn't know you as anything more than an occasional commentator. I figured that's how you wanted to keep it.

As they say. Let's get to know each other.

My door is always open (and I think some know why...PROWL! Where's my friggin' door?!).

Once my current commissioned comic is done. I invite your characters to an adventure.

Hurm...I thought we were going to sit down to a couple cups of coffee and I start off with "My name is Steve. I'm 51. I'm a Leo. My favorite color is black. I was born in Berlin, raised in Columbus Georgia. I like drawing, Captain America, cigars, superhero video games, and long-ass road trips. My turn-offs are idjits, bureaucracy and moonbat liberals.

Or something like that.

I live in a different town though.

Nar....it's all right.

Ok.

Thank you for the offer of an adventure with your characters, but I now feel it wouldn't work out.

Why is that?

Cuz, basically, you waved off your directive of getting better acquainted. I made the attempt ("my door is always open"). You replied about later inviting me to collaborate. Heck. I tried to get the ball rolling with that silly introduction about me. You replied something about living in a "different town". Yeah, wow, we certainly got acquainted. Since getting acquainted seemed out of the question, I felt a collab wouldn't work either. It's cool. I'll make do as I always have, in the spirit of the little red hen.

I waved off my directive?

What's that supposed to mean?

Look, at this time. I got stuff on my plate and I'm prioritizing.

Okay I couldn't see you now.

I live in, D.C. from you living in Georgia. I literally couldn't come and see you.

But I would make time online to talk when I have a chance.

So how could I as you assume wave off my directive?

You typed "As they say. Let's get to know each other." (your "directive")

Well, cripes, I'm right here. Get acquainted already. I typed "My door is always open (and I think some know why...PROWL! Where's my friggin' door?!)." I tried to make light of the situation.

Then you came at me with "Once my current commissioned comic is done. I invite your characters to an adventure." You typed that already and had nothing to do with getting acquainted.

I replied "Hurm...I thought we were going to sit down to a couple cups of coffee and I start off with "My name is Steve. I'm 51. I'm a Leo. My favorite color is black. I was born in Berlin, raised in Columbus Georgia. I like drawing, Captain America, cigars, superhero video games, and long-ass road trips. My turn-offs are idjits, bureaucracy and moonbat liberals.

Or something like that." I got the ball rolling to get you back on track. However, you replied "I live in a different town though."

At the time I had NO idea WHAT that meant before it finally dawned on me you meant literally meeting. I NEVER stated literally meeting. We can't get acquainted via typing? That's when I figure "if he doesn't want to get acquainted, no way in blue hell do we need to collab".

I hoped that explained it well enough for you.

Well please don't figure that I don't want to get acquainted. Yes I was going to tell you a little about me.

But at the time, I couldn't reply because I grabbed in other directions. My mother needed my help on some stuff.

I wasn't blowing you off when I said "Once my current commissioned comic was done. I invite your characters to an adventure" Now that was a misunderstanding.

Look I apologize, and yes I literally thought that you wanted meet me.

My name is Jawara, I'm 37, I like all kind of colors. Born in New York, lived most of my life in D.C. and Maryland. I have a lot of likes and dislikes. My turn-offs are Conservatives, the Confederate Flag, cigarettes, cigars, bureaucracy, simple minded idiots, unnecessary complexity, people being forever bitter, people forever holding a grudge against someone or something, and so much negativity.

I do like Captain America(Steve Rogers), U.S. Navy(I served), New York, Traveling, good music, and a lot other good things in life.

Heh...yer gonna HATE me then, since I probably represent most of your turn-offs. That's cool cuz like a hybrid car I roll with friendship or hatred as a fuel. I'm conservative, regard the Confederate flag as "The Standard" (but I'm regarding the heritage, not the slavery issue), smoke cigars and a pipe, and there's nothing wrong with being bitter, calloused, cold, dark, grim, hard, jaded, judgmental, realistic and serious or holding an eternal grudge when it's earned. I'm merely a product of my environment and experiences.

I do appreciate your service to our country (hand salute) and happy you're a fellow Cap fan.

If you think you can get along with this old sod despite all his turn-offs, then we'll give it a try.

I'm fine with then.

Okey dokey.

Good, By the way, I gotta go. I got people to meet today for a job interview.

Hokay..after much reflection (especially after what happened last night), I'm going to decline on the idea of a collab. In previous collabs (with the exception of  eggplantman and  karno), other collabs have met with disaster and I'm beyond tired of yet another potential disaster.

Okay I accept your decision.

Okey dokey then. You should be relieved or overjoyed. I just know that despite being the "LONE wolverine" of Carc & 'Slide, I can collab with myself without fear of something going wrong.

Nods to that though I am a little disappointed.

Well...it seems disappointment is yet another fuel for my "hybrid" self that I can "roll" on.

So can I and I can always imagine what might've been.

What might've been what? .oO(cripes...I HATE it when they get cryptic on me. Can't ANYONE lay "cards on the table" other than me?)

Cryptic, come on. You got to kidding me. Me, being cryptic?

Collaboration. of course. I imagine what might've been. I was confident it would work. But as you said, You gave it thought and you felt it wouldn't work.

So we both move on with what we do.

Hokay...that's better.

I dunno how you could've been "confident" a collab would've worked when I raised so many "flags" in your "turn-offs". Also, it's not like you've thought for months "Gee....I wonder how a Carc/Ranger team-up would fly?"

True. We do move on, albeit in separate directions. You'll do fine. I'll plod through as I always have.

Well, as Eggplantman said, "It's those differences that make for a good story."

But I did had confidence it could work despite the "turnoffs".

Who knows, and yes I'll do fine and thank you.

Goodbye, farewell and amen (as he closes the books).

Yep. I've been reading a bit of your conversation with train. I can see how Carc and Aries are quite different in many ways but I think I could still see them as getting along. Aries is a good team player and while he is not an anti-hero and almost a nice guy to a fault he can become ruthless when people he cares about are endangered.

Carc is also a bounty-hunter first, am I right? So his casework is a bit different. Carc is always going after really nasty guys while Aries is a superhero first and just as likely to be called to help with a disaster such as a collapsed bridge or a fire as he is a supervillain.

Aries' costume is much more "Silver age" style. Not so much practical as trying to make an statement. Many of Train's characters are similar.

Carc is primarily a bounty-hunter as it's his income, but he's also the leader of the superhero team that's supposed to save the world. Also, a fair percentage of those after him are supervillains and superheroes (he IS controversial and has accumulated a LOT of baggage through the decades).

http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3041482/ has the best description of Carc.

Despite having some abilities, Carc would NEVER consider himself a "superhero". Carc could NEVER wear spandex or bright colors (except for the upcoming story where he takes on the Opposition in a rather nightmarish set of civvies). He's also difficult to get along with. He prefers to work alone, or with a TRUSTED friend. He does things HIS way and he LOVES to be large and in charge. Although he appears and acts like a brutal cigar-smoking wolverine, he's always finding weaknesses to exploit and thinks like Batman (in the scene I'm working on now where Carc squares off against Devlin, it would've been easy for Carc to start a brawl, but he defuses the situation by relieving Devlin of his breathing apparatus and returns it to him in a gesture of truce).

Hokay, your turn.

Exactly. Carc is a superhero but never thought of himself as one nor tries to act like one. Carc plays to win and uses his own set of rules which is perfect for his character as it has always worked in the past. He trusts only himself and his abilities having seen the way the world often works.

Aries was given the job of being a superhero and is trying to look and act the part as best he understands it. He is a bit naive and trusting and that is his biggest weakness. Aries could be easily duped by a pretty face or a clever ruse.

There are less than a handful of people Carc trusts. He trusts 'Slide and Sierra. In time he'll trust most of his "teammates". Considering the multitude of times Carc's been betrayed, it's no wonder.

Carc likes Aries because Aries used to be a "worker" (wrestler). Of course, Carc thinks Aries hasn't dwelled in darkness. There's a difference between a brawl and going after a supervillain who's the equivalent of the Red Skull. Carc doesn't need Aries trying to prevent him from killing someone in a firefight.

I can see that. Still, differences like that make for good story which is after all based on conflict.

Well...Carc and the gang are ready for whoever wants to collab. However, after the recent situation, I'll be VERY selective in who I collab with.

Hokay...I should amend the previous statement. After what happened last night, I'm beyond tired of continuous disappointments. So I won't team up with anyone re Carc & 'Slide (I just notified  train). After all, I won't disappoint myself.

Thanks hon...I was looking for this.

No charge, dear lady.

they really do look grate together like this. grate job as always egg

thanks much!

Aries is probably up for the task, James on the other hand....

james would be losing his mind.

Very much so, he'd probably be there constantly going "Must think happy thoughts, must think happy thoughts." =P
Still, better then possibly losing his soul with Nightmare.

So who would be the strongest here?

Tough to call. I'd say Lady Liberty is overall more powerful than Aries just because she has most of his powers plus a bunch more plus weapons and training.I can't remember Dame Freedom's very well.

Aries is the strongest of the Zodiac team and only the Crabbot of Cancer's is tougher though he is a close second.

Star spangled

Rocket's red glare

But of course Ebonyleopard.

Ohh now that's an impressive team-up!

I love this team up.

This is FREAKIN AWESOME!!!!

Aries is a VERY, VERY lucky man!!!

Excelllent work, Egg!!!

Yes, HE is very lucky.

thanks

You must make a killing off of just the commissions TRAIN gives you. xD Nice work, by the way. I never really say anything, but I love watching what you and TRAIN come up with.

He does well. though I must look you up.

You might be able to list him as a dependent on your tax returns.

Uh please.

Thanks. Train is definitely my most frequent customer. If I had a few more like him, I might have more of a shot of making a career of doing just this but I would have to charge more. I'm not sure how my rates match up with other artists that do commissions.

Your desc expresses some doubt, but it looks like Aries is handling himself really well, here; I have faith in him ^_^

He's OK, just nervous.

The only hybrids I like are these.Cheers to Train and Eggplant

:)

He needs a ladysheep. for there's only one ewe.....

It's really impossible to do anthro art without the puns isn't it? I was fighting to keep from saying something about his "sheepish grin"

Considering some of the "Wags" in the fandom? not really. with this pic, for example, on one side, you could be Horsing around, and on the other, well, you have someone who is Deer to him...

Hah, good point

Its great to be a hero.

Oh yes.

America never looked so good! :u

These three look great together, Egg; I really like Dame's braided hair! ;3

He seems like he is a lucky one :D Great picture!

Quite an impressive group! They definitely go well together. Very nice. :)
