As I told you in my journal, I decided to experiment with the russian constructivism. (Looks like experimenting with Sumi-e is not enough for me, hell yeah) So I did, here it is.

Some of you will remember Z-Hero, the superhero parody of Superman I did for my project. He's an alien from a parallel dimension who came to avoid a phenomenon called "The Death of the Universe". He landed in a undetermined place of western Europe, and grew up as James Lash in a fictitious city called "New Archadia".
Looking for a nice theme to make a deviation with a constructivist feeling, I though "what if Z-Hero had landed in Russia instead of western Europe?"

So I started this, a page of a fake comic called "Virtualities" (in the style of Marvel's "What if?" or DC's "Elseworlds"). This (false) first number tells the virtual story of what would have happened if Z-Hero had fall on Russia.

I know nothing about russian language, so excuse me as I delberately called it 3-Hero (being "3" not a three but a "Ze" in cyrilic alphabet) instead of Z-Hero. I couldn't imagine a cool name in russian.

The fonts are:
Kremlim (by Vic Fieger)
Kyrilla Bold (by Manfred Klein)
Soviet (by Iconian Fonts)

Z-Hero (c) Germán Corbacho Carrobles

Other Virtualities:
Nº2: What if Man-Machine was built by russian scientists

Hey, man, the idea is nice, I like it, but it's not russian style. ;)

And btw, I can suggest you to change the name. "3-HEЯO"...in Russian I can read it as "Z-Nejaro" or smth like that.
If u want to use real russian letters (or at least they would look like russian), u should write "З-Херо". However, in Russian "Hero" sound really...really bad. So, actually translation of "Hero" is "Герой".
..Don't know if u need it really)
Anyways, good luck ;)

Thank you very much for the information! I don't really know a thing about russian laguage, but the thing is that the original english name of the hero is Z-Hero, which sounds like "Zero". A Play on words that I'm afraid it's near to impossible to translate to russian.
But actually, thanks for the advice. I'll take note of that.
