Upholdin' The Law Dothraki-Style!

"You're in violation of the law. Cease at once, or I rip your beating heart from your chest!"
My friends and I were discussing how awesome it would be if Khal Drogo returned to life as the bearded lower face of justice: Drogocop. Just a quickie before I go to bed.

Superman Redesign Template 3

Lines

My third template for a Superman redesign. *gasp* It's a cape-deficient version! It was fun to explore, but I'm not sure that Superman can be Superman without his cape, no matter how useless it is hahaha. I do like the super huge chest emblem though, so I may play with that with future designs. I like the color scheme for #4 on the left, but it reminds me of Captain cold or Quicksilver.

 This is my second template for a Superman Redesign project and I'm stiiill undecided about the chest emblem. This design is a little busier than the 1st template I made but I sorta liked the medallion studs on his cape, I thought it classed him up a little but ultimately he does not need it haha. For #4 on the right, I made his bodysuit primarily black because I was reminded by the Return of Superman outfit he wore when he...well...returned from the dead...with his mullet. I'll clean up another rough so I can play around with the colors so look forward to that!

 This is the template that I favored over the rest, although I'm still undecided about his chest emblem. I still plan on cleaning up some of the other rough designs I had made to see if they would work better than this one. I think by introducing some flat blacks on his costume, it made Superman look bolder and intimidating...almost oppressive, an idea that's been explored before I'm sure, but I just love the idea of Superman being SUPER intimidating even though he's a little goody-goody. I'm still on the fence about the "Yellows" on his costume, weather I should keep them yellow or  a metallic gold instead.

Superman Redesign Color Samples

Superman © DC Comics
My designs for a Superman redesign. For all of these I kept the Red, Blue, Yellow(Gold!) color scheme of the original, but I also started playing with a more grayish blue and some black. I prefer the older (age-wise) Superman look that Alex Ross created for the Kingdom Come comic book and the Superman design for Batman Beyond so I borrowed from them in terms of the face and head. I still have about 5 days so I may explore more color schemes. As for the design itself, I think #8 is my winner, although I'm still liking 1 and 2's chest emblem.

Spider-Man and Superman Rough Redesigns

Some were drawn in last night's Drink 'n Draw, and some were not. I've yet to choose a final template that I like for Spider-Man, but I may have decided on which template to use for Superman. We'll see how it goes once I start blocking in some colors.

EXCEED GEAR- Gun Thumbnails 1

I've been meaning to do some weapon thumbnails lately so I'm glad I finally got to do them. I need to do more of these, it gets the brain going and is great practice.

Darkseid Clean

Another cleaned up version of my Darkseid sketch from my recent trip to a drink 'n draw with Robert and Alain. I need to do more original artwork and step away from all the fan arts starting today!
