He looks so grandiose, yet so badass with some nice 'tude.

The highlights on the boots too add that Kirbyness to it that adds some pop. You've taken the WW Orion design and improved it!

I like his historic fancy military look.

well ... here's more. Bwahahahaha!


Party on Mars Colony: Fist meets Despero's face!

I always find these so hilarious when I finish them.

so, Counterclockwise from lower left is Nam'Lor with the big N on his chest. His costume needs some work. To say the least. I tried to put a little Power Girl in there though. Idk why.


Then Gear, Peebs (front and center), Helio (Peebs New God friend)... who is having an identity crisis because he is so dark! (he shoudl be blond and fair) but that's what happens when you dont test out the markers first. ... and ... I designed his costumed mid drawing to be more like Atlee/Terra (Power Girl's sidekick) ... than someone with fire or energy powers which we have loads of. It's not working so far but ...

then Jerry ... oh and in the back ... obsured from view is THE Dave Hackett.

and then down at the bottom ... Despero ... who's head turned out wonky because the fool dosn't have a nose to organize everything off of. I took some artistic license with Jerry and Gear's costumes.

I am off to bed now.

I really enjoy your Kirby work, Power Boy. I have consulted with Cobalt Kid, and we would be thrilled to have you draw a couple of our characters. Would you be able to draw something for us?

I am thinking of maybe a scene with Cobalt Kid and Question Lad fighting some random monsters/villains (whichever is easier to draw) in an old mansion.

I think you may be overestimating my skills ... lol


what does Question Lad look like?

I can imagine CK looks like Cosmic Boy more or less.

Question Lad's physical appearance would be like Sunspot. His costume would be similar to Fire Lad's modern costume. It should have a heavy emphasis on yellow or green and black (reds and oranges okay). I've described him as wearing a domino mask recently.

so I did the drawing before I got your last post ES. I tried to color him like Fire Lad ... I went with the Kirbyesque costume. body armor, visor instead of domino mask, lines, one sided cape ... etc. and I made him look like he had short pants to emphasize the lad in him. (his hair and face too)

I went for a scooby doo haunted house.

and for CK, I wanted him to look futuristic, like his whole outfit is an alloy ... that he can melt off and on as the ladies desire. The only thing I had to go off of was Cosmic Boy ... and that CK has a coat. So I made the coat futuristic complete with a cloak type back, and built in gloves. and then he has some extra metal orbs he can fire off as weapons ... in case there is no metal around.

... and of course the crazy succubus is going after CK.

I've been obsessed with PowerGirl and Huntress today ... my only DC comic.

[Linked Image]


So I had three things in mind:

1) Retro costumes. takes on old Supergirl and Robin costumes.

2) I was going to say opposites of current Supergirl and Robin costumes but they really didnt give me much to play off of.

3) I wanted Huntress and Power Girl to have costumes that played off each other, they are all they have of their old world, and they are both brilliant so it makes sense they would swap tech and weapons.



.. so this version of Huntress didn't turn out as good as my initial sketch but, I wanted to get rid of all the white ... she relies on subterfuge it makes sense she wouldn't wear a big ass cross in white on her chest unless she is a weirdo vampire hunter or knight templar.

She's got a flack jacket type front shirt, not the sexiest but I wanted to get rid of a lot of the sexiness from these women's costumes ... their classic costumes are pretty striper ish.

But Huntress has lots of blades on her, like at her ankles ...people always shove knives in their boots right. and her bow is like a batarang. Also, I think she has been drawn way too butch in the current comic ... she is half Catwoman .. she should be more lithe.


and for Power Girl, I ditched the white, 'cause It dosnt work for me. and she's got a shirt that opens or closes ... shes invulnerable to the weather so who knows how warm she is from day to day. also I originally wanted to say ... "I've got legs too" but as the pen flew ... her breasts turned out big! haha.

The slashes on their arms and legs came from the "w" that often accompanied the tops of lots of heroes like Superman's boots. but I exaggerated it.

It may not seem like it but Power Girl started from Supergirl's 70s-80s long sleeves and hot pants outfit and Huntress started from Dick Grayson's classic Robin outfit.

Thank you very much for the drawing. I especially like the details on the throne, it looks like something in a Dr. Strange comic book. You should try more abstract things like this in the future, it looks really cool.

to go along with the RP Peebs is on now.

I gave Peebs some sunglasses. I think it really suits him.
