art dump #180 - Static Shock [2]
STILL TOO LAZY TO POST REAL CONTENT so I'll just keep dumping art here till I run out.
Actually I wish I'd posted these 2 here at the time they were drawn cuz they were in memory of Dwayne McDuffie's passing. Thanks Dwayne for creating one of my earliest favorite cartoon/comic book characters.
WARNING: TL;DR AHEAD
This was my submission for the Static redesign challenge for Dwayne McDuffie Week at Project: Rooftop. Notes on the design: I actually am rather fond of Static’s official costume (esp. the 2nd/latest one) and I love how functional, simple and stylistically distinctive it is. It’s a bit ‘hood, and a bit tough, without being pretentious or silly. I definitely wanted to keep that tough, streetwise feeling but update it so it’s more 2011: zip up sweatshirt with an oversized collared hood, cargo pants, hi-top sneakers, sports shades. The long overshirt thing’s a bit silly but I wanted him to still have something billowy that isn’t a coat. Shortened his dreads to be more manageable/sensible, and the way I see it, when he changes into Static he “charges up” once all over and his hair would Super Saiyan a little bit. The gloves have metallic (aluminum based?) pads on the palms and undersides of fingers cuz, well if you think about it, leather/rubber/latex are insulators, no? Why on earth would he wear gloves made out of insulating material? So yeah. I'm also bummed I forgot to give him a utility belt :(
/END TL;DR
Drew this a while back and forgot I never posted it. College age Virgil and Richie. I imagine Richie would grow up into 1 of 2 aesthetic styles: either Jensen from The Losers (scruffy and dorky but pretty buff; upon further consideration Richie struck me as a... fleshier sort of guy) or a hipster, as shown in this picture. I could actually see Richie turning into Jensen more than I can see him turning hipster. I JUST WANTED TO DRAW A HIPSTER RICHIE okay
