I have a thread in the Sequential Art section, but these are my pictures that weren't comic pages. These are more like sketches, ideas, thumbnails, and just pictures I did for fun. Nothing really serious.
I hope you guys enjoy them.

Heres the first of MANY Ultimate Night Stalker's sketches.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/ultimatenightstalkersjpg.jpg
It centers around Johnny Blaze, who is a young 20 something guy who discovedrs his bloodline comes from the demon of vengeance named Noble Cane. Not only that but he is half demon and with the aid of the talismund (spelling?) transforms into the demon of vengeance called Ghost Rider. Ghost Rider is almost unstoppable and only controlled by the talismund. If freed he would rain vengeance on the whole world.
Also on the team is Satana, a young college girl who claims to be a demon. In actuallity she is a demon possessing a young college girl. She has demon strength, speed, endurance and healing, and slight control over fire. She doesnt know why she is on Earth.
Then there is the last young team member, although the most experienced of the tree. Blade, the half vampire. He is sort of like the movie version only a teenager.
The adults on the team include Whistler, Blade's father figure and partner on their war on vampires. These days however Whistler is fighting on the streets less and less.
Then there is Morbius, the team's inside man. He is their snitch sort of. He gets the inside word that they can't from the demonic world.
Finally there is Dr. Strange, the man who formed this sort of group, if thats what you can call it.
Helping from the side lines is Dr. Strange's daughter and his apprentice.
In the picture you can also see sketches of Brother Voodoo, a colleague of Dr. Strange
coming soon, once I find it, are the allies of the Ultimate Night Stlakers and the enemies including Ultimate versions of Hellstrom, Blackout, Jack O'Lantern, Bellasco, Mephisto, Baron Mordo, Mr. Hyde, and others.

Concepts for Ultimate Ghost Rider
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/ghostrider2copy.jpg
His a big imposing guy, inbelievabley strong with never ending regenerating ability, and slight telekinesis. and of course his ability to make his enemies feel all the pain they have caused and live though what they have put others though.
notice the sketch of his costume damaged. I think he is a flaming sketelon under his costume but his costume would also regenerate.
another sketch of Satana.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/satana.jpg
some enemies sketches.
Damien Hellstromm the first villian they face.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/hellstrom.jpg
a rich blond pretty boy, with a satan symbol carved on his chest and demonic writing tatooed on his back. He too claims to be a demon possessing a human body. He is the son of Satan, or Mephisto, sent to Earth to sacrafice six innocent people so that his father can come to Earth. Satana, as it turns out, is his sister. He has all the same powers as she does.
Jack O'Lantern
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/jackolantern.jpg
He is a hired hitman, and criminal, who does anything for money. He has an unlimited, it seems, supply of technoloy and weapons, and uses a Holloween motife as his disgues.
Blackout.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/blackout.jpg
a homocidal maniac who killed for fun and had no remorse, and that was before he was turned into a vampire. He is hired to either get Ghost Rider to join the dark side or to kill him. He doesnt care about life at all, human or vampire, and will kill someone when he is board.
still to come Ultimate Lillith the daughter of Dracula, and Ultimate Dracula. and Ultimate Mephisto.

another sketch of Brother Voodoo
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/nightstalkersenemies2.jpg
Some villians and heroes.
Ultimate Night Hawke is a hero who has the ability to see into the future. But he cannot control how far, it could be years or minutes. Because of this power he has become a pessamist and wont leave his home. Still compelled tyo help people he uses the internet and the screen name Night Hawke, this is how he comes into contact with the Night Stalkers.
Damien Hellstrom was already discussed, but here you can see the writing on his back.
Next is Baron Mordo, sorcerer servant of Durmammu who gives him all his powers. He and Strange where both up for the title of Sorcerer Supreme but Strange got it.
Hannibal King is a New York cop who discovers the world of demons and monsters. He is just a man but a constant aid to the Stalkers.
and Mr. Hyde who might have a connection to the Hulk and the Captain America formula.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/dracula.jpg
Dracula, awakend from his tomb when Ghost Rider emerges. He quickly takes over as king of the vampires. His daughter Lillith tries to lure Blade to the dark side, but she isnt just pretending to like him.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/ultimatemephisto.jpg
Mephisto, while his plan failed to free him when Satana killed Hellstrom's human body and sent his demon form back to Hell, he can still visit Earth in his human form just without his powers. He still isnt defeated, and may some day come to Earth to rule. He has the additude like Christopher Walken. He doesnt have to do anything and you just know he is dangerous and not to be messed with.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/bellasco.jpg
Bellasco is a demon who served along side Mephisto until Mephisto got fed up with him and trapped him in Limbo. Somehow one of the members of the Night Stalkers frees him or is sent to Limbo. He is bald and skinny from no food, and hair from not being able to shave. He has been alone for centuries and is very clingy.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/wendigo.jpg
The Wendigo is a creature that craves human blood and flesh. It happens when a man eats the flesh of another man. Now this creature is roaming the streets of new york, and bodies start popping up.

http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/ultimatemasterpandamonium.jpg
Master pandimonium, a sorcerer who is stopped by Strange and the Night Stalkers. He has demon arms, maybe he sacraficed his own to Mephisto (the devil) to get more power and in return was given demon arms.
Scarecrow, not pictured yet, is a regular human serial killer who wears a berlap sack type mask and uses a pitch fork.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/gabrielthedevilhunter.jpg
Ultimate Gabriel the Devil Hunter: He originally apeared in FF, but in the Ultimate world he goes here with ultimate Night Stalkers. Gabriel was a finally happy, after a life of pain and sadness he found someone who loved him. The two got married but on their wedding night a demon took control of him and forced him to murder his wife and rip out his own eye before he forced it out of himself by burning his chest with a cross. The cops blaimed him but couldnt exactly pin it on Gabrial. he went into hiding in the Church where he also became a an Exorsist. He went after the monsters that killed his love. He never thought it would hapen but years later Gabrial fell in love again, he left the church for his new love only to have her killed by another demon. This time Gabriel was truly alone. with no church to go to, no friends to turn to, and on the run from the cops. He had had enough. Now he hunts them, using any means nessicary, holy water, crosses, shot guns, and exorsisms. The one eyed, scarred up, man with a cross burn on his chest will do whategver it takes to kill all the dark forces. He is also a heavy drinker.
Gabriel is at times a friend and at other times a foe to the Night Stalkers. He thinks they are monsters too but will team up with them if he has to.

I think there are more Ultimate Night Stalker pictures somewhere, but for now...
ULTIMATE ALPHA FLIGHT
Weapon Alpha
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/ultimatevindicater.jpg
Agent Hudson, much like Tony Stark, is the operater of Canada's ultimate weapon. created using Stark's blueprints, Weapon Alpha is used only in rare ocassions. Most of the time Hudson wears his Alpha Flight SWAT type gear like the others. Hudson however is one of Department H's top agents and leader of its number one team Alpha Flight.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/ultimatenorthstar.jpg
Ultimate Northstar, code name, and hjs sister whose name escapes me right now.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/ultimatepuck.jpg
Agent Puck, code name, a short French Canadian mutant with incredible acrobatic abilities.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/ultimatesasquach.jpg
Ultimate Sasquatch, his mutation is similar to Beasts. He is incredibly intellegent but stands at 8 feet and covered in hair, he is super strong and adgile. He can never return to his human form.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/ultimateshamman.jpg
Shamman (spl?) a mutant with mystic powers to control plant growth.
Also pictured is the teams former Weapon X, Logan.
The team is called on to recapture Agent Logan who dissapeared years ago. The Alpha Flight team is highly organized and combat ready, but are barely come out of the battle with Logan alive.
Not part of Alpha Flight, ULTIMATE NAMOR makes an apearnce in Ultimate Fantastic Four.:ff:
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/ultimatenamor.jpg
Ultimate Namor, more fish like in apearence. He has a fin along his spine, fins on his forearms, and calves, and small fins on his ankles instead of feathered wings. fins under his arms connecting the skin on his back and skin on the back of his arms. His fingers and toes are also webbed. His ears are more fins like and attatch to his jaw, they are also formed for living under water. Under his ears/jaw and gills for breathing under water. His eyes are also formed for seeing under water. but he is different from the rest of the Atlantians, he also has lungs for breathing on land (2 sets of lungs, or lungs with two sections for under water and on land) Because of living under water his whole life his body is incredibly fit. He can jump higher than any man, and is physically stronger. His skin is also much tougher than human skin, tough like shark skin and maybe a little tougher.
Part of his apearnce is his kidnapping of Sue Storm, and maybe possibly possing a threat to America with a nuclear strike.

Terry McGunnis as Robin.
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y138/artistsean/terry.jpg
my thinking is Terry used the Robin cotume when he wanted to go out and train against average thugs. So that it wasnt just the bat suit.

A lot of these ideas are brilliant! I particularly like the Crisis send-up. The art is a bit rough in places, but it looks like you're heading in the right direction.
Nice stuff. I love the T1-Batman! Hilarious! Your style's very nice.

Thank you so much, I love making up ideas for comics.
Most of these are rough because I am not getting paid for them. So I bust out the ideas to my liking and move on, most of these are done in my spare time or when I should be doing other things.
If I was getting paid for this I would ABSOLUTELY push them to finished.
Thanks for liking them, and keep checking back in because I am still posting stuff.
Like...
Here are my Ultimate Inhuman sketchs,
Black Bolt
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/ultimateblackbolt.jpg
He is their King, he is a kindly and just ruler but isnt affraid to lead his army into war. He is silent because just one whisper can destroy mountains.
Medussa
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/ultimatemedussa.jpg
His queen, who came from a different kingdom, and their marrying brought the two together. Her family, or people, wear blue face paint. maybe.
Her mutant ability is to control each stran of her incredibly long hair as if it were a tentical.
Carnac
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/ultimatecarnac1.jpg
Canac is King Blackbolts political advisor. He has the ability, mutant ability, to see the flaws in anything, to see its weakest point. He is also related to Medussa, maybe her cousin.
Gorgon
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/ultimategorgon.jpg
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/ultimategorgon2.jpg
Gorgon is Blackbolts war official, or something like that. He trains the troops, and advises Blackbolt on tactics. He is also their official in charge of keeping the peace in their kingdom.
Triton
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/ultimatetriton2.jpg
Triton is their under water representative, and close friend of Blackbolts since before Blackbolt got married. He is a Underwater dweller with the mutant ability to breath on land for short amounts of time.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/ultimatetritonandmaximus.jpg
Maximus, Blackbolts brother. Despite being older that Blackbolt he was not made king. He was passed over, and for the longest time it was believed he had no mutant abilities. But recently it apears he has gained some, he now has the power to influence peoples minds, to sway their thoughts to his favor. He has attempted to userp the trhone before, and this caused his exile. Now he returns, slightly insane, with an army to declare war on the Inhuman Kingdom.
Lockjaw is the Ryaol Family's pet dog. He is a giant Bulldog with the mutant ability to create portals.
The King and Queen also have a young daughter, who has yet to show any mutant abilities.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/ultimateinhumansscenery.jpg
They are hidden away, thanks to other Inhuman's mutant powers. They have kept to themeslves and anyone who crosses into their kingdom never returns to the real world. They are forever lost in time, it seems more like midevil times or Roman times, I dont know the dates, more than the year 2000. Although some technology is used, most of the technology is their own but some comes from the intruders who later becme citizens of the Inhuman Kingdom.
In my story the Four, while exploring using their flying bathtub looking ship, crash near the Inhuman Kingdom and stumble apon this world. They are then guests of the royal family. But while they visit an attempt on Blackbolts life starts a war between the Inhumans and Maximus and his forces.

Its Iron Man armor for an idea I had I think in high school. it was all the marvel heroes turned into 50s style scary movies.
Tony Stark became Dr. Frankinstien and Iron Man became Adam, Frankinstien's monster. Bruce Banner and the Hulk became Dr. Jeckel and Mr. Hyde. Peter Parker became like the fly or one of those stires where the character mutates into a giant insect. So Peter becomes a giant Spider that terroizes the city and is shot down by the army.
Ant Man became the incredible Shrinking Man, and Wasp became the 50 foot woman.
Skrulls became war of the worlds or invasion of the body snatchers.
Namor became the creature from the Black Lagoon.
Nick Fury became James Bond.
Thunderbolt Ross became the obligitory army bad guy sent to stop monsters.
None of them were super heroes in these stories and none had costumes.
Anyway, heres Tony Stark's Iron Man Monster.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/frankinarmor.jpg
Star Trek Preditor, although Im not a fan of Star Trek. But I used to really like the Preditor.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/terkpreditor.jpg
My finished "Marvel's Crisis on Infinite Earths"
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/crisis.jpg
as finished as its ever gonna be.
Heres one of the :ff: ULTIMATE Fantastic Four costume designs I did. I also have Dr. Doom and one of his Doombots.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/ultimateff.jpg
Its not the FF costume I think I ultimately went with for my version. Mine had alot of pockets like a Dickies jump suit. I also put a SHEILD logo on their shoulder instead of 4, since they already had one on their chest. And I wanted Dr. Doom to look more royal so I had gold trim around his hood and cape, and ingravings on his armor.
But this is one of the sketches, now if I could only find the others.

Ultimate Bishop
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/ultimatebishopalligot.jpg
this is the only picturte I can find, and may be the only one Ill find from Bishop sketches for a long time.
My Ultimate Bishop is a man who winds up on the X-Men's door step claiming to be from the future. His mind is so frazled, from time travel he claims, that Xavier and Jean can't read his mind. Other clues point to it possibly being true. Like his tattered dusty clothes having an X-Men logo on the sleeve.
He has a M on his forehead to classify him as a mutant, and a bar code on his arm or back of his neck to keep track of him, things all mutants were forced to have. In the future, he tells them, the war was started between humans and mutants. Mutants are now forced to live in camps or work for the humans keeping mutants in line, like he did, until he joined the rebellion. he came to warn them. signs also point to him lieing, he has a prison record but keeps dissapearing from his cell.
But it is never clear if hes from the future or not.
sketches of what Ultimate Weapon X might of looked like when he was with Alpha Flight.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/ultimateweaponx.jpg
Bruce Timm style Universe X
Mar-vell
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/mar-vell.jpg
I found this I did a while ago, but it goes along with our recent contest.
What if Logan and Cyclops switched bodies?
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/loganandscottswitchbodies.jpg
They were fighting and about to kill each other, and the combined force of Xavier's power and jean's power switched their minds.
Now Scott's in Logan's body and has his powers, and Logan's in Scott's and has Scot's optic blast. They each learn to deal with this perminant change. Scott, in Logan's body, stands up straight and gets a hair cut and logan, in scotts body, slouches more and stops shaving.
Jean also starts dating Logan, because scott's in the body.
I dont like the costume but I like the idea.

Ultimate JSA
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/ultimateJSA1.jpg
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/ultimateJSA2.jpg
Ultimate JSA: Sometime during World War II a covert team of super heroes were put together to aid in the war. Their missions were secret, as were their identities. No files were kept and no photos were ever taken. They officially didn’t exist let alone work for the Government. Their story was kept silent, forgotten until this day.
Most citizens believed them to be myths and superstition anyway, few had actually ever seen them. It was the same reaction when they were enlisted. Soldiers who met them thought they were publicity stunts, like they thought captain America was in the Ultimates story, the others who hadn’t seen them thought it was a rumor being passed around to help boost moral. Even fewer actually saw them in action, their orders were to move in and move out keeping a low profile. And since this was war they did have to kill enemy soldiers, like Ultimate Captain America.
This was very easy for one of their super soldiers, Jay Garret, I think was his name. He was code named the Flash. He had the super ability to run faster than the speed of light. He could run so fast it was nearly impossible to see him in the fight. His soldier’s uniform was customized to help him be fast, and the design also helped for when people did see him. His shirt was bright red and had a yellow lighting bolt on it; if anyone ever did see him they would surly assume they were seeing things. This Flash is the grandfather of the current Flash. He passed the mantel of the Flash to Barry after Barry’s inactive abilities he inherited from his grandfather were activated by the Venom in Luther Labs. Barry converted the costumes design and became the new Flash. Flash is the average Joe on the team, he may run fast but he just a regular guy fighting alongside gods.
Jay, if that’s his name, is also equipped with army weapons and supplies. He uses guns, grenades, and anything else he is given.
Maybe his code name is Johnny Quick, and not Flash. Barry comes up with the name flash, but the costume and the fastest man alive mantel is passed to Barry.
The second team member was a soldier named Allan Scott, a man who possessed a ring that allowed him to make his imagination come to life. Allan was a railroad worker who found the ring one day. Little did he know that the ring had actually chosen him. When asked what code name he was using the ring told him Green Lantern. Since the ring takes a lot of energy and concentration from the wearer, and since he didn’t know about the GL corps, Allan didn’t really have a costume. Allan is the veteran super hero. He swoops in with his ring and is prepared for anything. He isn’t the leader, but he isn’t inexperienced either.
The final member was actually the leader. She was an Amazon from the island of Themascara, and her daughter would later come to “Man’s World” as a spy for the Amazons. She code named her Wonder Woman. She came to Man’s world under the guise that she was sent to teach man how to live in peace. Perhaps it wasn’t a guise at all. But because of all the death, hate, murder, rage, and fighting, she saw during the war she believed that Man’s World was evil. Which is why she later sent her daughter to spy, and similar to their island thought the best solution was to kill off all the men. Wonder Woman was like Namor was in the Invaders. She acted sort of snobby and above it all. But she was a born leader and warrior, and seemed to care about helping.
As the mission went on, and because they were sort of isolated for anyone else, the team grew closer. Flash and Green Lantern became best friends. Wonder Woman began to truly care for her two teammates, and the rest of Man’s World. But a final mission would change all that. Her costume was very similar to the Golden Age costume, mixed with the Ultimate version Wizard created. She was red white and blue, and had some Amazonian armor and weapons, including swords and a shield and lasso.
They were banded together to simply fight for America but later it was discovered that the Nazis were trying to created their own super soldiers, and were getting very close. One mission they were sent on was to rescue a Sgt. Rock who was captured. Their mission was to infiltrate the lab fortress and destroy it and anything or anyone that could rebuild the project. But little did they know that one soldier was already complete.
Their final battle would be against the Captain Nazi.
In the end Allan Scott, Earth’s original Green Lantern, died fighting the Captain Nazi. His stopped the Nazi and destroyed any possibility of recreating him, but it also turned Wonder Woman into the Man’s World hater that she took back the her island. Maybe there was a possible love story there or almost was one. The only one who ever new about any of this was Flash who kept it secret until this day, when he told his grandson Barry.
And like I stated earlier, Barry later took up the mantel of the Flash, a new Green Lantern was chosen from Earth, and Dianna Troy became the new Wonder Woman and she later saw that Man’s World was not evil and decided to fight for it and not against it.

Here is a character i thought could go with the ultimate Namor story
Ultimate Finn
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/ultimatefinprotectorofthecrown.jpg
He was a soldier in a war, like wwII, who was lost. But he dident die, he became an Atlantian. He discovered he could breath under water and in the air, he was a mutant before the world knew about mutants. He became Protector or the Crown, and was the personal body guard of namor since his youth.
I sketched out some Ultimate Spider-Man characters a while ago, how I thought they could look. Now Ultimate Spider-Man is including Ultimate Vulture, but heres my idea for him before it comes out.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/ultimatevulture1.jpg
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/ultimatevulture2.jpg
Its a flight suit, maybe he was a scientist for Stark Enterprises, when they were trying to build a armored flight suit. This was his design. A suit with bird like wings connected to the arms and renforced spine That also covers the chest, and straps around the waiste and crotch area. But he was fired when the company downsized or because he became aggressive when they turned down his idea.
Then I thought of a character who could go along with this idea, Tombs still wanted to build the suit, and rub it in Stark's face. But he didnt have any money. So his assistant and garage mechanic helped him rob banks to build up their funds. Tombs built a simple helicopter design flight suit for his assistant.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/ultimatevulture3_thebeetle.jpg
The beetle flight pack. But he was such a bad criminal that the cops and Spider-man were able to track him back to Tombs' lab. But Tomb's had already gotten enough money to build his own suit.
Redwing also has a similar slight suit, but maybe its just a coincedence. Or maybe both Redwing and Tombs worked on the same design together.
Then there is Ultimate Kraven, who had already apeared once and was more of a joke. He was quickly defeated by Spider-Man and put in jail.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/ultimatekraven.jpg
My idea was for him to come back after breaking out of prison and be completely obsessed with Spider-man. He spent all is time in prison obsessing and training his hunting skills, picking fights, and building muscle. Even though he is just a human he is now more a threat to Spider-Man.
Then I though of a version of him they could have used. Ultimate Kraven could have been an ultimate hunter and tracker who wanted to track and kill spider-man for the thrill. He cpould have been so well trained in fighting, tracking, hunting, and have such high tech weapons for hunting and tracking that it would be a real ordeal for Spider-man to just get away for a second. he could have followed Spider-Man all over the city hunting him.
Ultimate Chamelion
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/ultimatechamelion1.jpg
He was the Soviet Union's top spy/assassin/special agent. He under went surgery to eliminate his finger prints, and any recognizable features on his face, so that he could better spy for his country. He even eliminated any trace of his past including his name, any pictures of himself or his family, he even burned down the home he grew up in. There was absolutley nothing connecting him to his former life. But when the cold war ended he lost the only thing in his life that mattered to him now, his job. Angry and bitter he then went into hiding and became a agent for hire, willing to spy, steal, or assassinate for a high price. He is Russia's most wanted criminal, but his jobs take him all over the world. SHEILD has tracked him several times but has never been able to catch him. But a new job will bring the Chamelion right into SHEILD, someone has ordered him to assassinate Nick Fury. But during the job Spider-Man gets in the way.
Then I thought of a different approache. Maybe he still under went sugery, but now no one knows what he looks like.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/ultimatechamelionhidden1.jpg
Every shot of him conceals his face. The only times his face isnt hidden is when he is in disguise. Sometimes he wears a metal like mask to conceal his face, mostly because he doesnt like himself.
So maybe sometime soon they will have Ultimate Chamelion. Maybe he could first be introduced in the ultimates.

12-29-2006, 04:07 AM
This is a character which Im not sure Id want to see in Ultimate X-Men, but only if they used him in a way that didnt reveal to the world, or even to the X-Men i guess, that aliens exist.
Ultimate Gladiator
and the Ultimate Shiar aliens
the Shiar aleins are more bird like in apearnce. Their hair is more feather like, and they have more feathery hair on their bodies. their finger nails are more like tallons, their noses are a little pointier.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/ultimateshiarandgladiator.jpg
Heres his character,
He is Leader of the Imperial Guard, a team of soldiers and warriors with varying powers and fight to the death attitudes. The Shi’ar is a race of aliens who descended from birds, like Earth did with monkeys. So instead of hair they have some sort of feather hair on their bodies. Each member of the Shi’ar’s guard may have different powers but they all look like the same alien race, but only slightly mutated. Gladiator is a proud warrior who has dedicated his whole existence to the Royal family. He won’t make a move without their orders, and won’t stop with their orders until they tell him to. He is their best line of defense. His hand to hand combat is unmatched by any of the Shi’ar since he has been training for the Imperial Guard since he was six. His powers are incredible, he has super fast healing and his skin and body is so tough anyway that he could get hit by a semi and not get a scratch. He also has some telekinetic powers so he can levitate himself, and some objects. Along with his combat skills he is a master swordsman and is skilled in several other Shi’ar weapons. In his choice of wardrobe he wears the traditional Shi’ar Gladiator armor. Gladiator has never hesitated in killing anyone if he felt it was for the Empire. He never keeps track but his death count would be in the hundreds. He also has devastated homes, cities, and sometimes small planets. Gladiator is a silent soldier; his only down fall is his lack of free thinking. He never questions his orders or the wisdom of the ruler at the time. He has nothing else in his life, he spends all his time training, working out, fighting for the Shi’ar Empire, and training the Guard and recruits. His position in the Imperial Guard is like Nick Fury’s position in SHEILD. He is the head of the Imperial Guard; he puts the Guard together from recruits the Shi’ar royal family chooses. He trains them and organizes them, and organizes the missions. He is also in charge of protecting the royal family and the Shi’ar populace, royal family first. He has been trained for this position since birth. In the Shi’ar Empire individuals are trained for certain roles in society. The Shi’ar along with their feathery hair, they have sort of pinkish skin, rosier than people on Earth. Gladiator’s is a little paler. But he is constantly painting his face with dark purple or blue war paint. He also has a dark blue tribal tattoo on his arm and chest, signifying the role he has been groomed for. The Shi’ar is like the Vulcans on star Trek, I’m assuming because I’ve never really seen Star Trek, they are advanced beyond Earth in technology and their social structure sort of. Gladiator has a name, which is never used; it’s been so long since he has heard it or used it himself that he has forgotten it. His feather hair has been sheered into a Mohawk, but unlike his regular Marvel self, his Mohawk isn’t so big and perfectly cut. His is frayed at the ends and sort of wild like a birds tail feathers or a cockatoo’s head. His body has scars all over from the many battles, showing that he is nearly unkillable but not invulnerable.
I came up with a story that could work. Ultimate Gladiator is chasing after the Uni Power, or Captain Universe as he became known on Earth. The uni power, which has no body of its own, is jumping from life form to life form trying to build up strength and power. When it jumps into a body it take with it the memories and powers from the previous body. So for example, it jumps from Wolverine to Spider-Man. Spider-Man would then have all Wolverine's powers and memories while the uni power was in him, and only while its in him. Once it leaves all the powers and memories are gone. But say it then goes into Kingpin, then Kingpin has the memories and powers or Wolverine and Spider-Man, but only whiles its inside him. Once the Uni Power leaves the only thing the person feels is that memories and a part of them is missing, almost like they were asleep for a day.
The Gladiator is sent by the Shiar Empire to stop it, so that Earth doesnt learn about them or the other alein life that exists.
The Uni Power, using the heroes and villians of Earth, like spider-Man, Dr. Doom, Xavier, Magneto, Reed Richards, Thing, and hulk to gain power and fight the Gladiator. With each jump it gains that person's powers for good. When it jumps into Bruce Banner he become the Hulk, and Gladiator has to fight the Hulk who also has alot of other powers. When it jumps into Xavier he is able to talk to it, and have a conversation in his mind with it and learn who and what it is. But when it leaves him he forgets everything excpet that something was inside his mind.
In the end the Uni Power and the Gladiator leave Earth and no one even knows, excepts maybe a few people who saw or somehow remember, and no on knows that they are all sort of connected by the Uni power, by the transfering of powers and memories.
well that was alot of reading.
Next is Ultimate Deathlock
I saw a Ultimate Deathlocke in Spider-Man, But I thought I would design him a little differently.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/ultimatedeathlock2.jpg
First io thought that maybe he is a decaying corpse, a lifeless dead body with lots or wires and technology attactched and keeping him alive and moving.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/ultimatedeathlock3.jpg
Then I that that maybe there would be less technolody weaghing him down, and maybe his corpse is less decayed. He does have power packs, batteries, connected to him and haning off his belt like Logan when he was in Weapon X.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/ultimatedeathlock1.jpg
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/ultimatedeathlock4.jpg
Then i thought that maybe the bodies they used in the experimant were pretty fresh, no decay. Only the the wounds that killed them were there. I also thought maybe Deathlocke was the computer program that kept them alive and responded to the orderes, so the body wasnt alive at all. Then there was also several bodies used, experimented on. So Deathlocke has more than one body.
So thats the idea, Ultimate Deathlocke is a computer program used to reanimate dead soldiers and use them for covert missions. But the Deathlocke program got out of hand and developed artifical intellegence. Now it has control of over 20, or more, dead soldiers. It relays orders to the drones, similar to your brain relaying orders to your limbs, through satalites it pirates. Ultimate Deathlocke is sort of like Brainiac, he is a computer program but he uses bodies to do his work.

Ultimate Gargoyal
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/ultimategargoyal.jpg
I dont know wheather to make him a gargoyal brought to life, like he is in the comics, or if he should be some sort of new specias of creature the way Ive decided Ultimate Werewolf by night is.
Werewolf by Night is a man with the genetic defect, similar to the vampires in blade, that reverts him and his body to a wolf like state. Its like Vampires in how it spreads as well, its a genetic defeact that can also infect others by biting. Werewolves, also like vampires, are illergic to silver.

http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/theredeemers.jpg
The Redeemers.
They were villians when they were alive, some complete monsters. But now they are dead and before they can move on to the next plain of existance they have one more chance to save their souls. The team is called the Redeemers, and after a villian dies they must complete missions.
The team is lead by Thunderbird, an X-Men who sacraficed his own life to save others. To help lead the team and keep the villians from rioting his powers are multiplied and he is given extra powers.
The point of the team is to give villians a second chance to change their ways, some do and some dont. The ones who leave, who either pass on or are kicked off, are replaced by another dead villian who can redeem themselves. It would be interesting to see someone like Cyber go from being a complete monster to being a true hero. Then there are some who try to take control of the team, or go against the team. They are kicked out by Thunderbird and their second chance is taken away.
Its sort of like Exiles and the Thunderbolts but for the dead who need to pass on.
I was going to have Colossus lead the team, or replace Thunderbird down the line but he was brought back to life.
Its also a chance to see some really good characters who were killed off in action again.
This also sort of goes along with the comic book page I did (its posted in my Sequential Arts thread, link is listed below)

This is a Family Guy story board test,
They gave me the script for the scene, a character packet including background and props (thats where the house came from), real quick thumbnails of the scene, and a DVD of Seth Mc Farlene's favorite episodes.
I am posting it since it already aired.
http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r215/proneedham/house.jpghttp://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r215/proneedham/fam_212.jpghttp://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r215/proneedham/fam_312.jpg

http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r215/proneedham/story_board_three312.jpg
The script went something like:
Peter and Quagmire are setting up fire works in his backyard while Lois, and the rest of the family watch.
Lois: "Peter, I don't think this is a good idea."
Peter"Come on Lois, you sound just like Einstien when Luis and Clark drove the Millenuim Falcon Across the Sahara desert."
Lois: "What?"
Peter: "Precisely Lois, precisely."
Then there was this big scene with Meg and Chris. Meg is sitting by the back of the house. Chris has some fire works. He starts throwing them at Meg and she runs around the tree and into the house. Chris then throws some at the door. I lost those pics, but I'll post the ones I find.

Thanks, glad you liked it. Working on it was fun, reasearch was nothing but watching every episode of Family Guy I had and practicingdrawing the characters, which I think I got down pretty well.
You probably did, it did air. But they cut the scene of Lois and Peter talking, what I story boarded here. The scene, I think, ended up going something like this...
Peter and Quagmire setting up fire works, Chris chases Meg around with fire works, and then Lois says to Peter, "I don't think this is a good idea." Then Peter blows off his hand with a fire cracker.
Wish I still had the scene I did of Meg being chased by Chris. It was very long and complex to do. But I lost it a while ago.

ULTIMATE DC
Batman, of sorts
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/ultimatebatman.jpg
I imagine he would be in all black, even his belt. With reinforced protection, like in the helmet, knee pads, shoulder pads, things like that. Alot like the Batman Begins costume i guess. This is the Batman from Wizard's Ultimate Batman, except with a different costume.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/ultimateazreal.jpg
Ultimate Azreal, he is John Paul Valley, heir of the Valley fortune. Bruce meets him at a rich man's club meeting when they were trying to recruit Bruce. Bruce declines, and to the club seals his fate. The club works together to make sure each others stocks go up, and that they all profit. This usually comes around by illegal activities. John Paul doesnt realize but he is their assassin. From a very young age he has been subliminally trained, like his father and his grandfather befpre him. Azreal, as the mantel is called, is the club's personal hitman. and he has been ordered to kill Bruce Wayne, little does he know that Bruce is actually Batman. His weapons of choice are his guns, or "Firey Swords"
(Ultimate Azreal was taken from the same comic that the Beast came from, he was Wolverine though.)
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/ultimatekillercroc.jpg
Ultimate Killer Croc, thug who was born with reptile like scales made of human skin cells, crocadile like teeth, eyes capable of seeing under water, lungs capable of holding breath longer than a human can, and razor sharp finger and toe nails that are almost like claws. he is also around 7 feet with strength to match. He is sort of like the Croc from the original Batman series.
(Croc was actually taken from a drawing of Ultimate Beast, the artist is great who did the original.)
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/ultimatecreeper1.jpg
Ultimate Creeper: Jack Ryder, Anchor man and Journalist, was kidnapped by the Joker. He is tortured, and experimented on by the Joker to turn him into a friend for the Joker. He is injected with the same chemicals, or similar chemicals, that the Joker was injected with to turn him into the Joker. Ryder's skin turns yellowish, his hair turns greenish black, and he dies. Joker dumps his failed experiment in the trash, but Ryder comes back to life, only now he is stronger, faster, more agile, and because of all the torture his mind is unstable. He is almost like a wild animal, he makes few words, and giggles uncontrollabley almost like a Hienna. But he seems to have a scense of right and wrong as he shows up from time to time to help Batman.
(I did this after doing alot of drawings of Glenn Keane's Tarzan)
Joker was made with a chemical from Lex Corp called Venom, which was derived from Clark Kent's DNA. Joker was one of several inmates experimented on, but the only survivor. he excaped and has since killed several people to please his deranged sence of humor.

12-31-2006, 04:54 PM
My idea here was to keep the DC Universe small, have many characters, or their powers, somehow connected to Superman (either his DNA, or his arrival on Earth). These are my own designs for the characters too.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/ultimateblackatomandbizarro.jpg
Lex Corp, as part of Project Gilgamesh, started their cloning program. Using Clark's DNA he created batches of clones, including his own DNA in a few. Captain Marvel is one of those clones, in the same batch is Black Atom, and Power Girl. In an earlier and unsuccessful batch was Bizarro, who is locked in the labs of Lex corps never to be released. While Captain Marvel was meant to be a publicity stunt like the Teen Titans, the idea was pushed under ground. Captain Marvel, Power Girl, and Black Atom, are super covert agents for Lex Luther. They move so fast that no one knows about them, except maybe clark. Captain Marvel is the only one out of the three successful clones that is starting to question his creators.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/ultimatehourmen.jpg
the Hour Men, as a part of Project Gilgamesh, Lex used Clark's DNA to create a chemical called Venom which was meant to make a man as powerful as Superman. After several failures, Joker, Bane, and others, the Hour Men were created. But their abilities only lasted for an hour, and some became addicted to the chemical, like Bane did to the venom that boosted his strength. Despite these minor flaws, as Lex puts them, the "Hour Men" are his personal SWAT Team. They all wear identical protective battle armor suits and timers on the inside of their wrists on their gloves t let them know when their powers will be gone. The pour out of vans and helicopters when lex calls on them. They are the Lex Corp soldiers that the public knows about.

Ultimate Deathstroke, Slade.
He is a well trained assassin, well trained enough to match batman in fighting.
but I drew this as a first draft, I came up with a better design later. I just have to find it.
(I had a better drawing, wish I could find it.) I might have to redraw it.
Ultimate Plastic Man
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/ultimateelasticman.jpg
Plastic Man was a career criminal set up on a job with three other career criminals he didn’t know. Their mission was to steal four vats of highly experimental and possibly deadly chemicals from the testing facility of Luther Corp’s labs. The chemical was a distant variation of the chemical Venom, but had since been changed so much that it was something completely new. The job was nearly a failure, not because of the soon to be Plastic Man, but because of one other guy. The criminals turned on each other; maybe there was a violent argument on what to do with the chemicals now that they had it. Maybe they were considering selling it to the highest bidder, or using it themselves, or simply giving it to the guy who paid them so he won’t kill them. Maybe it ended in gun fire with only Plastic Man left standing, or maybe the other three were killed in all the gun fire. Plastic Man was hit several times but was still alive. The chemicals were hit too and spilled all over the ground of the warehouse they were hiding in. They healed him and turned his body into an organic rubber material. He could stretch his body in unbelievable ways. Being a criminal he used this power for crime, it helped him also protect himself from the mob boss he was hired by to steal the chemicals. Since he didn’t die and didn’t give him the chemicals he was targeted by the mob. He had run ins with super heroes like Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. Something turned his life around, maybe it was he had three strikes against him and needed to keep out of crime to avoid going to Arkham or worse, maybe Luther was after him to test on him and joining the Justice League was the only way to get protection. Or maybe he actually is trying to turn his life around for a lame reason. But whatever the reason Plastic Man, the former criminal turned super villain, became a super hero and joined the Justice League. He was never a true member, only part of it like Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch were part of the Ultimates. He was never publicly shown with the team, no pictures of him or mention of him, he was never seen in battle. He was sort of back up for the rest of the team, and absolutely no one on the team trusted him. Everyone was watching him at all times, especially Batman and Superman. He was allowed on the team because of his power, indestructible and stretching, his powers were a great asset to the team.
Plastic Man is the same wacky guy from the other comic. He can’t help himself having the powers he has, the only difference is that he is looked at by everyone as a former villain.

Knights of the Atomic Table
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/knightsoftheatomictable1.jpg
During WWII the Government put together a think tank made up of Reed Richards, Jannet Pym, her Husband Hank Pym, Victor Von Doom, Tony Stark, and Bruce Banner. Ech were experts in different fields of science, and their goal was to create the ultimate weapon to end the war and defeate the enemies of America.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/knightspart2.jpg
Reed was an expert in all fields of science but especially in Atomic structure and genetics. Janet was an expert in genetics chemistry, and Hank created a formula that allowed a person to shrink and grow. He also worked in robotics. Victor was an expert in weaponry, robotics, and circutry. Tony Stark was also a expert in robotics, and circutry, he had been supplying America with weapons for years, and was experimenting with nano technology. Bruce Banner was an expert in genetics, radiation, and human mutations. They combined their skills and helped create a weapon, but the Government felt it was too dangerious and the war was nearing its end. The project was terminated moments before its completion.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/riseofapocalypse.jpg
each of the scientists went their seperate ways, Hank Pym became jobless. His growth formula never worked. He started drinking and being abusive to his wife, which lead to their divorce. Now feeling depserate Hank finishes the only thing that ever was successful in his life. He activates the Super Soldier the Knights had made during WWII.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/apocalypse.jpg
But the being went on a path of destruction, its goal was to cause death and to rule over the survivors. SHEILD, the Governments special protection agency was called in. Specifically Agent Steve Rogershe was joined by his reporter friend "Bucky Barnes.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/steveandbucky.jpg
Steve was ordered to reunite the Knights so that they could help figure out how this thing woke up and find a way to stop this monster. At this time no one knew Hank had activated it.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/wherearetheynow.jpg
Steve discovered that Reed Richards was working with NASA and still contributed to SHEILD. Victor Von Doom had returned to Latvia and took his rightful place on the throne after his mother's death. Janet went onto teaching advanced genetics at a college. Tony Stark's company still contributed to SHEILD's weapons but Tony was no longer attatched to them. He had since gone into hiding, living as a recluse. Bruce Banner went onto experimenting for America's government using radioactive chemicals to create a super soldier. He had turned himself into a near unstoppable hulking beast thast killed hundreds. Steve was among the many SHEILD agents who stopped him. He has since been locked away in SHEILD's prison. He acts like a Hannibla Lextor character, very creepy but very knowledgeable. And his eyes still glow with green radiation. He also found Hank Pym, who confessed the whole thing. That it was all his fault.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/thefight.jpg
The reunited Knights decided the best course of action was to create a super soldier to fight the creature calling itself Apocalypse. They used Steve. He became stronger, faster, more adgile, and tougher. The Knights gave him the uniform they had made during WWII for their super soldier that never got a chance to wear it, along with a special armored sheild created by Stark and Doom. They called him Captain America.
Steve jumped into the fight but it didnt take long for the Apocalypse to get the upper hand. Fearing that Steve would be killed the Knights came to help. using their inventions that had been locked away for years they tried to distract the Apocalypse. But it was Hank Pym who ended up helping the most. Using the growth formula hank grew giant and took on the monster himself. But he still was no match for the Apocalypse, Hank Pym collapsed. But that gave Steve the advantage he needed and defeated the monster once and for all. Hank had died saving America.
Steve went on to serve SHEILD as the patriotic super soldier Captain America, and the Knights went went back to being SHEILD's Think Tank. They help Captain America on his missions and protect America.

In the morning he is back to normal with only the memories haunting him and an incomplete pentagram on his chest. The more he lets go of his control the more monsterous he becomes.

The Fearsom Four's Reed Richards
from the possible Exiles characters and ideas.
The Frightful Four.
Evil Sue, or Malice, and evil Johnny or Pyro or something like that.

and Evil Ben or the Creature. or abomination, something that lowers his self asteem.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/evilben.jpg
The Frightful Four arent the loving family that they are in the Fantastic Four. Sue is constantly having affairs with Namor, Dr. Doom, Black Panther, and Ben. Reed is an egotistical jealous monster who uses Ben and hates his family and Sue. And constantly tries to kill them, which is how they were all transformed (He perpously didnt make the sheilds of the ship stronger). he once stole Sue's powers so that he could be the most powerful one in the group. And he killed Dr. Doom, his old College roomate, and Namor the Atlantis King.
Johnny is a fire bug he loves buring down things and people, he is constantly using Ben and mistreating him.
and Ben is an monsterous creature with incredible strength and the lowqest intellegtence imaginable.

Reed, Sue, Johnny, and Ben, merged into one body by the Skrulls. They have one body but four minds.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/LOGANINTHEFOUR.jpg
The Fantastic Five.
Logan was along with the other four when they took their trip. He was a long time freind of Ben's from the old days. When Doom dropped out suddenly they needed another to take his place.
Logan was unknowingly a mutant. the cosmic rays mutliplied his mutant powers a million times over. His healing powers became so strong he is almost immortal. His bones became an unbreakable metal, and the lcaws he didnt know he had became metal as well. His animal insticts grew as well and Logan became more aggresive. But what he didnt know was he became this way because of the power cosmic which now is inside him.
Doom, obsessed with power and jealous that he didnt get any because he didnt go, targets the Five. That is until he learns that Logan holds the most power inside him.
These are more Exiles character idea.

Wonder Woman + Thor = Thor
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/seannneedham/missthor.jpg
Wonder Woman + Thor
Themascara was given The Hammer of Thor to protect it when the former holder of it died. But when Earth needed Thor Diana of Troy became That hero.
THOR
http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f358/seanstarrunner/missthor.jpg
years ago a man washed up on the shores of Themascara, Island of the Amazons. With his dying breath he made their queen, Queen Hippolyta, promis to protect what he called Mjollnir, the hammer and gauntlets of Thor. With her young daughter standing there the Queen promised, and after his death he was barried in an unmarked grave near the Temple where Mjollnir was kept. No one was ever permitted to enter the temple and no one did, not until years later. The queens daughter Diana, who at was now a young woman, stole the hammer and gauntlets to protect mankind from coming dangers. The hammer reads, "who so ever holds the hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of THOR." She was indeed worthy and with the hammer she became the new incarnation of Thor and with that gained all the powers of Thor. She Vast Superhuman Strength, Speed and Stamina, Near-Invulnerability , Extraordinarily long life span, flight (via Mjolnir), atmokinesis, Force Blasts.
As Thor she protects the world from seemingly mythical monsters and forces of evil. During her battles Thor crossed paths with Circi, a goddes level witch and a long time rival of the Amazons. Circi was defeated but swore revenge. She used her magic to call apon of force to stop Thor, that force turned out to be Thor's evil half brother Loki. Loki took over the body of Circi so that he could get revenge on Thor for banishing him and perhaps destroy Thor once and for all.
Thor can transform back into Diana and vise versa, but as Diana she has no powers but her Amazonian athletic skills. Because of her steeling and, worse still, leaving the island to go to man's world, Diana is forever banished from Themascara.

Re: New Blue Beetle?
Posted: Nov 17, 2005 2:52 PM Reply
There have been two other Blue Beetles before Ted. And you know they will introduce a new Blue Beetle. So here is my idea:
Booster Gold should create a Blue Beetle suit, like Batman Beyond, with his future technology. He would do it to honor Ted and to continue the Blue Beetle legacy. The next Blue Beetle could be more than one person. It could be various people who wear the suit and different times. Booster Gold could even wear it sometimes."
My new idea is to have Dan Gerrat and Ted Kord return to Earth as ghosts that are bounded to the Scarab medallion that Jamie now uses. Only Jamie can see them and hear them, but they are sort of just there to hang out and talk and guide Jamie to become the best Blue Beetle he can be.

here is something new,
Its the AMAZO Android from Justice League and Justice League Unlimited (episodes Injustice for All, and the Return).
I traced a little and redesigned him to look more like his comic book persona. In the show he would evolve from his almost featureless body into this, after his travels of the universe he decides his own form.
This could also be what AMAZO looks like in Batman Beyond.
(whatever show he would have been on, a cool scene would have been his metamorphasis from his original self to this one.

His skin is still the golden metallic material it was in The Reurn. His eyes are also the same, only now they are more formed.

You ape styles very well. Strangely enough, I know a fair amount of cartoonists that have a very hard time with that. So you definitely have that going for you. Keep plugging away, practice makes perfect and you seem to do a lot of practicing. They won't be able to turn you down for long if you keep it up. BTW, are you hoping o animate or do storyboards etc?
Needham
05-27-2011, 02:53 PM
Thank you, I am actually interested in almost all of that (storyboards and animation, and character designs) but my main focus is comic book illustration. Right now I am working on Monkey Boy #2, and I have done lots of practice pages as well as the first issue of Monkey Boy. Why do you ask?
thanks for the kind words of encouragement.
I am also looking for an Inker for my Monkey Boy comic. I wouldn't be able to pay anything, but the Inker could use the inked Monkey Boy pages in their portfolio.
http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f358/seanstarrunner/monkeyboy2page3panel1rough.jpg
Well, if you are hoping to animate then you need to animate. If you are wanting to do storyboards then you have to work on those. Unfortunately character design doesn't tend to be an option in the industry. They tend to just pull from the creator or animators already working(unless its a feature and then still, more often than not you are pulling from animators already under contract.). So I was just wondering the direction you were hoping for without a clear gauge from your artwork. As for the comic stuff, it looks pretty good. You have solid foundations but it seems like you do a better job with other people's styles because they already have a set anatomy to them. Your comic art tends to miss this focus and understanding. Still, the three options are completely different animals (comics, design and animation) although they all pull from one another. I will be interested to watch your growth for sure. cool stuff.

I am looking for an Inker for my Monkey Boy comic, I couldn't pay anything, but the pages inked could be used in the inker's portfolio.
Here is a link to Monkey Boy on comicvine.com :
