Draw one superhero a day practice

[Guru_George]

Its just like what the title says but I want to give it more deeper meaning. I would like to build and help others build a portfolio of superheroes that are movie quality but not quite the top 20 well known heroes. I would like to pick 5 hero's per week and the artist can choose 1 or all 5.

[Spidey]

You want to redesign obscure super heroes so that the design would be practical for a film? So the designs are going to be concepts for movies or something?

[hydekomiksink]

Yes, a little more explaination is needed please. :)

[Spidey]

I just realized I asked the same thing twice.

[The P.R. Man]

I think he means 2nd tier heroes that would make good movies.. I dunno, the movie redesign thing could be cool,

[ManofSilver81]

This seems pretty cool! I think I'd like to jump in on this. There are many secondary heroes out there that don't get the real screen time they deserve! I'm talkin' about you VIBE! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibe_(comics))

[Guru_George]

I was thinking about making the redesigns optional but it only seem's right if there going to be movie quality. All right, let this be a concepts redesign of superhero's that are top notch but have not given the day of light. The only hard part is picking which superhero's deserves a movie. This is where I'll need your help. Everyone participating can drop a list of there favorite superhero's that are not quite famous yet as the top 20. Then I can put a list together for a vote. I'll take the top 5 and start the week with them.

[Spidey]

How are you going to come up with the characters? Are you taking suggestions? If so I nominate Martian Manhunter, Deadpool and the Vulture of Spider-Man fame.

Edit: Oh, you posted while I was coming up with characters. I'll just add some more then. Bucky, Carnage and Hercules.

You do realize that Steel and Elektra have been done, right?

The Great Machine (Ex Machina)
The Boys
Luke Cage
Iron Fist
Invincible
The Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot
Shaolin Cowboy

I'd also like to see movies based on Elseworlds like TDKR and Superman: Red Son.

[Guru_George]

Thanks for the heads up fatmancomics. Can we at least add steel, that movie Shaquille o'neal did needs to be forgotten. :D

[ManofSilver81]

Shaq who? I remember NOTHING! Especially not that horrible videogame Shaq-Fu!

[fatmancomics]

Thanks for the heads up fatmancomics. Can we at least add steel, that movie Shaquille o'neal did needs to be forgotten. :D

I say thee, nay! It was done and you said UNDONE!
Heh. Nah, this is your thing. If you want to include it then why not? I would say that The Phantom needs to be redone too but they pretty much did it exactly like the strips so I guess there's nothing to do there.

[Guru_George]

Sounds great fatmancomics. We can add Phantom in there as well. Going to start the Voting tomorrow so if anyone got any other superhero's they wish to drop down before tomorrow's vote then show us what you got. The vote has 20 slots max. So I'm going to take the top 3 or 4 superhero's everyone have posted in this thread and post those characters in the voting slot for a max of 20 superhero's up for vote! The voting will be created with check box's so everyone can make multiple votes. Try to vote for at least 5 superhero's.

[ManofSilver81]

Sounds good! I got a couple more so I'll get them in now:

Hawkman
The Atom
Uncle Sam
Cloak & Dagger
Warpath
Red Robin
Captain Marvel
Freakazoid

[Guru_George]

The poll is up and ready! Remeber to vote for at least 5 Superhero's! (http://www.penciljack.com/forum/showthread.php?102173-Draw-one-superhero-Vote-Starts-Now)

[Guru_George]

The vote expires next week so I'm going to get this thing started on monday! It looks like its going to be

Doctor Strange
Black Bolt
Deadpool
Iron Fist
Martian Manhunter

Thank you for your time and most of all your vote. As stated before, you can choose to draw 1, 2, 3, 4, or all 5 superhero's to build up your portfolio with non-mainstream superhero's (ones that are not played out) that are of movie quality and most comic book people know and like.

[Spidey]

Where do we post them?

[Guru_George]

Posting it right now!
