My friends and I spent one night talking extensively about the subject of superheros and comic books. Poking fun at them was more enjoyable than whapping a piñata around. Many hilarious ideas were thought of, recorded in nearly incoherent and illegible scribbles in my sketch book.
Seeing as it is summer vacation and I have some time I thought I would do some sketches for the characters created that evening. Remember, these are not finalized characterizations. Already I'm planning to make better scalloping on T-man's shell . . .
These two are Tortoise Man (left) and Dashing (right). Tortoise Man is our universe's counterpart to Iron Man. T-man is indestructible and invulnerable when his personally designed Tortoise armor. The chink in his armor? He weighs so much he can barely move. Then there's the problem of when he gets tipped over onto his back . . . You know, Tortoise Man, after all.
Dashing is our speedy character. Such as Marvel comics Flash or DC's Quicksilver. Dashing is faster than the speed of light and would be a most efficient crime fighter except for one thing: He's a narcissist. If he passes a mirror, window, or any reflective surface he stops to admire himself.
Maybe someday we'll do a comic book about Dashing, Tortoise Man and all their friends in the Stupendous League.
