Mario's Martian Manhunter!

This one I'm posting as i create; a gazillion sketches for one slightly more finished drawing. I do that in order to study the shapes i like and to get the hand practice needed for a more free hand rendering. Here are some: And so here is the best i could come up today with this oh so complicated concept: Martian Manhunter . The real problem with redesigning the martian is his ability to shape-shift. To keep this version linked with the initial design i decided to keep only the iconography. All the colors red, blue, green and yellow gold as well as the cape and the X. This super has the capability to assume any shape, size & color or, by becoming both ethereal and invisible , he can virtually become a boundless conscience. His humanoid shape comes from the will to resemble humans but after 50 years of living among them, a change is in order.

In fact, the more the world is fantastic or far from our own reality, the more effort it takes to make it feel real or at least plausible.

Tackling Wolverine because i really hate the place where Marvel comics places this guy: #1 X-men. Logan was not meant to be this leader, spokesperson or even the mutant icon he turned out to be. I personally preferred when Wolvi...

Lilianna

This is a new title for a character I'm designing. I wanted it to be very simple and yet hold the potential for some kind of variation. So in 2D it can became a window to an image and in 3D it can occupy a space and interact in a virtual world as well as having several interesting sides to look at. This is just the sketch of what it can look like in 3D.
