Guy Gardner is the Green Lantern of bizarre mishaps, and if anyone would get their power battery eaten by a pig, it would be Guy (or G'nort). I stuck with the classic GL colours of green, dark green/black, and white and I added a cossack influence to the pants and the GL logo on the bottom of the boots so that villains get left with a reminder of who has been kicking their butts.

Man, a pig is just an inspired choice! And I can see this "working" on so many levels-- the animal, its name, the hero... An amazing job, Snark!

Oh, and this thread has just reached 40,000 views! Awesome!

Thanks, Danny. Are you a GLC fan, too?

Lockheed has been gradually revealed to be a brave, highly intelligent alien, with excellent fighting skills. In my take on the character, he returns to his home planet for help and is given a gauntlet that teleports him through space, and a second that wields a sword beam. He also adorns, for the first time since his banishment, the ancient, woven, battle garments of his flock.

Nobble is a part of the race of creatures that protects the stones Lockheed's society uses to power their inventions/weapons. When Lockheed returns and starts forging his new weapons he finds he has an admirer that will not leave his side. He eventually takes him in as a pet and names him Nobble in response to the way the speedy creature sneaks about and collects others belongings.

*Drawings aren't to scale. Lockheed is the size of a large cat, and Nobble, an independent kitten.

I thought Barny would see himself as a batman type. But he wouldn't wear tights because those are for girls. He wouldn't get violent either, he just doesn't have it in him. The people of mayberry would feel safe having their own super guy. Of course the are all a little slow.

I see where you are coming from but in my opinion your best designs come with that quirky gadfly twist, and visually, I don't see either a lot of gadfly in here or a lot of Barney Fife.

Dynamite Thor and Dinki the Doggie detonator

If you've never heard of Dynamite Thor go here

I cheated and used one of my old drawings

Snarkbunny, my DT redesign is obviously rushed and half assed, but you have to love Dinki the Doggie Detonator! If you don't I'll cry. Not really but I thought of you when I made him.

soooo, i was in a bit of a rush with this last challenge, and totally thought we were suppose to design for a favorite pet character not "pet character". hence my choice of Lockheed. hahaha

good thing i did though, or i would have picked Nightcrawler too, and i like that everyone ends up doing something for different characters every time.

i just noticed the 4 of us that posted stuff here matched our main characters and their pets really strongly. i ended up voting for Ariel and Dom2 in the challenge, because they were the only ones that complimented each other like a real pair.

great job guys! anyone going to work on the final challenge!?

I am. I have the core character idea and what I want to do for the horror, the western and the Fantasy so now I have to figure out what I want to do with it in SF and superhero

I still don't even have a starting point. I think I'll use a character I've already been working on if all else fails.

**Gadfly** · 05-16-2011, 03:21 PM

I'm using a character I created some time ago Wingman. Not the manga Wingman, an oc. I don't need much of an excuse to draw him and throwing him in different genre will be fun.

Oh yea! He's my avatar.

Well, this is a personal bummer for me. I'm not going to make the deadline for the Fashion Week. My apologies, I really wanted to finish but I had to prioritize this past week, and the competition fell to starting a new full-time job and purchasing a house.

Here on the last afternoon of work, my premise is all set, one design complete, three drafted, and the fifth one not even sketched a little bit. So, I am out.

I will be around to vote, and I wish Martin and Danny all the best.

Here is the horror version of my character, just for whatevers sake:

He had his logo on the bag and a couple other design elements I removed... because when it is not part of the series, I like him plain.

Thank you.

Jaye

That means Your Imaginary Pal can get back on?

Plague Doctor! They are so funky and bizarre. It's a fun illustration, too.

Sorry to hear you are out, congrats on the house and job, though.
