Description The last of a group of Elseworld or What If type of drawings that I did over the past week.

This time we take a look at 's character, The Fowl.

My initial idea was to go for more of a truer version of his name, but then the whole Howard Hughes millionaire flyboy caught my attention and I went that direction.

I think this is my favourite of your 'Elseworlds' imaginings so far Lee - I love the idea of the Fowl as a Howard Hughes-esque character (read an incredible book on him a while back. Just wish they'd cast anyone other than Leonardo DiCaprio in the film! Anyone!)

Thanks K, the idea seemed to fit the name too. Weird when that happens.

I', not the biggest DiCaprio fan either but I am looking forward to the new one he has coming out with Crowe!

I have never, and will never, grow tired of elseworlds. It it possibly my single favorite comic book device, and this is just the reason why.

That logo design is slick as hell, too.

Feel free to steal that logo design if you like.

Glad you approve Dan.

this is so sweet! jet pack is a nice (yet i agree flammable) addition, and damn if that isnt a really cool redesign of the chest logo (also would be really nice as a sweater design)
i understand the elseworlds theme but truly i really miss his beak :'<

*hands out little beaks*

Gaston25 In reply to Loura [2008-10-08 05:40:56 +0000 UTC]

I had a beak in the original sketch, but wanted to get away as far as possible from the original character design while staying true.

I want a free beak...

HOLY FUCK, this is spectacular!
Really badass solid pose.

The only thing i'd mess with would be the linework on the rocket blast. If you're gonna use a glow that profound, i'd either tone the lines of the blast (into a darker hue of the orange color) or eliminate the line completely so it's just a field of gradient color.

and maybe ditch the PS clouds bkgd for a simple gradient...the current bkgd distracts from the image a little (which is a crime- because it's so good)






....okay, so two things

I was getting bored with the gradient backgrounds and wanted to try something different.

Good point on the rocket blast.
