I was going along today and I was talking with a firend about superhero comic book characters. and I had a totally random and bizarre thought.
I came up with a comic book character the “ROCK ISLAND AVENGER” and his trusty side kick “ROCKET GIRL” The Rock Island Avenger costume is taken up in the shades of the “Bankruptcy Blue Scheme” and the Rocket Girls costume is based off of a Rocket scheme painted E-8.
What sort of things he fights. (The evils of corporate corruption perhaps?) and what he does for his day job I haven’t decided yet. But I have a bigger problem first.
I don’t think I would go with the “ROCKS” bankruptcy blue. I would go for the original passenger “Wings” black and red. It is much classier. Not only that, it would match the maroon and silver of the side kicks outfit.
To be prototypical they should be fighting shoddily maintained roadbed and track.
I went with the the blue out fit, because I envision the type of fello, that while he is intelligent and he means well. He is an idiot, And the blue white and black seems to convey that sense. And sence all you guys who are married know that women always seems to have everything together, the girl side kick that quietly works and makes sure that as he stubles and fumbles through the plot that everything falls into place for a happy ending. Its more meant to be a laugh your brains out type affair anyway. Today I have also decided that the hero and the heroine are boy friend and girlfriend.
Can’t be any worse than the the comic books I always threaten to draw:
“Snow White and the Seven Lumberjacks” …let your “adult” mind consider that one, [:0]
and
“Star Truck” …think “Trek meets BJ and the Bear”[:p]
I’d say go for it, just start with pencil sketching first , get OK with your characters and scenes, THEN try inking over them thats the way comic book guys do it. Its pure trial and error, but eventually you have at least a final product you can share with friends or if it comes out really bad, hid and bury and insist you never ever drew anything![;)][:D][:o)]
By day…he’s Norm Mineta…a mixed up bueracrat working the hallways and boardrooms of the nation’s capitol …pretending to support passenger rail…touring the country making speeches…as he whittles away at its.funding.
