Scarlet Avenger...Enemy of Crime!!!

==================================================

Hello,

My recent effort at a re-imagining of the Scarlet Avenger.  Looking at

the finished piece I realize I might be stuck in the late 1970s to early 80s

as far as design sense.  


I got rid of the green suit the character wears in "Zip

Comics" but I am not sure if this is an improvement.  I also gave him blonde hair

to distance him visually from Superman and Bruce Wayne.



Thought I would submit it to the forum and get some feedback.  Which direction would

you guys take in a re-vamp of the Scarlet Avenger?  


This was done digitally in Sketchbook Pro.

Interesting pic, Lantern. I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with this, but you asked for feedback, so here we go. Just keep in mind that, given my lack of artistic ability, I'm probably one of the worst people on the board to supply said feedback, and I'm not familiar with the character.

First of all, why the grey instead of keeping the green? Not that I LOVED the green, but it was part of the character, so I'm curious if you had a conscious thought process here, or if you just decided that grey would look good.

As to what I would do, it seems that SA used a lot of ray guns and gadgets, so I think I might give him holsters on each hip, and a bulky gadgety utility belt. I might try the outfit in green with red highlights to match the cape/mask. Not sure what else, but that's off the top of my head.

I like your ideas for the costume. I think it would be more in keeping with

the spirit of the original character to head more of the direction you are

thinking. I will try to carve out some time to work up a new drawing.
