I, too, will be submitting something tardy. Hopefully I will have it up tomorrow.

Yeah it's the smallest and the narrowest shoulders the costume creator allows.

I chose the closest shade of gray I could get to the suit color but it stands out cuz it's a flat single shade.
I do really like the symbol though I can totally see the green spark in the center representing his skull
generating green plasma while the ring signifies containment and the lines breaking out of the
circle symbolizing when he exhausts plasma out of his containment through combat.
From a symbolic standpoint it's better a match than I thought I would find.
Ya ok I probably over-thought the symbolism a bit.
I also like that in any front facing shot, like the first one especially, the skull looks to be suspended in mid-air over
the suit with only the left and right helmet sensors holding it in place... since the need of a head is really only
cosmetic, as his eyes were in the previous suit (just painted on), it's more for show than necessity.
Thanks Mc Boo I had a a lot of fun working on this.

Very cool! I was looking forward to your spin on the character and I was by no means disappointed! I like the idea of Daniel coming to grips with his new state and reveling in it as only a young boy can and I absolutely love the steampunk look of the costume! You also put a lot of thought into subtle aspects of the containment suit (dual sensors for depth perception, built in venting ports) that never occurred to me. Great work CR!|

drawings I am trying to work on at once (most notably the prize for the CanonBrawl event needs to get done so I can turn it over to Eddy Swan and give him time to color it.) and I just keep putting the posting of this off. Determined to get it posted up tonight no matter how late it gets, so without further ado here is what McBoo gave me... Continuing with his theme I tried to picture what it would be like for a 12 year old to be in this deteriorating condition and find himself in a massive (huge body type) bulky containment suit after being in the body of a small boy for as long as he could remember. If/when the team of doctors came around and told him they were working on a new and improved suit for him, now that he is stable, and wanted his input on what would make it more comfortable/livable to him... what might he ask for? What I came up with is the idea that in order for him to expel radiation and not diminish himself into eventual nothingness his "body" would need to be constantly producing the greenish plasma and he might not have learned any control of it at this early stage thus the huge size of the original suit made sense because it had to be able to contain a potentially large amount of Plasma until such time as he had chance to expel some of it through combative use of his powers or safely discharging in a sealed radiation containment zone. So then high on the list (if it were me) would be a body more like what I was used too in size and mass which would mean there would have to be a way to have a safe, controlled and constant venting of plasma. Also it felt right to me that Daniel would actually come to terms with what he had become almost immediately and on some level think it was really totally rad (lol) to have a skull for a head (children are so much more accepting of their situation in this regard) and since that is what he really looks like now he might actually want this depicted for his helm... only cooler. Daniel: "Whatta bout' a gold skull? Kin ah have a gold skull pleaseeeee... cuz that would be awesome... an' a silver robotic suit would be neat and oooh I gotta have some green stuff on my suit cuz thats what color my powers are... green." So a short 12 year old body, check! A lanky build, check! A silver robot suit, check! An external sensor array to enable him to "see" (went with two, one on either side of the helm for depth perception), check! A gold skull with specially designed "plasma venting" ducts recessed into the eye sockets and bright green stuffz, check and check! Here then is what I came up with... hope you like it.           Note: I didn't have a level 30 hero, with rad powers, that was a male so these are actually Ice/ empathy powers (except for the images lacking the eyes aura) but hey you get the idea. |
