Amalgam Contest #36 - Blue Beetle/Falcon
Dragonfly and his robotic sidekick Skeeter Hawk, or Skeeter, for short.
This was tricky. Blue Falcon's obviously a no-go. In fact nearly every Blue/Bird combination has been used, and Scarlet Scarab is just Blue Beetle's evil counterpart, so I went a different route by trying to find a middle ground between the insect motif and the winged predator motif. I looked into some "hawk" types of insects (Hawk Moth, Mosquito Hawk etc.) but they were all kind of awkward sounding, so I went with Dragonfly even though there are already characters using the name.
Dragonfly, as awesome as the concept is, reminds me a lot of Jason Troy, Impact's Fly. How does he get 4 wings? i like the goggles, goggle's/visors are always awesome. But Dragonfly feels more real with his name, sidekick and talk about gadgets
I just now looked back at this Contest thread and read your comments. Thanks for the nice words for everyone. I think that's what this is all about. If we can entertain fellow Viners with our efforts, then that's what matters.
Just to add I may submit a slightly different design, drawn a bit better.
Thanks again.
Your Dragonfly thing is epic :) this isn't really my section of the vine but all of you guys have some really great stuff!!!!
