My tumblr for Needham Comics' Monkey Boy is up and running!

I posted preview pages for Monkey Boy #1 and Monkey Boy #2, Who is the Almighty Dollar?

I would love to see Jason Blood show up on Constantine, I could see him being another Mage like Constantine only he has been alive since King Arther and is more clean cut looking. He and Constantine must stop some threat like Klarion or Morgan Le Fay and together they use their knowledge of magic but in the end to save them Jason must call upon Etrigan and transform. After Etrigan quickly ends things it takes a few minutes to get him to return Jason's form.

It can be easily done. They did it all the time with effects and computers on Buffy and Angel. There was a main character who was a human who transformed into a giant demon all the time, took two actors and computer effects. The effects could get expensive for a show that the studio might not pour money into but that would be why the Demon isn't shown until the end and why we focus on Jason.

For the design they can have Etrigan in his New 52 knight armor so it takes less makeup and therefore less money. I'd love to see Jason Blood's past explored as well and how he has lived for a very long time.

I sure hope the find a way to keep Constantine going because I'd love to see Jason Blood/Etrigan, the Spectre, Eclipso, Zatanna, Ressurection Man maybe, and others on the show.

Here are examples of the level of effects possible now, or at least years ago (so now should be better for less):

The armor can cover him (like in the New 52) from neck to toe and only reveal his demonic head and hands. That should also keep the cost down and the armor could help the actor look bulkier than he would actually be.

This is a quick sketch if my idea for the Wasp's costume redesign. Maybe for the movies, or maybe for the comic. Its a jumpsuit like Blackwidow's with tech and armor on top.

This is a T-Shirt mock up design I came up with while building a T-Shirt design portfolio to submit to WeLoveFine.com I posted it on January 21, 2014 to my deviantart page along with several of my other shirt/hoodie designs. I am not saying that someone took my design idea, but here they are:

I don't think they stole anything, just used that title. My concept was to have the Arrow and Clint extending down from the collar on a white shirt pointing to the name Hawkeye like on the comic. I didn't draw the image but WeLoveFine has a deal I think with Marvel and they use comic images on shirts all the time. It is also being sold at http://www.superherostuff.com/hawkeye/t-shirts/hawkeye-six-nights-30-single-t-shirt.html?itemcd=tshwkeysix Again I am not saying they ripped me off. Just that maybe they should have given me the job.

These are some of my other designs here:

And there is more I didn't post here, but i did post here: http://needham-comics.deviantart.com/gallery/47779608/WeLoveFine-Portfolio?offset=48

I saw theunbrilliant.deviantart.com/ 's post of her Hank Pym/Wasp: Hank Pym as The Wasp and it inspired me to draw Michael Douglas as he looks in the Ant Man films (his age) in that costume. I modified it slightly. Its now a long lab coat instead of a shorter coatish shirt. My thinking is that its not exactly a costume, he wears it in his lab. The wings help him get around to fly up and fix something high or across the room, the goggles shield his eyes and help magnify things. His gloves protect his hands, he carries tools in his jacket. His laser is actually a welding laser type tool. Etc. He still has his Pym particles controlled by his belt to allow him to shrink or grow. The coat also helps hide his age and un-super heroic physic, and the shoulder armor, while they do have it in the comic would help his shoulders look broader and more comic book like than people actually do in reality. The collar also helps hide his neck, human necks are smaller than comic necks and his is older. Plus it alludes to his 80s past. Like Swordsman I like the idea that Pym is a character that fills in the gaps of the past between Captain America 1 and Iron Man 1, well before the Avengers. Douglas was a big action star in the 80s too, so I reminded people of what he looked like then. That's what Ant Man looked like back then. I like the idea that before the Avengers, before SHIELD was actually an official organization, Pym, Van Dyne, Agent Duquesne, and Agent Nick Fury, were a covert team like the Avengers 1959 comic.

This is my design idea for Swordsman in the Marvel Cinematic universe. He was one of the original Avengers, actually more like a special covert field team headed by Agent Nick Fury, back when Director Dugan was in charge and back before they had an official name. Sort of like Avengers 1959, http://www.comicvine.com/avengers-1959/4060-58699/

But i digress. Agent Duquesne, codenamed Swordsman, was and still is an expert in hand to hand combat, his specialty was swords and blades. He was also a pretty good marksman too. He was Agent Clint Barton's C.O. Before Barton became a full agent. Duquesne taught Barton everything he knew and made Barton the world class assassin and agent he is. But as he got older and as SHIELD became more official he drifted off the radar and now is drifting back into Coulson's sights while investigating Hydra agents. Duquesne has seem to become a mercenary for hire.

I used Timothy Dalton as the actor because I think he looks the part, is the right age to be Barton's C.O. (just as in the comics Duquesne trained Barton), and is someone I could see playing the part in a movie or n Agents of SHIELD. I gave him more of a long coat uniform because I feel like it would help hide is age... for some reason that escapes me right now. I also tried to make his costume look like his comic costume while also reflecting Barton's Hawkeye costume. To sort of show that it could be something given to both by SHIELD. More of a uniform and less unique to Barton. Duquesne has two swords hing from his belt on his right and left hip, two on his back, two smaller swords laying horizontal on his belt, a few knives hidden on his person, a gun, and several throwing knives.

I like the idea of showing more of the past before the Avengers and Iron Man films and after the Captain America films.

In the end I see him being defeated and arrested but not killed, and he would still be smiling and happy with the outcome. Glad for SHIELD. I see Duquesne being a sort of restless spirit type, a soldier who sort of didn't know what to do once he wasn't active anymore.

While toying with the idea of a Wonder Man movie design I realized that Wonder Man's original design was green, had a helmet, and goggles. He was created by Baron Zemo, a leader in Hydra. In the Captain America movies Hydra soldier uniforms were black/green with helmets that looked remarkably like Wonder Man's, and goggles. (Also, the Background I found on google.)

So I had to design him that way. I also added in the other Masters of Evil (although I am sure in the movie they would call themselves something like the Masters of Humanity).

So, in the film, Hydra agent Dr. Helmut Zemo, a son of Baron Heinrich Zemo who was one of the Red Skull's top scientists. In the idea Odin mysteriously casts Amora the Enchantress and her goon Skurge the Executioner out of Asgard. On Earth Loki has them give Zemo and his scientists two Asgadian artifacts/weapons. Like the Red Skull and his father before him Helmut seeks science through magic. He is tasked with recreating the Super Soldier Serum. He is told these artifacts will do this.

Simon Williams is in jail and his brother Eric, a Hydra scientist working directly under Zemo, convinces Zemo to use his brother as the test subject in order to break him out.

The first Asardian artifact rebuilds each and every cell of Simon's body as Sionic (?) energy. He is as strong as an Asgard, faster and more agile, and heals in seconds. His cuts spark with sionic energy and his eyes and mouth glow with energy too.

The second artifact is the Reaper's arm. Eric is told to wear it. Once on it becomes part of his body and he cannot take it off. They are somehow connected, life and death. Both men cannot die, not exactly, and both men aren't alive, no exactly. They both look human but are now pure Asgardian energy.

Eric begins to go mad, due to the artifact and flees. Simon seemingly dies in battle with the Avengers. (Of coarse he wold either return or not actually die). His later costume would maybe be similar just black and not green. And no helmet, just sunglasses maybe. Amora and Skurge casually abandon the others in battle. And Zemo is left against the Avengers alone.

This is my concept art for Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel movie. Since there has been very little of the Kree actually shown I had to look at other sources. I used Ronan the Accuser from the Guardians of the Galaxy movie, the Kree Ambassador, the other designs from the Guardians like the Novas and Thor for Carol's designs. If you look at the Marvel movie universe the characters that are human based like Captain America, Fury, Hill, Hawkeye, and Black Widow, their costumes are made of fabrics, straps, buckles, and zippers. Aliens like Thor and Ronan, for example, wear armor with intricate designs.

Her costume is Kree armor. Metallic like Iron Man's, colored red, over dark Fabrics like Thor's (not leather).

Her Yellow Captains Bars styled stripes leading to her star logo have (what I hope) is Kree writing that we are seeing on Agents of SHIELD and on Ronan's ship. And if you look at the Guardians clothing things are sort of off center and at odd angles.

But they also seem to be trying to make sure the alien worlds are believable too, or maybe its that they aren't too powerful. The Novas weren't shown to have powers and wear tech armor. So I was unsure if the Kree soldiers like Mar-Vell would have powers. Or perhaps he would have powers because the Asguardians are super strong and what not. Plus I needed a reason why Carol would wear a costume in the first place. Why not just a SHIELD jump suit? So I came up with a concept that might cover all bases. In the film Carol teams up with Mar-Vell to stop Yon-Rogg and his troops. During the film near the end (like where Thor gets his powers back or where Reece dies in Terminator 1) Mar-Vell is dying. He splices his DNA onto Carol's so she can wear his armor and save the city and defeat Rogg and the Sentry. That way she gets the costume. The armor maybe is what has the powers. Like a much more advanced Iron Man suit, since it is Kree and the Kree are the most advanced aliens. It could even be reasoned that Carol's DNA is altered to have the powers by the end of the film with advanced Kree Nano-tech.

Anyway like in the comics and like Star Lord's helmet in Guardians her herlmet forms and evaporates around her head instead of being a helmet she must put on and take off. Whe she is in space or flying at top speeds her helmet shields her with an energy field. Likewise, also like the comic, her costume can form around her or evaporate in a blaze of light when she is putting it on or taking it off. I used her current costume as the main reference but also added in the Ultimate Mar-Vell design since that is what they used in the popular Avengers cartoon. I also tried using Mar-Vell's original Trojan Soldier design as well as her other designs. I want Carol to be a character as powerful as Thor and as popular to be considered one of Marvel's top characters up there with Stark, Cap, and Thor.

I might add more later.

This will include spoilers abut the Winter Soldier so don't read if you haven't seen it yet. Agents of SHIELD too.

In my previous version seen here: Movie TV Agent Jessica Drew

I said: "This is a redesign of what I think she could look like in the movies or TV shows. He web wings are a strapped on thing, like Falcon's wings sort of or these wings I saw Nick Fury wear in the comics once to infiltrate Osborne's room. Her Sting Powers I thought could be from the Stingers that Black Widow had in the movies. She also has guns. I imagined her to maybe have limited powers than she has in the comics. In the comics she can fly, shoot energy blasts, is super strong, and stick to walls. I think maybe she could have some of those powers through technology. Like other characters she has no mask, just spy goggles. If they decided to give her powers the suit would still work I think. In the comics she is surgically and genetically altered by Hydra to have powers, that might be a cool movie scene. Her story is that she is a Hydra Agent sent into SHIELD as a sleeper agent, to act like a SHIELD agent until she was activated. But she was turned by SHIELD and is now good, but she is sent into Hydra to spy for SHIELD.

So she was bad pretending to be good, but actually became good and is now pretending to be bad.

I think her story would be a great addition to the current Marvel universe.

Oh, also, like some other designs I did, this is traced over a drawing to get my concept on paper faster. It was from a cover of Lady Phantom X by Kris Anka

anklesnsocks "

I revised it and added to it and made it my own so that I wouldn't be using another artist's drawings. Here its more about Jessica Drew's Flight suit. Like Sam Wilson/Falcon, Agent Drew uses a special flight suit designed to help her glide. I was unsure if her character would be given powers or not, but I thought it would be a good idea to leave that vague. Maybe she does and maybe she doesn't. This design can go both ways. To go along with the events of the Winter Soldier and Agents of SHIELD, Hydra had infiltrated SHIELD. Many SHIELD agents turned out to be Hydra sleeper agents. During Winter Soldier they took SHIELD down. Agents of SHIELD is SHIELD trying to rebuild itself. Agent Jessica Drew was one of those Hydra Agents pretending to be a SHIELD agent. Like many others she was in deep cover for so long that she made friends, alliances, etc. At some point SHIELD turned her. She is now secretly working for Nick Fury and Coulson, for SHIELD, spying on Hydra while pretending to be spying for Hydra on SHIELD. For the body and face I used Katy Perry, someone who I feel looks physically like Jessica Drew. This was also an exercise in making her costume more realistic and less revealing. I have heard many many women say things like, "Why don't they just redesign her costume already." So this was my attempt.

Also, if any of my designs appeal to any Cosplayers and they want to make a costume from them feel free. Just let me know please and send me a picture.
