I am currently in the process of writing a prose story about a superhero I call Ultimate-Man. The story is a tongue-in-cheek satire about a superhero who falls to earth and finds his way to superherodom along the way. He's about 19 years old.

I think it would help me from a writing standpoint to have a visual reference for what he'd look like in his full costume.

He would require two: One designed by his gay roommate with some sort of cowl to cover his face (it would have to be stereotypical (perhaps a pink bodysuit?) and un-PC, please) and a more traditional, ahem, "manly" costume for later on in the story.

If anyone would like to take a stab at designing such a costume, please do. I have drawn in the past, but my drawing skills are limited and I have little in the way of imagination when it comes to design.

Thanks in advance to anyone who decides to give this a try!

Regards to all,
Chris

General superpowers (flight, strength) or something more specialized?

Excellent work Mr. Smith, fantastic figurework. Really good and natural looking body language. Looks like a gay Hawkeye.

I agree. Were it not for the Hawkeye resemblance - and the assless chaps :shock: , it would be a winner! Still, excellent work and a reminder of the fact that I can't draw! :ohno: :ohno:

But very well done! :D

Cheers- I'm not sure how it ended up looking like Hawkeye! I was going for 'Dame Edna Everedge' glasses/mask and the gayest colours possible for a superhero- so I guess that isn't saying much for poor old Hawkeye!

Just be thankful I put pants under the chaps...

:)

While you might want to retool the mask to avoid Hawkeye comparisons, I really think if the first costume being designed by a gay man is an important point then the pseudo-assless chaps need to stay.

Agree with James' comments.

And Mr. Smith - I love your style. Fantastic stuff.
