Recently, I was at swap meet and came across a stack of old comics titled "Who's Who", and "The Marvel Universe".
After leafing through a few, I remembered how many fun (and super lame) superheroes there are in the comic book universe. Then it dawned on me...how fun would it be to take these characters and re-imagine them. It'd make for good design practise, and it'd be a chance for me to rekindle my love for comics (long dormant since the Liefeld Image age). The challenge would be to do a design a day for a week, or until inspiration runs dry for that character.
So first up to the plate is the Juggernaut.
01) Friday......."Prison Punkass Juggernaut".
02) Saturday........"Emo Juggernaut".
*Many thanks to A.S. for the tweaks on this one.*
03) Sunday......."Juggernaut Gigante".
04) Monday......."8-pack Juggernaut".
05) Tuesday......."Pumpkin Head Juggernaut".
06) Wednesday......."Egg-ernaut".
07) Thursday......."Junkyard Dog Juggernaut".
Back on friday with the final juggernaut. Color this time, I promise!
