PD Redesign Contest #8 - Airboy

#1 Edited by tonis (6202 posts) - 1 year, 2 months ago - Show Bio

Here's a character I was introduced to in the 80's when Eclipse brought him back and really dug.

Airboy not only battles traditional Super-villains but also oppressive governments and evil corruption. He travels all over the world in his plane and fights evil on multiple continents.

Deadline is 3/19 Midnight (EST)

@tonis: Congrats on the W. Interesting choice, curious how this one will turn out.

@tonis: You forgot to mention that his plane was a 6'x12' fishbat...

Here is my take on AIRBOY.

@payno: now those are some killer flight duds, great job on the layered armor look. If they ever make a cartoon of him this is exactly the look to go with :)

Haha...I'm pretty sure this doesn't count.
#12 Posted by tonis (6202 posts) - 1 year, 2 months ago - Show Bio

@Decoy Elite: definitely counts, that's a pretty damn good batfish :)

@batkevin74: Thanks.

@payno: Wow, great job on this one! It just psyched me out a little bit, now I have to find a new contest and come back to this one later.

@Decoy Elite: FISHBAT! haha awsome.

just realized how short I made the deadline on this one, adjusted it to Monday the 19th.

#16 Posted by tonis (6202 posts) - 1 year, 2 months ago - Show Bio

I decided to go the steampunk route with this one, always felt this character would fit well in that kind of world.

Airboy & Valkyrie

Caught in a freak thunderstorm, 14 year old David Nelson II's body was transformed. He found he could now "merge" with the air, and discovered he could render his body invisible as well as anything he touched. He also discovered he could phase through solid matter as well as any energy forms and could fly via air currents. Additionally, he could manifest and project air pressure "bolts" to cause severe damage to most anything.

i updated him (because i became acquainted with the 1942 version) to Air Man, who is pretty much the same except i changed the outfit a bit

Ahhh I wish I'd seen this sooner! Oh well, lovely drawings guys =)

#21 Posted by tonis (6202 posts) - 1 year, 2 months ago - Show Bio

@Decept-O: kick ass way to give meaning to the air in Airboy :)

@SteveRodgers: yea Airman was just as cool too :)

@Virago: hehe, now that is a new take indeed :D
