@shatterstar plz pin

Should be a fun one.

Interesting color s to play with

Great choice. I'm very sure it's comp #44, though.

I think we did him before...but a chance to do something different than before has me intrigued.

This seems like an interesting one!

no, we didn't do him before .

i actually went thru all the "Public Domain Contest Winners" ,before posting .

Oh. Well either way, I think I had an idea for what to draw.

The Atomic Thunderbolt

@frischdvh: Nice colors and overall costume design.

Atomic Thunderbolt with his best friend Buddy. This is the finished version because I'm a lousy colourist.

I can already see the Winner...

Anyway, should be fun. I'll try to do something up until the1st

@fiesty_badger6: Really funky design and I like it.

Thanks @decept_o. I liked yours too.

My quick sketch for this, every time I think of nuclear I think of a containment suit.

some great designs. here's mine.

I was actually looking at doing a web series that featured the Atomic Thunderbolt, nice to see folks' redesigns on the costume.

i've made two redesigned pictures of him. Can i post both? Or will just one count?

@drfate: My understanding is you can post many images as you like BUT YOU have to STATE which ONE design will be your official entry.

@ardenbelfry,@wildcats25 and @payno, very slick designs and great art by all. Fun contest.

Aw yeah, boyee. This competition is going off.

I tried, but all I could see was a Captain Atom/Firestorm kind of look...So here we go...enjoy!

hope you like it

So, there are the two drawings i made.

THE FIRST ONE IS MY CONTEST ENTRY

@dthompson0190: wow,awesome muscles and shading

@artiom1q2w: Thanks!

I went for a more simple design. This guy (Willy Burns) is a down-on-his-luck kinda hero who doesn't fit into the world he came from. He was a soldier and then came back and had a hard time adjusting to his new life. A prof convinces him that he would be a great candidate for some nuclear tests he wants to run(seemed legit at the time). So he participates and there's an explosion, Willy is transformed but the prof dies in the explosion. Now, as Atomic Thunderbolt, Willy is a new man, but he's just not sure how to use his extraordinary powers to follow the vision of the deceased professor whose experiment gave Willy his powers.

In the wikia on this character the professor wanted to end the threat of nuclear annihilation by making people able to survive nuclear war. As stated, the prof dies in the process of changing Willy Burns into a super-powered hero. Moved by the profs sacrifice (for SCIENCE!), Willy says he would keep the profs dream alive, and save humanity from themselves with his new found abilities.

My idea came from the question of 'how does a nuclear man save the world from nuclear annihilation?' The angle being about having this guy around during a cold war era and facing those questions of having more bombs or disarmament. Also responsible for my idea: too much 'The Americans' and not enough coffee this morning. LOL

It'll be tight competition , all entries in different style it's awesome ('U')
