Description

This was for the static redesign contest over at project rooftop in memorial of Dwayne Mcduffie: www.tencentticker.com/projectr…
You all know how big a part static and his entire universe is to my life.

I wanted to give virgil a functional, but slightly futuristic costume.
There are metal plates in the fingertips of his gloves to conduct his electricity better. The metal around his torso and elbow is supposed to be like armor.
Those blue lines and random receptors in his armband and belt? Electrical chargers, and they keep track of his electromagnetic pulse.
betcha cant guess who designed all that for him

Time taken: 3-4 hours, give or take









looking back on this, virgil totally looks like a janitor. WHAT THE HELL. :iconwthplz:

Here we go again! Okay first off, I love the lightning, I have a weakness for it, and the way you played off of it to make the shadows and lighting on the body worked really well. I also like the luminescent tracks going down his legs and arms. The lightning crackle in the floor with his shadow is a nice touch, signifying that he's the light in the darkness. I do, however, think that the shockvox is too small compared to the actual show. They had it the side of their palm and the way you drew it made it smaller. The details on the uniform, such as the ridges on the elbows and sides are a good touch, especially the way you made them curl with the body and I love the new cowl and goggles. Great job over all!
