Thinking Of A Concept,,, You Know How Sometimes In The Shazam/Captain Marvel Stories They Refer To The

Work in progress!

This is my concept for the train car that Billy gets off of landing at the Rock of Eternity. I imagine the rock as a giant floating island that’s covered in jungle and rainforest plants, so I drew the train car after it gets magically transported to the rock so Billy can get his first glimpse of the magical other world.

My other Rock of Eternity concept art is [ HERE ] 🌴🐅🪨⚡️

Me writing Tawny into my story: 😏📝✍️

Me when I realize I don’t know how to draw a tiger: 😞💔

Excuse the random number written at the top. I did this drawing on a used sticky note, please forgive my hubris.

Also btw in Grimmland (my mind) Tawny communicates with other people with a magical pink gemstone embedded in their head. It gives Tawny the power of telepathy so they can communicate with The Wizard and Billy and stuff.

A 3/4ths turn of my Shazam design! ⚡️💗

At first I wanted to do a side profile but it just looked really flat and sad so then I kinda changed plans half way through lol. Normally I struggle a lot to visualize my drawings in a 3D space, but I think I’m getting some good practice in with this design, because most of it is structured off of the Shazam Justice League Action cartoon.

But if you know anything about that design you know he’s just got a flat box head so I’m kinda in my own territory when it comes to that lol. Anyways~ I hope you enjoy! ✨

( Note: Oh, also I added some grain and chromatic aberration to this drawing so yeah! )

The Rock of Eternity is a magical location that gently coasts over the magic realm on a floating island. It’s located in a magical other-world away from Earth, and it’s filled to the brim with magical knowledge and artifacts.

The Rock of Eternity is used as a historical archive for magical resources and is watched over by The Wizard and Tawny.

Okay kind of a different post than my normal stuff but I did just want to put all of these in one place. These are my character analysis slides that I’ve been working on!

Breaking down the character of Billy Batson has been so fun for me, and its by far my favorite part of the writing process. So here’s what I have so far for my interpretation of the character.

Here is my first slide where I breakdown the basic overview of my story. Just outlining the basic plot summary, the story’s themes, and the basic character arc for Billy.

As you can see it’s very similar to the first movie I’ve just modified some things here and there to add my own fun twist to Billy’s origin story.

[ MORE SLIDES BELOW ]

In this slide is where I breakdown Billy’s passive motivation, something I see that is necessary for all superhero characters. Similar to Spider-Man’s “power and responsibility” thing, and similar to how Batman protects and values all life because his life was forever changed by a random act of violence.

I think Billy’s passive motivation to do good is really, deeply rooted in the injustice that he witnesses throughout his childhood. He’s especially receptive to the problems of children and other vulnerable groups because as a member of those communities, he knows they get overlooked often.

This next slide is my character breakdowns. This shows my main character and all my important side characters. They each have a lesson they inadvertently teach Billy, helping him along his path to become a good hero.

They each play a role on the team, giving them fun dynamics. This allows them all to have distinct personalities allowing for fun dialogue, banter, and character moments.

The only character you might not know on this list is Samara. She is my version of the character Cissie Sommerly. Cissie is a classic Captain Marvel character who’s most recent comic book appearance was 1978. Woof. So I thought it would be a fun idea to modernize her and bring her back into the spotlight, serving as a glimpse into the average Fawcett citizen’s reaction to the new hero, Shazam.

This next slide is a closer look into Billy’s character flaws. Showing how at first he is hesitant to being a brother and being a hero. It kinda explains the mistakes he makes at first that he has to learn to overcome, and shows how his introspection will help him accept his roles as both a brother, and a hero.

Next we have something that if I could add to the 2019 film, I would. I love love love the 2019 version of Shazam but if I could add a little more expansion of Billy’s mother into the plot, I would.

I think is really important to the core of the character. This next slide I like to call “The Dark Reflection”.

I think that upon meeting his mother, Billy realizes that they are scarily similar. That she was also selfish, careless, and only interested in meeting her own needs. This lack of compassion and responsibility from her are the reasons she ended up abandoning Billy, leaving him in the foster system once she was released from prison and having zero interest in raising him.

Billy sees the mistakes she’s made in life and realizes that he is making the same ones, prioritizing his own wants/needs over anything else, and being just overall emotionally detached.

This scares him into re-evaluating his own behavior and consciously choosing to become more compassionate for others and foster a real sense of responsibility to use his powers wisely.

Next up, we have what I like to call “The Pillars of Character”. These are the three main “pillars” I see that are most prevalent in Billy’s story.

It’s important to me that all three of these pillars intertwine with each other, hence why I wanted to explore a little more about Billy’s mother. Adding a little more flavor text to why she is Billy’s dark reflection really helped me keep a balance between these three aspects of his character.

I also just think having all three pillars effect each other keeps a nice balance between all the aspects of his character. Showing how his character flaws effect different parts of his life and how Billy learns to grow and change for the better.

In summary, this is what I have for Billy’s character breakdown, showing his character arc for his origin story and how he learns to grow into a hero. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed because I had a fun time making this! I also have a lot more to share like individual character sheets for Billy and all my side characters, Three act story structure break downs, and other stuff too. So if you like this one maybe possibly I could do a part 2 soon.

Okay byeeeee!! ⚡️💕

Another sketch for tonight! ❤️⚡️🪄

It feels like I’ve been only finishing sketches lately,,, but I’ve been kinda busy so whoopsies. Maybe when I color this one I can also include my whole “living lighting” concept thingy I made up a while ago on an old post with some blueish glow-y type battle marks idk. ~✨

Felt like drawing some expressions/ light angst kinda art so ye. Maybe if I get around to it I can do expression sheets next since I’ve never really done those before.

Anyways thanks 4 reading okay byeeee! ~ ✨✨✨

Making slight tweaks to my current art style,, as in trying to use line weight? I’m still experimenting with it so I thought I would make another Freddy & Billy drawing because I need practice drawing character interactions as well lol. Much to learn, as always lol :p

Anyways enjoy! ~✨

[ Master List | Freddy’s Index ]

CHARACTER SHEET

─────── •✧• ──────

NAME: Freddy Freeman

AGE: 17 years old

BIRTHDAY: May 21st 1990

HEIGHT: 6’1 /186 cm

STATUS: Alive

OCCUPATION: Student at Fawcett High

SPECIES: Human

HAIR COLOR: Light Brown

EYE COLOR: Blue

OTHER INFO: Paralyzed left leg (Uses walking aides)

PERSONALITY/NARRATIVE ROLE

─────── •✧• ──────

Freddy is a free-spirited and fun loving character. He approaches every aspect of his life with a sly humor despite his troubled upbringing and unfortunate life circumstances.

Freddy’s role in the story is to be a friendly opposer to Billy, Countering his more cynical/jaded view on the world with levity.

Freddy is the first sibling to form a meaningful connection with Billy, which allows him to express his struggles/worries openly.

Freddy understands Billy’s struggles and meets him where he’s at emotionally, instead of trying to force a fake persona of happiness onto him like many have before.

LESSON OVERVIEW

─────── •✧• ──────

Freddy’s lesson throughout the story is helping Billy lighten up a little bit so he can form better connections with others.

Helping him understand that even though they’ve both been hurt a lot in the past, he shouldn’t emotionally “shut down” and let those experiences negatively impact how he interacts with the world.

Freddy’s light-hearted and silly personality doesn't come from a place of naivete, but it’s an active choice. A choice that Freddy makes everyday to appreciate the little celebrations in life. Making him really emotionally open and socially approachable despite his troubled upbringing.

End.
