Okay Kind Of A Different Post Than My Normal Stuff But I Did Just Want To Put All Of These In One Place.

Kinda a more interesting post for tonight. This is a comic page mock-up that I did for the third act of my Shazam story! ^_^ ⚡️

The idea here is that this is kinda the “inside” of the spell that allows Billy to share his powers with his siblings. In this scene Billy’s has just gotten ahold of The Wizard’s staff, causing it to activate its magic. So, we see a glimpse of Billy and all his siblings starting to magically float off the ground during the final battle against Black Adam. Showing that they are being affected by a spell of some sort.

Then, suddenly Billy is transported into this “mind palace”, that is a kinda like a shared liminal space to represent the connection Billy has formed with his siblings over the course of the story. When Billy is transported here, he finds shadowy figures of his siblings standing in the middle of a black, shadowy, fog.

He quickly approaches them, scared and confused. He’s unsure of what is happening, because he’s just not that familiar with magic yet. He’s trying to talk to Freddy, and ask him for help, but Freddy is not able to respond/interact with Billy. This shadowy figure is kinda like a “placeholder” for Freddy, and the other siblings as well. So, that’s why he’s unresponsive in this scene.

However, while this spell is happening, Tawny is trying to get through to Billy. Shouting at him to say the magic word, “Shazam” and complete the spell. Then, once Billy hears Tawny’s voice echo through this liminal space, he says the magic word, completes the spell, snaps back into reality, and sees that he’s temporarily empowered his foster siblings with the powers of living lighting. Meaning, this is my introduction to the Shazamly! Yay! 🎉

Once the spell is completed these shadowy “placeholders” for his siblings will be replaced with their actual consciousness, and they’ll look like their normal selves. Meaning, that when they all are using the powers of Shazam, they’ll have a shared liminal space where they can sense each other’s connection. However, we don’t see this “setting” again for the rest of the story, because it’s not really relevant once Billy has successfully opened his heart, and shared the powers with his siblings.

It will be relevant again if/when I write more stories in this universe. But for now, I’m just focusing on Billy’s origin story and putting the Shazamly in the third act.

But yeah, I just wanted to share this little snippet from the third act of my story. I have pretty much finished outlining my first story completely. I just don’t want to post it here yet, until I’ve turned my outline into like an actual screenplay or something lol. If you’re wondering what I’ve wrote,so far, it’s basically like if the 2019 Shazam film had more of a focus on fantasy and found family, instead of a focus on horror and wish-fulfillment. Which are all good themes but, I just wanted to tell my version of this story, and double down on my favorite tropes. :^).

So if you like Shazam, fantasy, found family, or just fan made stories in general stay tuned, I should have time to format and post my story, in its entirety, pretty soon!

Enjoy~✨

My first design for my version of The Wizard! ⚡️🔮✨🌿

I know this one’s kinda out of the box but I wanted to make him seem kinda in-human and more magical? I guess kinda like help separate him from the humans in the story? Also he has dot eyes when he has his glasses on because drawing the eyes out with everything I have going on near his face was just,,, a lot lol.

Anyways yeah he’s chill but eccentric as fuck lol.

And also a size comparison between The Wizard, Shazam, and Billy just for reference.

Powers of living lighting practice~ ⚡️✨

I was supposed to draw this with two light sources but I also got really into the look of the lighting symbol glow. Makes the whole vibe a lot more dramatic.

Anyways, this took me foreverrrrr just because I added to many little things to try and get the dramatic lighting right, which I normally don’t do. I normally don’t color this dark at all, and I normally just throw some basic cell shading on my art and call it a day lol.

But if you are interested in seeing this drawing with only a soft gradient and some cell shading I will post that below! :D

And if you guys have any ideas or suggestions for character interactions feel free to comment and I’ll see if I might be able to possibly draw some of them? Maybe? Possibly? Idk lol I’m very new to drawing character interactions so we’ll see how far I can push those boundaries within myself lol.

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.

Hello to the uninitiated, my name is Grimm and I'm currently working on a couple new projects right now, so here is my FAQ!

What project are you working on now?

Currently I'm working on writing my own version of Shazam to post here to tumblr.

The current title is Shazam: City of Brotherly Love or as I like to tag it Shazam:CoBL.

What's your version of the story gonna be about?

I have plans to outline Billy Baton's origin story and his new life at the Vasquez house. If you enjoy the new52 version of Shazam, or the 2019 movie you will see similar themes and character progressions.

You can read my sample here.

Will you be making your version of the story into a comic?

Right now I currently don't have plans to make the entire story into a comic. However, I do plan on translating a handful of my personal favorite moments into small mini-comics. :)

Do you have a master list?

Yesss. Here you go. [ Master List ]

Do you post any other art?

Yea, if you wanna see my non-shazam related stuff I have an art account on Instagram username is @/grimmbitty.

Neurodiversity strikes again with my Shazam! Hyper-fixation,,,,

Here’s my take on the character of Billy Batson. It’s kinda mostly based off of the 2019 film but also a little bit on the new52 comics soo yeah >_> ⚡️

Lol this is actually my first time drawing a superhero so it’s kinda outside of my normal comfort zone

You know despite not even drawing Shazam for a year yet, my character designs still go through constant little tweaks and edits. I’m trying really hard on trying to draw form & 3D shapes right now though, and that’s causing some technical issues when I draw Billy’s hair,,, I’ll have to study up on some comics or something haha,,,

Anyways, enjoy! ~✨❤️⚡️
