Okay, I Know I Was Gone For A Little Bit, Sorry About That Lol. I Was Out Of State For The Holidays And

Rough sketch ideas for my version of the rock of eternity. ⚡️🐅🌴

I like to think of it as a floating island covered in old stone ruins and jungle foliage.

The thrones for the champions are near the center of the island. I still need to figure out where I would put the room of infinite doors? Maybe there is a secret entrance that you can open and travel down that is underground in the core of the island.

My plan is to kinda update the rock of eternity to have more to it than just being a cave. Like adding stone ruins and plant life all around gives it an ancient but magical vibe. ~✨

I think adding a jungle kinda rainforest vibe to the island is also good for adding Tawny into the story. Giving them a natural habitat to run around while they assist the wizard.

Also I think in my version of the story Tawny is kinda like the wizards right-hand pet.

They have a magical gemstone in their forehead that gives them them telepathy, so that they can talk to people.

They’re very educated in magic, and they have been assisting the wizard with magical deeds for hundreds of years.

This is my version of Mary Bromfield. ^_^

Right now I’ve just been experimenting with how I would write my own version of the Shazam origin stories and what modifications I could make to the character dynamics to make it my own. As of right now I deciding to change the sibling lineup a little bit to make Mary and Billy closer in age. I think that this would really emphasize both of their personalities, him being a bold, humorous trouble maker. And then her being a shy, wallflower kinda girl who tries to keep herself out of trouble.

This puts Freddy as the oldest sibling, which I’m not really sure how much I like that idea so far. Maybe he could kinda use his goofy nature to have a good older brother dynamic with the other kids. Idk I’m still working on it.

If you have any ideas or suggestions for this storyline please comment below!! ^_^ ⚡️💗

Some random Billy & Darla sketches tonight because I want to get more comfortable with posting unfinished art,,, 🌻🩸⚡️💜🎉

Maybe I’ll post some more sketches soon also just to practice storytelling by using my art :p yk how it is.

Okay bye!!~ ✨

Another Samara Doodle that I added to my sketchbook.

I should draw her and Billy actually together sometime but we’ll see. 🌿💕

Handmade DC intro title card for a Shazam film that I made up!!⚡️

This post is kinda interesting because I have not tried my hand at video editing in a while. I’m hoping to get one of my friends to help me install photoshop on my computer so I can remake this sequence with actual 3D assets. But for now? They’re hand drawn in procreate.

I thought I would share some behind the scenes of how I made this for anyone who might be interested in doing something similar! :D

[ Behind the Scenes Info Below ⬇️ ]

Okay so I decided to make this intro as kinda like a “ooh what if I made my own Shazam film? How would I do the opening DC title? I would want it to be like a dark and spooky night, then have the camera be panning down through the clouds. Then I could easily transition into the opening scene because that takes place during a dark and stormy night. OOoOoO.”

But first, in order to do that I had to make modifications to the DC logo. I didn’t want to use any premade 3D assets they had; I wanted to make my own. However, I don’t currently have photoshop, so I had to improvise and make a 2D logo kinda look 3D with some extra layers and shading tricks. I did this in procreate, but any art app will do really. Just keep your preferred perspective in mind.

Then after I was done with making sure my perspective was all good and in check I then proceeded to decorate the hell out of the logo with a bunch of clipping masks lol. I just slapped a bunch of different things on there. Some lense flares, some random brushes, some multiply layers, whatever. I didn’t really have a plan in mind when I did this I just kinda went with the vibes.

Then after that I made another file where I just worked on the little sparkle effect that I added in. For the sparkle effect I just picked like a default brush in procreate that looked pretty and then animated it to do a little slide across the letter “D”.

Next, I did some work on the backgrounds. I made sure to have really “tall” files so that way I could make them slide down in my video editor. This kinda gives that vibe that we are descending through the clouds, hopefully towards an establishing shot, for our opening scene, for our fake movie.

I made two parts for this. One animated background where I changed to opacity of the backlight for each frame to kinda give the illusion that lightning was peaking through the clouds. The second was just some clouds that I was gonna overlay on top of the DC logo, so it just felt more like everything was in the scene together.

I would provide video examples of this, but tumblr only allows me to upload one video per post. And if you’re wondering what brushes I used to this? I just googled “Procreate free cloud brushes” and downloaded the top result.

The ones I’m using are made by an artist named DI, and I got them off of gumroad. Info for their socials provided in the third image below.

And then once I had all of those assets together I just edited them all together in a program called HitFilm Express. I used to like it a lot since it’s free, and I used to use it to edit YouTube videos. That was back when I used to upload my Minecraft videos with my friends online lol. However, recently HitFilm has put a lot of features I used to use behind a paywall so :/. I’m probably going to look for alternatives sometime soon.

Normally I don’t mind being restricted in some sense for a free program, but they disabled the ability to fade clips in and out, and I think that’s a vital tool. It’s a shame to see it locked behind a paywall because I used it in pretty much all my projects.

And lastly the audio! I just found free to use clips of rain sounds, thunder claps, and then some ambient music. The track you can hear in this short clip is the intro to the song Redeye - Green House (1994). The artist is also known as Tobias Beldermann if any of you guys were curious where I got that from.

Buttttt yeah! That’s about all I have for showing you guys how I made my little 5 second clip. I’m not really one who’s qualified to make “tutorials” in any sense, because most of what I post online is just me dicking around and having fun, so I don’t want to be super serious. But, I also like showing my process just so if anyone out there is maybe interested in doing something similar, well then they have some ideas for where to start.

Anyways, if you guys want to read my first couple scenes for my Shazam story Shazam:City of Brotherly Love I’m going to link it here.

It’s still a work in progress, and if I end up doing any edits I’m just going to make them to the the post itself. Just because it’s not really worth it to me, posting almost identical chapters/scenes over, and over again lol.

Okiii byyeee!! I hope you enjoyed!! ~✨

Work in progress low res screenshot of my version of the Shazamly!! ⚡️

I mostly formatted my WIP like this because I am in between art styles right now and just drawing for the sake of fun atm before I settle on a style >_>

But so far we got Mary,Billy,Freddy, and Darla!

Writing below!! ✍️📝💞💗🌷

Ok so in my version of the story Mary and Billy are both 15. Mary is a few months older. Freddy is 17. And Darla is 13. I mostly just want to focus on these 4 characters since I think having 6 siblings is a lot,,, I think I can build a really good dynamic between these 4 and have them all get a good amount of development and interactions!!

~

We got Billy who is the main character obs. He’s gonna have a reserved personality at first and slowly slide more towards a friendly, bold, and impulsive personality. Especially once he gets comfortable with the other siblings. He can be reckless at times, especially when building off ideas with Freddy. However, he does have a strong moral compass that keeps him grounded.

Mary is his complete and total opposite. She’s a very anxious goody two shoes who tries to keep her siblings out of trouble. She gets overwhelmed easy, and relies on her siblings to bring her back to reality and calm her mind when needed.

Freddy is the most social sibling. In this version he’s kinda a grifter. Kinda like now in the nu52 when he was selling forged doctor notes to kids. He does things like that. But, he’s very extroverted and a lot of people know him for his colorful reputation. He loves being the oldest of the group using his influence both for fun and mischief.

And Darla is pretty much who she always is. The youngest, the sweetest, the one who expresses her love for her siblings the most. She’s very kind and she works hard to empathize with others. She’s the first to help misunderstandings and resolve other’s conflicts, especially when her siblings are fighting.

Hopefully I will draw them all together soon!! 💞

The Rock Of Eternity! 🌿🐅🪨⚡️✨🌴

The Rock of Eternity in my version of the Shazam story is a magical floating island that is apart of a magical otherworld! I have some other drawings I sketched out showing the islands in-full and like the magic train. But for this drawing I wanted to focus on the thrones of the champions!

You my notice that there is 4 siblings in my story, but only 3 thrones. That is an intentional choice :).

The colors are still kinda cooler than I wanted them to be? I was trying to give a warm, jungle kinda vibe,,, but that’s okay lol. I might adjust the final colors a little more if I end up drawing this location again.

You might also notice my 3D model of the island below! I included this to give you guys an idea of what I was envisioning for this location.

Anyways, enjoy! ~✨

Progress work below!! :D
