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 thatโs 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 ] ๐ด๐ ๐ชจโก๏ธ
Just read the new Shazam comic and thinking about re-designing my outfit for Freddy. I thought the blue scarf was a serve, but I think I only really liked it in Dan Moraโs art style lol.
Anyways, as I was reading I was thinking about how Iโm kinda not a fan of when writers kinda write Shazam & Billy as two different people? Iโve seen a few iterations of the comics do this but Iโm never sure why? It just kinda seems like more work imo to write them as separate characters???
Maybe there is some appeal in like the magical โother-selfโ or โidealized-selfโ areas of fantasy, but I feel like the Shazam mythos covers that either way? Anyways thatโs my hot take lmk which you prefer and drop a comment if you wanna let me know your reasoning~ โจ
Bonus: please enjoy these random sketches xoxo
This is my version of Mary Bromfield. ^_^
Right now Iโve 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 Iโm 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 Iโm still working on it.
If you have any ideas or suggestions for this storyline please comment below!! ^_^ โก๏ธ๐
Working on a Freddy re-design as well, but this oneโs a bit of a rush job because itโs like 1am and I really wanna go to bed LOL
I also have some concept models done of the Rock of Eternity as well. I want it to kinda be a floating island diamond-shape looking thing. The bottom half of the diamond kinda like the floating islands in Steven Universe, and then the top part being kinda grassy mountains helping to make the diamond shape,,, I also need to add the little thrones in there. I was also thinking of maybe a little cave area in the mountain, but idk yet. I obi donโt have the skills to model that so I would have to draw it all by hand,,, so weโll see~ โจโก๏ธโค๏ธ

INTERNAL CONFLICT OVERVIEW
โโโโโโโโ โขโงโข โโโโโโโ
GOAL/DESIRE
After years of disappointment in the foster system, Billy's goal/desire throughout the story is to find his โtrue familyโ where he wants to feel a true sense of love & belonging.
FEAR
Billy fears that he will never find a group of people who will want to love/care for him & that he will spend the rest of his life isolated and alone.
MISBELIEF
Billy is under the misbelief that his birth mother is the only person who can give him this sense of belonging. Billyโs memories of her from his early childhood are the only moments of his life he ever felt truly cared for.
CHARACTER ARC
โโโโโโโโ โขโงโข โโโโโโโ
Billy starts the story as a troubled teen who lets his misbelief that his birth mother is his one โtrue familyโ guide his every decision.
This leads to him to act cold/distant from the people in his life that are trying to make an emotional connection with him. Heโs had a long history of being emotionally burned before, and heโs not interested in getting attached to another temporary home.
Throughout the arc of his story he learns to open himself up to the Vasquez siblings. When the Vasquez siblings give Billy that sense of love/belonging he was looking for, Billy learns that family isn't defined by blood but by people who genuinely care about you.
End.

Concept art Iโm working on for Tawny and The Wizard. I wanted to make the Wizard a little more unconventional than a regular Wizard, I added a bell to the end of his hat and some dangling stars from the brim, just to try out something fresh. I also was trying to work on a full body outfit for him and decided he would probably do most of his wizard work in pajamas because heโs chill like that.
Also, just a side note the green sticky notes covering some of the words on the page arenโt like โhidden loreโ or anything like that, Iโm just dyslexic lol.
Anyways below is a w.i.p of his full-body outfit, so yeah! I know the line art looks completed but I might shift around a few mornings before I move onto colors. I always make 2-3 rounds of line art before I settle on something lol. โก๏ธโจ๐ช๐๐ฟ๐

Work in progress low res screenshot of my version of the Shazamly!! โก๏ธ
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!! โ๏ธ๐๐๐๐ท
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. Heโs 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. Sheโs 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 heโs kinda a grifter. Kinda like now in the nu52 when he was selling forged doctor notes to kids. He does things like that. But, heโs 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. Sheโs very kind and she works hard to empathize with others. Sheโs the first to help misunderstandings and resolve otherโs conflicts, especially when her siblings are fighting.
Hopefully I will draw them all together soon!! ๐
Neurodiversity strikes again with my Shazam! Hyper-fixation,,,,
Hereโs my take on the character of Billy Batson. Itโs kinda mostly based off of the 2019 film but also a little bit on the new52 comics soo yeah >_> โก๏ธ
Lol this is actually my first time drawing a superhero so itโs kinda outside of my normal comfort zone
Just finished Darlaโs slightly older design! Now sheโs with everyone else, yay! Sheโs about 15 in this design so all the ages go, Darla 15, Mary 16, Billy 16, Freddy 18. And Iโm done with the main cast now yippieeee! ~โจ
Note: I always say โabout (age)โ when I post designs, because since I have birthdays for all of them it really depends on the time of year Iโm writing In. ๐
But if you were curious of the birthdays I gave them itโs,,,
Darla - March 5th
Mary - September 19th
Billy - December 23rd
Freddy - May 21st
SoOoOoo, yeah! ~โจ
