Another Samara Doodle That I Added To My Sketchbook.

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!! ~✨

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!! ^_^ ⚡️💗

Working on my Mary Marvel design! ~✨

I had a lot of fun doing this one so far although it’s not really a good drawing for a size comparison because I absolutely did not draw her in a neutral/standing pose lol, but such is life.

Btw I’m gonna make her outfit white and gold when I get to coloring tomorrow! :D 🌻⚡️💛✨

Tawny:

Working on a Freddy re-design as well, but this one’s a bit of a rush job because it’s 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 don’t have the skills to model that so I would have to draw it all by hand,,, so we’ll see~ ✨⚡️❤️

Hello! Here is the chapter index for my original Shazam story, called Shazam! City of Brotherly Love. This is the chapter list for the alternate 3rd person rewrite of the story.

This is not the intended way the story is meant to be read since it was originally written as a screenplay. However, if you are interested in reading the screenplay the link is here.

➸ Chapter One

➸ Chapter Two

➸ Chapter Three

➸ Chapter Four

➸ Chapter Five

[ Master List | S!CoBL Index ]

Making more designs and concepts for the daughters of Atlas,,,,

Still working on these three, but I’ve been busy with work lol. 🧡🤍🩵

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

Hii all!!

Sorry I haven’t posted,,, my Shazam hyper-fixation has subsided.

I probably won’t be active on this account until it’s back in full swing again.

Thank you for your understanding!! ❤️⚡️

Added Rosa to the lineup!! 🌹💕❤️

She’s such a sweet and loving mother figure to all her children and is a big believer in second chances. She’s got some pretty artsy hobbies and loves her husband Victor! :D

Also her dress? I have no idea if anything like that dress exists in real life, but I figured it would be a cute sweetheart cut neckline with a nude mesh for the long sleeves. Then the design on the skirt kinda is supposed to give a rose petal vibe to it. SooOo yeah! :D
