Lantern Storm's own superhero and villain designs

Lantern Storm's own superhero and villain designs

In this showcase, I will bring to you several superheroes and villains of my own design and creation. Almost all of these are drawn with pencil and colored using sharpie colored markers. On many of these I've used the same character outline and built my characters from that.

I have a huge collection of both movies and comics... As a kid and teenager I collected Marvel but within the past few years I've mainly gotten into DC Comics particularly Superman, Batman, Green Lantern and Firestorm. Other favorites of mine are Outburst and The Ray. I've recently started getting back into Star Trek which TNG was one of my favorite shows as a kid. I'm married to a beautiful woman named Elizabeth have 2 girls (Marissa 9 and Alexandria 2) and a son who's a year old named Edward. I own my own handyman and lawn care business.

Best era ever costumewise!

I'll see what I can do, but not promising anything... I became inspired by Sentinal while watching "Heroes" on demand... I felt the character had a lot of potential so yeah. Most of the characters I designed were greatly inspired by main stream characters... Ie. the costume design for Solar Storm was inspired by Psyclone from Masters of the Universe. Titan was inspired by Superman and Shazam... etc etc etc. If I can find an artist willing to do a comic book with me, I would absolutely love to do it as I'm more of a writer and developer.

Reminds me of the early image stuff, I don't like your costume design but your art is amazing, less 90's and I'd totally read it.

Lantern, put out a classified if you want to collaborate with an artist.

There is a huge difference between "being inspired by" a character and blatantly ripping off a character.

I could do this for every character you "created" but here are a few samples:




I'm not trying to be a jerk. I actually had someone do the same thing to me when I was younger. They looked at a character I "created" called ACE and said; "No, that's Gambit. Its a good drawing but you didn't create a new character, you just drew a new costume on an old one."

I credit that guy for a lot! It forced me to be more creative and think outside the box. I hope this comment does the same for you.

Good luck!

@Woodinator- Look at those designs again... Guardian's mask and Kyle's mask are completely different... Guardian's mask is a partial cowl that wraps completely around his head and is connected to the neck of his costume. #2, Yes Champion was inspired by He-Man, however he-man has short hair while Champion has long hair, Champion's sword is also massive while He-Man's is fairly average. He-man's chest straps are grey and his belt is orange while Champion's are gold... He-Man is also clean shaven while Champion is bearded. Oh yeah and Champion is actually wearing pants while He-man wears a fur thong. I could name a number of characters who are more of a rip off than Champion is. #3. Solar Storm's design was inspired by Syclone. But look at their costume design... Solar Storm isn't wearing his underwear over his pants, he also doesn't have those red spheres on his arms, legs, and helmet. He does however have yellow pads on his gloves and boots as well as knee pads attached to his boots, red eyes not white, completely different powers etc. #4. Jade Dragon has short hair, she wears a thong not pants, she also wears a mask and uses a si. She is wearing a traditional oriental outfit, with golden armored knee pads, gloves, a utility belt around her leg and also possesses powers in which Chung li doesn't. If you're going to accuse me of ripping off other characters, make sure you get your facts straight. So go ahead, you said you could do that for every character I've created, show me who I ripped on on all my other characters... truth is you can't... there are enough differences with each and every one of my characters from the ones I was inspired by that they could be considered a new creation. Look at superman vs Captain Marvel vs Sentry vs Thor... He-Man vs Conan vs Blackstarr vs Lion-o... voltron vs power rangers vs vr troopers vs beetle borgs... Black Bat vs Batman vs Daredevil vs Spawn vs Wolverine... Captain America vs Super Patriot vs Star girl vs Legends of the Shield vs (Marvel's) Patriot... Hulk vs Doomsday vs Juggernaut vs Solomon Grundy... Fantastic Four vs Challengers of the Unknown vs Cyborg Superman (Hank Henshaw)... darkseid vs Thanos vs Mongul... Galactus vs Brainiac... Spider-man vs Web vs Outburst... and lets not forget... The Phantom vs Punisher vs Batman vs The Black Bat vs The Shadow vs Dick Tracy vs James Bond etc.
