Time for another pulse-pounding, pants wetting installment of the DC2 Art Challenge!
This time around it's make your own DC2 Anachronism, that is...
Draw any DC character in any time period other than the present!
What if our heroes where born at an earlier date? What would they have looked like? What sort of strange and exotic costumes would they have worn? Will we see a Caveman Superman, a Pirate Wonder Woman, a Medieval Batman, a Ninja Nightwing, a Victorian Green Lantern, or some kind of other mindbending reinterpretation of our favorite heroes altogether? Fire up your brains and sharpen your pencils. It can be a sketch, a drawing, a crayon doodle, a painting, or a digital masterpiece. All entries welcome! Let's see what you got!!
This one will run until midnight on Friday, August 8th! After that we'll open up the polls for some friendly voting on which is the audience favorite. Don't delay and don't miss out!

Wow! Can you believe I actually had a picture like this just sitting in my Photobucket account?  Explain THAT Charlie!  |

I'm sorry, but due to legal difficulties all representations of beverages and condiments had to be restricted in this Art Challenge. Nice one, Odious! That art style looks really familiar to me for some reason. |

Try sending him a PM, the name will seem even more familiar...
Hey, wait, what?! You think you have stopped me haven't you? You haven't even begin to see the levels of absurdity my mind can wrangle up at a whim!

You know, Ramon, if you don't really want to participate, you don't have to.

Fun challenge, Brandon! Doc, I love that Supercaveman! Roy, Steampunk Red Tornado makes me want to write a Steampunk Elseworlds--- do more! Ramon... eh, I don't get it  . |

A Steampunk Elseworlds would be awesome, Dave! And I can't think of any writer more qualified to write. And I can tell you from the number of hits I've gotten on my DA gallery from the few steampunk pieces I've done, it's pretty popular these days!

It's not funny or a mockery of the contest, it's just Superman at the beginning of all space and time. I thought it was pretty self explanatory actually. I guess not. I guess I'll do something else.

I never really "got" steampunk it looks cool though Roy. It would look nice with a rusty color job on it.

Well, the artwork is solid, Ramon, but it's still not exactly what I had in mind for this Challenge. Oh yeah, that and the fact I won't be able to sleep properly for awhile after seeing this.

Why not, it's a current incarnation of the joker in the 1940s. That's a dc character in a time period other than the present. I just can't win. Maybe I should just draw a Robin hood version of Green Arrow and just call it a day but where's the fun in that? I might as well drop doing challenges too! haha

I see what you're doing there and that's a cool idea. Characters incarnations of different ages clashing. The kids watched the original Batman movie from the 60s the other day and I had a hard time reconciling that the Caesar Romero Joker and the Heath Ledger one were supposed to be the same character.
It was supposed to be like period specific dress like the examples given in the original post. Like say an Ancient Greek Captain Marvel where his costume is toga-ed up with sandals and the weird little beard and all. For mine, I'm doing a few Justice Leaguers from the 70s and they'll look like the styles from that time.

I got two but one I wouldn't able to finish. The image makes me laugh too much to finish it. The other one will be finished hopefully tonight.
Too much time on my hands at work...maybe I'll watch Rocky Balboa again.

That's a good problem to have. Can't wait to see the pic. Not sure what the other is but now I'm curious about it. |

That 70s League...  Glam Flash, Punk Canary, and Disco Lantern. If I hadn't of run short of time on this pic you might have also been subjected to Roller Derby Wonder Woman, Ren Faire Green Arrow, Fear and Loathing Batman, or Blaxploitation Black Lightning. |
