Description For the 5th Avenger piece, here's Luke Cage aka Powerman (cant believe he used to wear yellow unbuttoned shirts and a tiara).

I dunno, but im not to happy with this. I like how his pose turned out and the shading... maybe the lack of details on the legs. Learn as we go i guess.

No references used. Funny though coz he kinda reminds me of Rampage.

everyone's commenting how different this guy looks, so I googled him, and .. lol~! yellow suit + afro~!@

You have just reinterpreted him in a way that would make his creators proud :}
I love how dark everything is, even if he's a goodguy, he's one menacing bad ass

semaj007 In reply to Presteza [2010-03-07 05:41:05 +0000 UTC]

Haha... one of the worst costumes of yesteryears! I wish i could take the credit for his current look but its basically how he's portrayed in comicbooks now... jeans and pants plus the usual neck chain, glasses or whatnot.

But he's definitely one mean mofo and im excited to see a live movie version of this guy as Marvel is planning to make a movie of him.

Presteza In reply to semaj007 [2010-03-07 12:04:13 +0000 UTC]

ha, I bet he wore the tiara and yellow shirt just to get the badguys to snicker, then he'd feel justified in pummelling em within an inch of their lives :}

Very nice....I will agree with your comment on the legs and lower body - perhaps just one shade too dark...but stunning none the less, as he rises out of the gloom!!!

Ha ha I definitively prefer your suit, than the original one !!

He's cool, the effect of his skin is sooooo nice ! And I love how we can't see his legs ! (contrary than you, if I have understood your comment)

Very effective. (and wow, you didn't drawing him on a grey background !)

semaj007 In reply to Ludimie [2010-03-06 10:19:53 +0000 UTC]

Haha... he actually doesnt have any costume at all. he juz wears pants and shirt.

And you did understand my comment perfectly. thanks Didie! Im really glad you like the way i rendered him... and the very simple BG too!

I think it looks great, James.
While I wasnt crazy about Power Man's 'pimp costume' at least it was a costume!
Every good superhero needs a costume and Cage has been without one too long.

Thanks man! Im glad that it doesnt look as simple as i think.

I think Cage seems to work well with his current looks even if his costume is juz shirt and pants (plus the casual neck chain and headgear). After that yellow costume, he had this skin tight long sleeve shirt... it was a costume but still looked casual.
