Description Still working getting the precise visual and color scheme for Vladislav Radkowsky aka Candyman nailed down. While version 2 was primarily purple, I went with a mostly "creamsicle" color motif this time around. It's pretty bright and flamboyant, which works fine for the gummi guardian. I'm not sure I actually like it better than v.2, but it's in character, so that's a good thing.

Have you ever thought about making the various Candyman costumes into seasonal variants? The green can be Christmas, the purple one Valentine or Easter, and this for Halloween.

I haven't really considered it before...but I'll be pondering it now.

Seeing his white colorization reminds me of a marshmallow (which incidentally, isn't a superhero name yet).

I like the variations on his design, but the "gummy" aspect still needs to be fully realized.

That's cause nobody's shot him in any pick I've got posted. Besides, the "gummi" business is more for dramatic alliteration than anything. I've also referred to him as the "candy-coated crusader" and he's pretty obviously not candy coated.

Don't know what it is about him but I love this character and his designs, they have just been stellar. I can tell he's a jokester

Thanks! I'm not often given to creating the wiseacre hero, but I do like Candyman...a lot (which I guess is obvious from all the time I spend on his design).

He's pretty cool and original to be honest, a little goofy with some badass skill isn't bad. Just don't be a Deadpool xD

I can imagine ne'er do wells becoming infuriated with losing to a wise-cracking hero dressed thusly

And that's before he lets loose with his licorice whips.

Defeat by licorice whip could cause even the most hardened criminal to rethink his evil ways!

Yeah, while a pretty solid mid-tier hero, defeat by Candyman isn't something many criminals would brag about. It isn't quite like being taken down by a "grim defender of justice" or anything.

Candyman and Johnny's excellent adventure... also known as "How to give the villains a heart attack".

While not specifically clown-themed, he is a wisecracking hero, so that works.

Well, it's been awhile since I identified the candy themed design elements used, so it isn't like you made some huge, egregious error. He DOES have striking similarities to clown themed heroes. Since it's been so long since his original post, here's hwo his costume elements break down:

Color scheme...candy colored.
Cuffs on boots, gloves and shoulder ruffs...appear like blue cotton candy
Gumdrop "buttons" on torso and shoulders
Mask appears like a lollipop wrapper

He's had a couple changes from his original concept (he used to have a belt and his gloves and boots were candy-cane striped), but his basic look is pretty consistent, mostly the colors have changed as I experiment with getting just the right visual.
