Description This was originally a commission that went unpaid and unfinished, but I liked the basic body so much that I decided to salvage it. The legs were pretty thick in comparison to the rest of the body, so my options came down to either Nicki Minaj or The Flash. I chose to draw the one with the least outlandish outfit I'm imagining that this is Wally West as The Flash, so I took a few cues from my beloved Young Justice toon's Kid Flash. Lately, I've been completely obsessed with Injustce: Gods Among Us, so you'll probably notice a few nods to that version as well.

You can buy the original 11x17 on ebay [link]

Man, I hope the Flash can balance that top weight.

Cause he's looking jacked.

As soon as I saw this, I knew it was Wally. The Kid Flash goggles are a nice touch! Why haven't the mainstream comics ever done this, especially with Barry's return? It would be a great way to differentiate the two.

I don't think that Kid Flash ever had those goggles in the comics...I think they were an invention of the master character designer Phil Barbossa for the Young Justice animated series. Plus, Wally doesn't even exist in the New 52 continuity, which totally blows because he has always been my favorite speedster

You're right (mostly ). Never noticed Kid Flash didn't wear them (well, I assumed the series' costume was accurate to the comics).

It's BETTER than the comics! If you don't follow already on DA, I highly recommend it. He's one of the best character designers out there. His take on Robin is probably my favorite of all time.

This looks awesome!

And apparently Wally has used his time in Limbo to work out XD

Love the YJ details and the way the suit looks; new but pays homage to the original.
