Description I've been playing about with my style lately & I thought I would give it a go at drawing Wildman again. I'm pretty happy with the results.

Name: Wildman
Real Name: Oscar Wildaman
Age: 32
Height: 5'8"
Occupation: Head of Wildaman Industries, part time explorer, superhero
Powers/Abilities: While wearing the amulet Wildman can gain powers based on any animal alive today (example: gorilla=super strength cheetah=super speed), High IQ from the best education

Bio: Oscar Wildaman was born into a rich family. His mother & father owned Wildaman Industries which creates new technology for personal & military use. They supplied weapons only to countries allied with their native England but their personal use tech was for sale to all. As a child Oscar lost his parents in a freak "accident". They were on a family holiday when his dad took them bungiee jumping. Oscar didn't join them because he was afraid of the height so he sat at the top and waited for his parents. As they jumped their rope snapped sending them to their death. This traumatised Oscar for life and gave him a perminant fear of heights & falling. For the rest of his childhood he was raised by family & house hold staff. Wildaman Industries was taken over by his grandfather until Oscar turned 18 & was put in charge. Around this time Oscar developed a love of exploring the world and used the money he made from his company to fund the trips. For years he would take off with his childhood friend Nigel Terre and teams of locals to explore ruins, caves and pretty much anything else of interest. Years later he heard news of some ruins found deep in the Amazon rainforest that were supposedly from a forgotten civilization. Only 1 man from the team had survived to tell the tale. This was too good for Oscar to pass up so he told Nigel about it & the 2 of them took off with metahumans to protect them (in the DU timeline these were Great-Man & Agent 42x). After a few weeks of hunting they eventually found the ruins & took a look inside 1 of the temples. While trying to decipher some of the markings, Oscar & Nigel fell through a trap door ending up in a room full of plant life. There they met Gaia herself who told them she had expected the pair. She told them the tale of Wildman & gave Oscar the amulet telling them he was chosen to be her champion. She also gave Nigel his powers and told the duo about the Oil Creature who had been awoken after millenia trapped under the North Sea. Once the creature was defeated Gaia let Oscar carry on as Wildman & use his powers for good on the condition that should she ever need him he would be there.

Great work he been hitting the gym getting well chiz in the face and colors are strong as well.

The pose fits him well

Question: I always wonder why you choose to make his eyes all white? Instead of regular eyes
And happy you kept the underwear over suit it gives him his original
super hero look

Thanks I've been trying to work on better muscle definition in my characters & the facial features needed some work too.

His white eyes are part of his costume. He has regular eyes but when he puts the mask on they're covered. Kind of like when heroes like Spider-Man or Batman put on their masks & cover their eyes

Yeah I hate faces. That why I try to give every body masks.

I don't mind drawing faces myself but if I think a character needs a mask then they'll get 1. If you look through my characters though very few cover their faces

Thanks I noticed his features look more defined too when I was inking him. Hopefully when I redo every one else I'll get the same results
