"Project Rooftop is hosting a tribute to Mike Wieringo. For those who've never been to their site, they invite people to redesign comic book characters. Not a re-imagining of them - but to imagine you've been assigned to take over the art of the comic and the editor asks for a new costume. For Ringo, they asked for new designs of Bart Allen. Whether it be Impulse, Kid Flash or The Flash.

The character I'm submitting is Flash. I payed homage to his Impulse and Kid Flash days by having the top of the mask open, allowing his hair to show - and incorporating the ever-present lightning bolt design element to the costume. Also present is a subtle, or not so subtle - depending, arrow design from the lightning bolts meeting. I've kept the white oval on the chest as well. He's got goggles to protect his eyes and those ear antenae...

The piece was in part inspired by the Mike Turner cover of the Flash. I threw in the lightning in the back. Didn't spend too much time with the blending of the two images, though. If I had the time, I'd add some blurring and lightning trails coming off of Flash, like on the Mike Turner cover... But I digress...

Let me know what you all think...
