Description After that epic trip through memory lane I bring you something that's been sitting on my computer for a few days now, and most of you will probably be like "what the hell is this". Elaboration is needed.

This is essentially fanart for a pilot for a TV series for a school project of a friend of mine that I incidentally agreed to do some backgrounds for. You still with me?

The series' official name is Captain Bullshit , created by ~Yorokei . I think it's best to let him do the elevator pitch in the following paragraph;

Captain Bullshit is a 30-year old Superhero wannabe. All of his fathers/grandfathers etc. have been superheroes, and now HE wants to be one. That would be fine, but there is one major problem: he's an idiot who's only in it for the glory. To achieve that stardom that is superheroism, he lives without compromise to reach that goal. Even if that means hurting people in the process.

This picture is pretty much the opposite of that, showing the hero-wannabe in a glorious pose. Did this in a frightening short period of time of less than an hour during one of our chat sessions.

Go check out ~Yorokei 's gallery while you're at it, and check out the Captain Bullshit deviation he posted.

Awesome, and thanks for this . I was waiting for you to post this one, actually. I'll add it to my blog, too. Thanks for the awesome art!

Shouldn't he have higher boot?

Perhaps this is one of those linguistic issues, but even urbandictionary.com can't give me a clear definition of the phrase "boot" in this context. If you're referring to his boots, then yes, I might had to show the top of them, like in the original design.

When people complain about dealing with bullshit they always say 'I should have worn my boots."

Ah, it makes more sense now.

Yorokei and I did discuss how he rationalizes giving himself such a weird name. Let's just say that he has an... unconventional way of thinking.

As long as it gets you doing more art, I'm not complaining.

It's like if Plastic Man and Deadpool had a gayby.

Wow, you're right, he does look a lot like them. Good thing his original design is a lot goofier and plastic-lookin'.

Also, I had to look up those names because I was unsure who they are. Boy, superheroes and me are always a disaster.

You need to read information sites like TV Tropes. It's brief enough so that you know enough to get by in a conversation! But chances are you'll get addicted. Badly.

Oh, I'm very familiar with TV Tropes... and how intriguing it can be. It's like quicksand, but with hyperlinks.
