I sketch like crazy but, I'm trying to get in the hang of doing more refined work again ... and i've been inspired by LW lately SO ...
Since Future requested one (sort of)
I imagined his screen name was a play off of the book 'the once and future king.
< btw this is just my version of the name .. what i was thinking of to do the sketch ... it might not coincide with Future King's idea of his character/screen name>
so ... i made his outfit like a knights ... but a bit more alien and futuristic. <he's got the space suit esque collar> the logo on his chest is a serpent biting it's tale .... a little different from the usual hourglass or clock to symbolize time. I thought if he were from the future he's be a alien looking, elongated, and icy because the stars at the end of time will be cold. Originally i thought he might be shadowed by alternate timeline personas, or shades of alternate futures ... which got turned into a 'time cloak' of stars and a window to other realities. Also, his face is obscured because you can't know the future <ha ha>
my imaginary version of this name is that he's like the spectre or the question ... a bit more big time and abstract than the mainstream super heroes.
here's the quick concept sketch i did to start ...

I don't think it's bad, I grew up watching Digimon and other anime and it seems typical to me.

And the ouroboros (snake eating own tail) is a really cool touch on Future King's costume.

I love future king, especially the worm's eye perspective. The bottom of his feet are so cool! His hair and the shadows and cape. Actually, everything about your concept and execution in that picture is wonderful.
I'd love to see a background setting to match. Thanks for sharing your work.

This ones on newsprint and I had to photograph it cause my scanner is not working. so It turned out a bit dark.
This is Titus, an uber villain trailing the LMB, who are travelling via merchant ship. Power Boy has just arrived to give the LMB very bad news. Here he's meeting Shark Lad, Lolita, and Time Teller Lad.
