Hi @DCFanArtClub! Happy New Year and welcome to 2022! Thank you all for coming back for another year of art and fun!
Since it is January, we will start with a few weeks of winter or ‘cold’ related challenges.
A great place to start is with Captain Cold himself and, to add more options, the rest of the Flash’s Rogues Gallery.

Thanks Rob! Working on this has added a new random fact in my head… Captain Cold is 6’2" and Heat Wave is 5’11". Never really pictured Captain Cold as that tall…
I haven’t watched much Anime at all (just Trigun). Would you recommend My Hero Academia?
Absolutely!! Very fun and easy to watch. I have drawn a few of the characters for my daughter. She is the one who got me to watch it. It has 4 seasons on Hulu.
This week’s challenge was fun! I had previously drawn both Heat Wave and Captain Cold as they appeared on the Arrowverse shows, leaning into my likeness realistic style. Mick Rory was my favorite character on Legends of Tomorrow and is sorely missed.
I decided to do something different and draw Captain Boomerang. I had a vision of doing just a closeup shot and the more I worked on it, the more he looked like the creepiest clown I had ever seen. I even tried to tone it back by using his earlier costume but still…
JK is right he does have a joker-ish look to him. I think you got the eyes just right, along with several other traits. Like the pork chop sideburns, the hair, costume, and the chin, I mean everything. But that smile is so joker creepy. It’s like he got a dose of Joker toxin somehow. With all that said, I really dig this portrait of the character.
Random thought; a what if the rouge’s gallery was dosed with joker toxin. What would they look like and how would the flash handle that situation?
Very nice! I would not have thought of the height difference. I guess I was used to Michael Scofield and his brother Lincoln, er Arrowverse Captain Cold and Heat Wave where they seemed closer in height. The colors on Cold’s outfit really match the comic book and I know from experience the guns are tricky to do. Great job!
My oldest child, the one I took to my first comic book convention, is a big Academia fan. Has a lot of the Funko pops and is working on cosplay. As passionate talking about the show as I am on comic books
Thanks! I saw how goofy the original Boomerang was and I only intended to make him scarier looking but still in same costume. The Joker grin was completely unintentional but I did like how the mouth turned out as I often have trouble drawing them.
I like the idea of a Joker theme for a challenge now that I’ve gotten a taste
Awesome! What is their favorite character?? Mine is Todoroki and Bakugo. I love watching with my daughter we always “ship” the characters together. (I know I am just a big kid!)
. Just finished reading there year of the villain stuff so definitely have some ideas there.
Jokerize everyone!
