Hi @DCFanArtClub! Besides Valentine’s Day, February is notable as being Black History Month. This week, I’d like to shine the spotlight on a few characters that are relatively new to the DC Universe and who have not yet been featured in any of our weekly challenges (I think!). The links below are to series available right here on DCUI.
Green Lantern Sojourner “Jo” Mullein appeared in the 12 issue Far Sector series.
President Superman of Earth-23 appeared in Infinite Frontier and Justice League Incarnate (not yet on DCUI)
Since the characters above aren’t necessarily a big part of DC history (yet), any other black character is also eligible this week. Feel free to draw Cyborg, Black Lightning, Vixen, Mister Terrific, Nubia, Rocket, Icon, Static or any of your other favorites if you’d like.
Let’s acknowledge the past and look to the future for Black History Month!
Due Date: February 19, 2022
Discussion, works-in-progress and final submission all in the thread below.

Nice it is a cool design.
I think I’m going to for more bat with Jace. Drew him before with the future future state Trinity but never solo so want to see how that works out.
I actually just bought the entire Far Sector book and I’m obsessed (tho I haven’t read it yet) the art is INSANE. And the designs are gorgeous. Jo has this coat design that I can’t get over since it’s made with the rings power Finally someone putting the ring to good use!
Totally agree! Jamal Campbell did the art and designs on both Far Sector and Naomi. He did amazing work designing two brand new worlds back to back for DC.
I knew I was forgetting some people. Jackson Hyde, Bumblebee and even Green Lantern John Stewart! I’m sure there’s more…
I redrew Aqualad, but I was looking at the reference and said to myself ‘dont draw an outline. learn to live without one.’ so I went about tracing where each color belonged and in the end, I still had an outline
My brother saw me doing the challenge and decided to draw Black Manta with a banana sword. I’m not sure if Ive taught him well or not. I would have gone for a banana boomerang.
Whoaa so fun fact, now that I’m looking through his old art I used to follow him yearrrrs ago on deviant art! Not surprised hes made it to making whole series’ I think I still have some of his art saved to my PC for inspiration:
