[Wesley Dodds]

Cool. I'm not an artist or anything but this seems like a good opportunity to post the "Mister Freeze Redesign" contest piece I entered a couple months ago but forgot to submit:

Like I said: Not an artist, I just get bored easy.

Thanks for sticking this in my head...

Now this is a story all about how
My life got flipped-turned upside down
And I liked to take a minute just sit right there
And tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel-Air

In west Philadelphia born and raised
On the playground is where I spent most of my days
Chillin out, maxin, relaxing all cool,
And all shooting some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys who were up to no good
Started making trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one lil fight and my mom got scared
And said "You're moving with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air"
I Begged and pleaded with her day after day,
But she packed my suitcase and sent me on my way
She gave me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket
I put my walkman on and said I might as well kick it

First class yo this is bad
Drinking orange juice out of a champaine glass
Is this what the people of Bel-Air living like?

Hmm this might be allright
But wait I hear prissy, bourgeois and all that
Is this the type of place they should send this cool cat
I don't think so, I'll see when I get there
I hope they're prepared for the prince of Bel-Air

Well ah the plain landed and when I came out
There was a dude that looked like a cop standing there with my
name
out
I aint trying to get arrested yet I just got here
I sprang with the quickness like lightning dissapeared
I whistled for a cab and when it came near
The license plate said FRESH and it had dice in the mirror
If anything I can say this cab was rare
But I thought naw forget it yo homes to Bel-Air

I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8
And I yelled to the cabby "Yo homes smell ya later"
I looked at my kingdom I was finally there
To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel Air

Very nice work Ring Deacon .

 

[Ring Deacon]

Thanks B-Man. I worked hard on this one. I based it on a manip I did a long while back. I picked up a pencil for the first time in a few years and sketched it out then inked and colored it in PS CS5. The buildings and Supes flying are done from scratch as well. This may have made me pick up the bug to start drawing again.

 

[B-man]

Here's my entry.lol

[B-man]
