| The Flash (2014) concept art by John Gallagher |
Part of the success of the new The FlashTV series is it's realistic interpretation of the classic villains from the comics. It takes a lot of work to get it right though. Two concept artists that help bring them to the show are John Gallagher and Andy Poon.
John Gallagher and Andy Poon are professional concept artists who've worked on major Hollywood projects like Mockingbird Lane (2012), V (2009) and Arrow (2013).

Girder (John Gallagher)
Here's what Girder looks like on the show and the comic:
Now, here's the concept art
"Unused concept from The Flash. Playing around with the scrap metal found object aesthetic. The original Girder is a bit wonky looking but here was trying to bridge the original with a next gen look." - John Gallagher
Episode Summary: The Flash (Grant Gustin) faces a new meta-human named Tony (Greg Finley), who can turn himself into girded steel at will."
Muliplex (Andy Poon)
Here's what Multiplex looked like on the show:
"In the second episode of The Flash, Flash faces a villain whose power is the ability to multiply himself. Cisco Ramon made up the name 'Captain Clone' for him half way through the episode and at the end he gave him a name that are more familiar to the comic book fans - Multiplex. He was the the first character I got to worked on for The Flash. Like the first season of Arrow, the villains are not quite villainy yet and stilll very grounded visually." - Andy Poon

Official The Flash Summary
"After a particle accelerator causes a freak storm, CSI Investigator Barry Allen is struck by lightning and falls into a coma. Months later he awakens with the power of super speed, granting him the ability to move through Central City like an unseen guardian angel. Though initially excited by his newfound powers, Barry is shocked to discover he is not the only "meta-human" who was created in the wake of the accelerator explosion -- and not everyone is using their new powers for good. Barry partners with S.T.A.R. Labs and dedicates his life to protect the innocent. For now, only a few close friends and associates know that Barry is literally the fastest man alive, but it won't be long before the world learns what Barry Allen has become...The Flash."
