Here's What Reverse Flash Almost Looked Like in THE FLASH Concept Art by John Gallagher

The Flash (2014) - Reverse Flash

Check out The Flash concept art by John Gallagher!

After hints and speculation all season about the evil "Reverse Flash" (or "Professor Zoom") and we finally got a good look at him in the episode "Man in the Yellow Suit." "It’s fun when you finally see our team confronting the Reverse Flash and seeing everybody’s reactions, because he is the devil, in a way, to the show," executive producer Andrew Kreisberg told EW. "When you finally see everybody confront him, it's really scary. It’s certainly the scariest thing we’ve done on the show. Our tone note to Tom, Jesse and Grant was to pretend you were in the room with the alien from Alien. You should all be that scared."

He is terrifying. One of the artists that helped bring the terrifying image of Reverse Flash to life is John Gallagher and he shared some promo art recently. Gallagher is a professional concept artist who's worked on Hollywood projects like Mockingbird Lane (2012) and V (2009).

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."

Check out Arrow and The Flash concept art by Andy Poon and John Gallagher!

The Flash is a hit and is the highest rated show of The CW Network so rumors started circulating of the inevitable second season order of the show. CW Tampaclaimed that the show was coming back next season, but they recently added the note: "Editors note: An earlier post incorrectly stated that The Flash and Jane The Virgin had been picked up for season 2, when the ratings and critical acclaim earned both shows full orders for their first season."

Two major villains on both Arrow and The Flashare Ras Al Ghul and Leonard Snart (AKA Captain Cold). Recently concept art for both characters have shown up online by Andy Poon and John Gallagher.

Andy Poon and John Gallagher are professional concept illustrators who've worked on major projects like Mockingbird Lane (2012), V (2009) and Arrow (2013).

Ras Al Ghul concept art by Andy Poon

"So here is my concept illustrations of the 'Demon' himself once again working with the fantastic costume designer Maya Mani and her costume department. I did this illustration before they cast the actor Matt Nable. There were rumors that 'The Mummy returns" actor Oded Fehr was on the list and Niam Neeson from the Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight triology is interested, so I tried to gave my Ra's a hybrid of both actors' qualities." - Andy Poon

Here's what Ras Al Ghul looks like in the comics

Captain Cold concept art by John Gallagher

"Concept piece for Captain Cold with New 52 look for The Flash. We went in a different direction but d*** Wentworth looks bad**s holding the cold gun I had the pleasure of designing. Stay tuned for plenty more Rogues villainy!"- John Gallagher

Official Arrow Synopsis
"After a violent shipwreck, billionaire playboy Oliver Queen was missing and presumed dead for five years before being discovered alive on a remote island in the Pacific. When he returns home to Starling City, his devoted mother Moira, much-beloved sister Thea, and best friend Tommy welcome him home, but they sense Oliver has been changed by his ordeal on the island. While Oliver hides the truth about the man he's become, he desperately wants to make amends for the actions he took as the boy he was. Most particularly, he seeks reconciliation with his former girlfriend, Laurel Lance. As Oliver reconnects with those closest to him, he secretly creates the persona of Arrow – a vigilante – to right the wrongs of his family, fight the ills of society, and restore Starling City to its former glory. By day, Oliver plays the role of a wealthy, carefree and careless philanderer he used to be – flanked by his devoted chauffeur/bodyguard, John Diggle – while carefully concealing the secret identity he turns to under cover of darkness. However, Laurel's father, Detective Quentin Lance, is determined to arrest the vigilante operating in his city. Meanwhile, Oliver's own mother, Moira, knows much more about the deadly shipwreck than she has let on – and is more ruthless than he could ever imagine. The series stars Stephen Amell as Oliver Queen, Colin Donnell as Tommy, Katie Cassidy as Laurel Lance, David Ramsey as John Diggle, Willa Holland as Thea Queen, with Susanna Thompson as Moira Queen and Paul Blackthorne as Detective Quentin Lance."

Here's What Girder and Multiplex Almost Looked Like in THE FLASH Concept Art by John Gallagher and Andy Poon

The Flash (2014) concept art by John Gallagher

Check out The Flash concept art by John Gallagher and Andy Poon!

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:

Now, here's the concept art

"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
