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).

Arrow (2014) concept art by Andy Poon

Check out Arrow concept art by Andy Poon!

The Green Arrow costume has been pretty much the same since the show started except for an updated mask last season. But, during a Q&A, actor Stephen Amell said, "Suit upgrade is coming. There is going to be new stuff added to the suit at some point this season." That happened in the season 3 Arrow\The Flash crossover episode "The Brave and the Bold" when his suit gets improvements. Concept artist Andy Poon just updated his site with concept art of the new costume and it's awesome.

Poon is a professional concept artist who's worked on network television shows like Smallville, and Slugterra.

"The strap for the quiver is more like a bandolier now that holds special trick arrow tips. There are flechette holders added to his left arm, lower back and his thighs. Two seams were added at the lower front of jacket which makes it feel abit more like the lines of the abs which we all know Oliver Queen has, but also for the new jacket belt to loop through that holds two side pouches." - Andy Poon

"Now here is the fun one, below is a 'blooper version' which I added a green boxing glove on the bandolier with the other trick arrow tips as a homage to the classic boxing glove arrow. The awesome thing is that they actually figured a really smart way to create the classic boxing glove arrow in one of the episodes in season 3! I wonder if they saw the blooper illustration and got some ideas." - Andy Poon

Here's what the costume has looked like over the seasons

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.

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

MAN-THING Was Almost Terrifying in Unused Concept Art by Peter Pound

Man-Thing (2005) concept art by Peter Pound

Check out Man-Thing concept art by Peter Pound!

Back in 2004, a movie based on the Marvel comic book character Man-Thing was intended as a direct-to-video release, but ended up getting released in movie theaters as a horror film internationally. In the US, it was released as a Sci-Fi channel movie by Marvel and later on home video.

The character of the "Man-Thing" was created by Stan Lee and writer Roy Thomas and first appeared in Savage Tales#1 (1971) it told the story of scientist Dr. Theodore "Ted" Sallis that gets transformed into a shambling muck monster that can sense emotions.

The film got mixed reviews, but the original design was created by production designer Peter Pound and look pretty amazing.

Peter Pound is a professional production designer, storyboard and concept artist who's worked on Hollywood projects like Dark City (1998), The Crow (1994) and the upcoming Mad Max: Fury Road (2015).

Click on the images to enlarge.

Here's what Man-Thing looked like in the comics:

Here's what the Man-Thing creature looked like in the film:

Here's Pound's concept art.

Nick Nicolaou, co-creator of Make-Up Effects Group which handled the creature design, told Monster Legacy  that Pound's designs were never fully utilized due to budget constraints.

"Production Designer Peter Pound did all the initial concepts of the Man-Thing," Nicolaou said, "I visited his home before pre-production kicked off and we discussed some of the ideas he had been playing with. I gave a lot of input regarding the technical aspects of what we could achieve with the suit and how we could extend parts of the suit, while still having a performer inside. It was a creature suit… plain and simple… we had to work within these parameters. By the time pre-production had come around, Peter had an extensive set of drawings for us to work off.

"There is a lot of history behind the original design and I am a huge fan of the comic and the creature." he added, "However, practical suit considerations have to be taken into account when translating any design, especially from a comic book drawing.

"The Director & Production Designer wanted to 'tweak' the design a little and Marvel were supportive of the changes (I have a FAX from Marvel saying the suit looked amazing). The main difference in the design is the 3 huge tendrils/tentacles that were central to the face of the Man-Thing comic design. With VFX and Practical MUFX budget constraints – we did not want to have these 3 huge tendrils in the center of the face and be static – so we just went with hundreds of smaller tendrils that were not as “in your face”.

"In the story the swampland is a sacred Indian burial site. The branches on the back of the Man-Thing’s head were designed to replicate an American Indian feathered headdress, to link this theme and to physically add more height to the creature suit. The creature had to look huge and we were physically fighting the logistics of doing this, making sure the actor could perform inside the suit and keeping it safe for him to move around in.

"The added height of the skull (sitting on top of actor’s head), raised shoulders and branch extensions, helped us keep a nice balance in the design of the suit. It helped stretch out the overall bulk and added a natural dynamic symmetry.

"We added a lot of vine and branch style sculptural detail to the body form, so it felt like the Man-Thing creature was made from the environment surrounding him."

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

Exclusive: Phillip Boutte Jr. Talks AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. Mockingbird and Agent May Concept Designs

Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D (2014) concept art by Phillip Boutte Jr.

Check out my exclusive interview with Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D concept artist Phillip Boutte Jr.!

A few weeks back we got to see several new designs for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.of Bobbi Morse (Adrianne Palicki) and actor Ming-Na Wen tweeted concept art of her lovely cocktail dress. I reached out to Phillip Boutte Jr., who is one of the costume concept artists on the show, and he kindly gave me another exclusive interview about working on these two designs.

Click on the images to enlarge.


Costume Designer Ann Foley told Marvel"I looked at all of her comic appearances and really wanted to try to bring elements of the look from the comics into the costume that we're doing now for the show because I know it's important to the fans. It's important to me to keep certain elements, but we had to change it, obviously, for practicality, because it had to fit into our world. It had to have a kind of tactical feeling to it too so that it made sense in our universe."

 

Maurice Mitchell: Was it hard to balance the look between the comic and the show? How many designs did it take? What was the most fun part of it?
Phillip Boutte Jr.: It is always a challenge bringing a character from the comic page to the screen because there are so many factors to consider. With Mockingbird, you want to pull from her original source material while at the same time making sure she fits into the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. world that has already been created - it’s definitely a balance! That was Costume Designer Ann Foley’s goal from the very beginning. She wanted to give fans something to be excited about but also make sure that Mockingbird fit in seamlessly with the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. brand.

Fans will be pleased to know that we tried several different versions of her having the central panel in white, but ultimately decided on the grey. The thought being that not only would the white feel less tactical but it would have made her look like a target, and at this stage in the season the team is keeping a lower profile! I think the grey is a nice compromise because she looks tactical and stealth and still has the feeling of who she is in the comics.

The most fun part of it for me is getting to work with Costume Designer Ann Foley and the rest of the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. family. It's exciting to go to work and be challenged to help bring characters to life on screen.

MM: What was it like designing the cocktail dress for Agent May?
PB: Illustrating Ming is always a pleasure. She is the nicest person and she has a great laugh, which I'm very happy everyone finally got to hear in episode #204 (Face My Enemy). She laughs often in real life but as Melinda May, she is all business!

Yowza! RT@Marvel: Peek BTS of #AgentsofSHIELD w/ @afoley24  concept art 4 @MingNa's stunning dress from last Tues ep! http://t.co/n2YqmUGmWe
— Ming-Na Wen (@MingNa) October 17, 2014

Ann's dress design for that episode is stunning so it was not really hard to translate it into a piece of art. The shimmering sequins are in stark contrast to what we are used to seeing Melinda in and it photographed nicely. Especially during those fight scenes!

MM: I know that you actually started out as an actor before transitioning to concept illustration. So, would you ever do a guest spot on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.?
PB: Of course I would! My top cameo preferences would be:

1. Being a Hydra henchman and getting kicked right in the face by Ming Na.
2. Being a lab technician working on random gadgets in the background.
3. Deathlok Jr.?
4. Playing a random agent that literally dies right after being introduced to the team. Like, I don't even want to say anything. There is just me and 2 other agents and as soon as they say welcome to the team, EXPLOSION! LOL

See Arsenal and Ravanger's New Costume in ARROW Concept Art by Andy Poon

Check out Arrow concept art by Andy Poon!

The new season of Arrow started last week and with it will come a whole new batch of superhero costumes. Concept artist Andy Poon has shown some of his amazing work for Arrow in the past, but there's one costume we won't see for a while: The Atom. In the comics, Atom is a superhero who has the ability to shrink to incredibly small sizes and grow normal again. This season former Superman Returns actor Brandon Routh will be playing Ray Palmer in season 3 of Arrow. In an interview with  The DJ Tanner Show he said he's seen concept art of his superhero costume. Routh said, "It's a totally different suit and I haven't been in it yet, I've only seen drawings. It's a very different character and I really can't say too much about what the suit's going to look like - just that it's very different and I don't believe it has a cape, which doesn't really surprise anybody if you've seen The Atom in the comics." Poon confirmed it on his blog saying, "I can at least now say that yes I worked on it. He said it! The Atom!" When will we see the incredibly shrinking Routh? It's hard to say. When asked if Ray Palmer was going to shrink on Arrow producer Marc Guggenheim told GreenArowTV, "I think anything is possible. My instinct is that if Ray Palmer’s going to shrink, he’ll probably shrink on another show. With The Flash in existence, there’s no real compelling reason for us to do super powers on Arrow. We can bring characters to Flash to have super powers. We have plans for Ray that don’t involve shrinking, but our plans for Ray are actually really cool." So maybe it'll end up being on the Arrow spin-off The Flash.

Till then, let's look at concept art for two characters from Arrow: Arsenal, played by Colton Haynes, and Ravager, played by Summer Glau.

Andy Poon is a professional concept artist who's worked on big budget projects like Smallville.

Arsenal
"So the long way was over, here is the concept for Arsenal. Season 3 of Arrow premiered on Wednesday this week and it was full of awesomeness and surprises. Roy finally made his debut as Arsenal in his full fancy outfit. When I say fancy, I mean fancy even Stephen Amell (Arrow) himself has joked about now he has the second coolest in one of his comic con appearances. I'm super happy how this one turns out in person and on screen, costume designer Maya Mani and her team did such an amazing job on it and definitely set a new high bar for the show. Go team Arrow!" - Andy Poon

Ravager
"This design was really fun to do as usual. I had to again do some further research on who she is, what she is like, how she looks to get a better core idea of what elements I must have in order for her to still read as Ravager in the Arrow-verse. The easy part was that Deathstroke has already been established, so she is essentially an extension of him but sleeker and sexier. We decided to have her abit more stealth and subtle than Deathstroke so shes only in black and abit or orange and without the blue. The make is the trickiest part for this character because they actually want to show part of her face unlike Deathstroke, so it naturally goes into a more superhero realm than the realistic side. Summer Glau's face also has a really strong structure, therefore framing her face without making her look too masculine was [a bit] challenging." - Andy Poon


Arrow airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on The CW.
