Since Ink demanded that I post more I decided to go with this piece since I'm sure no one is interested in my sketchbook doodlings that look like a 5 yr old drew them.
I do one of these every 2 years or so and never finish them. It's what I lovingly refer to as my Ultimate Justice League Unlimited. I go through and pick all the characters that I want in the JLA and redesign them. This one consists of analogues for the Ultimates and New Avengers (If you look closely you'll notice the unintelligable scribblings of a Batwoman character in the upper left corner that resembles SpiderWoman). There were 28 characters in all and the peice measured 9x23.
Eventually, as with every time I try to tackle one of these, I get frustrated by the amount of mistakes on the peice and end up hating the designs as I inevitably come up with much better ones once I've laid down the ink. I usually have a lot of fun prior to that though as I think up concepts on how to make everything work and scribble down copius notes on how I'd make the universe gel. Came up with quite a bit of fun concepts as I was working on this that I'd one day like to throw into an Elseworlds story If I ever get the chance. It would be an epic Ultimate JLU Crisis type thing and would have to be huge. I even came up with some JSA, Titans, and Challengers of the Unknown concepts while doing it. The JSA would fall more in line with "The Liberty Files" and COTU would take some cues from the FF.
And yes, that's how I work...I know, I know, I should finish the pencils before moving on to inks. I just get so bored so quickly...
I'll be moving this to scraps soon.
***Edit***
Sorry, I'm computer illiterate and can't seem to figure out how to get a larger version uploaded without it resizing to something tiny.
Please finish so I can use this as a desktop. My only small criticism: I hate it when the Superman logo is used on the belt buckle. But that's a small price to pay for the rest of the awesomeness that is this picture.
Now that is what I call redesigning with style...!
I really think DC should do an Ultimate line of some sort... Even if they get accused of copying, I'd still be willing to buy the stuff. Honestly, I can't wait for someone to get rid of Superman's briefs-over-pants look. And WW's panties. She's a warrior princess not a hooker.
i really love this!!! i wish that this was finished as i can only imagine how awesome it would look!! LOVE the martian manhunter redesign, and the green lantern design is hella cool too!! hey, maybe it has been finished in the mean time, who knows!!!

For want of a nail the shoe was lost, for want of a shoe the horse was lost, for want of a horse the knight was lost, for want of a knight the battle was lost. So it was a kingdom was lost - all for want of a nail.
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.

For want of a nail the shoe was lost,
for want of a shoe the horse was lost,
for want of a horse the knight was lost,
for want of a knight the battle was lost.
So it was a kingdom was lost - all for want of a nail.
