Interesting suggestions!
As for those images – they ended up in the LD Sketchbook

@cap, I’d like to throw this idea into the creative hopper, and y’all can do with it what you will:
Either this is the Real Cap’n Scrap who has no crew or organization, and that dude with all the Cap’n Hook regalia is like Jodo Kast to his Boba Fett, or we have a legitimate Dread Pirate Roberts situation here, and this is a retired former Scrap.

For context, here are the times I’ve noodled around on Scrap:
and this one from before that, that it now occurs to me may not have ever been shown outside of the group:

Ha! Yeah, we’re not nearly clever enough to have done that eyepatch deal. There’s just no locked design yet. I love Max’s design from Inktober. I think they’re gonna evolve into a separate character.
Max replied to the topic LIGHTNING DOGS! in the forum Lightning Dogs 5 years, 2 months ago
I’ve never drawn Scrap with an eyepatch, though once in Inktober he had some reading glasses on. I think the short answer is that there is no offical design for Scrap yet because he isn’t on the critical path to the story bible. #StayOnTarget
Actually, my version of Scrap is a totally different dude than the Pirate-y ones you seem to be…[Read more]

@Max and @Cap nice I also wanted to ask you and Tony in early sketches have Scrap with an eyepatch but on different eyes is that something that just not flushed out yet or are you guys doing the whole “pirate night vision” myth were they wore eyepatches to have one eye adjusted to above-deck daylight and the other adjusted to below-deck dim light,…[Read more]

No official design yet. But I think he’s too serious business for a fancy hat. A simple, practical tricorner – if anything. Now… that cousin of his that impersonates him… he’s the kinda asshole who would wear a fancy hat.
Max replied to the topic LIGHTNING DOGS! in the forum Lightning Dogs 5 years, 2 months ago
He has a bandanna when I draw him, but I don’t know that there is an official design yet.

Question time
here is a simple one, Since Captain Scrap is a Captain, does he have a fancy hat

Magneto and Emma Frost seem notable.

Weisman might be king of this in American cartoons. Xanatos/ Fox and the whole Young Justice season 2 switcheroos were amazing.
It seems silly buttering him up all the time, but the dude is a legend for a reason.
In the grander scheme of media… there’s so many in comics… too many perhaps, but if I think of one that I really feel should be…[Read more]

It’s interesting as a question; Usually face-turn bad guys are somehow diminished by it, and heel-turn good guys tend to be god-mode. I think the one time it didn’t damage the face-turn villain I can think of is Myria Sterling on Robotech. She is the best Zentraedi fighter pilot until she meets Max Sterling, the best Micronian pilot, and once they…[Read more]

Question time
In a lot of media you see a lot of Good Guys becoming Bad and a lot of Bad guys becoming good so what is your guys favorite Face and/or Heel turns?

The IDW designs for the Visionaries seem pretty cool:

Ohhhhhh. Man, I didn’t remember them looking so cool.
Max replied to the topic LIGHTNING DOGS! in the forum Lightning Dogs 5 years, 2 months ago
@Cap that’s a Cobra B.A.T., though the drawing isn’t especially on-model.
I’m glad somebody is doing something with Visionaires, that is a slept-on IP
Cat replied to the topic LIGHTNING DOGS! in the forum Lightning Dogs 5 years, 2 months ago
Max, what the heck is that? Visionaries? (Trying to figure out the chest plate). Btw – a Visionaries/ Transformers comic comes out tomorrow so they’re on my mind.
That is a *really* tough question, big bad. Honestly I think the OT era Stormtroopers are the best design probably, but I’d love to offer up something more eclectic and interesting.…[Read more]

Hey folks – apologies for the delayed response. The year-end was crazy and we tried to fix things in it but ended up taking too much time. We’ll update asap.
Max replied to the topic LIGHTNING DOGS! in the forum Lightning Dogs 5 years, 2 months ago
Maybe this one?
