Hello to the uninitiated, my name is Grimm and I'm currently working on a couple new projects right now, so here is my FAQ!
What project are you working on now?
Currently I'm working on writing my own version of Shazam to post here to tumblr.
The current title is Shazam: City of Brotherly Love or as I like to tag it Shazam:CoBL.
What's your version of the story gonna be about?
I have plans to outline Billy Baton's origin story and his new life at the Vasquez house. If you enjoy the new52 version of Shazam, or the 2019 movie you will see similar themes and character progressions.
You can read my sample here.
Will you be making your version of the story into a comic?
Right now I currently don't have plans to make the entire story into a comic. However, I do plan on translating a handful of my personal favorite moments into small mini-comics. :)
Do you have a master list?
Yesss. Here you go. [ Master List ]
Do you post any other art?
Yea, if you wanna see my non-shazam related stuff I have an art account on Instagram username is @/grimmbitty.
Okay, I know I was gone for a little bit, sorry about that lol. I was out of state for the holidays and I have a hard time writing/drawing when Iโm not in my comfort areas haha >_<.
But I wanted to share this. These are my little โscene cardsโ I guess you could call them. They just give you guys a little bit of insight to the anatomy of my Shazam story that Iโm outlining right now!
[ READ MORE BELOW โฌ๏ธ โ๏ธ๐]
I have these scenes in a lot more detail but I canโt show it to you guys because it looks like this lol.
But Iโm posting this now because Iโm just opening the floor to comments, suggestions, or questions for this story so far. :^)
I think some things that might be confusing is that I did technically write in a redemption arc for Black Adam. Which I know might be controversial for some, but his main โbeefโ with Billy is that heโs offended that The Wizard chose a new champion after he got banished to the furthest star in the galaxy.
But then once heโs defeated itโs revealed that The Wizard was actually kinda conflicted about having to banish him and Billy wasnโt meant to replace him. Billyโs much happier with his foster family on earth than being like The Wizards adopted son lol.
I still want him to be โpunishedโ at the end for trapping The Wizard and Tawny to try and take over The Rock of Eternity. So my solution for that would be to give him a โCrown of Thornsโ that nerf his powers a lot, but still keep him in his โmagic formโ. Since you know,,, if he were to say โShazamโ and revert to his mortal form he would die of old age almost immediately,,,,
But yeahh idk, let me know what you guys think. Right now Iโm working on writing scene 3. If any of you guys want to read scene 1 & 2 I have them completed, theyโre just in screenplay/script format lol.
Maybe Iโll convert them soon. Who knows?
Anyways k thx byeeee~โจ

A quick little Samara doodle ^_^
Hopefully will be drawing my version of the Shazam characters more since I have all their designs down to a place I like atm.
Extra doodles below โฌ๏ธ
๐คโก๏ธ My Black Adam Design โก๏ธ๐ค
Lol I ended up tracing over my original Shazam design because I was mostly working on this drawing while I was at work, on my phone.
I had it a lot more purple at first but then changed it over to be more of a worn bronze color.
Enjoy~โจ
Neurodiversity strikes again with my Shazam! Hyper-fixation,,,,
Hereโs my take on the character of Billy Batson. Itโs kinda mostly based off of the 2019 film but also a little bit on the new52 comics soo yeah >_> โก๏ธ
Lol this is actually my first time drawing a superhero so itโs kinda outside of my normal comfort zone
Finished! โ
Also I recently decided that I actually want to make a trilogy of stories for my Shazam story. I want to make it kinda like a coming of age trilogy-story type deal. You know like,,,
Story 1: Is like all good origin stories. It starts with the main character getting their powers and in this case laying the ground work for his foster family. We do the basic but lovely plot of him learning to let go of his birth parents in favor of his foster family etc. etc.
Story 2: Picks up maybe a year or so later and deals with the foster siblings all getting a little older and expanding their personal lives. The story also deals with how Billy feels a little abandoned at first, but then eventually learning that change is a part of life, and his family will still be there for him even if theyโre lives are getting more complicated/busy.
Story 3: This story would pick up again about a year or so after the last story. And it would deal with Billyโs work life balance between his family life, his personal life, and his superhero life. Kinda dealing with themes of overwhelm and burnout. Something that really captures the vibes of growing up.
Anyways those are just my little ideas or whatevaaa, let me know if you guys would be interested in me putting out the whole โcoming of age trilogyโ perhaps
Okkayyy byeee~ โจ

[ Master List | Darlaโs Index ]
CHARACTER SHEET
โโโโโโโโ โขโงโข โโโโโโโ
NAME: Darla Dudley
AGE: 13 years old
BIRTHDAY: March 5th 1994
HEIGHT: 5โ1 /157 cm
STATUS: Alive
OCCUPATION: Student at Fawcett High
SPECIES: Human
HAIR COLOR: Black
EYE COLOR: Dark Brown
OTHER INFO: None
PERSONALITY/NARRATIVE ROLE
โโโโโโโโ โขโงโข โโโโโโโ
Darla is the heart of her household. Sheโs a kind and loving girl whoโs still filled with childlike wonder. She is the character who is always lookout for the silver lining in every situation.
Darlaโs role in the story is to be the empathetic peacekeeper of the group. She is the sibling that hates conflict and tries to see all aspects of a situation to help find solutions to problems.
She is there to remedy situations and get everyone on the same page whenever her siblings start to argue.
She is the sibling that opens her heart to Billy first despite his cold personality, and welcomes him with open arms.
LESSON OVERVIEW
โโโโโโโโ โขโงโข โโโโโโโ
Darlaโs lesson throughout the story is showing Billy the importance of giving people second chances and understanding people before you place judgement on them.
Helping him understand that in order to be a good hero and a good brother he has to open up and let others in. Over the story Billy has moments where he tries to fly solo, but Darla is always the first one to welcome him back despite his mistakes.
Darlaโs loving and sweet personality gives Billy insight into how itโs important to give people second chances and intervene when others are in trouble. Billy has done noble things in the past however, Darla is a living reminder of why these values matter.
End.

Just read the new Shazam comic and thinking about re-designing my outfit for Freddy. I thought the blue scarf was a serve, but I think I only really liked it in Dan Moraโs art style lol.
Anyways, as I was reading I was thinking about how Iโm kinda not a fan of when writers kinda write Shazam & Billy as two different people? Iโve seen a few iterations of the comics do this but Iโm never sure why? It just kinda seems like more work imo to write them as separate characters???
Maybe there is some appeal in like the magical โother-selfโ or โidealized-selfโ areas of fantasy, but I feel like the Shazam mythos covers that either way? Anyways thatโs my hot take lmk which you prefer and drop a comment if you wanna let me know your reasoning~ โจ
Bonus: please enjoy these random sketches xoxo
My Darla redesign, and also my work in progress for her superhero form!! ๐โจ๐ฎโก๏ธ
I know I wonโt get a chance to finish this tonight because normally going from the building/sketching stage to line art is at least an hour or two, not to mention coloring and shading LOL.
Iโm still not exactly satisfied with the current proportions/pose, but itโs bedtime for me rn,,, Iโm very sleepy haha.
But, I also redesigned Darla to give her a fuzzy oversized sweater and some stripped leggings! I also gave her some necklaces and soft winter boots! :D
Enjoy~ โจ
