Hereโs Freddyโs design for both his regular form and his superpower form! โก๏ธ๐ฉต
I was hoping to actually pick a different color for Freddyโs chest emblem however, I wanted to save a golden/yellow color for Maryโs design instead. But thatโs okay I think he still works with a monochromatic and blue kinda vibe sooo yeah :)
Lmao Iโm watching the Connoreatspants Fortnite Friday stream featuring Zachary Levi and bro is getting absolutely grilled about his opinions on โwokeโ inclusion in modern media.

My Rock of Eternity work in progress! ๐ชจโก๏ธ๐ ๐ดโจ
When I post the final for this Iโll probably write a little blurb of text that explains some stuff about The Rock of Eternity, and how itโs kinda a physical manifestation of The Wizardโs heart.

Handmade DC intro title card for a Shazam film that I made up!!โก๏ธ
This post is kinda interesting because I have not tried my hand at video editing in a while. Iโm hoping to get one of my friends to help me install photoshop on my computer so I can remake this sequence with actual 3D assets. But for now? Theyโre hand drawn in procreate.
I thought I would share some behind the scenes of how I made this for anyone who might be interested in doing something similar! :D
[ Behind the Scenes Info Below โฌ๏ธ ]
Okay so I decided to make this intro as kinda like a โooh what if I made my own Shazam film? How would I do the opening DC title? I would want it to be like a dark and spooky night, then have the camera be panning down through the clouds. Then I could easily transition into the opening scene because that takes place during a dark and stormy night. OOoOoO.โ
But first, in order to do that I had to make modifications to the DC logo. I didnโt want to use any premade 3D assets they had; I wanted to make my own. However, I donโt currently have photoshop, so I had to improvise and make a 2D logo kinda look 3D with some extra layers and shading tricks. I did this in procreate, but any art app will do really. Just keep your preferred perspective in mind.
Then after I was done with making sure my perspective was all good and in check I then proceeded to decorate the hell out of the logo with a bunch of clipping masks lol. I just slapped a bunch of different things on there. Some lense flares, some random brushes, some multiply layers, whatever. I didnโt really have a plan in mind when I did this I just kinda went with the vibes.
Then after that I made another file where I just worked on the little sparkle effect that I added in. For the sparkle effect I just picked like a default brush in procreate that looked pretty and then animated it to do a little slide across the letter โDโ.
Next, I did some work on the backgrounds. I made sure to have really โtallโ files so that way I could make them slide down in my video editor. This kinda gives that vibe that we are descending through the clouds, hopefully towards an establishing shot, for our opening scene, for our fake movie.
I made two parts for this. One animated background where I changed to opacity of the backlight for each frame to kinda give the illusion that lightning was peaking through the clouds. The second was just some clouds that I was gonna overlay on top of the DC logo, so it just felt more like everything was in the scene together.
I would provide video examples of this, but tumblr only allows me to upload one video per post. And if youโre wondering what brushes I used to this? I just googled โProcreate free cloud brushesโ and downloaded the top result.
The ones Iโm using are made by an artist named DI, and I got them off of gumroad. Info for their socials provided in the third image below.
And then once I had all of those assets together I just edited them all together in a program called HitFilm Express. I used to like it a lot since itโs free, and I used to use it to edit YouTube videos. That was back when I used to upload my Minecraft videos with my friends online lol. However, recently HitFilm has put a lot of features I used to use behind a paywall so :/. Iโm probably going to look for alternatives sometime soon.
Normally I donโt mind being restricted in some sense for a free program, but they disabled the ability to fade clips in and out, and I think thatโs a vital tool. Itโs a shame to see it locked behind a paywall because I used it in pretty much all my projects.
And lastly the audio! I just found free to use clips of rain sounds, thunder claps, and then some ambient music. The track you can hear in this short clip is the intro to the song Redeye - Green House (1994). The artist is also known as Tobias Beldermann if any of you guys were curious where I got that from.
Buttttt yeah! Thatโs about all I have for showing you guys how I made my little 5 second clip. Iโm not really one whoโs qualified to make โtutorialsโ in any sense, because most of what I post online is just me dicking around and having fun, so I donโt want to be super serious. But, I also like showing my process just so if anyone out there is maybe interested in doing something similar, well then they have some ideas for where to start.
Anyways, if you guys want to read my first couple scenes for my Shazam story Shazam:City of Brotherly Love Iโm going to link it here.
Itโs still a work in progress, and if I end up doing any edits Iโm just going to make them to the the post itself. Just because itโs not really worth it to me, posting almost identical chapters/scenes over, and over again lol.
Okiii byyeee!! I hope you enjoyed!! ~โจ

Work in progress for my Shazam story. โก๏ธ
This is a scene towards the start of the story, right after the prologue actually. Itโs the scene where Billyโs social worker is trying to explain to him that sheโs running out of foster homes for him to go to and is trying to get him to behave.
These are very quick sketches however, I think itโs probably for the best because one of the hardest things for me to learn is how to incorporate storytelling into my art lol. Which is funny because I enjoy both writing and drawing. So yeah,,,,
But anyways,, again not really sure how I want to tell this story? Like at first I was set on a screenplay for sure, but then I was like,,, maybe I should just write it as a fanfic? Because Iโve had nights where Iโve written 8,000 words in one night,,,, but those are rare. But ALSO also I really do enjoy the visual aspects of a comic,,,, but a comic would for sure take me the longest and require the most focus,,,,
Iโm still not sure at this point, but I guess Iโll have to decide soon if I want people to eventually be able to enjoy my take on Billy Batsonโs origin story,,,,,
Also please excuse any typos it is 1AM for me while Iโm working on this LOL
Anyways thank you byeeee~ โจ
Another sketch for tonight! โค๏ธโก๏ธ๐ช
It feels like Iโve been only finishing sketches lately,,, but Iโve been kinda busy so whoopsies. Maybe when I color this one I can also include my whole โliving lightingโ concept thingy I made up a while ago on an old post with some blueish glow-y type battle marks idk. ~โจ
Felt like drawing some expressions/ light angst kinda art so ye. Maybe if I get around to it I can do expression sheets next since Iโve never really done those before.
Anyways thanks 4 reading okay byeeee! ~ โจโจโจ
Work in progress for tonight!! Trying to draw more character interactions so I thought Iโd start with my version of Billy and Freddy!
(Note: not intended to be freebat art. No hate to anyone who ships it, but I see them as brothers even if theyโre both adopted :P )
But yeah! Also a refresher for any new people who might see this post: Iโm working on writing my own version of the Shazam story. In my version I only have 4 siblings in the Vasquez house from oldest to youngest the order goes Freddy, Mary, Billy, Darla. ๐๐โค๏ธ๐
I wanted to finish this sketch tonight but itโs about 1AM rn and I have work tomorrow, so unfortunately I have to wait.
Okay thanks byeeee~โจ
