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.
Lalala making a post with a background because I never do that and itโs Billy and Darla so yeah,,, โก๏ธ๐
Making more designs and concepts for the daughters of Atlas,,,,
Still working on these three, but Iโve been busy with work lol. ๐งก๐ค๐ฉต
Hey, look itโs Mary Marvelโผ๏ธโผ๏ธ
I finished this drawing on my phone while I was at work so I didnโt have my normal โKirby dotโ brush that I normally use to fill in their chest emblem. But thatโs okay I drew these dots by hand!!
Yeah originally I was gonna give her a golden chest emblem but then it was just too much yellow in one spot so it didnโt look good,,, Maybe Iโll change Freddyโs color from a silvery blue to yellow just to spice things up, so they donโt all look the same lol.
But yeah I made her outfit white because sometimes itโs red, but Billy is red. It made sense for both of them to be red when they were canonically twins. However, in a lot of stories they arenโt lol.
Anyways enjoy! ~โจโก๏ธ
Bonus: a closeup for people who wanna see those pixels.
Kalypsoโs Powers~ โจ๐
Here is some of my writing for my version of the Daughters of Atlas. Since theyโre from the magic realm I thought I would make their skin colorful, similar to the gods from Disneyโs Hercules.
This is just a little story sample I had in my mind when I was envisioning how I want her powers to work. The way they work in Fury of the Gods is cool and all, but I wanted to add something more fantastical and visually wicked.
And donโt worry guys once the Shazamly comes to Billyโs rescue the curse of madness gets reversed. Just having his family around him to validate that magic is real, and to check in on him is enough to reverse the damage done to his psyche and return his arms/veins to normal.
Although, please do be warned, Kalypsoโs curse is no joke because once the curse has fully corrupted a person, there is no cure to their madness, and their mental state will be permanently altered.

Hii, sorry itโs been a while, I am unfortunately inbetweeen hyperfixations and it suckkkkss lol. I also havenโt been able to get my adderall refilled since December due to a mix of supply shortages and moving to a different state.
Hopefully Iโll be able to continue working on my story and finish it soon? Idk. Currently feel as though I am living in a haze, not really awake, but not dreaming either. Itโs very strange, but I believe itโs because I am almost never without a fixation. Hopefully something will spark my interest soon.
Just posting this here because it was a sketch I was doing to practice adding more 3D forms and thought into my drawings and character designs. So far Iโve been lucky and my brain has been up to the challenge and it hasnโt been too overwhelming.
Ok yeah thatโs not much of an update ๐ but itโs all I have for now lol.
Cheers! ~ ๐ฅ
Note: images on top right are not mine, theyโre face/head-shape breakdowns I found on Pinterest xoxo
My first design for my version of The Wizard! ๏ฟผโก๏ธ๐ฎโจ๐ฟ
I know this oneโs kinda out of the box but I wanted to make him seem kinda in-human and more magical? I guess kinda like help separate him from the humans in the story? Also he has dot eyes when he has his glasses on because drawing the eyes out with everything I have going on near his face was just,,, a lot lol.
Anyways yeah heโs chill but eccentric as fuck lol.
And also a size comparison between The Wizard, Shazam, and Billy just for reference.

NOTE: Hello all! Just wanted to update you with my current writing progress so far. I just finished writing my first chapter of S!CoBL and Iโm posting it here to tumblr!
I donโt currently have a schedule for when Iโm going to release this series, cause this is my first project of this scale so Iโm just kinda writing as I go along. I already have all the major story beats planned out, itโs just a matter of turning plot points into actual writing lol.
But I also just wanted to say that I actually formatted this story in a strange wayโฆ You see my writing sample is written in first person pov however, this story I originally wrote in screenplay format and translated into third person. So hopefully you all will like this style of writing too, as it comes a lot more natural to me than trying to force myself into first person pov writing.
Anyways, enjoy~ โจ

INT. SUPERSTORE - NIGHT (YEARS AGO)
A young Billy, no older than four, walks alongside a shopping cart. His mother, Marilyn, an exasperated woman in her early twenties, fumbles through her purse as her shopping cart comes to a full stop. She glances over at Billy.
"Stay right here, baby. I'll be back in a minute."
Unbeknownst to Billy, Marilyn was a local dealer who was currently low on cash as a young mother. She had reluctantly brought Billy along for a late-night "meetup," uneasy about leaving him home alone at his age.
As Marilyn hurried away, Billy's attention was lured by the laughter of two children engrossed in play with action figures and dolls. Their voices echoed through the aisles.
"Woah! What toy is that?"
"It's Star Commander Ultra! He's the bravest hero in the galaxy.โ
The child's younger sister chimed in, trying to brag about her doll as well, in hopes of getting some attention from Billy and her brother.
"Well, my doll is Princess Butterfly Sparkle Glitter, and she's the bravest and the coolest in all twelve galaxies!โ
"There's only one galaxy, Macy." He said, as his eyebrows dropped. Seemingly familiar with his sister's need to be the center of attention in every situation.
Amidst their banter, they agree to let Billy in on their game as they go back to running around the store shouting and having fun.
Suddenly, a mother's voice pierced through the aisles, in an attempt to round-up her children. She shouted across the aisle that she was done shopping, and they were leaving. The children hastily said goodbye to Billy as they ran off to catch up with their mother.
Now left completely alone, Billy's anxiety surged. He realized he wasn't able to find the shopping cart his mother had told him to wait by.
Roaming a handful of aisles, his confusion and panic grew as he felt every second scrape by.
As Billy hastily rounded a corner, he collided with the legs of a police officer, falling to the ground, stopping his search completely. A tall blonde woman who was looking down at him in surprise.
"Oh, whoopsies! Haha, that's alright bud. You okay?"
Although Billy didn't respond, he read the name that was sewn into her uniform, Lindsay.
Officer Lindsay helped him to his feet. Her concern deepens as she looks around the store, realizing this child is unattended. She takes it upon herself to help Billy find his mother.
As Billy and Officer Lindsay roam the store looking for Marilyn, they eventually find her in a heated discussion with some of the employees at the store. Marilyn's face drops. She is suddenly pale with shock as she realizes her son is being escorted by a police officer.
โโโ
EXT. SUPERSTORE - NIGHT
Marilyn was led away, leaving Officer Lindsay to return to Billy. She knelt down to his level.
"Hey bud, how do you feel about coloring books? If you want we could color together in this book that I brought with me.โ
Billy doesnโt reply. He just stands in silence looking around, seemingly confused about the situation, not sure where his mother is.
โI could really use your help with coloring these tigers, if you wanted to help me out.โ Officer Lindsay continued.
Billy agreed, oblivious to the chaos around him. He followed Officer Lindsay's lead, as she was a calming distraction from the situation.
The last thing Billy remembers is Officer Lindsay taking his hand and leading him away from the arrest of his mother.
โโโ
INT. SOCIAL WORKER'S OFFICE - DAY ( PRESENT DAY )
The sounds of the night slowly start to fade into the background. Blending together until they make a voice. The voice of Mrs.Kelly, Billyโs social worker.
โBillyโฆBillyโ
A now teenage Billy lightly flinches as he snaps back into reality, realizing he is being called.
"Come on in, Let's talk." Mrs.Kelly said as she beckoned him into her office with her hand.
Her office was well-worn, a place Billy had been countless times. The room filled with a light clutter everywhere. Filled to the brim with books,binders and paperwork she was in the middle of sorting through.
Billy enters the room and tosses his backpack onto one of the open seats in her office, and with a few stretches, made himself comfortable. It was clear he was in no rush to sit down.
"Ah, how could I forget, ol' reliable. Billy said as he gestured towards the chairs in front of Mrs.Kelly's desk as he looked over at her with a slight grin. "You know, instead of you guys spending all this time and money trying to put me into a foster home, I could just live here instead."
The air grew charged as they faced each other.
Mrs.Kelly's patience was wearing thin, worn down by Billy's snarky tone.
"Billy, you know we're running out of options here. Iโm really gonna need you to get your act together."
Billy's eyes narrowed, a touch of bitterness seeping into his voice.
"Uh-huh."
"You already know why youโre here," she continued.
"I do."
"And you already know what Iโm gonna say."
"True."
With a casual crossing of his arms, he settled further into his chair, poised to mimic Mrs.Kelly as they spoke in unison.
"That I brought you in here today to tell you that youโve been assigned to a new foster home," they synchronized.
She let out a sigh, clearly accustomed to Billyโs attitude.
"Look, I know it's been a tough year for you. But this time has to be different."
She locked eyes with Billy, her authoritative gaze cutting through his playful exterior.
"This time, you've got to give them a chance."
Billy's gaze hardened, his frustration simmering beneath the surface.
"A chance? How many chances do I have to give? How many 'homes' will I go through before you guys actually start listening to me? I donโt need a fake family to play pretend with. I have a family, I have a mom, theyโre out there, looking for me."
Mrs.Kellyโs expression softened, a mix of empathy and weariness.
"Billy, weโre not going to have this discussion again, weโve been over this. You can do whatever you want when youโre 18, but for now the state is responsible for you. Which means Iโm responsible for you, and I need you to try and play along, just a little longer."
Billy's guard wavered for a moment, temporarily exposing his feelings of rejection and hopelessness that lie beneath his sarcastic tone.
"But Iโm tired of it. I just wanna make my own decisions instead of you guys and your 'agency' shoving fake families and broken homes onto me like Iโm some sort of charity case."
Mrs.Kelly leaned back, letting out a sigh. She knew she was dealing with a determined young man whoโd clearly had a rough start to life.
"Youโre not a charity case, youโre a young man. A young man with a bright future ahead of you, and weโre just trying to do whatโs best for you."
She paused, ensuring she had Billyโs attention despite his sudden drop in bravado.
"Iโm trying to do whatโs best for you."
Billy nodded, a hint of reluctant acknowledgment. Then, with a sharp scoff, he adds,
"Yeah, I've heard that one before too."

LMAO this is all I imagine after reading that comment.
Thinking of a concept,,, you know how sometimes in the Shazam/Captain Marvel stories they refer to the magic that the wizard gives Billy is called โthe power of living lighting?โ
Well I was thinking what if,,, possibly, maybe his โadultโ form was actually composed of living light.
What does that mean? As for combat, I think it would mean that Marvel/Shazam cannot bleed because his body is not made of blood and organs itโs made of magic lightning.
I drew a quick edit of my Shazam drawing to try and explain this lol.
I also think that if Marvel/Shazam were to take too much damage in his superhero form then his body would โpoofโ and force him to transform back into Billy. Who is a mortal and can bleed.
I was gonna give each member of the Shazamly a different color for their lightning emblem on their chest. I think this would indicate the color of the โlightโ that their body is composed of.
Billyโs chest emblem is blue so if you hypothetically chopped off his arm, you would not see blood. You would see blue light. ~โจ
PLEASE let me know what you guys think about this lol this idea has been in my mind for a while now I just didnโt know how to articulate it LOL
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
