Kalypso’s Powers~ ✨🌀

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 I’m not in my comfort areas haha >_<.

But I wanted to share this. These are my little “scene cards” I guess you could call them. They just give you guys a little bit of insight to the anatomy of my Shazam story that I’m outlining right now!

[ READ MORE BELOW ⬇️ ✍️📝]

I have these scenes in a lot more detail but I can’t show it to you guys because it looks like this lol.

But I’m posting this now because I’m 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 “beef” with Billy is that he’s offended that The Wizard chose a new champion after he got banished to the furthest star in the galaxy.

But then once he’s defeated it’s revealed that The Wizard was actually kinda conflicted about having to banish him and Billy wasn’t meant to replace him. Billy’s much happier with his foster family on earth than being like The Wizards adopted son lol.

I still want him to be “punished” 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 “Crown of Thorns” that nerf his powers a lot, but still keep him in his “magic form”. Since you know,,, if he were to say “Shazam” 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 I’m working on writing scene 3. If any of you guys want to read scene 1 & 2 I have them completed, they’re just in screenplay/script format lol.

Maybe I’ll convert them soon. Who knows?

Anyways k thx byeeee~✨

This is my version of Mary Bromfield. ^_^

Right now I’ve just been experimenting with how I would write my own version of the Shazam origin stories and what modifications I could make to the character dynamics to make it my own. As of right now I deciding to change the sibling lineup a little bit to make Mary and Billy closer in age. I think that this would really emphasize both of their personalities, him being a bold, humorous trouble maker. And then her being a shy, wallflower kinda girl who tries to keep herself out of trouble.

This puts Freddy as the oldest sibling, which I’m not really sure how much I like that idea so far. Maybe he could kinda use his goofy nature to have a good older brother dynamic with the other kids. Idk I’m still working on it.

If you have any ideas or suggestions for this storyline please comment below!! ^_^ ⚡️💗

Tawny:

Rough sketch ideas for my version of the rock of eternity. ⚡️🐅🌴

I like to think of it as a floating island covered in old stone ruins and jungle foliage.

The thrones for the champions are near the center of the island. I still need to figure out where I would put the room of infinite doors? Maybe there is a secret entrance that you can open and travel down that is underground in the core of the island.

My plan is to kinda update the rock of eternity to have more to it than just being a cave. Like adding stone ruins and plant life all around gives it an ancient but magical vibe. ~✨

I think adding a jungle kinda rainforest vibe to the island is also good for adding Tawny into the story. Giving them a natural habitat to run around while they assist the wizard.

Also I think in my version of the story Tawny is kinda like the wizards right-hand pet.

They have a magical gemstone in their forehead that gives them them telepathy, so that they can talk to people.

They’re very educated in magic, and they have been assisting the wizard with magical deeds for hundreds of years.

Trying to re-work my Shazam character designs. Obi first up is Billy.

I didn’t want to modify them too much because I like what I’ve done so far. However, I really wanna try and them them all model sheets, so that requires a lot more focus and intention with my lineart than I’m used to lol,,,

I was also inspired to work on this today specifically because I read the new chapter. At first I thought it was gonna be the same, “Billy’s long-lost parent ruins Vasquez family adoption” plot line that the new52 had, but I was pleasantly surprised. I can’t tell which run I like better so far because like,,, I’m really confused on why Billy & the Captain are 2 different people??? I have a hard time following that part. But, I enjoy the characterization a LOT more in this one. In the new 52 Billy is a little too much of an asshole imo. 💀

Like, I think in this new Dawn of DC version of Billy would have never yelled at Darla, and wouldn’t have picked random fights with Mary. Unlike his 2013-2019 counterpart lol. I really DO like characters who are a bit jaded & a little snarky though. I guess it’s a fine line that writers have to try and not cross.

Anyways that was my little ramble. If you would like to discuss the new run with me, or maybe let me know which version of Billy you prefer both my DMs & comments are open, as always. :)

Enjoy! ~ ⚡️❤️

CHARACTER SHEET

─────── •✧• ──────

NAME: Freddy Freeman

AGE: 17 years old

BIRTHDAY: May 21st 1990

HEIGHT: 6’1 /186 cm

STATUS: Alive

OCCUPATION: Student at Fawcett High

SPECIES: Human

HAIR COLOR: Light Brown

EYE COLOR: Blue

OTHER INFO: Paralyzed left leg (Uses walking aides)

PERSONALITY/NARRATIVE ROLE

─────── •✧• ──────

Freddy is a free-spirited and fun loving character. He approaches every aspect of his life with a sly humor despite his troubled upbringing and unfortunate life circumstances.

Freddy’s role in the story is to be a friendly opposer to Billy, Countering his more cynical/jaded view on the world with levity.

Freddy is the first sibling to form a meaningful connection with Billy, which allows him to express his struggles/worries openly.

Freddy understands Billy’s struggles and meets him where he’s at emotionally, instead of trying to force a fake persona of happiness onto him like many have before.

LESSON OVERVIEW

─────── •✧• ──────

Freddy’s lesson throughout the story is helping Billy lighten up a little bit so he can form better connections with others.

Helping him understand that even though they’ve both been hurt a lot in the past, he shouldn’t emotionally “shut down” and let those experiences negatively impact how he interacts with the world.

Freddy’s light-hearted and silly personality doesn't come from a place of naivete, but it’s an active choice. A choice that Freddy makes everyday to appreciate the little celebrations in life. Making him really emotionally open and socially approachable despite his troubled upbringing.

End.

Kinda a more interesting post for tonight. This is a comic page mock-up that I did for the third act of my Shazam story! ^_^ ⚡️

The idea here is that this is kinda the “inside” of the spell that allows Billy to share his powers with his siblings. In this scene Billy’s has just gotten ahold of The Wizard’s staff, causing it to activate its magic. So, we see a glimpse of Billy and all his siblings starting to magically float off the ground during the final battle against Black Adam. Showing that they are being affected by a spell of some sort.

Then, suddenly Billy is transported into this “mind palace”, that is a kinda like a shared liminal space to represent the connection Billy has formed with his siblings over the course of the story. When Billy is transported here, he finds shadowy figures of his siblings standing in the middle of a black, shadowy, fog.

He quickly approaches them, scared and confused. He’s unsure of what is happening, because he’s just not that familiar with magic yet. He’s trying to talk to Freddy, and ask him for help, but Freddy is not able to respond/interact with Billy. This shadowy figure is kinda like a “placeholder” for Freddy, and the other siblings as well. So, that’s why he’s unresponsive in this scene.

However, while this spell is happening, Tawny is trying to get through to Billy. Shouting at him to say the magic word, “Shazam” and complete the spell. Then, once Billy hears Tawny’s voice echo through this liminal space, he says the magic word, completes the spell, snaps back into reality, and sees that he’s temporarily empowered his foster siblings with the powers of living lighting. Meaning, this is my introduction to the Shazamly! Yay! 🎉

Once the spell is completed these shadowy “placeholders” for his siblings will be replaced with their actual consciousness, and they’ll look like their normal selves. Meaning, that when they all are using the powers of Shazam, they’ll have a shared liminal space where they can sense each other’s connection. However, we don’t see this “setting” again for the rest of the story, because it’s not really relevant once Billy has successfully opened his heart, and shared the powers with his siblings.

It will be relevant again if/when I write more stories in this universe. But for now, I’m just focusing on Billy’s origin story and putting the Shazamly in the third act.

But yeah, I just wanted to share this little snippet from the third act of my story. I have pretty much finished outlining my first story completely. I just don’t want to post it here yet, until I’ve turned my outline into like an actual screenplay or something lol. If you’re wondering what I’ve wrote,so far, it’s basically like if the 2019 Shazam film had more of a focus on fantasy and found family, instead of a focus on horror and wish-fulfillment. Which are all good themes but, I just wanted to tell my version of this story, and double down on my favorite tropes. :^).

So if you like Shazam, fantasy, found family, or just fan made stories in general stay tuned, I should have time to format and post my story, in its entirety, pretty soon!

Enjoy~✨

Drawing an updated Shazam/Captian Marvel design!! ⚡️❤️

Lots of minor tweaks over the past year but I’m pretty happy with the updated version. I’ve been trying to understand 3D shapes & drawing forms since I started drawing Shazam and I’m excited to learn more! ^_^
