I adore how this turned out. Can I say that?

I've been in a bit of a Shazam fix. Have enjoyed looking through some of the old classic books, as well as the more recent comics put out by Jeff Smith and Mike Kunkel, and wanted to try to capture a bit of that magic while having a lil bit of me in there as well.

While I have a range of tastes, I do tend to like a lot of all ages and kids comics. And I think Billy Batson & Shazam is one of those really perfect gifts in comic form that really needs to be championed out there.

A bit blasphemous for me as a self-described inker to do this, but I decided to draw this up sans inks, only as pencils, and then have it go straight to colors. I wanted to see what it might look like for fun, and also not be stressed trying to ink myself. Because a lot of times, the tighter I pencil and larger I draw, the more stiff my stuff becomes. Don't worry...will be inking away on new stuff shortly :)

Anyways....HUGE kudos goes out to :iconjudson8: for coloring this piece. Do yourself a favor and check out the rest of his wonderful gallery. He continues to amaze and delight a cynic like me who hates his art as soon as it leaves the drawing table. Thanks pal!

Aiming to have prints of these made.
