Hey, Look It’s Mary Marvel‼️‼️

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!! ^_^ ⚡️💗

And last but certainly not least is Darla!! 💜⚡️

I might have to give her another outfit because the overalls are cute, but all the other siblings are for sure giving like autumn/winter time cozy kinda outfits.

The overalls are cute but they’re more spring/summer time especially with the Philadelphia weather!! >_< 🩷

I think next I’ll either design Rosa and Victor or I’ll maybe work on some sibling interactions!! ⚡️🍁

Work in progress!

This is my concept for the train car that Billy gets off of landing at the Rock of Eternity. I imagine the rock as a giant floating island that’s covered in jungle and rainforest plants, so I drew the train car after it gets magically transported to the rock so Billy can get his first glimpse of the magical other world.

My other Rock of Eternity concept art is [ HERE ] 🌴🐅🪨⚡️

🖤⚡️ My Black Adam Design ⚡️🖤

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~✨

Okay I think I finally settled on an art style for them LOL 😭💞

Anyways, here's my designs for Billy and Mary so far, they're so girly pop slay~ ⚡️

Btw for anyone who reads the tags

#Shazam:CoBL is my working tittle for this version of the characters.

It stands for Shazam: City of Brotherly Love. Because the story takes place in Philadelphia, and it's about found family like why would you NOT use that title. It’s lovely.

Here is a new Shazam design for my version of the story!! ⚡️

My idea was to have the adult Shazam look a lot more like his child-counterpart. I think this will help both characters seem like the same person, with the same internal struggles. Because Shazam isn’t Shazam without Billy Batson, ya know?

That baggage from his past, and his struggles in the foster care system breeds empathy within the character, and I think that empathy is a good way to keep a hero motivated to do good.

I was thinking on how I was gonna write the connection Between Shazam and Billy. So far what I’ve been thinking is Billy’s internal struggle in the story is that he’s worried that he is unlovable and he will never find a place where he truly belongs. That’s kinda why he has so much urgency to find his birth mother, because he’s craving that support system he had for the first few years of his life…

( writing continues below… 📝)

These feelings of worry,shame,guilt and overall just kinda feeling like a burden accumulates within him over the years as he grows up in the system. Being passed on from house to house with pretty much all of the adults in his life stripping him of any personal autonomy he had. Like the adults in his life don’t really care about his wants, and they never listen to his concerns. They just keep passing him around his entire childhood.

That lack of stability, and that lack of autonomy really make him feel isolated and sad.

Billy is in distress that he pretty much has no say in where he lives, who’s in his life, or even the amount of personal items he gets to own. And he feels kinda helpless that his fate is kinda being locked in this cycle until he turns 18. Because every time he runs off, he gets caught. Then he’s back at square one.

Then this connects to Shazam because once he receives the wizard’s powers he becomes an adult. Then in that moment he realizes he does have a lot of power he never had before, both in the sense of flight and super strength, but more importantly the power to make his own decisions.

However, since he is a child he does kinda turn towards the more reckless side of things. Like how we see in the 2019 movie. Using his powers to ditch school, test his abilities, finding ways to get money, and then learning how to buy things he wants. He kinda leans heavy into these habits at first because he’s never been presented with an opportunity to make his own decisions before. He’s never really had the opportunity to do what he wants.

Then over the course of the story shows Billy starting to navigate all the freedom he’s been given. Watching him learn to use his powers for more selfless acts of heroism instead of only for his own self interests.

Having his background be one of a kid growing up with no control in his life, knowing those feelings of isolation and helplessness makes him more empathetic. He’s an “adult” that’s a lot more empathetic towards children and the less fortunate because he understands them.

He’s more willing to stop and listen to their concerns.

He’s more willing to help them solve their issues, because he is one of them.

Work in progress for my Shazam story. ⚡️

This is a scene towards the start of the story, right after the prologue actually. It’s the scene where Billy’s social worker is trying to explain to him that she’s 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 it’s 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 I’ve had nights where I’ve 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,,,,

I’m still not sure at this point, but I guess I’ll have to decide soon if I want people to eventually be able to enjoy my take on Billy Batson’s origin story,,,,,

Also please excuse any typos it is 1AM for me while I’m working on this LOL

Anyways thank you byeeee~ ✨

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.
