    Scott, I think the detention area is a great idea.

      I'd love to see a Hall of Doom.

      Hint hint.

        Me too...turn one on it's side and voila!

        Starbuk---For sure. I put the building itself on the panels you see when you drop the big door down--I like that it gives the effect of opening that building down the middle. It'd be great to put it on the outside of the case so you can see it when it's all closed up if that's not too redundant, I don't know.

          Scott features the Hall on his Justice Headquarters display and on the front of this prototype. I love all of those HoJ images.

            I was thinking that maybe one of the chambers could be a "hall of heroes", you know "statues" of the various Super Friends and guest heroes (Plastic Man, Flash, Green Arrow, etc.) from each of the seasons taken from the actual episodes. Maybe the other chamber could be the "hall of villains" with "statues" of the Legion of Doom.

              Personally. When my daughter saw it. The first thing she said was, "awe Batgirl and...look Supergirl!"

              Keep it the way it is. At least for my daughter. The more girls on it, the more she will like it.


              Also, the whole "Super Friends" thing. Change the title to "Super Heroes, DC Heroes or the Justice League."
              My brother brought over "Challenge of the Super Friends" on DVD. Both of my daughters laughed so hard at the campiness they had tears in their eyes.
              They are from the JLU generation. That whole "Super Friends" was cool when we were kids but they don't seem to get it.
              They like their Batman, dark and gritty with the Kevin Conroy voice, usually smashing Joker or some villian in the face.
              The whole Batman with the Bob Barker voice dressed in blue telling kids to eat their vegetables puts them into a deep laughter. Not sure why they think that is so funny. I must be from the old school.

                Is it Toth specific or Super Friends specific?

                Batgirl still looks a little weird. Maybe this particular image should just be a really Toth tribute and let's get rid of the hacked up Supergirl and Batgirl.

                I like it better without Supergirl. She seemed out of place not being a Toth rendition. Captain Marvel, while not a Super Friend, fits in as a Toth and a Mego.

                  Well, we've got 3 versions going here, so I imagine you can have it with or without Batgirl and Supergirl.

                  This shows how it opens a bit better. Like I said, i don't know if the HOJ should be on the backside or not, what do you think? This is real rough, sorry.

                      Reading through this thread kind of reminds me of my gf telling the movers where to put her stuff. How about over there. No, On second thought how about over here instead. In any event the artwork looks great and it is a neat project that you are working on. Keep up the great work!

                        That's design for ya! Everything I work on takes page after page of thumbnail sketches before I even look at a computer. Sometimes no sketch works and the computer work is the ticket. I love the process though. Many ideas overlap into other projects, so I keep as much of the sketches as I have room for. (which ain't much, I tells ya!)

                          Yeah, this is pretty much what my work is like. "Move that here, move that there. Not that far. Up a bit. Make it green. Not that green. Split the difference. "

                          This is more fun. It nice to get feedback about what people want, so I'm grateful.

                              I dabble around with graphics at times for my own personal use. I can relate to what you are saying. I have many different versions of the same type image saved on my PC so I can go back at that particular point if I want to change something. This way nothing is set in stone and it makes editing more easier. Of course those that are in the graphics field such as yourself I am sure already know this. At any rate the final copy is what matters the most. It looks good so far. Keep up the great work!

                                Whatayall think of this? I replaced Batgirl's head with the one from the box and cleaned her up some more. Flipped SG and put her on the side in front of Shazam.
