Partially inspired by Cecil Turtle of Warner Bros cartoon fame, Mach Turtle not only is fast, but he flies…like a jet! His jet stuff pops out of compartments in his shell, of course.
This is the first draft. I’m actually not great at drawing the mechanical techno-military stuff so I’m hoping to make him cooler looking in the next iteration.
Here by special request is the World Wildlife Federation of Justice desktop wallpaper at 1280 pixels wide. If you need a different size, let me know and I’ll make another jpeg.

Then select “set as desktop background” and you can stare at the WWFJ battling their various foes every time you log on to your computer! Can you name them all?

With each character I create for the World Wildlife Federation of Justice, I like to create a logo to go with him/her. Here’s the first draft for Awesome Possum. I wanted to make it a bit reminiscent of Superman* and it kind of has that 1980’s Kenner Super Powers look, which is a happy accident.
* I find it interesting that Superman’s “S” on his chest has serifs, but the logo on his comic book does not.
Remember issue #44 of Barnyard’s Finest, where Awesome Possum has to rescue Octopussycat from Hypnopotamus? I found the original art. I’ll be framing it and putting it in the Vancouver Comic Jam Art Show at the Wallflower Modern Diner in April. Click “attending” on the Facebook event, if you dare!
Back to the original idea. Switcheroo is one of those classic Batman or Flash rogues gallery villains. He’s always got a trick up his sleeve. He’s replaced the priceless diamond with a replica. You’re about to clock him in the chops – you just walloped your sidekick! You think you’ve tied his hands up – they’re fake arms! Oh the old switcheroo! Comments on the design are welcome.
I had originally thought of Switcheroo as a trickster type villain, like the Riddler. All his schemes involving twist endings. The ol’ switcheroo, you know?
But I’m thinking I’m favoring this character who teleports. He can teleport to where you are and teleport you to where he is. So his tactic would be to jump into a pit of acid and switch places with the hero at the last second. That sort of thing.
Not sure why exactly I gave him a Jugheadesque crown and a sweater. But you’ll notice that the S on his chest is also a symbol of two arrows trading places with one another. That’s my favourite part.
Second pass at the villainous Clock-A-Doodle-Doo. Note the cuckoo coming out of his chest!
Drawn by hand; painted digitally.
