Project Description:

My time in the Core Curriculum at Boston University afforded me the chance to design a set of six superheroes to be used an unofficial mascots for the class of 2004, featuring the Molecular Man, Leviathan, Lady Sibyl, Mr. Socratic, Doctor Faustus, and the Noble Savage. Compared to my usual sketchy style of art, I went for a very stylized and simplified style, evoking Saturday morning cartoon or Golden Age comic books. They were each shaded using only blocks of solid color to aid in this look. Giant versions of the characters remained in the Core suite for years afterward, and I am still pleased with how the designs came out…well, the Noble Savage still looks a bit off to me.
