Did a redraw of a Deadpool comic cover as Failguy Skizz! I really enjoyed it as a study, it was super interesting to look so closely at a comic cover and analyze why I liked it. Failguy Skizz does NOT get enough rep!!

Original Illustration is by Scott Hepburn for Deadpool (2018) #12

My headcanons and reasons behind choices I made in my FailGuy design ;)

- He's a support figure; acting as backup, support, and crowd control.

- He's a bit of a walking hazard but that's just because he goes in headfirst into situations and is more than willing to put himself at risk if it means helping someone else <33

- Skizz canonically has a bow named FailGuy (per the hero sona name) but I gave him a slingshot cause I thought it was funny

- bright colors and high vis panels on his uniform so he is always visible. This is great for his crowd control job and directing civilians out of harm's way. It also makes him visible to other heroes who are looking for backup or are injured.

- Skizz wears a hard hat because it's safety first when you're running into collapsing buildings or in the midst of a fight! Don't want to be getting a concussion when trying to save someone else who already has one themselves!

- the X visor because an "X" is often associated with "fail" or "wrong"

- he's not called FailGuy because he always fails, but because he's "the one to call when all else fails". He's the heroes/ heroes org failsafe when someone else can't get the job done or when things go bad.
