So I really like comic books as like an art form, media, form of visual storytelling and sequential art and I know many people know comics via Marvel and DC superheroes so i wanted to highlight some creative fan's who's artwork, character designs and or redesigns and Au's who I really like and i think deserve some love...

P.S Im super Sorry if some of the link's are not active but im having trouble putting in Links to instagram profile's

The Anti-Apocalypse Man

There headverse au of Dc characters is a bold , colourful , pop explosion that effusively mixes all of their favourite comics with their own creative touch , no shying away from non humanoid bodies with aliens or robotic character's , piercing , cool fashion sense, big capes, long jackets, crop tops, chunky boots and gloves, belts make up some of the common design elements in their designs. Check them out, they have a great sense of style that's wholly unique to them that screams too cool for school.

There's an obvious almost infectious sense of Love present for some of the characters that always manages to improve my mood. Another facet of the art is the great background lore for their au that creatively mashes together like dozens of cool ideas from the comic's like multiversity, all-star superman, scott synders justive league, the characters of jack kirby and steve orlando.

I would recommend you take a look If you like the works of Grant Morrison, Frank Miller's Dark Knight universe, 90s teen superheroes especially, you might find this right up your alley. Lots of designs for young justice, JSA, Doom patrol, superman and batman families of characters there's a lot to love about the pop, punk, bright saturated colours and almost collage artwork/pop art feel it gives off with the sheer visual kaleidoscope of awesomeness that is on display.

JENSCIN are two people

This indonesia pair of artists share some great artostic talent their desings or classic dc character's makes them look very human and have this comforting sense of warmth. Their artwork involving their original ideas for some adorable short little dc comics with a very huggable looking superman redesign that take inspiration from more classic golden age adjacent media look a lot of cool ideas about superman experience as an immigrant, like have you ever wondered what kryptonian food tasted like I didn't used to but now I do. An amazing take on an asian american lois lane, a 10/10 mercy design, Atlantienis having pitch black eyes like that of deep sea fish from living at great depths is an amazing detail. Have I mentioned they ahve put more thought, effort and love into everyone's Extraterestile cookie monster J'onn J'onzz then Dc has done in years please take some time to read Sons of Mars, their mars au lore is just excellent and their reinterpretation of mallifalak is so much better than what's previously been done with the character. Also not having the scientist who teleported John to earth be actually alive and part of his immediate social group is great. There way of blending sci-fi elements of DC stroies with a perspective focused on exploring character's unique cultural backgrounds is absolutely fascinating. 10/10 please check them out if you have the time.

Gabriel Larragán Villalobos

He is a Costa Rican Artist I found Via instagram, art style is very sharp line work, angular designs jaws and well defined musculature. Their colour work ranges from vibrant bright primaries or metallic golds highlighting darker colour palette featuring forest greens, dark blues. Wine red, blacks.

He has a lot of great marvel redesigns in their Au he created for their Spider-sona the Night spider universe with a amazing original avengers line up and outside of that some excellent x men character artwork ( glad to see someone else liked wolverine and the x-men young cast members as well), moon knight as the leader for the 'cult of knoshu'. His DC stuff is also really great, lots of very fun Bat family designs along with some dynamic and interesting new takes on Teen titans and the Super son's and a great Outlaws Au with red hood, Roy harper and kara as a rebellious punk found family is awesome. Their Nubia and Daina are very cool. Their Black canary design is just Great (short hair). Also check out his powerpuff girls and Ninja turtle stuff.

This Tumblr user's Artwork is really great in having warm tones and does redesigns for Dc characters such as the Justice League , JSA, JL international and teen titan's, DKR universe stuff. They do a very good job with clothes as well as musculature so their amazon sketches are really good, diana as a wrestler in the style of grappling wrestling they did historically in ancient greece is really fun idea, they also do a great job at non-human characters and their designs for atlanteans, starfire, trigon, martians are all appropriately horrifying in tjis artwork.

As fans I think we forget just how not like a person some of these characters should look, the scales/fins being part of aquamen rather then clothes is cool, some specific details i found i really liked were the dixie boots and retro S design for superman, diana's hair and more tiga like upper outfit, the big ears on their batman, the female flashes designs , clear glass on cyborg synthetic parts, that power girl design ( of several) with like the clunky mecha boots and gauntlets. The artists have a great use of colour, great understanding of anatomy, and some really good clothing designs. Fair warning some bare chests ( npth male and female) and some more gorey pic's among their work.

An artist I discovered via Instagram under the account name vnskecthes that has some great marvel redesigns and DC ones in between lots of commission work and OC sketches, using the likes of spider man, dr strange, black panther, iron man, captain america, ant man, shang chi ect. They offer a lot of variety as any single character focus piece has multiple designs presented, very slick artstyle with usually small colour palette for anyone, design keeps things nice and uniform, great texture on metal. Really cool mecha looking iron man stuff , and nice difference in masks for their black pattern designs, oni mask wolverine and daredevil is pretty cool. they done some DC resigns as well really like the No cape strong body armoured Martian manhunter,dr fate as a dog, satna with a little cape and glasses ( gives off very much a dork in private life vibes), fem flash with a mask, duel sword Wonder woman. A lot of influence from anime ,manga and video games for inspiration here that creates its own unique vibe.

This artist has a lot of great Redesigns. A good fantastic four redisings, a strong more stocky built version of susan storm, a reed with a clam smile and a good amount of grey hairs and a johnny a lopsided grin. Their x men redesigns are also pretty cool, their modern x men line up has this double line motif on cyclops, accents beat's lab coat and storms stockings mixed with bright colours makes it look very slick and striking, the classic x men line up has some practical looking suits and features a non-binary angel, his justice league redesigns are pretty cool I like the variance in body type and hair styles he has, also the dr fate design is way too attractive. His batman redesigns are pretty cool pinty little shoulders and full mask, jacket and goggles catwoman ( some pre-crisis red head jason love), teen titans redesigns are cool too, prosthetic looking leg cyborg, energetic beast boy, also both of his wonder woman designs go slap so hard! The original more canon adjacent one with the Dog tags and tie back hair is super cool but the later sketches of a tall, wild free flowing hair and BUILT like a brick house are also excellent.

Taku (@Yotakuboi)

Probably the artist with the least amount of artwork out at present but quantity does not equate quality. I found them on instagram as yotaku_boi , this artists has a frantic sort of energy to their art but crisp, clean line work effective matched with effective colour schemes and some really great character redesigns for spider man related characters, a more monster looking batman, a really cool catwoman design, the best drax design I have ever seen, a really interesting look for venom with a bulbous frog like tongue and black and white used to make a skeleton accents that remind me of a de los Muertos mask. Lot of his designs feel like they belong in an animated cartoon series and there is an obvious appreciation for a bit of a horror esthetique in some of his work.

This artist most easily found on deviantart has a well proportioned that depicts almost Gabriel Ba esque art styles version of these characters very well, his use of bright colours and love of zany more cosmic, high flying silver age comic vibe is evident in every artwork especially some of his OC's , hes done art of the avengers, spider man, dr strange, fantastic four and a fairly extensive list of X men characters , he has also done Justice league, teen titans, legion super heroes. New gods, super pets and some DC rogues galleries. His artwork often features status effects around the characters such as radiating Kirby krackles of energy or surrounded by flames, he also often plays with detail on characters skin such as swirling moving of magma's arms or magic's metal arm or the tattoos he gives hawkwoman. He also seems to really love animals and that's always a plus. I don't care if it's silly if we are able to say a person can fly then why can't his dog also fly too.

For anyone who's a fan of thor or DC character's I would encourage you to take the time to check out this amazing artist. He has recently done DCtober an art challenge where people redesign/draw a character a day for a month all of which are very cool, the year before he did a Marveltober where he did the same thing although those designs are monochrome but still excellent.

There are many things I can point to as to what I enjoy in his designs his batgirl home made looking costume, how cartoonish Mr Miracle looks like he's trying to escape being two dimensional, the ocean colour scheme for his aquaman and the fiery colour scheme of his ares, he also has really cool designs for high tech armour on characters like black manta, blue beetle, big barda. He has also done art based on various IP's he doen designs based off the unfinished justice league mortal film film the 2000's, flashpoint universe characters, spiderman and spider verse and X-men with a EArth X design influence.

Where do I even begin to describe this artist. He has a constant output of new artwork everyday. I have been following for the past two or 3 years now and can definitively say that he loves art and is always improving his already amazing skills. His character redesigns mostly Marvel stuff although his old Dc redesigns are fun too and have a great Idea of giving each big character their own fifth dimensional imp, He's done about three maybe four rounds of redesigns at this point for a lot of the different ip's like X-men, spider man, fantastic four, captain america, hulk, thor, runaways, big hero six ect. The hero in question is a lot of their rogue's gallery and their allies.

His most recent has him doing different alternate universe to his overall AU version of marvel which has some interesting features to it such as mash up of new warriors with big hero six, happy hogan in a iron suit, black peter parker, with miles morales under the alias scarlet spider and ghost spider being the gwen clone from the original 70's clone saga story, fem captain america and falcon, monica rambeau as captain marvel with kamla as her sidekick spectrum, Nick coulson as Machine Man ( for my fellow agents of shield watchers I thought this was very clever). Overall great creative energy very well versed in both the comic's themselves and other related media such as recent video games or movies. The overall influences and desing elements are taken from all over showcasing both their immense creative and technical skills and their humbling love for these comic books in every piece of artwork they post.
