The Bumbler

In scraps for now. Design still under development, but I was so pleased with how parts of him turned out that I wanted to share him a bit early. Not sure what I'll do with him in the long run, but having fun working on him for now.

Been mulling over this fella for a while now. He's a bumble bee themed superhero (unrelated to the Buzzed fellow in my gallery). After being stung by genetically-altered bee (part of an experiment to rectify their recent disapperance), security guard Benjamin Bombini started to experience some changes. Aside from some weight gain (as a result of his mutation and a new dependency on sweets) and an increase in body hair, he gained super-powers: Enhanced strength/durability, (somewhat clumsy) flight, and a short-range bio-energy "sting".

Between his chubbiness, his bumbling flight ability, and his tendency to be a bit of an airhead, he's not taken very seriously by the press or most villains (Hence his name; Not the name of his choosing...). But he has a certain optimism/stubbornness that allows him to "Forrest Gump" his way through most conflicts.

Edit: Basically got his look/uniform design down, I think. It is a bit dull, perhaps. Will do s'more sketching. Still torn on the matter of some sort of antennae. I'm leaning towards not, but we'll see how things develop.
