In honor of our recent Top Five Patriotic Characters episode (http://www.comicgeek..._speak-842.php), we issue the next Fan Art Challenge for July!

Show us your own artwork (new or old) of your favorite patriotic character either already established in comics or make one up! Dress them in the old red, white and blue or create a character with ties to other nations/countries. Be creative, be silly but most of all have fun.

And you don't have to be an artist to participate! Even if you draw stick figures, we wanna see it!

Awesome start. For more inspiration check out the July 4th Project:

This is an art blog featuring variations by many cartoonists on the notion of the patriotic, all-American superhero.

Nothing new here (although I REALLY need to take some time away from flatting to draw more).

Thank you for posting that Katie.
The thread really needed something cute, innocent and well done after the horror show post preceding it.

Oh gosh, Katie, it's so cute! Makes me want to run out and find some of those comics right now to read (well, makes me want to do that more). Fab!

I'm not gonna lie--I love it. I'd totally read a book with him in that costume. Just once, though.

And here is my two-pennies worth. The first was obious. I had to draw Cap, in a Jack Kirby style, of course.


And this ia creation of mine from years ago ( think I've remembered the design correctly). I was a big Captain Britain fan when I was a kid and came up with my own Brit-hero. This is Sentinel. I liked the wrap around design of Gaurdians costume, the guy from Alph Flight, and based it around that.
