Super Heroes

Superheroes tend to hide their identity so that they can live their normal life as well.  A mask is good good way of creating a character as it is like the crown of the hero and ultimately the brand. It may sometime have a logo. 

Female superheroes are quite rare. I do like the idea of it but i don't think i would be able to create a lair that would go well with a female. I do like the power idea in this image of having a sort of force to create objects and weapons. Colour is a very powerful form of representing this.

Another way to hide identity in an image isn't just to simply cover the face up but to use the light. It also adds a sense of mystery to the character as you never see their face at all. I could mimic this with a hat and use shadow to cover most of the face.

I also like the superheroes that don't necessarily have a power but use what they can to fight for good. Guns is good but it makes it too easy for the hero. Blades or some kind of unique weapon could be good. It is also a characteristic of the hero and becomes part of him/her.

Clothes are good for adding to the heroes powers. It's as if they are part of the hero and they have an ability of their own. For example i could have my character in a long coat that grows when the hero tries to fly.
