First Flight of Calibre!
🕑 Added 2025-01-09 03:06:20 +0000 UTCThis fellow is one of my very first original characters dreamed up way, way back in 1994. For a teenaged DB, this man represented a lot of things I liked in the world of superheroes: Courage, strength, compassion, decency. He also, as time would tell represented other things I liked in men generally: Older, bearded, thick-bodied, hairy... Incredibly enough this is my first time illustrating him digitally. He has an entire backstory and world and supporting cast of characters around him but because his story isn't a specifically adult-themed one, I guess I never really felt a need to draw him here. But, it always feels good to revisit old characters and freshen up their designs, remember why I made them, and what I still like about them.
His powers are flight, super-strength, super-durability, and the ability to create temporary energy shields around himself. I actually don't think I ever came up with a real name for him either. But if I ever decide to do more with this character I'll get those background details taken care of.

Thank you, Tanner!
Dude Bulge
It's true, and I do
Dude Bulge
Thank you, thank you, I think so too!
Dude Bulge
Looooool. A few people seem to like that about this image... How odd?
Dude Bulge
Oh, sadly I don't think Calibre could hold his own against a Viltrumite... at least for long. (unless we're talking purely on looks and then he def. has a shot!)
Dude Bulge
Trust it's doing things for me too :D
Dude Bulge
LOL! You have very similar taste to another friend of mine!
Dude Bulge
His story is a pretty long one but, at its core he is a man betrayed by those closest to him and learning to trust people again, and know the difference between 'good' and 'well-meaning.'
Dude Bulge
We love a man in uniform <3
Dude Bulge
I am personally a big fan!
Dude Bulge
Well thank you Harry! Is that just the ginger bias showing? ;P
Dude Bulge
Ha! That's cool. I think I've only ever heard one person mention using my art as a phone background. And thanks! I am really fond of the colors here too.

I feel like the colors in this piece really pop out, and visually everything looks really good together (specifically background sky and buildings with the hero). I also really enjoy the portrait orientation, and I'm not sure why. It's hot to see him from head to toe (and even sole!), and the portrait style really brings it out. It also looks really great on my phone and could be used as a wallpaper.

He's extremely gorgeous, but ... his eyes have a forlorn look in them. Why is that? Is he missing his husband?
He who Enjoys Fathers
I absolutely would love a comic series based around this handsome man.
