During the last two episodes of The CW’sThe Flash, fans were introduced to a new character played by Adam Stafford, Adam Fells, a.k.a.Geomancer. Over the weekend, concept artistAndy Poonreleased an early design for this villainous character on hisInstagrampage, along with designs for Doctor Light (Malese Jow) and Jay Garrick (Teddy Sears). Here’s what the artist had to say about his Geomancer design, which was created before Adam Stafford was cast.
“Geomancer concept I did forThe Flash, with costume designer Maya Mani. I finished this one before the actor was cast so I based my concept onJensen AcklesofSupernatural. Thought would give it a shot since he’s already shooting supernatural in Vancouver and seems like @amelladventures is buddies with the Winchester brothers already. I tired! Maybe next time. Have a good weekend!”
Last week’s episode,Escape from Earth-2, also featured bothJay Garrickand Doctor Light, along with a few appearances from otherEarth-2characters likeDeathstorm(Robbie Amell) and Killer Frost (Danielle Panabaker). The concept artist shed even more light on the Jay Garrick and Doctor Light designs on hisBlogspotpage, where he talked about how difficult it was to come up with these new looks. Here’s what he had to say below.
“This week’s episode of Flash, the Flash, Harrison 2 and Cisco took a trip to Earth 2 Central City. It was an awesome action packed and fun episode. A TON of easter eggs especially while the team is in the speed canon tunnel we got a glimpse of John Wesley Shipp’s Flash from the 1990 series, Supergirl and Jonah Hex. They also encounter Killer Frost, Deathstorm and other dobblegangers. Jay Garrick also put back on his Flash suit for awhile. So here are 2 concepts of characters from Earth 2 I got to work on with costume designer Maya Mani, Jay Garrick Flash and Dr Light. Both of these were tricky in the sense that they were simple costumes in the comics, and Earth 2 characters seem to embrace the source abit closer. So to just have the right amount of details while not over complicating the design and ruining the nice iconic images of the comic characters were a delicate balance.”
If that wasn’t enough, the artist also revealed early designs forDC’s Legends of Tomorrowcharacters White Canary (Caity Lotz) and the new Firestorm (Franz Drameh).The Flashreturns this week withKing Shark, airing Tuesday, February 23 at 8 PM ET, withDC’s Legends of TomorrowairingStar City 2046on Thursday, February 25, which featuresArrowstarStephen Amellguest-starring as a much older version of Oliver Queen.
