First Flight of Calibre!

This 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.

First Flight of Calibre! First Flight of Calibre!

Carrot Cake

Hehe maybe 😅😝

Harry Ginger

He will if he can!

Dude Bulge

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.

Dude Bulge

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.

I’d be so down to see more of this hero! He’s cute as fuck!!!

Harry Ginger

Oooph!! I mean who doesn’t like a ginger daddy going grey ! So sexy !

Mumtaz jafri

oh my :) super hot both naked and in his uniform :)

Neirin

He's extremely gorgeous, but ... his eyes have a forlorn look in them. Why is that? Is he missing his husband?

Xyverz

I absolutely would love a comic series based around this handsome man.

He who Enjoys Fathers

He’s so hot!! I’d love for him to save me anytime

Pisces273

He's sure sexy!
