A Man Named Charlie

This is my Entry for the Original Character Design Contests, it's based on the "Charlie" Song, I think it's a good character to represent Boston and Cambridge. The idea is that this guy get's on the T (at Kendall Station) back in the '40s and is still riding the subway and helping the common folk. The original idea came out a little like The Spirit with The Question's face, so I decided to age him and make him look really poor so no one will suspect that he is really a Super Hero.
You can read about the history of this song, the rest of the lyrics and also listen to it at this MIT site.

Original Character Design Challenge #5 - Local SuperHero

After wining the last Character Design Challenge at the Ten Ton Studios Forum with my MOMUS Character I have the opportunity to set the rules for the next one, so here it is:

>Original Character Design Challenge #5 - Local SuperHero<

The Original Character Design Challenge! Here are the rules... Design a character(s) based on the short description and research materials provided...that's it! Winner gets to be smug about it, and create the details for the next character! 


DEADLINE: posting will start Wednesday at Midnight, March 9st, 2011 and will go till the Weekend (Friday at Midnight) 


CURRENT CHALLENGE:
BUILD A LOCAL SUPER HERO! 
Where every you live (Country, State, City, town, down the bottom the grand canyon) there is crime and a Super hero void, this is your opportunity to help your community. Create a Super Hero that reflect the local culture, tradition and history of the place you live, it could be where you grew up too but let's try to keep it on a place you know and lived in. For extra credit, draw him interaction with your city/town and show he/she belongs there. Think of the reverse way of creating Metropolis for Superman or Gotham City for Batman.
