WB Animation Character Design, YOUNG JUSTICE, Belle Reve Prison guards. Pencil, Digital Color.
In the episode, "Terrors," many arch-villains return who have faced our Young Justice team before, including some of the cold-criminals from the premiere episode ("Independence Day"). It is Mr. Freeze who surprises this prison guard with a blast of icy death.
As usual, I endeavored to design these incidental characters with some individuality, and visual interest. No guard looks like another, and in the end, I think this is a minor detail that nevertheless adds some dimension to the show, if only on a subliminal level. I think the animators did a fine job translating my designs, and I was tickled to see that they even managed to keep the little name tags I gave each one. Haha! And, incidentally, one of the guards was named for our esteemed Line Producer. Can you guess which one?

Nope. "Banks" just felt easy to letter. "Riker" was named after a Star Trek character (no reason). "Hauser" was named after Arnold's character in "Total Recall." "Wilcox" is the name of our Line Producer. And "Biggitz" was merely an obvious homonym for "bigots."
The prison eponymy idea would have been more clever than I was at the time.

There is absolutely no inevitability as long as there is the willingness to think.
