WB Animation Character Design, YOUNG JUSTICE: INVASION, Beast Boy Transformations. Pencil, Digital color.

Mr. Phil Bourassa guest-stars in this illustration, since I'm borrowing his design of Beast Boy for character reference (Hi, Phil!). Among my assignments is to render some of the animal versions of young Garfield Logan (along with my pal Dusty Abell). As established in DC Comics, each animal form retains Beast Boy's verdant hues (for purposes of identification). However, for the show, it was decided to also retain his uniform collar as a means of explaining that his clothes instantaneously expand from, or contract into this shape to accommodate his bestial and humanoid forms.

Pictured here is Beast Boy as an African elephant, a peregrine falcon, and a callithrix, or green monkey. Thanks for viewing!

*Beast Boy is the property of DC Comics, and WB Animation.

Question. What's with the collar in his transformations? Is it a control device or something?

The producers felt the character's animal forms needed a further identifier, beyond the green coloring. Additionally, there was the need to explain what happens to Gar's uniform when he transforms. Otherwise, you would have green animals wearing a red and white suit.

If it happens, good for them. It would be an historic precedent, with the fans demonstrating that they do matter, and they do have power.

As always, your creations are nothing short of an amazement! Even if you don't draw many animals, it's stunning. Beast Boy's designs in YJ are one of my favourites, i must admit
