I absolutely love this new look of Bunker. It really elevates what was previously a pretty basic outfit into something so much more unique and expressive, whilst still paying homage to that original design. He is still recognisable as Bunker. Having his powers actually form the suit is a genius move. Not just as a means of helping convey what the character can do and what he's about, but from an-universe angle too. It opens up a lot more versatility for Bunker by letting him change on the fly. And from a creator side of things, that facilitates a nice compromise of a more casual clothes look and a desire to keep his more iconic aspects. All around excellent job really.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the thoughtful comment. My hope is we get more stories so we can show off the character in different looks (both casual and armored-up!) And maybe this will entice other creators to use the character in their books, because he's so fun and versatile! 😁
I was just thinking of Bunker today and how he's one of my favorite superheroes, and then I saw this on my feed! You are so spot on what makes him so appealing. Really looking forward to this, Andrew! 😄
Hey Andrew, awesome video! I can tell you're very happy and excited about this new opportunity, and I am very happy for you. I look forward to seeing more videos from you :)
I love this new outfit! Read a couple issues with bunker earlier this year and adored him as a character. I think you really did him justice with the redesign, great job!
Bunker was one of the best things that came out of the New 52 Teen Titans run and I’m glad that he is at least still being used even if it is not as much. I love the color change from lavender to pink as a way to show that he has more control in his powers.
Glad you like it! Some people may be put off by the hot pink on the model sheet, but I threw in some neutral lavenders and cool purples in the final colors (especially when things got really dire), so it just broadens the range of his visual energy!
I love Bunker he is one of my favorite heroes! It's awesome to see a definitive older version of him especially now that i'm older compared to when I was reading Teen Titans it's amazing to see the character grow up.
More to come! Thanks for your patience. I'm hoping to get back to live-streaming weekly before the year is out. I missed hanging out with people online while drawing! 😁
Aww thank you so much! Hope you like the story! We crammed a ton of stuff into that 10-page comic! It's a dense, wild (and hopefully satisfying) holiday ride. 😁
I’d love to see him featured in a City Boy comic or team-up ! Not much reason other than him having a constructive architecture-adjacent power that could be fun to tie together in interesting ways 😅
You back! Your new studio in the background looks very nice! I agree with the feedback they gave you. I think the ponytail look would go great with an older relative of his. The final version looks very good!
Super interesting to follow the process of such a redesign. Thanks for sharing!!! Also your enthusiasm about this project gives me good vibes on a cold and rainy day! + I'm now curious about Bunker!
Glad you enjoyed it! This is the kind of video I'd love to get from other comics creators. I don't know if I'll get this kind of opportunity again, so I'm sharing what I can while I'm able to! 😁
Research, why? If you have an idea, it helps to understand the "you" in the character. I'm always impressed how you use feedback to improve your concepts.
I think research is important so that the character's history informs the design, that way it feels like a real evolution (rather than just a sudden shift!) But I also agree with you in that it helps to find the "you" in the character.
Wow! Thank you so much for helping to bring back Bunker and for the fantastic redesign. To use his bricks to form his costume is an epic idea. On November 1st, when Josh had tweeted "Bunker is back, baby!", I answered his tweet with 3 miniposter I made. I wanted to use them to start a petition to bring back Bunker. And now you and Josh did it, hooray! I think Bunker is one of the most interesting characters in the DC universe. He's so incredibly powerful and could easily be a dangerous supervillain, but chooses to be optimistic, helpful and friendly. I really hope that the responsible people at DC realise it and allow Josh and you to give us more stories.
Fingers crossed we get more Bunker stories! Josh and I have so many cool ideas for him. We really believe he can hold his own solo series if given the chance. 😁
I loved bunker. But you kind of ruined him. Never before was he defined by his sexuality. Your version makes his sexuality literally the only part of him thus making him worse. I hope you take this the right way. Yall only ever draw gay characters in the most stereotypical way and now bunker is one dimensional. Because of you.
Hi Jonathan! I'm sorry the design strikes you that way. I really poured my heart into this. Our intention is to broaden Bunker's visual range and make his world bigger, not smaller. If we're able to tell more stories, hopefully you'll see more of the care and thought we've put into this character.
Bunker was super-popular, he was literally the only really popular aspect of that run. They really need to bring him back to titans!
My fingers are crossed we get more of him after this! 🤞
I hope so! I hate seeing the queer characters only appear in the Pride issues. Fingers crossed the same doesn't happen to my girl Dreamer 🤞
Bunker is one of my favorite dc characters and your design is amazing!!! Really hope we’ll see more of it if future features.

Thanks so much! More on the way for sure. I'm almost fully set up and I'm eager to get back to it. 😁
I love hearing your creative process
Thank you so much! I'm a process junkie and it's so fun to share what I've been geeking out on!
Bunker rules! congratz!!

I'm so glad you like it! I really did my best to honor the character! 😁

So happy to hear this! Fingers crossed we get to tell more stories with him! 🤞🏽
Nice to have you back on RUclips. I am happy for you, you were given the opportunity to redesign Bunker. Looking forward to read it.
More to come! Thanks for your patience. I'm hoping to get back to live-streaming weekly before the year is out. I missed hanging out with people online while drawing! 😁
@@Comicbooker Great story and great design. I love the way you integrated the panels into the brick design.
I was happy to see Bunker was coming back, and outright thrilled to see it was you on the creative team!
Aww thank you so much! Hope you like the story! We crammed a ton of stuff into that 10-page comic! It's a dense, wild (and hopefully satisfying) holiday ride. 😁

Oooh that's a great idea!
Cool vid! Give us a tour of your new art room.
Coming soon!
You back! Your new studio in the background looks very nice! I agree with the feedback they gave you. I think the ponytail look would go great with an older relative of his. The final version looks very good!
Thank you! Yeah haha I'm back! Still a few more things to set up, but hopefully I'll get back to livestreaming weekly before the year is over! 😁
That is a cool looking character
Bunker and Superboy are friends in New 52 for those who didn't Know

@@Comicbooker Exactly die kind of video I love to watch from other comic creators! Hope there will be a lot of opportunities for you! ^__^
YO! This design is fire!!!!!!!!!
Aw yeah! Glad you think so! 😁

i am a 12 year old artist who is writing a comic for my 2 year old character, this really motivates me
For a 12 year old your art is great far better than I was at that age keep grinding
Just looked at your art, and it's very expressive! Keep up the good work! Can't wait to read your stories! ☀️
@@Comicbooker OH WOW THANKS
Nice
‘Superhero’ 😂
I WANNA BE LIKE YOU ONE DAY
Bro legit put the pink triangle on a gay superhero, looks good though.

@@Comicbooker I agree wholeheartedly and I know you could make it work. I'd buy every single issue in an instant and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
Definitely leaned into the gay look, that's for sure.
He's always been a bit flamboyant, so I think it fits his character! 😁
