Hyper the Phenomenal!

Hyper the Phenomenal! "Don-Vin, also known as Hyper the Phenomenal, is ray gun wielding spaceman. He has a girlfriend named Winifred and is enemies with a woman named Dolores. He does not posses any known superpowers."
Warren Ellis posts these character descriptions of old old characters (I'm guessing Hyper came out in the 40s or so) on his Message Board and artists go in and redesign/re-imagine them. It's a good exercise to have as a warm up. There's usually a week 'deadline' on the thread.
I was going to work this design in to a larger print, but it just wasn't quite working, and I already missed the thread deadline so I'm just letting it go. I'm definitely going to do a full blown illustration of him at some point though.
