Joshua Soodeen - Super Snow-Man: Heat Vision

Currently my art focuses on a comic character I created called Super Snow-man. This comic tells the story of a snow city where yetis and snowmen live in harmony, working together to build and maintain their community. However, their peaceful existence is disrupted when a group of monster yetis attack the city, causing destruction and chaos. One of the snowmen, who is accidentally transformed into "Super Snow-Man" by a magic shop, rises up to defend the city and its inhabitants. He is assisted by a yeti dog who also becomes transformed. Together, they defeat the monster yetis and drive them out of the city. In the end, the smaller yetis and snowmen come out of hiding and begin to rebuild their town. Super Snow-Man and the yeti dog look towards the dark mountain where the monster yetis come from, and see that it is on fire. As an artist, I am always looking for ways to explore human emotions and experiences through my work. For this illustration, I wanted to capture the theme of fear in a unique and impactful way. The subject of my illustration is Super Snow-Man and his heat vision, a central aspect of his character and his powers. However, this illustration shows a side of Super Snow-Man that is rarely seen--a moment when his fear takes over and he loses control of his heat vision.
Through this illustration, I aim to bring attention to the idea that even superheroes have fears and weaknesses and that fear can have the power to overwhelm us, causing us to lose control of ourselves and our abilities. The bright, intense colours and dynamic lines used to depict the heat vision reflect the fear and chaos that is present in the moment. Meanwhile, Super Snow-Man's expression of fear and uncertainty highlights the personal, human aspect of the situation. In this illustration, I hope to encourage the viewer to consider their own fears and how they might impact them. At the same time, I want to show that even in moments of fear, it is possible to regain control and find a way through to the other side. Overall, I believe that this illustration successfully captures the theme of fear and its impact on our lives, and I am proud to have created it.
