"Grodd hates humans and everything to do with humans. For this reason, I haven't give Grodd an outfit of any kind. He wouldn't want to wear clothes or boots, because that's far too human. He's quite happy to stay a big hairy gorilla. But Grodd is a villain, so he's also a hypocrite. While hating human things he's quite happy to adopt human ways when it suits him. So he smokes cigars, likes heavy machine guns, pops anabolic steroids and injects himself with gorilla growth hormone to give himself extra-large muscular arms."
Our next contestant wanted to "do a more serious and political take on the villain."

"Commander Grodd, our villainous gorilla, uses his fierce psionic abilities to control an army of mass proportions. In addition, his inner circle is vilely composed of child soldiers. Shielded by these children he has managed to take over the African continent and prepares to conquer the world. Due to the sensitive nature of his army, our superheroes fail to break his ranks and struggle helplessly as the world becomes a darker place."

[UPDATE]
Typically when people request an extension by a day or two, I'll grant it. I know how people get busy, and I try to accommodate everyone who wants to participate in our monthly contests. Such is the case with the next two submissions:

What do you all think? Let us know in the comments, and be sure to check out all of the Gorilla Grodd submissions sent in. We'll be getting around to judging this week, with special guest judge, @GorillaGrodd, and the winner will be announced January 31 -- one week from today.
Stay tuned to Superhero of the Month -- in a couple of days we'll be officially announcing next month's Starfire contest!





Wow, find them all interesting, except the over done African theme Grodd. Of course I am having a bad day - I must be really out of touch - I just found out today they killed spidey in that other universe.... Hate Marvel right now.
ReplyDeleteWow, Omar's is brilliant. I like all of them, but I think that's my favourite of the bunch.
ReplyDeleteWish I could've gotten my act together and sent something in (Maybe for Starfire) :)
Funny how three of the designs entered have Grodd smoking a cigar.
ReplyDeleteBTW, if anyone is interested in early sketches of my gorilla-with-a-machine-gun Grodd, you can find them by clicking the word Lemurtree above...
Yeah, the smoking Grodd commonality was something I found funny, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for mentioning that link. I also went ahead and hyperlinked your name underneath your illustration.
I feel like Sousa's drawing really depicts the "grand entrance in the new universe" that Grodd deserves.
