Radical SILVERHAWKS Character Art Series by Josh Burns
If you grew up in the 1980s, then it was your privilege to bask in the glory of cartoon awesomeness. One of my favorite cartoons and toylines was Silverhawks. This is one of those properties that I’m surprised hasn’t been adapted into a movie yet because I think it could be awesome, and I've got some awesome fan art here for you to check out created by Josh Burns. Warner Bros. currently holds the rights to the property, and I’ve already shared my thoughts on this saying:
The SilverHawks team is recruited by a bionic police man named Commander Stargazer, and tasked with fighting the villainous Mon’Star, who is an escaped alien mob boss that transforms into an enormous armor-plated creature. This would make for a visually stunning film, especially with the setting and characters that are partly metal and partly human. This kind of film seems like it would have a Guardians of the Galaxy-type vibe, which is why I’m surprised WB hasn’t jumped all over it. I can see it as an action-packed adventure movie with some great humor.
Some of the other characters that you’ll find below include Quicksilver, the leader who has a metal bird companion named TallyHawk. There are a couple of twins that go by the names of Steelheart and Steelwill. They are the technician and strongman. Then there’s a country singer character named Col. Bluegrass who plays a sonic guitar and pilots the team’s ship, the Miraj. Rounding out the team is a younger character named Copper Kidd, who is a mathematical genius who speaks in whistles and computerized tones.
