Hey Guys! Here's the last post for tonight, the alternate rendering to nic011's Toonman artwork! Can you spot the difference?

Here's a refresher on Toonman's origin if you need it:

ORIGIN

A cartoon character created in the height of the golden age of animation, Tom Foolery’s original pilot failed to garner enough interest to move forward, his creators abandoning their passions and leaving the character a forgotten footnote in animation history. Tom Foolery, however, lived-on in a pocket parallel universe that would become known as “Toontopia”, the home where two-dimensional animation characters reside after being brought to life through animation. However, after over a hundred years of watching Toontopia grow and hundreds of cartoon characters fulfilling their purpose of bringing joy to others, Tom had grown increasingly desperate to reclaim his own purpose. It was such desperation that allowed Tom to be manipulated by the great “cartoon devil” into a deal- her freedom for his second chance.

The deal went south, however, as upon freedom the cartoon devil immediately banished Tom through the 4th wall barrier into the human world. Believing he still got his second chance at being a real cartoon character, Tom sought out his creator’s descendant, and a string of events would lead Tom to using cartoonish ‘powers’ to protect his new friends and save many lives; after which he was hailed as a brand new superhero. Convinced that he could make good on his second chance more and fulfill his purpose better if he embraced the role, Tom Foolery took on the mantle of “Toonman: The Animated Ace”, and would soon go from being one of the strangest and most unconventional new heroes to one of the most hailed and beloved protectors of righteousness the world would come to see!
