Tiny pixel heroes; Avengers, He-Man and Adventure Time
James Boorman is a talented character artist who has been able to take dozens of superheroes, He-Man characters and even Adventure Time into pixel art.

I think we’ll see a surge in Hawkgirl cosplayers if DC Legends of Tomorrow is a hit. In the meantime we’ve got this stunning, traditional, Hawkgirl. Look at those wings! That mace isn’t going to take prisoners, either! Photography by the talented Pat Loika.
