character: the wonder and super women of DC. rating/warnings: hot like hephaestus's forge and krypton's young sun. media: pen, ink, & ps7 artist's note: this is a reworking of an earlier series of drawings.

( the real power. )
i also recently went back and tagged every entry in my journal, so if you only want to look at pictures of the original boy wonder, his surly mentor or bad eggs, now you can!
and now, ♪♪♪ call! if you have any comics-inspired playlists or songs of the moment, share the love around! just random good old-fashioned music recommendations are accepted as well. i'll start. here's a song for mr. bruce wayne.

man. the last few weeks have been pretty stressful and busy for me, but one really bright spot was visiting my pal alexa and playing some of the most intense dress-up of my life with her at nerd prom '08. she also took most of these photos since my memory card crapped out at the last second. thanks, lex! me hate you the worst. ♥
on friday we were ( death & delirium from the sandman. )
 on saturday we were the world's worstest, ( bizzara & batzarra! )
 and of course there were many other ( strange and wonderful sights to behold. )
sunday we dressed like normal people and had a perfectly lovely time.
 ...and that's a con!
edit: ah, and how could i forget! on saturday we got to meet sean murphy and dustin nguyen and lurk around them in the artists' alley for a bit. they both took the time to look at my portfolio and say generally encouraging things despite the bevy of fanpeople fighting for their attention and merchandise. two deeply talented guys, and about as nice as they get! |

today on the gritty menu we have an illustration for an article in the las vegas weekly on local racial tensions, and for pretty we are offering a sharpie and acrylic sketch of the fabulous zatanna on a piece of cardboard backing.
perhaps not the most harmonious pairing, but so it goes.

i'm hopping on a train bound for new jersey/new york environs in an hour or two. on the one hand, i am tired and traveling tired is always a bummer. on the other hand, comics. :D |

who would you rather be entangled in some variety of hypothetical romantic interest with, harvey dent before his two-face transition, or "bruce wayne" at any point after his world wanderings with the catch that you'd never know about the other side of the proverbial coin?
i'm honestly stuck on which option would be the more perfect setup for a psychological horror movie.
 speaking of setups, this one is coming weeks in advance but i'll be attending the new york comic-con next month. i'm going with my pal lex in costume (UH HUH THASSRIGHT), so we should be easy to spot if you want to say hi! just look for the lanky blonde and sturdy half asian in various states of ridiculousness. more on that later.
you may remember my adventures at last year's nycc. i have the option of using the professionals' entrance this time around, but i'll probably wait in the regular line with lex in case any more potential hilarity gold decides to spice up my life. maybe i'll run into my little chum again. fingers crossed, guys!
edit: GOTHAM KNIGHT! the theme music is so swoopy and dire. i adore it so. |

hey, know what's hilarious? stuff i wrote when i was eighteen! here are two short pieces of literary fanfiction for an english class back during my senior year of high school. the assignment was to choose a minor character from each book we read that semester and then produce a piece of creative writing fleshing out some part of that character's backstory.
if these stories seem nonsensical, it's probably because they make no sense. i invented everything aside from one or two lines of dialogue, the characters' names, and their "canonical" actions of being blown up and sitting in a car, respectively. if i just dropped a spoiler on you by mentioning those "being blown up" and "sitting in a car" bits, thus destroying any future enjoyment of woolf or faulkner, i'm sorry! kinda!

character: richarddick john grayson (nightwing). rating/warnings: gravitas, grace, bullet scars and ballet flats. media: pen, ink, & ps7 artist's note: the opening lines of my visual treatise on l'esprit du dick.

another new illustration for an article in the las vegas weekly, this time about a porn convention! taking that into consideration, i think i managed to keep the cheesecake to a fairly sedate level, but i will warn you; never before in my art career have i drawn melons so large. not that these ones are any larger than what you'd see on your average female background character in what we call "ze comics," but still.
to counteract the extremely sparkly sordidness of the aforementioned, i'm also including a sketch of everybody's favorite son of a serial-womanizer-for-justice hot multiracial vigilante buddhist monk, connor hawke. i drew him for the lovely rubynye on the occasion of her never have i ever birthday meme.


( so a porn star and a buddhist monk walk into this lj-cut... ) |
