Doodle dump!
A whole bunch of DC Prep doodles. Because I'm a GEEK. (For those who don't know what DC Prep is, basically it's a really silly AU where Bruce Wayne, Ted Kord, Ollie Queen, and Lex Luthor were all roommates at prep school together. A boatload of other characters show up. It's really, really silly and includes a keytar. Because keytars make everything awesome.)




I finally got Sue's design to come out PURDY. YAY! The two headshots in the upper lefthand corner are "Enh," but the one all the way on the left? With the skirt and the sassy pose? It's Sue! *so much love* The one smack dab in the middle is Sue at her debutante ball - please to be ignoring the curls without the heavy inking, I decided I didn't like them. Also I still can't come up with a design I like for her dress. My brain keeps wanting to stick her in that monstrosity Debbie Reynolds wears at the end of Singin' in the Rain. (Seriously, gorgeous costumes throughout and they wrap her in cotton candy for the finale? What gives?)

Let's see, what else? That's a Bruce headshot on the right - still working on his stupid emo hair. Oh, Brucie. An early Ralph design down at the bottom (gettin' SMOOCHED!), and my cheapass film notes scattered around (please, my professor's senile and my TA doesn't give a damn. I'm not gonna take good notes).



I am not obsessed with drawing DC Prep!Booster. Why do you say such things? In case you didn't catch the five billion sketches from the last post, Booster is two years younger than the main cast of DC Prep, and on a football scholarship. Guess who gets to tutor him to help him keep his scholarship? If you guessed anyone but Ted, you clearly don't know me very well.

Anyway. Fifteen-year-old Booster is freckled AND dimpled. It's a pretty intense combination. If I attended the sister school (the girls (well, some of them) don't go to DC Prep itself, which is an all-boys school, they attend the nearby affiliated all-girls school), I would've been hopelessly in love with him. I am a little bit even now. What?



"Tutoring." RIGHT. I imagine this happens a lot. "That's a...great...trigonometric function...you just, um...applied, Booster...gosh, you smell good."



At one point Booster wears spanky pants and go-go boots and plays the tambourine. HAVE I PIQUED YOUR INTEREST YET?



Here we have some of our supporting cast. That's Carol Ferris at the top there - like Sue, she goes to the girls' school and has known our four main boys since they were all four years old. I'm still working on her design (as evidenced by its craptasticness).

Melody Case and Trixie Collins (middle row, first and second respectively) also attend the girls' school, although they've only been going since middle school or thereabouts. They're also half sisters in this, because, you know...they're identical (oh, comics). Melody is a senior, like Ted, and is turned on by his geeky ways, which makes him flattered and nervous, which makes him act even GEEKIER, so it's an interesting cycle. Trixie's a sophomore, like Booster, and is hopelessly in love with him. Oh, Trix, I feel your pain.

Michelle shows up too! In a completely gratuitous plotline! (Oh, hell, who am I kidding, the whole damn CONCEPT is completely gratuitous.) Her design is identical to Booster, except GIRL. It creeps me the fuck out. So to prove to myself that I could draw something even CREEPIER, I doodled a little, um, "Theodora" down in the middle there. Oh, girl!Ted. You are...no. Just no.

Annnnnd that's Mercy Graves over on the bottom left there. She's Lex's family's chaffeur's daughter (did you get all that?) and one of the few people he'd consider a "friend," in his charmingly sociopathic way. Or, rather, he's promised her that he won't kill or enslave her when he takes over the world. That Lex, what a sweetheart. Mercy is rarely seen, since she lives in Smallville at Luthor Mansion or Castle or Fortress or whatever; she and Lex do write a lot of letters to each other, and she gives him the dirt on Clark and Lana and Pete and the gang. She basically ignores his bullshit, because she's awesome, and also she can beat him up. Or tell his father about his crush on "that Kent boy." WHAT?



Really, though, the two main girls in this are Sue and Dinah. This is Dinah, up there on the left. She doesn't go to the sister school; Ollie meets her when he's buying flowers for another girl in her mother's store, and is instantly smitten. Dinah...not so much. However, she does get incorporated into the gang pretty quickly, mostly so she can sass people. Yay Dinah!

Also included are some doodles for the Halloween story. "I think I'm going to be Robin Hood this year." "Ollie, you're Robin Hood EVERY year." Plus, the Scarlet Pimpernel! Because Bruce is a drama queen.



Dinah in formal wear, playing around with the short black hair that she should TECHNICALLY have. I like the long blonde hair better, though. There will be some wacky mistaken identity shenanigans revolving around the hair, though. I'm not COMPLETELY stupid.



Ralph! So goofy looking! I don't know why he's leaning like that - I think my notebook was at a weird angle. Ralph vies with Booster for Cutest Thing Ever in this, although that's less a dimples-and-freckles-and-cowlicks thing and more a Woobie In Love thing.



I did say the boys (at least, the central four) have known each other forever, right? Left to right we've got a smug Booster, Ted in his schoolboy shorts, a couple of group pictures (all you need to know about the first is that Lex is pinching a screaming Bruce. Because Lex is a JERK), and a Bruce hair experiment. In that second group picture, Ted is comforting Bruce, because Ted was a sweet (if somewhat hyperactive and noisy) child, and Bruce was (well, is) the emo-est thing under the sun. Ollie is hugging Lex, because he wubs his Lexie. Lex is plotting ways to kill Ollie. Same old, same old.



Sue! In a sailor suit-dress-thingy! And another thing I imagine happened fairly frequently, because Carol, who has always been quite close to Ted, wasn't really clear on the "not punching other children in the face, even when they're being incredibly obnoxious" thing as a child, and Ted, for his part, wasn't (well, isn't) really clear on the whole "not being incredibly obnoxious" thing. You can't really tell, but he has a black eye. Also, KNEESOCKS.



Hartley! He's Ted's geeky friend! They have a science club together. They're the only members. Also, I gave him a beard, mostly to annoy Ollie, who can't grow a proper one.

Let's see, what else is on this page? Well, mostly cropped out of the left is a list of plot ideas I have so far. It's insanely long. (You can probably still read "Crisis of Ted --> STUPID BOYS," which happens to be my favorite.) Top right is a rain-drenched and bedraggled Ted, which is part of a post-graduation epilogue; so is the emo Booster in an umbrella hat beneath him. Then we've got Ted being adorable, another attempt at a debutante ballgown for Sue, and Ollie serenading Dinah with his guitar skillz. (And that is definitely not a non-DC Prep-related naked handcuffed Booster on the bottom left, so I don't know why you're even suggesting it. Hmmph!)



Not DC Prep, obviously, because they're in costume, but AW! Snuggling!
