Notes/comments: Character roulette drawbles, i.e. I made a secret list of 15 characters, then people gave me prompts with the numbers, and I did a drawble.

Characters/Pairings: Nightwing (Dick Grayson)
Media: acrylic paint
Notes/comments: I tried the scratching thing again, and unlike in my previous try with Robin I used this time only acrylics rather than supposedly water resistant ink. It was slightly harder to scratch (it sometimes sort of chipped?), but at least it didn’t dissolve when I painted over it. Additionally this time I remembered to scan the lineart and b/w scratched only inbetween stage in case something went wrong again after all. But I had no mishaps this time. \o/

Characters/Pairings: Robin III (Tim Drake)
Media: mixed media (ink, acrylic paint, chalk pastels, razor blade)
Notes/comments: This turned out rather more mixed media than planned, due to me trying to salvage the image from the completely blotched state that was the result of a supposedly water-resistant ink being quite soluble in specific circumstances after all. So it looks rather different from what I imaged, and not nearly as nice as a promising pre-blotch inbetween state did (which I unfortunately didn’t scan), that had more texture and scratched gradients, but the black ink dissolved when I tried adding the color highlights and thus the ink ran into them. Also as usual the scanner didn’t actually scan the colors as they are on the paper, though I tried to correct it as best as I could to compensate for that piece of color blind crap. Um, well, I usually try not talk this much about everything that went wrong (it doesn’t give a good audience bias) but this was a very frustrating evening, and I can’t help the venting.

Fandom/Genre: Sandman
Characters/Pairings: Morpheus, Matthew
Media: pencil, fine liner pen with waterproof indian ink, acrylic paint
Notes/comments: This was my Yuletart gift for Rasetsunyo. Besides Morpheus and Matthew, Rasetsunyo mentioned in the requests (for another, non-Sandman fandom) the Egyptian pantheon, and also liking crossovers. This isn’t really a crossover with the other fandom, but I thought it would still work to mix Morpheus into in one of the classic scenes of the Egyptian afterlife, i.e. the Weighing of the Heart. So there’s Anubis weighing the heart against the feather of truth, Thoth keeping the records, and Ammit (the crocodile/lion/hippo mix demon) waiting to eat the unworthy hearts. I decided to show the waiting soul as Ba with a bird body and human head. I’m not sure why Morpheus is there, but I figured that the Egyptians connected their afterlife underworld to the night and to the journey of the sun might be good enough for this Endless to show up there.

Characters/Pairings: Matthew the raven
Media: pencil sketch
Notes/comments: Even though I thought of Matthew while drawing this, it could be just as well some random raven — I mean, I didn’t include anything Dreaming specific. Unfortunately it also isn’t a very good sketch: something about the proportions isn’t right between the body and the head, I think, but it is the first time I’ve tried drawing a raven that I recall, so taking that into account it did turn out *that* bad. I also tried to figure out flying ones, so there are a couple smaller odd birds that may or may not look like ravens too. Anyway, I have very little shame when it comes to posting slightly misshapen results. (No drawer-art here… *g*)
Fandom: DC Comics (Green Arrow)
Characters/Pairings: Roy Harper (back when he was Speedy)
Media: Wacom tablet in GIMP
Notes/comments: This took me a really long time, and I don’t just mean that I first had the idea for this in 2006. I have no idea what I am doing wrong that digital coloring takes me so long, isn’t it supposed to be efficient? I suppose it’s one of the pitfalls of being self-taught. Anyway, it’s Roy during the famous heroin addict story line. As always, feedback is very welcome.

Genre/Fandom: drawing exercise / DC Comics
Characters/Pairings: Nightwing (Dick Grayson)
Media: pencil drawing, inked with a Wacom tablet in GIMP
Notes/comments: This silhouette practice is sort of fanart. I had Nightwing jumping around in Gotham in mind (or maybe Blüdhaven, what with the lack of gargoyles). I did the pencil drawing and then inked it in GIMP and added a fire escape and roof background that’s vaguely based on a simplified, inked version of two combined photos.

Genre/Fandom: DC Comics (Green Arrow)
Characters/Pairings: Connor Hawke (Green Arrow II)
Media: pencil drawing, inked and colored with a Wacom tablet in GIMP
Notes/comments: It was kind of hard to decide how to draw him, because there doesn’t seem to be any real consensus on how “non-European” he looks. So let me know whether my version matches your mental image of him.

Characters/Pairings: Tim Drake (Robin III)/Stephanie Brown (Spoiler)
Media: Wacom tablet and GIMP
Notes/comments: Just a doodle I’ve drawn for a DCU kissing meme, thus it’s smaller/of a lower resolution than my regular fanart.

Fandom: DC Comics
Characters/Pairings: Tim Drake (Robin III)/Kon-El (Superboy), vaguely during their Young Justice era
Media: Wacom tablet and GIMP
Notes/comments: I tried drawing completely with a tablet for the first time, which turned out to be much harder than expected, so for practice I started drawing with a photo as guide for posture and then added costumes, changing hair and faces a bit and such, rather than sketching directly without tracing anything. The underlying photo base I started from was this gay wallpaper.
Fandom: DC Comics
Characters/Pairings: Buddy Baker (as Animal Man) & Tofurky
Media: Pencil, inked, colored and combined with bits from an image of Tofurky packaging in GIMP
Notes: I intended to post this for Christmas, but I didn’t finish in time. Before the holidays I was frustrated by the lack of convenient, pre-made veggie roasts in the stores here, which made me think of Tofurky and that Buddy Baker might earn some money from advertising in the DCU, what with him having worked in show biz, and that Tofurky as a brand certainly fits with his image. Which led me to combining the two.

Fandom: DC Comics / Muppets
Characters/Pairings: Gonzo (as Nightwing)
Media: Pencil sketch, some quick and sloppy coloring in GIMP
Notes: This is the fourth and last (so far) of my Muppets/DCU fusion doodles. In case you’re wondering why I cast Gonzo as Dick Grayson/Nightwing, there are several ways they resonate with each other (at least in my strange brain): Gonzo’s history as a daredevil performance artist (granted his colors aren’t the same as the Flying Graysons’, but still) and as stuntman, Gonzo’s romance life, and that in a world withouth Kermit Gonzo would have been become “a depressed street performer that plays the guitar for a dancing brick”, and considering I cast Kermit as Superman, I find the parallels fitting. (I don’t know if Dick would have become a depressed circus artist instead of staying a superhero without Clark exactly, but he wouldn’t have been Nightwing as we know him.
Fandom: DC Comics / Muppets
Characters/Pairings: Fozzie Bear (as Jimmy Olson)
Media: Pencil sketch, some quick and sloppy coloring in GIMP
Notes: This is the third of my Muppets/DCU fusion doodles. Again, it was inspired by Betty and Te.

Characters/Pairings: Kermit the Frog (as Superman) and Miss Piggy (as Lois Lane)
Media: Pencil sketch, some quick and sloppy coloring in GIMP
Notes: Betty discussed a story that somehow featured Clark identifying with Kermit the Frog, and I read that post (not the story though) and chatted a bit with Te about DC/Muppets fusion possibilities in the comments, and as a result I had the image of Superman!Kermit and Lois!Piggy stuck in my head.

Fandom: DC Comics (Batverse)
Characters/Pairings: Tim Drake (as Robin III)
Media: Pencil, inked and colored in GIMP
Notes: Te asked for “creaky, leathery, heavily-armored Robins” similar to Bermejo’s art in the LJ community Illustrate Me. Unfortunately I can’t draw well enough to emulate the style, but I did my best to make Robin’s costume look heavy and armored rather than spray-painted on.
