Watercolor

I often combine ink and watercolor. You know how much I love ink, but watercolor is really growing on me…

Look! He’s hanging all his armor on the line! Yes, I know they wouldn’t hang on twine. It’s magic, hush.

Look at the texture of that paper! Sure, this watercolor paper isn’t that good… but I love it when paper has a tooth that just grabs the paint. It makes me happy:)

The way you can use watercolor to show light and shine is fascinating. I think I could practice a hundred years and still not figure out everything that I can do with it! Here are twins. And a snake. And green fire.

This was inspired my a picture on pinterest. The wavy background, I believe, isn’t messed up even once! Perfectionism DOES pay off!!!

An early Poison Ivy redesign, except way more mystical and like a fantasy druid or something! I like the energy and floaty-ness of this piece.

DC Women Redesign

People keep telling me that character design is important. And, since I’ve left Marvel and frankly, never looked back, here are some actually interesting heroes and villains, redesigned by yours truly*

Process: Wow, Gal is pretty:) Sports outfit, well-read, match the color scheme, make her 75% more muscular. I wanted Diana to look like she could actually throw a man across a football field. (Her face is based on Gal Gadot’s)

TBH Catwoman my least favorite one… I wanted her to be lean and look toned, but not muscular, like a pilates instructor. I LOVE her little cat handbag though:) (Face based on Halle Berry)

Supergirl! I love this one:) She has almost the exact color scheme of Diana, but upside down. Still, I wanted her to be strong as well, but super flexible and chill to the bone. Her hair is AMAZING. (Face based on Lupita Nyong’o)

And Harley Quinn. Wearing Crocs. They should have about 50 more charms on them. Yes, she IS playing Animal Crossing. I tried to combine her old outfit with her new one, with a little bit of scene kid thrown in. Thus, the Scrunchies on her wrists like her old cuffs, her hair like her Birds of Prey hair, and her belt like a checkerboard. (Face based on MAagot Robbie)

* I haven’t ever consumed DC media besides Wonder Woman, to my delight, and The Dark Knight, against my will.
