So one of the things I plan on doing for my new book series is having little comic pages in the book :) They’ll be little illustrated snippets from select scenes in the book.
Enjoy! And don’t forget, you can follow the progress here <3 <3 <3
Preview snippet of a new project I’m working on that I kept forgetting to post about on my Tumblr. THE MISADVENTURES OF BLACK MAGICAL GIRLS!
Also known as “magnifiqueNOIR” thanks to a good friend helping me come up with a name.
So about a month ago I randomly did some woodburnings of some girls because I didn’t want to work on anything else. Overtime, those girls gained personalities, and back stories, and a plot has been brewing that I’ve been actively pursing so I can turn this into a book series of sorts with art, little comics, and things like that. So far I have three books planned that explore these girls, their relationships, and what it means to be magical.
I’ll post more things as they develop, but for now, I hope everyone enjoys what I have so far :)
ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN meets ALL NEW GHOST RIDER (one shot)
MILES MORALES MEETS ROBBIE REYES! These are for a one shot I’m doing that involves the All New Ghost Rider crossing paths with the Ultimate Spider-Man. The story takes place 7 years in the future for both characters. I’m doing this for fun. Keep your eyes open for more! :) I’m writing and drawing it. Props to Felipe Smith and Brian Michael Bendis for creating such great characters. I hope to do them justice in my one shot. I don’t have a scanner right now…but when I get one I promise I’ll scan these. :)
So I want this to spread around like wildfire, because it needs to. Remember that ridiculously amazing Ultimate Spider-man cosplayer we all reblogged? This is him. Reblog this as much as you reblogged that cosplay.
do me a favor and don’t look at the last panel. do me a favor and don’t look at any panel. I am going to eat
THIS IS AN AMAZING IDEA FOR A PRINCESS OMG
holy fuck
Well…that escalated quickly.
I WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT
but it turned out to be everything i wanted
Wow.
*slow clap*
DC Comics has been having a bad week. Yesterday, two members of the Batwoman editorial team quit after their publishers refused to allow Batwoman (who is a lesbian character) to marry her partner. And now the comic company has provoked even more outrage by hosting a contest in which they readers to draw Harley Quinn, a popular villain, preparing to commit suicide. Naked.
All right. Time for a rant thing. The person I got the link from, someone commented on it with something like, “I don’t see why people are so up in arms about fictional characters when there’s more important things to worry about.”
Just because someone has an opinion about a fictional character doesn’t mean they’re suddenly forgetting about the struggles of the world. Just because I have an opinion about what DC, or Marvel, or Ubisoft, or FUNimation, or whatever other geeky (or non geeky) company does doesn’t mean that, suddenly, I’m ignoring what’s going on in the “real world.” The geek community is part of my life, so when something happens that I have an opinion about, I’m going to say something.
If people are upset (or not upset and defending) something in the community, that doesn’t mean they’re doing something wrong. You can’t want the geek community to matter then say, “Stop getting in a tizzy over fictional characters.” And, personally, I don’t always want to think about the problems of the “real world.” The geek community is my escape, my hobby, and honestly it’s becoming my career what with writing and all. Is it wrong to get defensive over things that happened here? No. Can you honestly say that you never watched something, or read something, or played something, and never reacted to it? It’s a thing that happens sometimes, and it’s fine.
Let’s be honest. Companies like DC have been in our lives for a very, very long time. So when they do something you don’t agree with, you feel kinda betrayed. “Batwoman isn’t getting married to her girlfriend,” well… why not? They’re together and in love, why not? Marvel did it. Marvel had a gay wedding. And we all know Batwoman is a lesbian with a girlfriend she loves, so why not? Why not take that step? It makes you question things, and wonder about the company. Do I, as a lesbian, feel upset that the company I’ve been into for years won’t let two girls get married? Well… yes! It’s a way they can show support, and apparently, two of their longtime writers saw that and left over it.
Same with this Harley Quinn thing. Is Harley bonkers? Sure, absolutely. And her staying with the Joker is insane. Is suicide the answer? Honestly, if she did it, I don’t think we’d be too surprised. She’s been through hell. It would suck if she did it, yes, but the Joker is so terrible and abusive (I still remember watching the animated series and how he shoved her out a window!), so if you told me that you wrote a story where she said, I’m done, I’d be sad but… I’d get it. But why naked? Why is that a requirement in this contest? And for goodness sake, why are you holding a contest when it’s National Suicide Prevention Week this coming week? When a company I love does something like that, it makes me question their intentions, you know? It’s beyond getting upset over a fictional character. Now I’m wondering, “DC what are you doing?” And that’s to be expected when you’re a fan of something.
There’s a difference between being upset over a fictional character because, oh, they hook up with a character you don’t like, for vain reasons. “Oh no I don’t want Heero to end up with Relena because I like him with Duo because I like yaoi.” There is a huge difference between that and, “Why does your suicidal girl have to be naked in this contest,” and, “Why can’t Batwoman get married to her canon girlfriend?” That’s what people are upset about. Stuff like that hits home. Stuff like that is personal. Stuff like that is hurtful, fictional or not. We’re not getting “up in arms” over something trivial. Having a suicide drawing contest when National Suicide Prevention Week is coming up is in terrible taste. Having your lesbian heroine NOT get married to her girlfriend is a slap in the face, ESPECIALLY when Marvel was like, “Hey look gay marriage let’s do it.” So you can’t even say that no comic book company has done it before, because they have, and they did it proudly. So what’s stopping you?
THAT is what fans get upset about.
It’s the same with “Ender’s Game.” Is that more credible because it’s not a comic or cartoon? Because there’s a BUNCH of people not going to the movie because the author is terribly homophobic. So, to not support HIM, they’re not going to the movie. Are we getting too “up in arms” over that? This man flat out does not like gay people, so when we say, “We’re not going to the movie,” it’s met with, “oh yeah completely understandable.” So is getting upset over Batwoman not getting married or naked suicidal Harley less credible? These women are created by real people, who made these decisions. So… why do fans get bashed for being emotional over it?
