Did two more alternate designs, one for Harley Quinn and one for Wonder Woman. Essentially, I really love these ladies, but I don’t think I’d feel comfortable in the outfits they wear. That’s not to say I don’t like them, I just can’t see myself ever wearing them. So I did alternate takes on them, in styles that I would wear that still hold some semblance to the character :)
Randomly, these are a lot of fun to do so I might do more. These definitely have the potential to be cosplayed someday <3
SUPER SAILORS GO!
Oh my god I love this so much. THIS IS FANTASTIC. YES. Their outfits match their personalities too and I love the variations between them and just YES!!
Awesome! This makes me so happy!
While Warner Bros. tried to figure out Wonder Woman’s trickiness others are taking on the challenge of giving Wonder Woman fans a taste of what a film would look like. The lastest is from production company Rainfall.TV who will debut a short concept film starring the Amazon on September 30.
The company has release a look at the Amazons in the movie in preparation for the film’s debut:
The film stars Rileah Vanderbilt (below) and is directed by Sam Balcomb.
More pictures under the cut.
What?
WHAT?!
Oh god oh god oh god.
Please let this be good.
Progress pictures and finished product for a clock I made for a local comic book convention coming to Minneapolis in October. We got a table for Fallcon 2013 at the State Fair Grounds which means that it’s time to make some comic book themed stuff. First up is an idea I had for a Dick Grayson clock.
Before I was going to just have their faces like this (Robin and Nightwing) with like a dark edge, then I thought, “Hmmmmm… let’s be a bit more tragic.” So I painted the clock edge colorful, like the circus. Then I added “Flying Graysons” to the glass. At first it was completely filled in, but I wanted to fix the yellow so it was more even, so I started to wipe it off to try again after doing the red outline.
And then… this happened because I didn’t scrub hard enough with the glass cleaner.
I was going to keep wiping until it came off then my wifey was like, “No. Keep it like that.”
So I did.
And ta da, you have yourself an angsty Dick Grayson clock ^^

DC Comics’ Amanda Waller’s various incarnations over the years. Notice a trend?
UGH.
I am SO PISSED THE FUCK OFF
The Wall is a FAT DARK SKINNED NAPPY HAIRED WOMAN
FUCK THIS SKINNY LIGHT SKINNED GIRL THEY GOT IN THIS SHOW
SHE IS NOT THE WALL
You already know fat dark skinned woman can not have any place on tv if she is not shuckin, jivin, being a mammy, or someone’s sassy friend
OK yeah this sucks :( That’s a huge transformation. At the same time, don’t bash the light skinned skinny girl, she didn’t do anything, the show did. It’s more like “fuck the show” not “fuck that light skinned girl.”
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?
This February, DC Comics made the thrilling announcement that comics superhero Batwoman had proposed to her girlfriend, Maggie Sawyer, and it was presumed they would marry in a forthcoming issue. But writers J.H. Williams and W. Haden Black have reportedly left the comic book, and they say it’s because of an editorial decision that would have banned a same-sex wedding.
Here’s a statement they released:
Unfortunately, in recent months, DC has asked us to alter or completely discard many long-standing storylines in ways that we feel compromise the character and the series. We were told to ditch plans for Killer Croc’s origins; forced to drastically alter the original ending of our current arc, which would have defined Batwoman’s heroic future in bold new ways; and, most crushingly, prohibited from ever showing Kate and Maggie actually getting married. All of these editorial decisions came at the last minute, and always after a year or more of planning and plotting on our end.
We’ve always understood that, as much as we love the character, Batwoman ultimately belongs to DC. However, the eleventh-hour nature of these changes left us frustrated and angry — because they prevent us from telling the best stories we can. So, after a lot of soul-searching, we’ve decided to leave the book after Issue 26.
We’re both heartbroken over leaving, but we feel strongly that you all deserve stories that push the character and the series forward. We can’t reliably do our best work if our plans are scrapped at the last minute, so we’re stepping aside. We are committed to bringing our run to a satisfying conclusion and we think that Issue 26 will leave a lasting impression.Way to stand up for what’s right, friends. Your work will be missed.
:(
Smallville, Arrow and ?
Enough of this bullshit. Wonder Woman needs a goddamn show or a goddamn awesome movie. I bet it’s not getting the go ahead because it would have a female lead. :/
The Flash? What next? Aquaman gets his own show?
Granted, I really like the Flash, and would love a Green Lantern redo, but I would kill for a good Wonder Woman series or movie or anything. I don’t think it’s because she’s a female lead, or well… maybe it is, because we ALL know Wonder Woman, so they know they have to do GOOD with her. She’s got a big, loyal fan base I imagine, of both women and men. She’s up there with Superman and Batman, she stands tall with them for the likes of Justice League, so they know that they can’t screw her up.
Which makes the wait so frustrating, because after Superman and Batman the next hero, to me, would be Wonder Woman. But we’ve had seven Batman movies (original four and new three), six Superman movies (original four, returns, and Man of Steel), a Green Lantern movie, a series for Green Arrow, a bunch of animated DC movies (which Wonder Woman got one and it was AWESOME) … when is it her turn? I’m sure Man of Steel 2 will be out before Wonder Women ever will and that makes me sad. At this point I’m thinking we won’t even see her until a Justice League movie >.<
