My (poorly made) Young Justice AU

I haven't been active due to personal reasons, BUT I WANT TO BE. So I wanna share my YJ au, where it's kinda apocalyptic, and what I think is the future Bart was trying to prevent. It's mostly about Gotham and like Batman BUT I WANT TO ADD MORE TO IT.

So let me introduce Gotham:

Their individual stuff:

What I referenced (credit to u/batmansquarepants on redit):

And for funsies here is the initial design sketch before I locked in:

I have like short comics sketched out that I want to post but my art style is more inconsistent nowadays. Fair warning: a lot of main characters are either captured or... dead (sorry) and every character can be captured or... killed. However, characters can be rescued (idk I'm very disorganized).

Take this doodle as an apology for not being active, I literally have to take another exam in a couple of hours and I'm lowkey panicking

I wanna combine comics Klarion with YJ Klarion but that requires brain power I DO NOT have at the moment

OKAY I DID THIS AFTER MY EXAM, I think I did okay on it. OBVIOUSLY Klarion looks different in some drawings because a) I rushed to make this b) still in my art style crisis. But I enjoyed making this. I got this idea after reading the comics and I wanted to include Zell. I like to think she's his first loooove. His teenage heartbreak if you will.

PLS AVOID THE VIDEO IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO SEE IMPLIED VIOLENCE AND FLASHING LIGHTS. None of it is real and its all fake but I do not blame you if you decide to skip it.

Imagine this:

Tragic siblings but make it Nabu and Klarion. HEAR ME OUT.

It takes the basic dynamic of "for their to be good there needs to be evil" and makes it into "for their to be order, there must be chaos".

They've had a sibling rivalry since the beginning of time. Fighting to overpower one another when in reality they were destined to be the Ying and Yang of their mortal realm.

It even pushes the plot in Young Justice when Child makes an appearance and competes to be the new lord of chaos of earth. Because it throws off and aims to destroy this centuries old debacle (its 2 am idk what else to call it).

If anyone has siblings then you might be familiar with the concept of of Sibling A is the one person who can bully Sibling B.

But why have their ancient entities decided to involve themselves into human issues? Well because in the comics Nabu "woke up" back in the 1942(?) comic run and assumed the heroic title of Dr. Fate. Order was directly influencing human lives therefore, chaos had to directly influence human lives. They unfortunately complete each other in the way siblings reflect one another.

This is honesty a 2 am rambling to share my hc on some DC characters. I just don't want to take my exam tmr. But trust once I'm free from my academic endeavors I will do proper research AND more fanart.

I HATED the brown hair I gave him last art, I think I'm still stuck trying to do some sort of realism. So FUCK IT black hair and fun colors because it feels FUN

I saw the comic panel where t explains the astronomy of it and I just wanted to draw mercury punching him in the face. This is ref I used:
