your art is soooooo pretty!!!!! I’ve been loving your redesigns, they’re very creative! A while ago on your twitter you had these lovely pieces of simon baz and jessica cruz that you also combined them into one picture, would it be possible for you to post them here too? They’re so lovely!!! If not, that’s cool, keep up the good work!

Some old Green Lanterns I've drawn

Happy Birthday to Superman! (made him a east asian, don’t tell anyone)

Ultimate Spider-Woman! used this piece to really practice inking in earnest as well as some coloring techniques

A 2024 take on my Dick Grayson Batman design from 2011

Also practicing my comic production skills! Lettering is hard.

I think the feathered bat thing is a cool idea but doesn't translate super well? At some point it's like, well does a bat have feathers? it doesn't.

Also the reverse direction scallops I had to abandon. I can't harness all the ideas that 2011 me had

2024 vs 2013

I was pushing myself so hard back then, wonder where I'd be if I didn't take so many breaks from drawing

20. Jay Garrick

The fun part of this was taking the first "football" design and turning it into a narrative arc through costuming, ending with something very traditional

a fun part is trying to create elements that Barry might eventually borrow for HIS costume

“These people stole your future… …do you want it back?”

19. Aquaman

orange ocean guy means i take a big dose of shrimp-spiration

also trade off for annoying costume to color would be bioluminescence that makes sure the costume’s always lit the same or something

color palette inspo from jellyfish too!

18. Magneto

struggled with this design, but once I narrowed the scope to an Older Mags, I was able to narrow it down to a more regal, comfortable look.

Something warm, along with a cane and some hidden orthopedics in his boots.

17. Power Girl

went for a very sporty track and field-y confident and fun look!

16. Black Adam/Teth Adam

went for a very basic look of an egyptian fashioned god-like human-- the goal was to create a proto-Shazam/Superman who ultimately gets corrupted into Black Adam

The permanent soot covered skin is a pull from Kratos

15. Mary Marvel

went for a more greek/roman inspired vibe, looked at a lot of Jen Zee’s Hades work
