I write SFF and like far too many popcorn properties for my own good. Recently I’ve also been trying my hand at the occasional doodle. Side hustling for survival. Please take your AI elsewhere. He/they.

It’s entirely possible I’m mistaken, but I’m under the impression Plastic Man’s costume is actually him with his shape change-y powers applied. In which case, he has no need to be practical with it. So, plastic glam? #plasticman #dccomics #characterdesign
Digital color illustration of DC’s Plastic Man. Here he wears a zoot suit in his traditional red, black, and yellow palette. One hand has turned into a large, cartoon-style mallet, the other arm droops downward in a comically-failed arm flex. Closer crop of my Plastic Man design

Mr. Freeze: had an idea for super-cold coils, then a puffer vest as a good way to make them wearable. The puffer wear lead me down a kind of winter sports aesthetic.

Also: egregious glow light effects for sinister underlighting. #dccomics #mrfreeze #characterdesign #digitalart
Digital color illustration of a Mr Freeze design: a burly, bald, bearded person stands on jagged ice. Their skin is a pale blue. They wear a puffer vest, leather pants, and boots reminiscent of ski boots. Glowing blue coils snake down their arms and connect to their gloves. Blue glows emanate from the individual strips of puffer coat and straps on boots. Their eyes glow red behind goggles. A touch of snow blows around them.

Whatever you think about the movie, I think that jellyfish gown was amazing, so of course I gave Mera some jellyfish accessories. Still figuring out how to / how I want to render water, but I think it’s a fun first attempt. #dccomics #mera #characterdesign
Digital color illustration of Mera: a white woman with long red hair. She wears a green bodysuit with shimmering iridescent scales. Water spirals upward around her in defiance of physics, ending with a water-trident shape near her upraised right hand. Closer crop of the original Mera illo from first attachment.

Eerie colored fire and spiders for spooky season! Both are available on my Redbubble:

Green fire: tinyurl.com/5n7mzp4c

Blue fire: tinyurl.com/mwvyd6sd
Digital color art of a thickset figure who wears adventuring gear. They appear to be made of eerie green fire, and hold one firey hand aloft to inspect a skull hanging in spider webs. Behind them, a purple and cyan spider hangs from its own webline. Digital color art of a thickset figure who wears adventuring gear.

Hawkman: rocking tight pants, tall boots, bird cowl, and a four point chest harness as Conservative foil to a tech billionaire who thinks the important part of Robin Hood is arrow tricks rather than the evils of hoarded wealth. 😅

Comics are wild and I love it. #dccomics #hawkman #characterdesign
Digital color art of my DC Hawkman design. He’s a white, winged man with light brown hair and beard. He wears tall black boots; dark green pants; and a black, four-point chest harness with his hawk’s head medallion in silver at the center. He sit and smirks casually, a silver hawk helmet on one knee and a silver mace held dangling in his opposite hand. The background is a field of hawk silhouettes in shades of red.

Sometimes you see a Black Adam design prompt, but you free associate to that cool jacket Dwayne Johnson wore in a silly Xmas movie, so you mash them up into a thing. #dccomics #blackadam #characterdesign
Digital color art of Black Adam, a DC Comics character from Egypt. Here he is bald, broad-shouldered and muscled, wearing a sleeveless leather jacket, trousers, gloves, and heavy boots mostly in black with gold accents. Lighting energy crackles from one hand and across the gold triangular flap in the center of his jacket. Black Adam design without the lightning effects. Closer crop / zoom of the full Black Adam design.

September accountability post. #digitart #characterart #queerart #fanart #ocsky
Collage of my September art posts. Clockwise from top left: line art of the Patchwork Girl of Oz, lineart of the eyeball alien from Alien: Earth taking the place of the globe on an Emmy-type award, a “draw this in your style” entry of a buzzcut, blousy-pants graphitti artist in greens and blues with pink and blue paint, and shirtless Maxwell Gotch from Dimension 20’s Cloudward, Ho offering. In the center is Romy, a tall Black woman in tactical armor holding a sword. Her eyes glow with a rainbow light effect.

Remember my Ianto redraw? Romy is the leader of Ianto’s expedition from that same story. More fun with trying to render glow effects and play with textures. #oc #scifiart #fantasyart #queerart #characterart
Digital color art of Romy, the leader of Ianto’s little band of misfits. She is a tall, athletic Black woman wearing tactical armor. She drapes a sword across her shoulders. Her eyes glow with a rainbow energy. Closer crop of Romy for a potentially better view of the glow from her eyes. Romy again this time “powered down,” without the energy glowing in her eyes.

Found another “draw this in your style.” Much fun was had trying to give it a chaotic technicolor vibe. Apologies to the art gods for my rampant abuse of pattern and texture brushes, but also not sorry. #characterart #digitalart #queerartist
Digital color art of DTIYS challenge character Shade (by @jacobschade on insta), a lanky white person with buzzcut. He wears baggy pants, chunky shoes, tight shirt, and headphones, all in color blocks of blue and green. He holds a spray paint can with stylus-shaped internal mechanism. Pink and blue paint trails come from his shoes and the can. He holds himself up on a railing. In the background is a billboard with graphitti in the same colors. The letters visible are “tect he lls”

Minor update: finally added our “puppet halfling” to the Redbubble if anyone’s looking to have some more of this li’l dude:

That eyeball is the MVP and I shan’t be dissuaded. #alienearth #fanart #digitalart #scifiart
Digital sketch of the eyeball alien from Alien: Earth, held by an Emmy statue instead of the usual globe. One of the tentacles has cracked through the “eye socket” of the statuette.

I just started watching Cloudward, Ho where there is in-episode art of Max Gotch shirtless and oiled up. This means multiple Dropout folks fielded drafts and approved checks, which is amazing and of course I doodled a version. #dimension20fanart #characterart #fanart #cloudwardho
Digital color art of Maxwell Gotch, a Victorian-style gentleman empty-handed fighter. He wears high-waisted slacks, gloves, and is shirtless. He wipes blood from his mouth while giving a self-assured smirk. Closer crop of Gotch.

Lukewarm take: Jack Skellington & Sally are goth reskins of Pumpkinhead Jack and Scraps the patchwork girl of Oz.

Which is odd insofar as these are characters who were already wonderfully disconcerting in their original iterations. Keep Oz Weird.

#oz #queerart #fantasyart
Digital sketch of Scraps, the patchwork girl of Oz, a life-sized, sentient doll made of patchwork fabric.

August accountability round up. Posted less, though ostensibly what I posted were all “finished” (I.e. fully colored / rendered) rather than just cleaned up sketches.
Collage of my August digital art efforts: top, a purple and pink dino swimming underwater. Row 2 left: Ianto, a chubby ginger with glowing pattern along the skin under his eyes. Row 2 right: attempt at a stylized self-portrait. Bottom row left: Katie Power / Energizer in her energy-full form. Bottom row right: fire person in adventuring gear in dungeon setting with a skull in a spider web and a bright, menacing spider behind him.

It was only a matter of time before I took a crack at Power Pack fanart. I couldn’t get the June Brigman crackle line work to work, but it doesn’t make me want to hang my fannish head in shame, so I’m going with it. #marvel #powerpack #fanart
Digital color art of Katie Power / Energizer of Marvel comics’ Power Pack: a young girl with pigtail braids who glows with energy from within. Behind her is a large sphere of crackling energy.

Found another fun “draw this in your style” over on insta. Had a lot of fun learning / trying techniques for fire and its light, and a little bit of webbing. Quite happy with how it turned out. I even did a honest to goodness background. *gasp*. #queerart #digitalart #fantasyart

I tried a few things with this redraw, and what’s the internet for if not over sharing? So, I experimented a bit with trying to do line weights, which I do think makes a difference even if it’s subtle. Also, “power on / off” variations. #digitalart #characterdesign #art #specfic
Digital lineart of Ianto, a heavyset, bearded fellow in hooded jacket and cargo pants. A pattern like tears flows from his eyes.

This version adds my attempt at playing with line weights to add more dimension without shading.

Felt low on inspo, so decided to try a re-draw of a character from one of my stories. I think my line / figure work has improved by more than my color rendering, but overall, I dig it.
Side-by-side of two digital takes on the same character. Ianto is an auburn-ginger haired, bearded, pudgy fellow in blue and red hooded leather jacket and gray cargo pants. An indigo, spider-webbed pattern glows on his cheeks.

Digital art of a thick man with brown beard and bright blue hair. He wears a pink hoodie with bear ears on the hood and a white circle in the middle that holds a heart shape full of brass gears. He holds a sewing needle aloft with a smile. The red thread trailing the needle traces as heart shape in the air around him, threaded through an array of rainbow-colored cards. Multi-colored twinkling lights fill the air.

Made the probably ill-advised decision to attempt a stylized selfie. Then doubled down by taking a stab on a more dramatically-lit version. #art #characterart #digitalart
Digital color art attempt at a selfie: bald, bearded person with blue eyes, graying beard, and green shirt Digital color art attempt at a selfie: bald, bearded person with blue eyes, graying beard, and green shirt. The yellow primary and purple secondary light are more prominent with the figure in more shadow.

Survival hustle pt 2: husband (not on Bluesky) started paper/stamp/ink/embossing card crafting a bit ago, and we decided to try an Etsy shop. Each is individually crafted, which means he can also take requests! Hallmark doesn’t need your money. www.etsy.com/shop/TheCraf...
Paper and ink handmade card of two bears kissing, colored with the queer bear flag colors, and the phrase “does a bear kiss’n the woods?” Left: cut paper and ink collage art of a bird sitting in the center of a wreath on an background embossed with wood grain Right: cut paper and ink art card of evergreen trees on die cut white with green plaid border. Whole card is embossed with abstract layout numbers Cut paper and stamp-ink art blue polka dot card. At the center is a wild eye, square toothed, squat bear. The words “the secret ingredient” also frame the figure. Cut paper and ink art cards which involve hand-weaving strips to create patterns. The left card has a rainbow theme and the words “you are amazing.” The right card has red, green, and brown paper as well as white paper with green and red polka dots.

In a show of accountability which I will almost certainly and immediately regret by next month, decided to compile my scribbles and doodles posted in July. #art #characterdesign #graphicdesign
Collage of four monochrome digital sketches. Clockwise from top left: an anthro tiger pirate saying “aye, Cap’n”; a baggie dressed be-speckled mage holding textbooks aloft and saying “New Paradigm dropped”; a pair of roguish blokes one atop the other in a move somewhere between a wrestle and foreplay; a dragon-person in adventuring gear. Four part collage of digital color art. Clockwise from top left: white man in suit with sharks for hands; yellow puppet halfling with glowing gold pacifier; Black man in colorful uniform summoning a crackling ball of energy: simple logo with two bearded folks framing the words “Fat, Gay, and Tired.”
