some in progress art

You know how you don't post for awhile and then you do it once and you get going again? Yeah. Also, my tablet is broken so! Pre-finished art!

I felt like cosplaying Balder so you get rule 63 Balder.

Thor with a baby! Sort of because the actor has a baby now and there are hilarious pictures of him being giant with a tiny baby, but mostly these two pics are just more brush ink practice.

And finally, I was trying to think of something I could do for Etsy for money and wound up starting a wall-mounted display dragon. Note to all: do NOT try to use rice flour for paper mache. No, we don't have any regular flour in the house somehow. Glue's better.
Oooh shiny

pro brush pens are awesome

I am still learning how to use this new brush pen I got, but I've drawn and inked a couple things.

Bart and Carol of DC's old Impulse comics.
Lyrl of LEGION and REBELs non-fame.

Look at how wobbly that is. Well, I'm sure I'll get better. You may notice a certain Watterson influence because I was screwing around with his style. Here's a photo of my OC (lower right) where you can see some of the doodles I've done to study his inkwork. Maybe I should try actually inking them? But ink is so expensiiiiive ...

Oh! BTW, for those of you who roleplay, I have started up a DR that you can find at scribbledress. I opened it yesterday and am now at a loss for how to advertise it. Spamming is welcome!

Thor and Young Avengers fanfic, art

Wow, I never post here anymore. Well! I am kind of sick at the moment (and by "kind of sick" I mean "have acute anemia") but I still have new fanstuff to show. I'm also working on some original stuff but I won't share that (unless you're willing to read over a snippet involving a person getting a back tattoo and tell me if it sounds accurate. I've never had a tattoo.)

Fanfic!
The Third Son (MCU verse)
When Loki hears that his parents have had another son, he decides to enter Asgard and deal with the little usurper.

Borne Fruit (616 Marvel comics)
A rewrite of the scene in The Mighty Thor #6 where Thor apologizes to Kid Loki for choking him.

Unlikely Praise (616 Marvel comics)
Only one thing shocks Loki these days.

The Sons of Asgard Vs. the Dragon of Depression (Tales of Asgard animated movie)
After the events of the Tales of Asgard movie, Loki withdraws into depression. Thor is determined to cheer his brother up by any means, even if it kills him. And it just might.

Fanart!

All I Want For Xmas is Loki with Thor and Loki. Actually an illustration from the Dragon of Depression fic.
Thor and Loki modelling - More silly than hot, maybe.
Balder with Hugin and Munin
Tiny Frost Giant - a manip of Asa Butterfield as a live action jotun Kid Loki
Balder riding a dinosaur
Tales of Asgard-verse Balder
Brodinson Rock Band featuring Thor, Loki, and Balder as a band

And Cassie and Vision from Young Avengers as requested by Phil.

ART REQUESTS

Though I can't promise to fill them, I'm needing things to doodle and my brain refuses to work. So if you've got requests might as well leave 'em.

How to get into the legion and also tumblr hates me or possibly everyone

Just a reminder, I'm bluepard on dreamwidth as well if you want to add me. Not that I post there, but it's not like I remember to post here either.

BTW, the awesome Missveryvery made a wonderful explanation of how to get into my favorite Legion which is also a good example of why I never try to get anyone into comics these days. Still, the Legion. It's awesome. (Also, when I go through her tumblr I find that clicking on some images makes them smaller instead of larger. Huh? What? How does tmblr work?)

Anyway, Happy New Year!

Let's compare some Brainiacs

One of the interesting things about Vril and Lyrl, when you compare them, is that Vril is a winner with a 10th level intellect, and Lyrl is a fucker-upper with a 12th level intellect. Vril can beat Brainiac, he can beat Lyrl, and he has. Cunning. Cunning and daddy issues.

Say you have something you need to get from the other side of a nigh-invulnerable wall. Most people would try to go over, under or around it. But Lyrl would say "Fuck you, wall! I'm a Brainiac!" and destroy the whole damn thing. Even though that might be the worst way to get around the wall. Lyrl wields his intellect like a hammer and doesn't think deeply into which solution is best. He's smart enough to use any solution and arrogant enough to believe he'll think of something if anything goes wrong. He doesn't plan. Vril, on the other hand, will probably have gotten the object before anyone else knew it was a factor because he puts real thought into things. Vril might also be the least arrogant Brainiac, keeping him from underestimating situations.

Of course, this means that when Vril does something stupid like putting a baby in charge of admin, I'm annoyed and disappointed. But when Lyrl screws up, I like him more. And Lyrl screws up most of the time.

What do you do when current comics are making you sad? Read back issues.

I found an Adam Strange story that has beautiful art. But when Vril showed up, well ...



Why is he bald?! Vril cannot be bald. You know why?



That's why, Vril. You are a clone of a bald guy. You don't want to look like the bald guy, grow some hair! It's not just that I'm disappointed that Vril has weird objects glued to his head in a comic where he could look really cool, it just doesn't look like Vril to me. Though it is a shame, I mean, look at this awesome outfit:



Would have been so cool if they hadn't messed with the hair. Still, at one point someone said that Vril might not be such a tight ass, to which Vril responded, "Oh, I can assure you that I am." Which. Uh. It's been a while since a comic has been fun. I'm pretty happy about it.

Dananananananana PANTLESS!

Pantless but not pouchless. I was going to move the bat symbol to his belt, but there was no room with all those pouches. So he has bat undies! Personally, I think the effect is enhanced by my shoddy photoshop job making it look like I pasted Batman's head on a naked wrestler body. That might be the insomnia talking, though.
