Bloodrayne and I are half American half Kiwi, and we caught World Cup fever!!! 😆⚽️🎉
Check out the clips of the Tartan Army, Mexico and South Korea’s bromance, and Brits discovering Walmart if you want to cure your depression!
Oh, and did we mention that (if the tournament goes a certain way) America and England could be facing off against each other ON THE 4TH OF JULY? IN PHILADELPHIA?! We’ll see!! 😁
Good luck to all you teams out there, and here’s to a great World Cup!!!
Hello, it's me once again, I've had a burning question for a while,
i gotta know, how do you decide on the lineup for each of your teams in your DCU, is there some sort of method?
Certainly :) First off, there’s colour. Each member should have their own unique colour scheme in some way shape or form to allow them to stand out. (Obviously, you can’t always get around this, for example: Green Lantern and Green Arrow, but I do my best.)
Then there’s personality. Each team member needs their own little quirks to set them apart further. For my first gen of Teen Titans, each member was like a high school archetype. Robin’s the bad boy, Starfire’s the “weird” kid, Raven’s the goth, Beast Boy’s the class clown, Wally’s the flirt, Cyborg’s the star athlete, and Donna is the perfect cheer captain. They each have unique personality traits that rub off of one another well.
Finally, story. Sometimes, the overarching story I want to tell dictates whether or not a certain character can physically be on a team or not. For example, I wanted to have Martian Manhunter be a part of the Justice League from the start (like in the og comic) but his story is tied to M’gann’s, and she can’t be on Earth until a specific time, so Martian Manhunter just isn’t on Earth yet, unfortunately. He’ll come in later, though.
And that’s it :) The main things I think about when constructing a team.
Okay, my best friend and I were talking about the Batboys and if they would be a girl dad or a boy dad...and we are stuck on Tim..do you think he would be a boy or a girl dad?
Also I love you art!
Lol! Love that!
Hmm, let me think… I’m gonna say boy dad. Can’t really say why, I’m not entirely sure myself. Just a feeling :)
Loved your new episode of Korra!
The entire fetch quest was a nice way to show more geographical world-building to the city, and to show more about what people in the city are like.
Did Korra decide to take the roundabout route due to fear of standing out and having Tenzin find her?
And I was really excited to see that Miwa has finally been mentioned in the story!
I am really curious about what your take on Asami will be like. I can clearly see a tone difference just from the clothes she was wearing. That Red Kimono really brings "classic Fire Nation" to mind. For a moment, she kind of reminded me of Mai.
I wonder what kind of personality she is going to have. For some reason, I am getting a "Toph" impression from her. (Rich girl that knows how to act in high society, but secretly hates all that pompous life)
Thanks sm! And yes, Korra did decide to take the roundabout route to avoid having her identity get out.
You’re on the right track with Asami :) Tho I will point out that she’s not wearing a kimono, she’s wearing a hanfu, specifically one inspired by the Ming and Wei&Jin dynasties.
Glad you liked the episode!
Okay, the time has come! You know how I made a teaser a while back and then never followed up? I was busy humming and hawing about which characters to include, but I gotta be honest, I’m still on the fence. So here we go, from left to right, we currently have:
Fairplay
Cheshire Cat
Zack Zatara
Nightstar
The Tornado Twins
And their fearless leader, Jason Todd.
Yes, this is inspired by the upcoming TT run. Yes, Fairplay’s design is basically untouched, but it’s not for the lack of trying. It’s peak, what can I say? I literally couldn’t add paint to that masterpiece no matter how hard I tried. Anyway…
Now, I’m still on the fence about the twins, because although their ages are right for this story, I don’t know if their personalities fit well on the team. Plus, I was hoping for more interesting powers in the lineup, instead of just two of the same powers, you know?
Why didn’t I go with the new characters in the official lineup? Eh. Honestly, neither of them strike me as interesting, character-wise or power-wise. But maybe that will change when their comic comes out? Idk. Anyhoo, let me know your thoughts, who you’d like to see in this lineup and who you wouldn’t.
