"You know that door's not really an entrance...”

Kara was getting a little lonely.

Here is Ms. “I filled your apartment with flowers, built a balcony just for you, what are friends for?” Luthor. There is seriously no heterosexual explanation for half of the things this queen does when around Ms. Danvers in Supergirl, so can we just make Supercorp canon yet? #supercorpwillrise #gayagenda

Lena Luthor, Supergirl.

Completed: June 11, 2017.

Delightfully, Ms. Luthor came together in the short space of a couple hours. What took the most time was deciding whether or not to include a line on those big ol’ lips o’ hers (I spent a good chunk of my life dedicated to debating the decision, and had to call in an Australian authority on the matter). 

My overall plan here was to demonstrate how Lena constantly works to move out of the shadow of her family name, and I hope I got that across with the vibrant colours peeking out the top and the bottom of the image. If you’re still trying to figure out wtf is in the background, it’s chess pieces — pls tell me you get the reference. Anyways, please enjoy Lena in all her on fleek eyebrow glory and let me know your thoughts!

P.S. The biggest shoutout from the rooftop of the L Corp building to @littlekbrother who put up with a billion screenshots and silly questions about minuscule details. Lena wouldn’t have lips if it wasn’t for this goof, so y’all should thank her. 

Stronger Together… part two!

I couldn’t very well make a Kara Danvers piece without making a Supergirl piece now could I?! If you didn’t catch it, the potsticker loving companion to this Maiden of Might is over here: click me if you love Kara Danvers.

Supergirl aka Kara Zor-El.

Completed: May 26, 2017.

A couple of highlights for me whilst making this one include (but are not limited to): realising there’s a Kryptonian font that actually exists and I actually used it in a piece of art holy wow, improvising with the letter ‘v’ and spending at least a couple of hours on this earth fighting with vector rendering of hair. 

I hope you like her as much as I do, and I’d love to hear your thoughts so feel free to drop me an ask!

Stronger Together…

Now, although I haven’t watched season 2 yet (I have a lengthy rant-y explanation as to why) Kara Danvers holds a special place in my heart. Nobody has the right to be the humanoid embodiment of a Golden Retriever, srsly, it should be outlawed. Her confused face and penchant for potstickers won over my tiny feeble heart a handful of minutes into the pilot.

Kara Danvers (Zor-El).

Completed: May 8, 2017.

I experienced incredible joy making this one (potentially to the point of squealing to myself a handful of times). My plan was to use texture and the lens reflection in an attempt to artfully convey her dual identity, whilst keeping that puppy!Kara vibe with the nerdiest outfit she’s ever worn on the g damn show.

Team: Mirkwood Elks.

Captain: Thranduil.

You heard it right folks, @moosefrog​ whipped up another Hobbit Hockey team captain: His Royal Majesty, Silver King of Ice, Captain Thranduil of the Mirkwood Elves! 

Feast your eyes on my interpretation of his teams banner right here in this post, and take a peek-see at the captain himself by clicking here.

He might appear to be fairly flow-y and elegant in nature, but once you get the King of the Woodland Realm on the ice against a particular dwarf (*cough* Thorin *cough*) he ain’t no pushover. He is living proof that you can be flow-y, elegant AND face check all at the same time. 

If you’re curious about this whole #HobbitHockey thang, check out our other collab pieces so far: 

Thorin Oakenshield of the Erebor Ravens

May the 4th Be With You...

...again! 

I hope everybody is having a wonderful May 4, and I hope that this second Star Wars piece I did a while back brings you just a little bit of joy. Or fear. He’d probably prefer if you were scared.

Kylo Ren.

Completed: September 2nd, 2016. 

I approached this piece a little differently in that I wanted it to work well as a companion piece to my Darth Vader — I figured Kylo would want to be taken as seriously as his Grandpappy. I bow to my artistic subjects wishes, what can I say.

Hobbit Hockey. When @moosefrog first uttered these two magical words to me I flipped and had to get in on the idea by pushing some pixels around in Photoshop so, without further ado: meet the team banner for Thorin’s very own Erebor Ravens, and my very first art project collab!

Into the idea of a Middle Earth ice hockey league? Ever wondered what Thorin Oakenshield might look like if he were in the NHL? @moosefrog has got you covered. 

SO PROUD OF YOU.
