DC comics by way of Wallace & Gromit
So, following the immense popularity of my 5 Essential Character Redesigns post, I decided to take a more thorough stab at revamping DC Comic’s Justice League. I’ve already mentioned before that I think their current “New 52” reboot, aimed at gaining new readers, is terribly ineffective,…

I’m taking on a few commission slots (about 3 or so) in the next 2 months
they’ll be done in my full-on Moon Girl digitally painted style
I’m thinkin:
$50 for black & white head shot (+$25 coloured)
$150 full body black &white (+ $75 each additional character)
$200 full body colour (+$100 each additional character)
images with backgrounds like city-scapes and stuff will be extra depending on how involved you’re looking for (we’ll talk)
anyone you want (comics, film, celebrity types) anything you want (though if you’re looking for things like Bat-man banging Lara Croft, I’m not your guy…)
half the cash up front, other half on completion …come alone…no cops

“It’s official, DC has decided to reboot Oracle back to being Batgirl. This is a pretty crushing blow to disabled superhero comic fans, and those who support them.
It’s safe to say DC’s news of turning Barbara Gordon’s Oracle back into her previous persona of Batgirl has rattled a few cages. Mine for one. But the great thing coming out of this distressing turn of events is the visibility it’s giving to the physically challenged. Now one artist is calling you to arms to help keep that exposure going.
Much like the Adam Hughes commission above which shows Oracle in all her glory, artist Elena Barbarich, known as Yamino online, is suggesting any and all artists get their preferred tools out to illustrate Ms. Gordon in her chair. Yamino writes on her Tumblr, “I think we should do a big Oracle Draw-a-thon, to support visibility for disabled characters in mainstream comics, and comics in general. Heck, it doesn’t have to be just visual art. How about an Oracle Create-a-Thon? Whatever it is you do, fanart, fanfic, music, sculpture, cakes…. let’s do it!”
Yamino, creator of the webcomics Sister Claire and Nightingale, wants some help reaching out and organizing and since I know a few people who know a few people, I figured I could help out a bit. Feel free to send your creativity to me to post on my Tumblr (you can leave a link here or email me at nerdybirdcontest@gmail.com and spread the word to artists everywhere.Show Oracle being blocked by obstacles or overcoming them but most importantly, show her as the strong, capable character she is.”
the idea of this particular re-boot doesn’t vibe with me at.all.
I don’t care when they want to change a characters origin, make them younger, make them “edgier”,give them a lame 90’s jacket with rolled up sleves… hell,give them an ass-ton of Liefeld pouches, I don’t really care…comics have always been an ever fluid,ever changing,often convoluted medium..
but to take this particular character,one who really does stand for something in the hearts of people with disabilities, (and frankly a character that doesn’t HAVE to be Bat-Girl in that same way that Bruce Wayne pretty much HAS to be Bat-Man or Steve Rogers Has to be Captain America in the eyes of most fans)..to take that character and pretty much throw out what,at least in my mind, establishes and shaped the true hero shes become just for the sake of “shakin things up” is bullshit
I totally understand that D.C. isn’t setting out to be disrespectful or insensative, but I think that’s exactly what it is…
so yeah, I hope any of you fellow artists out there who come across this also contribute something
even a few classic Moon Girl ones in there
slacked on posting….so here’s a hat-trick (I’m 99% sure thats a sports term)
Bat-man with a mustache…Poison Ivy with a nipple…and a Joker that I origionally had a noose in his hand..but changed it to paper dolls and scissors and couldn’t be bothered to change the hand on the right….
.. I should do a Harley one of these days….
