Wonder Woman Ideas

I mentioned feeling a little guilty that I hadn't had as many ideas about Wonder Woman as I did about Batman and Superman. However, this last week before math class I learned that it wasn't that I didn't have many ideas about her, I just hadn't considered them yet. There's still a major difference though. I can't tell on my own if all of them are good ideas or not. For example, it's difficult to tell from the image, but I think it might be cool and different if Wonder Woman's modern-day super-suit had sleeves. The big problem with that is that there's a kind of power in the perceived vulnerability her movie outfit shows in perspective with the strength of her actions say, on the battlefield. In a similar way, I tried a few different designs for a new Wonder Woman logo because the old one is so hard to draw. This new one (the W star) is fun, but doesn't get the same idea across.
It may be that I should just save all these ideas about superheroes and do something completely different with them. God's will be done.

Gravity Falls Drawings

And last but certainly not least, there's the Gravity Falls drawings. The first is just random doodles, most of which are done in the "Gravity Rises" fan alternate universe where the twin's personalities are switched. I especially like this idea because the twins would resemble me and my sister more, or at least in a different way. They're not amazing, but I liked them enough to share.
The second image is just the Pines Twins in a different art style. Their's was the first art style I really did correctly, so I like to draw them in other styles whenever I try out another style.

CompSci Magic Drawing

My first drawing waiting for this new semester of Computer Science. It's me shooting magic out of my hand. I've had this particular style of magic image in my head for a while, but this is the first time I've really done it right. Someday I'd like to write a magic system based on computer-like language. But for that I'll have to keep paying attention in class.

Because Superman Wants You To

I saved this Superman drawing for later because it's my favorite. Part of the reason I like Superman so much is that we can project all our warped cultural ideals of perfection and God onto him, but he would not necessarily always react with patience. I think it would be tiring to be just a normal guy who was idolized in such a way. Plus this drawing gave me the opportunity to caricature many stereotypical ways of drawing a superhero against a more classic cartoon depiction of the classic superhero.

DuckTales Arms

It turns out the arms in the new 2017 Ducktales Reboot is perfect as a bridge between my cartoony stick arms and real looking arms. It's simple, but even just that one one extra line between the wrist and thumb was eye-opening for me. Donald was especially helpful because of how expressive he is with his arms.

Batman Villain

I decided to write this at the top primarily because there are so many of basically this same picture. At some point I thought of an idea for an original Batman villain who could challenge his existentialism philosophy and not just his history or something like Hush (who my dad does not like) or the Court of Owls or Owlman or Wrath or however many "anti-Batman's" there have been. But for the longest time I didn't know what their gimmick or design should be like. So I drew inspiration from one of Batman's greatest villains, the Phantasm, and a lot of other important figures in the animated Batman's life.
However, I wanted this villain to be visually distinct from Batman and Joker, and I had the idea to use different shapes for the face, as you can see in the last image. Where Batman and Joker have square and triangle heads respectively, this figure would have a circle head. Where Batman and Joker have threatening triangle eyes and bulging circle eyes this figure would have dead rectangle eyes. So all these images are just experimenting with what this angel-statue inspired existential villain would be like. I'd probably call them Eidolon. The next-to last image is especially nice I think.

Joker Doodles

I wanted to make my version of Joker look creepy. Mission accomplished I think. This idea of Joker is meant to play on modern fears and ideas, so I took inspiration from some pop culture icons (which I won't mention here mostly because I think they're interesting but overrated). It took a lot of tries to get to this, but I'm really happy with how it looks.
