And Finally A Fully Finished Version Of Alastor. I Realized My Dumb Ass Forgot To Finish The Lighting

And finally a fully finished version of Alastor. I realized my dumb ass forgot to finish the lighting and details on his monocle. So, here he is! In all his fully rendered glory!

(I left the one I originally posted up in case anyone likes that one better as well.)

Backgrounds are hard, but this was kind of fun to do.

I did it. I made the thing.

Google, what are you doing, sweetheart?

Another piece of the DC project I'm working on. Onto the headcanons!

Tim Drake - boy genius, arguably the most likely to inherit the mantle of the bat (but we'll talk about that later), and somehow always ready to throw hands with a child.

Tim may be the greatest detective in the world, possibly even better than Batman. Even Ra's al Ghul sees it, being the only person other than Batman himself that this man is willing to call 'detective'.

Tim is sort of a dysfunctional genius - smart as all hell and has extremely high potential (which certainly reaches in some fronts), but has issues in fully realizing exactly how far he can go for one reason or another. Sleep deprivation is definitely one of those reasons.

He has a strong moral backbone (I figure he's closer to Dick than Jason on the scale of 'morality), though it could be reasonably difficult when you could have the entire world in the palm of your hand which, considering he runs Wayne Enterprises now, isn't too far off.

I'm working on a much bigger project featuring this guy. I'll probably start sticking stuff for it in here as it comes so be expecting a lot more DC from me lol. Now, headcanon time!

Jason Todd is probably one of my favorite DC characters, but also one that I feel has been generally mishandled.

One of the biggest things I think people forget about Jason is that he is, in fact, an anti-hero.

He does messed up shit because he knows that it's arguably the only way to really make a difference. Batman's methods, while generally noble, are relatively ineffective in the grand scheme of things. Due to the corruption of Gotham's justice system and rehabilitation system for criminals, the Big Bads really don't get their just desserts, which only leads to more people getting hurt and continuing the cycle of violence that has existed for so long.

Let's be real - the Joker has probably single-handedly ruined more lives than Batman could ever hope to save. I know, I know - that's dark, but it's probably true.

Trying a more drastic approach to keeping criminals off the streets doesn't seem too insane when those criminals don't get a clue to maybe stop after being beaten to a pulp by Batman.

I guess a lot of them are into that sort of thing lol.

In any case, Jason kills the bad guys so the families in the city won't have to worry about losing a child to the Joker's insanity, so women won't feel afraid to walk 100 feet down the sidewalk without turning into another missing persons photo on the ever-growing list, so that children don't have to worry about losing their parents to a hostage situation gone wrong.

I would argue that Jason Todd is not a bad person. In fact, I would argue that he is a very good person who is willing to go further than anyone else to help others because he knows exactly what it is like to be lost the grief, pain, and rage that comes from not being helped.

Anyway, that's all I've got for know. I'll probably do more character study stuff for the Bat family soon. Should be fun.
