An old Arrowette redesign I had a lot of fun with back in 2018! Pre-Wacom tablet upgrade, though, so the sensitivity on the line-art is a bit...blocky.

My classic Batgirl piece, now available as a sticker, a mug design, on notebooks, as a greeting card and much more!! Feel free to check it out!
A quick intro from me and what I’m about! May as well get it out the way and get to the good stuff quicker, eh?

Now we get to the good stuff, AKA, Batgirl!
(Done pre-Wacom tablet upgrade.)
Now if you were to ask me what my favourite incarnation of Barbara Gordon is, honestly, I'd be torn between two:
--Batgirl of Burnside
and
--1966 Batman
Interestingly enough; Batgirl of Burnside draws incredibly heavy on Yvonne Craig's influence on Batgirl, and it's not hard to see why.
See, originally, Batgirl as an identity wasn't meant to be a side-kick (that was a 1990's post-zero hour retcon! And a messy one at that!)
Batgirl was basically meant to stand on equal footing with Batman; she was an ally, not a copy. Inspired by but not working for nor under. That was pretty much established in her debut episode, in fact! She loved what he stood for, but had her own way; a much more empathetic, working-with-the-people approach!
That carries on to the current run today! So, wheras Bruce nowadays is happy to inspire fear and act as a semi-urban-legend, Barbara wants to be right on the street with the people--using a combo of criminal psychology with the most updated tech!
It's fascinating really!
But I digress.
While Burnside put emphasis on the practical design, the 1960's were all about stage presence! Something I wanted to capture here, using Yvonne Craig's history as a champion Ballerina!
It's actually a lot of fun to see how or if you can truly meld fight-coreography with the grace of dance...and ya know, I think it can be done. But I wanna explore and push it more!
I’ve opened a redbubble shop! And just in time, in fact, to debut my new design sets “Figures”--a series of prints and paintings inspired by the graceful art of figure skating!
Come check it out; at the least you might get some gift ideas!
