Ive Opened A Redbubble Shop! And Just In Time, In Fact, To Debut My New Design Sets Figures--a Series

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! 

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? 

This is Baby Money Yoda, reblog in the next 60 seconds to receive a blessing from our green bean prince.

Please reblog this if you liked the Sonic Movie

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!

“Artemis: Goddess of the hunt, archer of the moon” My foray into archer has really given me new purpose, so to celebrate I thought I’d share a painting I’ve done of the original champion herself: Artemis! Twin sister to Apollo, Artemis requested of her father not only to have as many titles as her brother (the original ‘golden boy’) and to prove herself as an equally talented archer. With the mountains falling under her domain, Artemis proved herself a force to be reckoned with, something I take inspiration from in my training!
