With the movie coming out and her appearances in MAWS, I’ve been on a Supergirl fix this month. Had to make this,

I've been really into Doctor Strange the last several months for some reason. I think aside from Superman, he's my favorite comic book character these days. I've been diving into both his classics and his ongoing series and really enjoying them. With this piece I did something different. For my superhero art I usually do giant blocks of color and colored outlines, but this time I did it more like one of my elder scrolls pieces with black ink and water color pens.

This is gonna be a stupid rant, but it's been bugging me, and I'm tired of all the misinformation online.

Spider-Noir is not comic-accurate at all. It's probably the least accurate adaptation of a Spider-Man comic ever. It shares almost nothing in common with its source material aside from the setting and the costume. But that's OKAY. Things don't need to be comic accurate to be good.

Clearly, the writers of this show had their own story they wanted to tell, and that story was really, REALLY good. But what annoys the fuck outta me is all these people on social media trying to explain why "this is super comic-accurate." It's not. Nicolas Cage is more than 40 years older than Peter Parker is in the comic. He goes by Ben Reilly rather than Peter Parker, he gets his powers completely differently, he has a totally different motivation, he doesn't even face off against the same villains or deal with the same conflicts, it's completely missing its political themes, the majority of supporting characters don't appear, and the few that do have nothing in common with their comic counterparts.

This show is not comic-accurate. But something doesn't need to be comic-accurate to be good. Just fucking say you liked the show rather than pretending like you're some comic book expert and making yourself look like an ass to anyone who actually did read the comic. And also, read the comic while you're at it! They have very little in common, but it's also a great story, and I'd argue it's even better than the show.

I’ve been working on this piece on and off for several months now. Long enough that I’ve genuinely forgotten when I started it. Long enough that I had to go back and make changes to earlier additions because my art style had noticeably changed by the time I got around to make more additions.

This piece was designed to push me out of my comfort zone. It includes. Things I really hate to draw: group poses, armor, and metal. And overall I’m very happy with the result. I gave them a rainbow background as like a reference to the Super Friends cartoon, but changed the colors to give it a more late 70s-early 80s vibe.
