Rat Creature's Journal

Fandom: DCU (Green Arrow)
Characters/Pairings: Roy Harper (back when he was Speedy)
Media used: Wacom tablet in GIMP
Rating/warnings: PG, I guess, for drug use
Notes/comments: This took me a really long time, and I don't just mean that I first had the idea for this in 2006. I have no idea what I am doing wrong that digital coloring takes me so long, isn't it supposed to be efficient? I suppose it's one of the pitfalls of being self-taught. Anyway, it's Roy during the famous heroin addict story line. As always, feedback is very welcome.

I posted more exercise sketches at slothsdraw, and the result of me practicing silhouettes is actually sort of fanart, because the jumping silhouette with the city background in that drawing was supposed to be Nightwing patrolling.

Also, I'm actually surprised that I managed to do all five exercises I picked for the first week.

Fandom: DCU (Green Arrow)
Characters: Connor Hawke (Green Arrow II)
Media used: pencil drawing, inked and colored with a Wacom tablet in GIMP
Rating/warnings: G, none
Notes/comments: It was kind of hard to decide how to draw him, because there doesn't seem to be any real consensus on how "non-European" he looks. So let me know whether my version matches your mental image of him.

kayim is hosting a DCU kissing meme, and I've drawn a Tim/Steph doodle for it.
