Finally made a someguy944.bsky.social #FanArt with his #Digimon #Subimon. I've been watching his art videos on Youtube for a few years now, and when he revealed his new channel mascot I knew I had to draw them.

#AyekaMasakiJurai from #TenchiMuyo. The whole #TenchiSeries is one of my favourite anime (and pretty close to the top of the list). #AnimeFanArt

Not sure how I feel about the colored lines this time. I like it in the line-art, but the final feels a bit too radioactive to me (though that might work as a kin of warning sign for how dangerous Ayeka is). I tried to blend my style with the various artists' who've worked on her over the years. I'm going to focus more on blending styles to help keep my own characters from feeling samey.

I love characters like Ayeka, who hide their more selfish (or straight-up unhinged) selves under a barely-there veil of propriety. They're always a ton of fun and tend to push stories forward with their antics instead of bringing it to a full-stop.

#Chaotix had a whole 3rd season I didn't know existed. Ended up bingeing the whole thing and liked it even more this time. So here's #Chaor. Not saying I'll draw all the Tribe leaders, but a certain rival will probably show up on here in a month or 2 (if nothing goes wrong)

I tried colouring my line-art differently this time. I've done this on a few of this months Aquaman uploads but Chaor was where I first tried it. I'm going to try to integrate this sort of thing into my art more. I'm also trying to take more liberties with how I draw other people's designs. I'm stubborn, and a creature of habit, so reprogramming my brain and integrating new things can take time and practice.

The line-art alone. I wanted to show it off since I’m trying to upload more process stuff.

Aquaman week 11 part 1. Necrus' mechanical defender the Cruel One, actual straight-up pirate #CaptainDemo, Sub-Diego police officer #ChandraAbbot, and headmaster of Atlantis' school for magic #MagisterLoke.

Planned to save the ships/suits I’m drawing until the end, but I wanted to get this robotic WMD out since I don’t think I’ll draw anymore characters from Necrus, and I wanted to revamp how things appear in the Dimensional Rift.

When there, black and white invert and colors become saturated. everything has a red tint and sketchy style as the dimension fades in and out of existence. I want it to feel like an underwater Hell, the very water tainted with blood and magic. A desperate world barely holding together.

I’ve been thinking about an Aquaman game (VERY similar to Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom) and Necrus would be a cool replacement for the Blood Moon mechanic.

Imagine swimming through the ocean, then the water turns red, shadows inky black, and the sea life no longer bid your call. Overtaken by fear and bloodlust, they attack more fiercely in greater numbers. The Black City rises somewhere in the depths. Do you dare challenge it’s protector or swim for safety?

One of the unfortunate people trying to hold Sub Diego together. Even more unfortunate that it sent her insane. She becomes a serial killer and works her own case alongside Aquaman.

I could see her coming back, either as a recurring enemy, or as a shaky ally with a clean bill of mental health. Sub Diego could use all the help it can get, but I could also see her drifting off to a less hostile environment.

An actual, honest to goodness, flat-out pirate.

He has a submersible 16th century pirate ship armed to the tooth with advanced weaponry, including his Laser-Sword (a sword with a laser on it, not a light-sabre sadly) and Oxygen Pistol which creates oxygen pockets by disturbing water molecules. He uses that last one to suffocate people. He wants to, what else, take over Atlantis. Apparently can breath underwater and lives a long time.

I want him to be old friends with the Fisherman. Though, if I ever got the chance to do an animated series I’d have an episode where he and the Fisherman team up and have it end with the Fisherman losing his host body and taking Demo as his next one.

He ran the Silent School, Atlantis’ school for magic and the place they store their magic items, and allied himself with Corum Rath when he tried to take over Atlantis. His magic was used to enforce Rath’s rules, and he encases Atlantis in the Crown of Thorns (an ancient artifact which casts a protective network of magic around the city). Loke believed Rath was using too much magic and fears the consequences, so he turned on him and Rath killed him.

Of course, he IS magic and that means he can always be brought back. He trains Tempest in the New 52, so he’s another under-utilized magic villain who could easily be high level.

The Silent School itself is already a cool concept. Imagine all the characters and stories that could come from there.

A long time ago, I read a chapter of Peter David's Aquaman run with Deadline in it. I misremembered the chapter and, as it turns out, Deadline is not enough of an Aquaman villain for this project. Too bad I finished the drawing before I checked... Figured I might as well post him.

Aquaman week 10 part 1. The #Aqualad #JacksonHyde, the hive-minded #Omniguard, Aquaman's less loving bride the queen of Hy-Brasil, and the Tritonian heroine #Sheeva.

When I started this project I got asked a few times when I’d draw this Aqualad. Since I only have a half remembered Teen Titans issue and the Young Justice show (which changes a lot about him) I wanted to make sure I got his parents done first so I could do him right. I went with, what I believe, is a newer design since it already brought in elements from the Young Justice version and I like the dyed blonde (it makes me think he did it because he respects Aquaman and the blonde hair being considered a curse which led to Aquaman becoming a thing).

I like how he went for the older red of OG Aqualad’s costume while Lorena Marquez went for blue similar to when Garth became tempest.

Since he’s Black manta’s son, his mom is from Xebel, and he was heavily associated with eh surface heroes the Teen Titans I didn’t keep too hard to my usual design motifs. I emphasized the fins on his legs a bit but didn’t change his outfit much at all since I wanted him to easily slip between worlds and feel more like a generalized hero.

The Omniguard are an alien race with a shared consciousness who try to use Tempest’s magic as a power source for their ship. They can be a single super-form or split up into at least 3 individuals with their own powers.

Tempest later helps them charge their ship and they leave on good terms, but I think leaving ti there would be a mistake.

The Aqua-Family is a powerful team. Mera alone is crazy tough, but add on Tempest and the legions of Atlantean Men-of-War, the Secret School, etc. Now imagine them going up against a hive-mind running an entire planet of supper powered being. We only encountered a few of them but who knows how many abilities the Omniguard home-world has at its disposal. imagine a story where the Aqua-Family has to fight an entire planet of what are essentially alien X-Men (or a meta-human Borg). Their toy-like aesthetic belies infinite potential for battles, while there hive-mind allows easy navigation of the conflict in their stories.

Hy-Brasil is one of the Lost Cities of Atlantis and its inhabitants have mutated over the years similarly to the Trench. When they were part of the surface, their domed city was the main point of protection for the realm. As a result they have a large supply of ancient weaponry.

I haven’t read much with her, but their Queen was depicted as ruthless and cunning. She attempts to get Aquaman to become her new King threatening that if he refuses her people will tear him apart. She even tries to have him forced to kill Dolphin for accidentally firing on the city, after having looked her over.

A Tritonian who becomes the trio of young aquatic characters who got to the surface to fight crime and better relations between undersea and surface dwellers, calling themselves the Landlubbers. She acts as the hands of their whale member Blubber.

I wasn’t going to include them, but a comment made me realize how much potential they have to expand the world outside of Aquaman’s reach. They are a group of young people going out of their way to better relations between their people and the surface on their own, not as an extension of Aquaman’s rule but as an extension of his ideals.

A #DrawThisInYourStyle of @ironlilyart.com's character #Titania. Ironlily makes historically inspired characters and talks about historical accuracy. #FanArt

Titania is defending an impressed Paige while arrows fly around them. I was trying to go for a kids-story-book kind of low detail castle in the background. Not sure how well that meshed with the washed-out colors.

@whillustrations.bsky.social surprised me with a fan art mock-cover featuring NRG's premier Toonman and one of his villainous enemies, Muenster Mash!! This was such an awesome gift that really made my day!

I drew #FanArt of @nrgcomics.bsky.social's animated ace #Toonman and the villain #MuensterMash. This is the second time I drew it since the first was deleted when my tablet glitched. I like this version better though.😤 #Comics #NRGComics #ComicbookFanArt

Toonman is leaning on top of Muenster Mash's shoulder and using his chin as dip for a bowl of chips. Muenster Mash is not amused with his antics.

Since both characters are living cartoons I gave them different shading from usual. MM has harsher black/blue shading to mimic 90s superhero cartoons while Toonman has solid black but only on his overalls like simpler 30s ones. I also gave Toonman a slight gradient to make him appear a bit overexposed.

I included the image before I cropped it to fit the cover format.

A different project didn't work out the way I wanted, so I turned it into this. The 4 main Hulks (Savage/Green, Mr.Fixit/Grey, Prof/Merged and the Big Man/Devil) along with Bruce's Triad of Guardians, Glow and Goblin (I would love to see all 3 manifest as full Hulks).

Bruce's "Hulks" are a lot more fascinating than just representations of his emotions. They are the things he rejects about himself, cut away and left to germinate into new avatars of his will. The unloved children of his mind who often hate and reject him as he does them.

Bruce Banner is a great example of early Marvel's tendency to create "imperfect" of even "unheroic" heroes with each persona another glimpse into his often abrasive "true" personality. I feel that the most telling aspect of the Hulks is how they all represent a piece of Bruce and that barely any of them have a nice word to say about him and more often than not they seem to hate him.

Within the Central and South American jungles stories tell of a creature which protects the land and its secrets. Long have the legends of times gone by kept to ruins and dusty texts but now their time has come again. The #Snakeman stalks once more. @nrgcomics.bsky.social #ComicbookFanArt #NRGComics

The Snakeman emerges from the trees, hoping to wrap his deadly hand around the neck of a would-be trespasser. He is obscured by the foliage and speed of his assault. Only his outstretched hand and the glowing eyes of his chest armour give him away.

My nephew likes #KPopDemonHunters so I sketched his favourite character #AbbySaja while I was at their house. #Fanart #Sketch

I've been wanting to explore different aspects of my art style for a bit and I'm liking the more sketchy drawings I've been doing both in and out of my uploads. I'm going to try to use smaller lines and more cross hatching going forward. Though it may take some time to show in my uploads.

My drawing tablet wasn't working, so I tried drawing on a different device and now I'm putting a bunch of #Aquaman characters into a height chart. #Fisherman #BlackManta #DCComics #FanArt

I like Aquaman a ton and never loved how he was viewed by the non-comic reading fanbase. He is a combination of fantasy, sci-fi, super-hero, and barbarian tropes that come together to make a character with plenty to offer any reader.
I wanted to capture his dynamism while keeping him feeling kind and approachable.

I feel arch-villains should visually contrast their heroes. While Aquaman is outwardly open, colourful and inviting, Black Manta is reserved, monochrome, and hostile. I imagine him as a guarded obsessive whose fixation on Aquaman is nearly out of his control. A highly capable badass, but one who is alone even in a room full of his Manta-Men followers.

The Fisherman is fun. His weird hat is a parasite which controls the human body. I imagine him as a more typical pirate than most of the other villains. My take steals from anything on the water, using his advanced technology, and sells it to other villains. I would use him in more humorous stories and as a support villain to contrast the horror of what he is, while leaving room to develop him later on. Since the parasite is so old I would write him like an old school pirate and give him pirate-like motivations. He indulges in the world, knowing that if he gets in over his head he can ditch his host and start over.

Whill @whillustrations.bsky.social · 30/08/2025

G'nort, #GreenLantern from the planet G'newt. He was recruited by fake Guardians to fill the GL Corps with incompetent Lanterns but Guy Gardener vouched for him to join for real. He's a silly, easily fooled, goof with a good heart who is trying his best. #DCComics #FanArt #Gnort

In the game he’d scramble around in silly, but hard to hit, patterns. He wouldn’t hit hard or be able to take many himself (opening him up for funny accidents and rage quits) but his slapstick constructs don’t cost much and can trip up or stall opponents. He would focus on annoying the enemies, drawing them towards him for an ambush or scampering around them as a hard to follow scout.

#JumboPanther had some interesting powers. Her body is a balloon and she can fly, exhale for a few abilities, and control these red birds. She felt a bit like an American comic character. #CutieHoney #AnimeFanArt #FanArt

Her costume is reminiscent of wrestling based American comic characters, so I have her flying down on the viewer like a bodyslam. She is surrounded by her birds.

#OctoPanther's suckers kept changing their placement through the episode. The coolest thing in the episode is a submarine with a face, that shoots a missile out its eye, that opens up into spears. #FanArt #AnimeFanArt #PantherClaw #CutieHoney

I wanted to make her skin look more rubbery, like an anime cooked octopus or those octopus shaped hotdogs in some characters lunches.

#Larvox is a #GreenLantern from Sputan. His people have little individuality due to their sense of harmony with their planet. Larvox is asexual and mute. #DCComics #FanArt

Larvox has a few variations on their look in comics. I like the "thick hotdog" meets "insect gourd" one. I kept the coloration similar to their older look and applied it to my favourite features.

Considering their people's connection to the nature of their planet, I would bias them to nature based constructs. I think they could use their multiple legs to speedily scurry around the field setting up trap plants which poison or paralyse. They could toss enemies around using thorny vines and keep allies safe with leafy shields.

#IronShadow isn't my favourite design, but this is a brutal episode. Honey impales the panther on a rake and cuts Shadow in half mid-air. Honey wrestles 3 lions and decks one in the stomach. #FanArt #AnimeFanArt #CutieHoney

I like the panther sidekick a lot more than Iron Shadow herself. Animal sidekicks are a fun trope and it ties into the circus ending.

Since I wasn't super into the design I tried working on my perspective this time. I made the whip look more like energy than an actual whip just for fun.

#GreenMan is an amphibious Alpha #GreenLantern from Uxor. His planet is soaked in water and his people have gills beneath their jaws. Aside form him, his people have no individuality and tell one another apart by their bumpy head patterns. #DCComics #FanArt

I wanted to accentuate his aquatic features, so I added a few gill slits on his neck along with the ones on his jaw and gave his body a more blueish hue. His body and uniform are more glossy than my other designs. Without the uniform he'd have an easy time blending into the shimmering water. Since he likes being an individual I countered this by giving his uniform more glowing bits that would make him stand out instead of blend in.

I originally began this project with a Marvel Rivals type game in mind. I imagine him using lillypad constructs to fling himself and those around him across the map, firing sharks, knocking enemies back with waves, or diving into water to gain a speed boost and escape pursuit when his ring is low on power.

I didn’t expect #TarantulaPanther to have fire hair or get killed with a lightning bolt. I like the extra sense of danger in plane fights. The idea that someone could puncture the walls or the plane could get damaged adds a nice undercurrent of suspense. #FanArt #AnimeFanArt #CutieHoney

I’ve never been amazing with perspective, so I was practicing with this and the next one. I have half her head covered in flames, which illuminate the rest of her body. Tarantula Panther is a really simple design, but she might be my favourite so far in the show.

Whill @whillustrations.bsky.social · 31/05/2025

#Chaselon is an Alpha (elites merged with their batteries) #GreenLantern from Barrio III. He's one of the most experienced GL and Hal chose him as one of the first to rebuild the Corps. He needs the mech-tendrils to move his crystal body and he has 13 senses. #DCComics #FanArt

$I drew his regular form instead of the Alpha Lantern one where he is missing the belt, his symbol is an open hole belching green energy, and using green tendrils. I kept his body shades of blue and white to make the green symbol and ring stick out. I started drawing these GL with a Marvel Rivals game in mind. I imagine him streaking across the battlefield like a comet, refracting his fellow Lanterns blasts like light hitting a disco ball and allowing them to do radial damage. He could spin, striking with his tendrils like a buzz saw. The other Lanterns can charge him with their attacks, allowing him to run down his energy with high power attacks so long as he has a friend nearby. When his energy runs out he loses his speed and attack, having to crawl away with his slow tendrils until he can get his oath out.$

#CutieHoney was really resourceful in this episode. She felt like an early American superhero, out-thinking Bad Fly instead of overpowering her. Turns out Seiji's dad is a ninja and he even got #BadFly in the eye with a shuriken. #PantherClaw #FanArt #AnimeFanArt

I have her posed as if she is stepping out for a takeoff with her cloth "wings". I love her bid triangle eyes that match the red of her outfit.

Whill @whillustrations.bsky.social · 10/05/2025

This episode reminded me a lot of the first episode for Sailor Moon. There's a diamond store Honey has to investigate with the reporter Seiji and they work together to catch #TomahawkClaw in disguise. #FanArt #AnimeFanArt #PantherClaw #CutieHoney

I don't know many cool poses for a character with giant blades for arms so I went with her hunching over as if she's about to take flight or land. She has way more detail in her hair and face than the rest of her body. A more classic super-villain design.

Whill @whillustrations.bsky.social · 26/04/2025

My next drawing of the #PantherClaw villains from #CutieHoney is #FireClaw. Not sure if I'm going to like Junpei or his dad but I could see Seiji getting better over time. #FanArt #AnimeFanArt

I have a theory that her costume is based on the Fire Rat whose fur was one of the impossible to find items Kaguya-Hime sent her suitors after to avoid having to deal with them.

When I first saw her I thought she was going to have dream powers and be based on the mythological Baku, but the name gave her true power away.

#Brik is a #GreenLantern from the planet Dryad. She's 1 of the recruits Hal Jordan (who she had a crush on) found after the Guardians wanted to reform the Corps. Her people are made of stone and their lives are typically spent in passive inactivity. #DCComics #FanArt

I drew her very square, with angular edges and thick lines. I wanted to emphasize her stereotypically masculine features since they play into how Hal interacts with her early on. I gave her a few freckle-like dots and a texture on her face to make her look more like stone.

I started watching 1970s #CutieHoney and I love the wacky designs for the #PantherClaw villains. I figure I'll draw them as I go. Starting with #BlackClaw. #FanArt #AnimeFanArt

I wanted to keep Black Claw looking buff, but also made her waist and neck slender to give her a more impossible look. I also exaggerated her animalistic eyes and gave her claw hand two colours instead of one to differentiate the sections.

#Monzaemon has always been one of my favourite #Digimon and it finally got a Mega. #ShinMonzaemon is a great design and I love how the entity that pilots its Ultimate is taking over its body. #FanArt #DigimonFanArt

Monzaemon is slumped over with the thing inside it seeping out from the zipper on its back. I coloured the thing like ShinMonzaemon's goop.

I drew ShinMonzaemon waddling along while charging tis clawed arm for a slash.
