Company Mandated Fancy Fits on the Tulpar 😏

Also had to include the REAL star of the show (and a bonus)

Based off of this and this. Thank you very much joetastic for being inspirational 👍

Laughing at the rough thumbnail for this panel in my comic VS the actual panel:

Start that comic

#Silver & Iron #it's still not 100% finished I generally go back and do another pass to build up lines and add tone/fix mistakes #but the bulk of it is done #full transparency for those who would like to do similarly: the car is drawn over a model by fvrenbld on SketchFab #which is released under a creative commons license which allows me to use it this way #the house I built myself in The Sims 2 after. much research into the architecture I wanted etc #since I plan on continuing to use it as a set for other scenes so it's actually like. fully built and laid out #but the details are all different so the sims build itself is basically just a bunch of 3D shapes #to help with proportion and perspective #nothing is identifiable as copyrighted to the Sims any more. it's just shapes now #I took screenshots of both the house and the car model at the right angles/perspectives that I wanted #tweaked those screenshots together a little further until they had the right 'look'#then drew over them in this panel. the rest of the elements (steps/garage/landscaping etc) I drew myself #with some reference to google street view but nothing to the degree of the car and house #you can find lots of 3D models with licenses that will allow you to modify them #(in this case with accreditation) and then you can use them in this way in your own comic!#so long as you have the right to use the resources you use: go ahead and use them #professional comics artists have assistants to help with backgrounds and props and inking etc #and this is a way you can assist yourself as a lone artist #I don't personally use 3D models for figure drawing but they exist too #there are lots of free or affordable resources out there to help you make your comic! you don't have to be able to do everything yourself!!

I've been brewing this post for far too long in my drafts, but I need more doomed!Bruce and Jason throughout universes. And it is not even always about the same Jaybin, dying in the warehouse scenarios!

Sometimes Jason is just a kid, who died in front of Batman, who maybe jumped in between Batman and the villain recklessly, to keep him safe, and whose blood stuck under Bruce's nails. His face haunts him in nightmares, still.

In other realities, Bruce meets Jason as a teen, and they never even get to become father and son officially - but they slowly get into each other's lives, until something awful happens, leaving a ghost of a smirking kid stroll behind Bruce's hunched figure for the rest of his life.

Or maybe it is one of these realities, where Jason crawls out of the Alley Crime himself, and manages to become famous in Gotham; the one, where he opens a charity fond, dedicated to people, who fight with the drug addiction. Bruce Wayne is sympathetic of a kid he meets during some of the events, and as they slowly start contacting each other more often, getting closer, he promises himself to protect him. Expect, Batman is late to save Jason Todd from the hands of yet another villain.

It could be the priest Jason Todd that meets bleeding out Batman on the stairs of the church, and who helps him out, for what he later pays with his life. Or they are not really vigilantes in any of these universes - just father and son.

And in some of these universes, they reconcile. In one of them, some of the medics connect the dots that a catatonic boy, who is covered in dirt, calling for his dad, for Bruce is Bruce's Wayne dead son, and try calling him. In another, LoA!Jason with his memory still being in a haze, crosses his path with Batman, before getting dipped in the Lazarus Pit.

But the point stands.

In all of them, Bruce Wayne is too late. In all of them, Bruce Wayne fails to save Jason Todd.

#i actually have a specific scenario in my head #basically early 20tish Jason who works as a bartender in Alley Crime #and Bruce (still Batman) who never picked up anyone after Dick #but his relationship with Dick is still strained #they try to mend things but more often than not they can't find a common ground #Bruce once visits this bar where Jason works too tired and mourning his parents that day and Jason amuses him #Jason not instantly understands Bruce is Wayne until he leaves him tips higher than 1k dollars lol #Bruce starts visit more #Jason shares his lore a little - he was picked up by the owner of the bar as a kid #they talk about books and about the fact that Jason saves money for college #Bruce helps him out ofc #he invites him to meet Alfred and Dick #everything is okay #and then... Joker happens #he takes Jason as a hostage bc he figures out that Batman knows the boy #Jason atp knows that Bruce is Batman but never confronts him about it #this time Batman comes in time #Jason tries to kill Joker but Batman stops him #so Jason doesn't kill him #they hug #and when they hug Joker shots Jason #of course Batman blames himself lmao #he might or might not fail to keep himself in check and kills Joker after this #but he instantly leaves his cowl behind because he can't allow himself to live with what happened #if you want a happy ending red hood can return in the same manner as in canon but without beefing bruce ofc #jason todd #bruce wayne #red hood #batman

ok. destructor's lair was probably the book of my dreams. like all my favorite tropes. god damn. im not well actually. i think its funny to imagine june and dirk doing literally nothing back on earth

#tlkoe #the last kids on earth #tlkoe fanart #jack sullivan #quint baker #june del toro #dirk savage #rover tlkoe #tlkoe rover #i also find it insane to think that. the current moment book 10 left off on. june and dirk have NO clue what happened back there #AND HEY DOES ANYONE WANT TO DISCUSS THE FACT PART OF JACK DIED??? like bardle literally told him that to his face WHAT DOES THAT MEAN #i also dont think rover would do that if he met sort of servant jack. i think hed just get really sad but still recognize him bc hes smart #like he knows thats his boy. but something Awful has happened to him #double deal context >> a completely unformed au. but one ive been conceptualizing #saw someone mention the deal from nightmare king. and my thought is that was basically a one time offer. like get in early help rezzoch out #and hell protect you. but now jack is like firmly making a stance against him with stolen power and stuff i think rezzoch knows he couldnt #trust him. but double deal it think jack brings it back up and it reminds rezzoch this kid is SO easy to manipulate if u use his friends #jacks like ok well ill serve you if you protect my friends and BRING BACK QUINT and rezzochs like RIGHT THAT KID damn. ok yknow what. sure #and jack has effectively the same role as shallabal in f4 first steps #and like. rezzoch kind of just restores earth. they have to figure out how to get good monsters home but he makes everything normal and saf #so the rest of the kids go home with their families and just have this like. haunting reminder every time they see their families. jack #sacrificed himself for them to have that. also a kick in the ass bc jack has no family to remember him or even like statues like quint and #dirk. he was just an orphan no one wanted who sacrificed his humanity and life with his new family to save the world that kinda rejected hi #i called it double deal cuz like. its the two deals they attempted. rezzochs offer + jacks offer #i also want to say he ultimately does defeat rezzoch but itd be much more cosmic and complicated and i dont want to think that thru #other thought on book 10. i think jack is still not quite human. hes still the cosmic general. he doesnt have the arm but he has the powers #the hammer is like. a convenient amplifier. i think its cooler if jack is just sort of this brand new cosmic beast in a human body and even #he doesnt really know

i've been reading a lot of absolute universe comics and thus an absolute batgirl is absolutely necessary 🫡 (sketches under the cut)

#i think in this universe she doesnt get to escape cain as a child #she tries. obviously. a cass who doesnt try simply Isn't Cass #and she can get away for a significant amount of time sometimes #but he keeps finding her and bringing her back #trying to convince her he loves her and that what she's doing is okay #but she's cassie :( so she hates everything she's doing all the time and is constantly looking for an out #and she always hesitates before a kill in case they can get away without it being entirely obviously her fault #and maybe she gets sent against batman and she hesitates and he escapes. but he notes that she hesitated #and goes huh. well thats not very assassinlike.#and he escapes and SHE escapes (but is caught pretty quick and told to kill batman again. as a show of grace or something)#meanwhile bruce has been talking to alfred and alfred does one of his exposition dumps on this universe's david cain #and says that cassandra is a nameless assassin with bizarre patterns #and bruce figures out she doesnt WANT to be a killer #so then the next time she finds him. he tries to give her an out #but she hasnt learned to speak yet (bc cain) so his only way to communicate this is via charades . basically #and they escape together and somehow they figure out theyre both idealists who don't believe they should kill #and they unite against alfreds pessimism (bc alfred keeps saying bruce is going to realize the reality of what hes involved himself in soon #but NO!! bruce meets this girl who has been through so much and she's still so determined to not be what anyone has ever wanted her to be!!#alfred doesnt HAVE to be right. things DON'T have to be as undefeatable as he believes they are.#anyway cass makes her own batgirl suit as a symbol of their shared idealogy #and it's a little rough and weird because im imagining cain continues making her dress up before a kill (+ helps if she seems harmless)#so now she wants to be her own person and that means she wants to be intimidating and a little inhuman #i dont think theyre father and daughter in this bc bruce is like . early/mid 20s and im imagining cass is like 16-19 maybe ?#but i think they Can have that kind of . intense and strange familial relationship that bruce and dick have in the main universe #LONGEST TAGS EVER. OH MY GOD #cassandra cain #cass cain #batgirl #absolute batman #soop art

Hey y'all! I've got good news and bad news.

Good News: My birthday is coming up soon! (Feb 3rd)

Bad News: We will probably not be able to afford to celebrate it.

This is where you all, my friends, my mutuals, my friends of friends, come in.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could drop a couple bucks in the hat so that I may start a birthday fund so that I could cover things like a couple presents, maybe a slice of gluten free cake, etc.

Times are tough, though, so I will more than understand if you can't. But, if you still wanna cheer me on during my birthday, I'd appreciate that too. I don't have any IRL friends or family that speak to me anymore, just Randi and Juniper. It'll just be us 3 celebrating that day, so if you feel so inclined, just a simple happy birthday message would be appreciated more than you know.

Here's where you can throw dolla bills at me:

Venmo- @Mellodux

Cashapp- $Mellodux

PayPal- @MellodyLowman

Thank you again to everyone who can contribute financially towards making my special day specialer, and also to those who send well wishes. I am thankful for you all.

- Mellody Lowman 💜

#you heard it's my birthday #happy burthday #birthday #happy birthday #happy birthday to me #happy birthday to myself #BIRTH #I'm gonna be 30 years old #that's 3 decades #I know that's not a long time in the grand scheme of things #but whoo boy #I feel old #would I still feel this old if we didn't use a base ten numerical system?#maybe I'd only feel old like this at 36 if we used a base 12 counting system.#idk #but I don't feel as old or as responsible as I should #I still feel like some scared and confused child trying to figure everything out #and obviously that is strongly in part due to the fact that my parents heavily sheltered me until I was out of their house at 22 #I'm not proud to admit #but I'm basically the transgender equivalent of Brendan Frasier from that one movie where he lives underground until his 20s #and tbh I still feel like I'm trapped in that basement #waiting for the bombs to stop falling and the radioactive fog to clear #I don't think anyone will actually read these tags #but if you do #dm me #and let me know #I love you

not to name names but you can't say that your show prides itself on inclusivity and diverse casting and then have characters that we're supposed to be rooting for mock other characters for being "dim"

#like seriously you just can't #poor muriel #this made me so mad #they figured everything out basically at the same time as the leads with less evidence and still got relentlessly mocked #good omens season 3 #good omens spoilers #good omens 3 spoilers #good omens 3
