Teen Titans

Titans Tower Nights Page 01

So, this comic has kind of a long and winding history. For a long time, I had been bouncing around a few ideas that would allow me the chance to “doll up” Beast Boy (sometimes it was Robin). I eventually settled on the idea of Beast Boy seducing Cyborg by going femme, and around that time in the cBox there rose up a discussion of doing a Beast Boy/Raven comic. Since Raven is frequently shipped with either Cyborg or Beast Boy (depending on if the shipper likes Terra, mostly), I thought that Cyborg/Beast Boy/Raven made sense as a threesome. So, I tweaked my existing setup to allow Raven to be involved, and then kept the idea filed away for a while. When I decided I was ready to do a new comic, I ran a poll asking all of you which one I should do and placed some of my favorites up to choose from. You picked TTN over two yuri ones, and here we are.

Hopefully it’s pretty clear what’s going on in this page… I wasn’t sure the best way to quickly convey the situation, but if there’s any confusion the second page should explain things when it comes out next year. In the meantime, though, I probably won’t be posting this page anywhere else until more of the comic has been released. It’s just for those of you who follow the blog until then! I hope you guys like it, for some reason I’ve been especially concerned with how this comic will be received.

Terra, Prisoner of Love

This is a commissioned piece I recently finished featuring Terra of the Teen Titans. The idea behind this picture is that Terra is “trapped” in these earth stocks but, since her power is to control earth, the implication is that she’s only as trapped as she wants to be. Hence, the seductive look she’s giving you, teasing you.

I’m not sure why, but somehow this picture was a lot easier to make than most of the pics I do. I’m not sure if it’s because there was only one character, or what, but when I got the description I was sure it would take longer than it did. However, I pumped it out in less than half the time I usually allot for for standalone pictures. Not that I’m complaining, mind you, as I’m still playing catch-up on some of my commissions. Hopefully we’ll be seeing a few of those pop up around here soon.

Camp Woody Ch. 1 – Camp Chaos Page 15

This is an additional page added in from what I had previously thought would be the end of the chapter. This page was drawn and colored by yours truly, though there is a draft by Linno for one more, final page of this chapter. I will be inking and coloring that draft into completion, so we can wrap this chapter up and hopefully move on to even more fun hijinks at Camp Woody!

Camp Woody Ch. 1 – Camp Chaos Page 13

So here’s the next page of Camp Woody, once again drawn by the fantastic Linno. I had a lot of fun coloring this one, even though I had to put it off for a little while. It’s all wrapped up now, though, and I can’t wait to get the next page and color it as well!

Bulma, Starfire & Katara

So… this is kind of an interesting story, I guess. First off, let me be clear that this is not part of the CrossOver Yuri series I used to do (and would like to resume at some point). No, this has a different origin. I was hanging out with two of my friends (who shall remain anonymous), and had a “brilliant” idea. You see, I have on my laptop a 29 GB folder full of pictures grabbed from Reddit, 4chan and various other places that I use either for reference or inspiration in my work. I let one friend choose a picture from this folder, and then (without showing him the picture) let the other choose which characters would fill the roles. This picture is the end result. Coming at some point will be another picture where we repeated the process, but my friends traded jobs in the selection process.

Despite the silly origin, I actually like this picture a whole lot. Sure, there’s no reason for these three characters to be together, but I like it anyway. Hopefully you will, too.

Camp Woody Ch. 1 – Camp Chaos Pages 11-12

So now we’re finally back to seeing pages drawn by Linno, the original artist of the chapter who got me interested in the comic. I was pretty excited to color these pages, so I ended up burning through them pretty quickly. Hopefully you guys can enjoy them as much as I enjoyed coloring them. 😀

July ’12 WWOTM – Madame Rouge

The WWOEC Woman of the Month for July of 2012 is Madame Rouge of the Teen Titans animated series. I gotta say, I’m not really a fan of the character. Maybe it’s her angular design, or just the way her face was animated when she changed shape, but I always found her a bit too squicky to get off to. However, I try to do the WWOTM every month, and she was no exception. Hopefully the Madame Rouge fans out there will appreciate it, and forgive me for not having her stretching in the image (since I imagine that’d be a kink for most Rouge fans).
