2wo Beetles

How come that still reads as "two"? I mean it shouldn't. But it does! Weird... Alright, I been away for a bit (not that long really) so I got quite a few things lined up for the blog. I figure I'll just ration them out over the next week or so, just so it looks like I'm super busy. Can't give out everything at once...

So, what have we got today?  A little bit of fan art for all you comic lovers.

Ha! Screw You, blogger.com! I have circumvented your no uploading bullsh*t! Man will always triumph over machine! (and over programmer incompetence!)

Now, about this image (which I've been trying to upload ALL WEEK!): Anyone who knows anything worth knowing (yes,knowledge of all mainstream comic book superheroes is on that list) will recognise both figures as the Blue Beetle. The dude on the left is Ted Kord, the old Blue Beetle who died tragically and heroically during the epic Countdown to Infinite Crisis event a coupla years ago. And the one on the left (camera left, obviously) is Jaime Reyes, the new Blue Beetle, who got his costume n powers during the actual Infinite Crisis...

I won't even bother to explain the humour in this as it would take way too long, and quite truthfully isn't that funny anyway. But, I will discuss the image itself: It's the first image I coloured in Photoshop (all previous images were done in Illustrator).  I gotta say it took some getting used to, but in the end I found it much easier, and therefore much faster. I still haven't actually timed myself (I take way too many breaks!) so I can't even give a loose time-frame,not that that would be of any interest to you,but still...It's also one of the first images I drew specifically for the purpose of working on it on muh PC. Instead of just tweaking old images... Not that there's anything wrong with that!

Oh! Look out for the Blue Beetle TV show that's about to drop soon. It focuses mainly on the Jaime Reyes Beetle. Trailer looks dope. I don't know much about it,but I think it's gonna be along the lines of Smallville (hopefully with less f*king about!) although it's probably gonna follow the comic book storyline pretty closely. 

And that's about it, I think.  That marks the end of the biggest geek freak out session so far. Hopefully I haven't just lost half muh followers, bringing the total down to about... ONE! Next one might be more accommodating...but probably not!
