Some more costume designs for Flying Fish. I wasn't too fond of the fishnet gloves - overkill - but without them the costume was a little boring elementally speaking.
I added a simple line design element at the upper chest between the
symbol and upper-arm wing/fin attachment points. This element can also
be altered to make the costume a more flirty shoulderless number as seen below.
That last one still felt a little unfinished, however, so I added a line where the zipper was to make that element bolder, and decided the black rectangles should be 'skin windows' (that sounds terrible, but what else would they be called?) in addition I added some to the forearms for more design cohesion. I like this one the most so far - it feels 'retro' to me, like a sixties
superheroine, and the white hair and red cowl create a striking
contrast.
I like the exposed shoulders here against the orange; they didn't work with the red/white color scheme above. But I am torn between a black cowl and the orange one. The black brings out her face a little more, so I think I like it, but of course the orange all flows together as one cohesive unit.

The Flying Fish!
Another BubbaShelby original: Super Heroine of Sea and Sky: The Flying Fish! (first seen in this sketch posted August 2010.)
I modified the costume a bit from my original concept, making it a bit more 'wet suit' than 'tights.' And of course I added...
wait for it...
fish nets, naturally!
I first came up with the top color combo, but decided it appeared too 'Thing 1/Thing 2' so I went with the colors below. Still not fully committed either way. Thoughts?

Hello Dollface.
I'm not entirely sure I made this one up. i mean, if there isn't already a 1920s gangster themed character with a porcelain mask named 'Dollface' then someone dropped the ball.
So anyways, here's 'my' Dollface character, just a quickie sketch to be fleshed out a bit more later.

Harley Quinn on a skateboard
I finally got some colors on my Harley Quinn pencils/Charles Howell's inks. Now seriously contemplating this as a tattoo.

If you get this joke then you are my people.
Booster Gold/Blue Beetle commission (with Green Lantern Guy Gardner throw in for the 'punch'line) for my pal Tom.

Harley Quinn inked by Charles Howell
My good pal Chunky B aka Charles Howell of Eclectorama fame inked my recent Harley Quinn pencils - before me! He did an excellent job of it, and I need to add colors to his work soon, but I wanted to share the great work he did with my pencils.
P.S. I totally support folks inking/coloring over my pencils, so if you too are so inclined feel free, and email me with the results. I love to see this type of thing!
