[DC Comics] Truly, A Missed Opportunity For An Iconic Duo

Test- can you see me

Another old sketch I decided to color in. This time of Coraline.

Played around a lot with shading and background on this one.

Let me tell you picking the color pallete... yeah does’nt need to be discussed.

BG from Laika Twitter. 

I saw this step-by step tutorial of how to Gird Your Loins and it needed to be readjusted. 

Old Screenshot redraw from 2019 that I lost track of when I went to color it now. So here’s three versions of the same boy that I had fun fiddling around with.

(Totally did not impulsively decide to draw the other two on a whim of miscoloration.)

Would love to here your thoughts and which one is best? 

I love when people make posts and head cannons about Billy being just a little weirdo and none of the leaguers know what to make of him. 

Like he just casually mentions that a wizard gave him god powers, like that’s a normal thing, can wizards even do that???? 

he can speak any dead language you can think of but his handwriting is atrocious in all languages and he types with his pointer fingers.

he can hold his own against superman but only has like three villains he fights on the regular?? those being a caterpillar, an old man and a guy with his costume and powers but in black??

he just looks weirdly like an archeologist that died mysteriously like eight years ago, they’re not the same person (probably) but its still weird right??? 

he has a tiger??? named tawky tawny??? not sure if its a magic tiger or just a tiger but he’s there sometimes??? 

one of his villains is a caterpillar with glasses and a voice box? he says its really an alien from Venus that can control peoples minds but its also still the size of a caterpillar?? Its one of his greatest adversaries apparently. 

he always bumps into things a lot, almost like he’s not totally aware of his size.

he claims his powers come from gods but knows almost nothing about them. 

he sometimes brings up the rock of eternity like its a normal thing???? the magic users say its an ancient epicentre of magic but he says its just a dingy old cave in a subway??

How it started

How it's going

[DC comics] these doodles are sooo messy but anyways them saving each other’s asses since day one >>>

When Billy Batson's identity gets exposed why doesn't he just... lie. Like, nothing else he comes up with is going to be more unbelievable than the homeless ten year old with a magical girl transformation that turns him into a giant himbo of an indestructible demigod. Just. Lie, Bill. No one is going to know the difference. If they didn't clock you then, they're not going to clock you now.

"I pissed off a witch and she cursed me. It gets overridden when I use my powers—you know, 'blessings of the gods' and all—but I haven't figured out how to get it totally off yet. Great for free ice cream tho."

"Billy Batson died five years ago and I'm the last figment of his imagination"

"C.C. and Marylin Batson stumbled across my tomb during a expedition and now I just look like this."

"I was created ten years ago from the ambient magic in the Rock of Eternity."

"I age really, really slowly."

"Zeus thought it would be funny."

"I made a bet with Klarion and lost."

"This is how I looked when I died."

"My species just ages like this. Are you telling me you don't? How was I supposed to know I should mention it!"

"You ever seen the movie Freaky Friday?"

"It's rude to ask a lady her age!"

("It's rude to what?!)

If this post gets 30 notes I will draw Billy doing gremlin activities in the Wayne Manor.
