Villains: Geoffrey Seid

A Clockwork Purple

Suicide Squad: Get Joker #1

My recreation of Anarky from Detective Comics #964

I’m currently writing an Elseworld’s Batman story set in the 1870s wild west. Bruce Wayne comes to Gotham, a seaside town ravaged with crime and gang violence. The worst criminal of them all is The Laughing Man, a flamboyant psychopath who loves violence & art. He also leads the most violent gang in Gotham. When he runs into Bruce in his “Black Bat” persona, he’s enamored with this freak who dresses in a ridiculous costume and punches criminals in the face. He now has a new trajectory: find a way to spend time with this weirdo.

My Redesign of Katana (Beware The Batman)

I suppose I've been on a sort of "Beware The Batman" kick recently. Yesterday I redrew the show's interpretation of Anarky. Today, I did the same for my favorite character from the show: Tatsu Yamashiro a.k.a. Katana. Tatsu is easily one of the best characters in the show; a former CIA mole in the League of Assassins who stole the Soul-taker Sword and faked her death when she discovered how powerful it was. She was then hired by her godfather Alfred Pennyworth as Bruce Wayne's bodyguard, a job that she excels very well at. After the League of Assassins made their way to Gotham and infiltrated Wayne Manor, they discovered Tatsu was not only alive but also possessed the Soul-taker Sword, they make it their mission to kill her and get the sword back. Long story short; they fail and Tatsu finds out that Bruce Wayne is Batman, who then takes her under his wing as his new partner in crime-fighting, Katana. Tatsu works very well as a contrast to Batman: stubborn, feisty, a tad arrogant, and more than a little stand-offish. But underneath it all, she is clever, quick-witted, good-natured, compassionate, self sacrificing, and truly heroic.

Though I certainly love Katana, I will admit that she has one truly noticable flaw: her design. I understand that computer animation was different back then (especially when you don't have quite enough of a budget to do more visually), but her design is quite boring. Tatsu never changes her clothes throughout the entire series. She doesn't even really have a "Costume". She just wears the same leather jacket and high-heel boots (which just seem impractical for her), but puts on a domino mask and sword strap when she becomes Katana. So I decided to fix that. My idea wasn't to just give her a samurai outfit, though. I instead took inspiration from her history in this universe as a CIA operative and gave her something a spy might wear. Instead of her outfit being all black, it's a reinforced black leather jacket and pants with red ribbing along the sides to add a bit of color. I got rid of the high heels and replaced them with black combat boots, like Batman. I also added black gloves and a utility belt to her outfit to break up all of the black and red, but also to give it a more tactical look. I also gave her a hair bun, as it just seems impractical to let her hair hang down and wave about during combat.

What do you think? Does it look better or worse? Tell me in the comments.

Another redesign of The Riddler: The Question Mark King

I was looking through some of my drawings from when I was much younger and discovered this really shitty drawing of a cool design I made for Riddler. I decided to redo it in my current style. What do y’all think?

It's almost ready.....

I also redesigned Riddler to look like a Cyberpunk character.

Villains: Eternity (Ramsey Rossmo)

In an attempt to travel back in time to visit his dead wife, Dr. Ramsey Rossmo uses an experimental time machine to relive his happy years with her. Unfortunately, he winds up finding out that him traveling back in time is the reason why his wife died. While trying to adjust history to fix his mistake, his machine malfunctions and sends him back to the beginning of the universe, wherein he was frozen in stasis, just watching time pass him by. He couldn’t go forward to when he was born, nor back before he got caught in stasis. All he could do was watch time pass him by. He saw the birth of the first organism, the first fish to crawl onto dry land, the first homosapien walk on two legs, the first decipherable language spoken, the first war, the first civilization, and everything that led up to where everyone was in the future. During his time in stasis, he realized that there was no god, and he came to the conclusion that every religious war was completely pointless. He finally fell out of stasis when he caught up to his time period, that being 2179. After coming out of stasis, he claimed to be a time god, and that he was here to prove that all of our petty squabbling over religious beliefs were all for nothing. He then gained a massive amount of followers, and they proceeded to lay siege to all of Harking City’s religious institutes, burning down every church and religious gathering. After they massacred an entire hate church full of Neo-Nazis, his “Religion of Eternity” gained a massive cult following. They even beheaded the Archdeacon of the Christian Church, and hung all of the priests from the roof. They were eventually stopped by Bonfire, who was an Atheist, too. 

Who knew a misanthropic eco-terrorist could be so zen?
