NIGHTWING (& Flamebird) CHRONOLOGY

the original nightwing & flamebird in all their glory:

this is what Clark (& Jimmy) named themselves after in Kandor.

After a few adventures with Jimmy, Clark's cousin and Clark's cousin's nephew-in-law became the new Nightwing & Flamebird

Ak-Var has dark brown hair and no fredkles. Clark and Van-Zee look almost identical

The next Nightwing is probably the most known one:

it's Dick Grayson

After COIE, Bette was reintroduced as never being Bat-Girl (I think YJ98 recanonized it?) so instead she's flamebird:

they also flanderized her a lot in Wolfman's titans things iirc

COIE also erased a lot of Krypton stuff so now we get a new kryptonian Nightwing

he's more based on Dick Grayson. This is the only kryptonian nightwing without a flamebird

Also in the 90s they start trying to bring back the superior Pre-crisis Krypton lore back so Clark and Lois go into the past and visit Krypton

it later was retconned to be a brainiac plot

After Infinite Crisis two more people use the Nightwing mantle over in Nightwing

Jason Todd,

who becomes a tentacle monster

and also Cheyenne Freemont becomes a Nightwing for a bit

I think she has some telekinetic blast powers or something

the next Nightwing & Flamebird is Kara and Karen (I don't think she's kryptonian again yet)

The yellow one is Flamebird (Kara)

The red one is Nightwing (Karen)

the next duo were originally intended to be Kon & Linda

but they changed them to Chris and Thara Ak-Var (we don't know the exact reason why)

This is also when we get our third explanation for Nightwing's name and is also our final Flamebird

Nightwing (Kryptonian god)

Flamebird (Kryptonian god)

(As a sidenote, the different incarnations of Krypton all have different religions some of which evolve into entirely new ones)

And then there's only one group left

The Nightwings who tried to keep up as Nightwing when the whole Ric situation was happening

“I'M VERY ASHAMED to admit it, but I gradually came to hate her, quietly and feebly. Maybe it was the hatred of an adventurer for an escapade that hadn't lived up to his expectations, that hadn't come off, an irresolvable subconscious bitterness at the fact that she was a servant and not the lady of the house. I don't know. One thing is certain; along with the gratitude I felt to Jenny, I also detected in myself the first twinges of antipathy for her. She had revived a corpse, and the corpse, having come back to life, at once resumed its nasty little tricks, as you see, and instead of gratitude, concealed a bitterness toward the girl who had found him on her doorstep.” - Edward Limonov, ‘His Butler’s Story’ (1987) [p. 91]

Got the new issue of Vogue which had a big interview with the original supermodels - Linda Evangelista, Cindy Crawford, Christy Turlington and Naomi Campbell. (still all stunning) plus interviews with Colleen Rooney + Charlotte Tilbury. I wonder how the magazine's going to fare now Edward Enninful is moving on as editor.

I’m not even a Conan aficionado, but I’d totally buy a print… This weirdly (or not) tickles my inner-ever-burne-jones-fan-self………

The Depths of the Sea, 1887.

Phyllis and Demophoon, 1870.

My original cover painting for the San Diego Comic Con exclusive CONAN from Titan Comics.

I'm very sorry I won't be there for the signing. Not long ago I was joking about my schedule and how I kinda wished I could cancel going to the show so I could stay home and catch up on work.

Be careful what you wish for.

Anyway, this is pen and ink with watercolor.

I use the amazing Dr. Martin's Black Star Ink and crowquill pens. This is my very favorite black ink. It is rich and deep and does not budge when you paint over it. It also gives you large areas of pure, glorious black with a minimum of streaking.

I realize a lot of people don't like inking with crowquill pens, but I find a little practice will bring outstanding results and more character in the line than you can get out of technical pens.

Pens last longer if you clean them with a sonic cleaner. I am lucky enough to have a thirty-year-old unit that is still going strong, but any modern sonic jewelry cleaner will do the same job. Add a touch of pen cleaning fluid and the gunk on your points will be gone in a few minutes.

I only use antique points that I have hoarded for many years. Some of my crowquill points are a century old. The metal and manufacture is superior to what you are likely to find today.

My paints are Daniel Smith Watercolors. I can't say enough good things about them. Superior pigment load, fantastic color and style range, glorious iridescent and semi-precious stone pigment line, archival, lightfast, superior in every way in my experience.

Not going to lead you on about these, they are expensive, but worth every penny. They last a long time and I am especially happy with my watercolor pan set which is easy for painting while I travel.

I also used them to paint the entire 64 page CHIVALRY graphic novel, and didn't even come close to running out of a single small tube of paint. A little goes a long way.

And here is the CONAN cover with trade dress.

I did this about 6 months ago and had to keep it a secret all this time. I'm a fan of Robert E. Howard, and wanted to do something in the style of Barry Windsor-Smith, and thoroughly enjoyed working on this piece.

Black Parade Mask 

* Handmade Papier Mache Mask sourced from Mexico by Colleen Atwood and worn in the filming of My Chemical Romance’s “Welcome to the Black Parade” music video

Gerard Quote: “I got to keep some of the masks used in Sam Bayer’s music video for ‘Welcome To The Black Parade’, which was awesome. One of the things Sam was able to do was introduce me to Colleen Atwood, one of the most celebrated costume designers in Hollywood, after I expressed a great interest in working with her on the band’s Black Parade uniforms, which I had been making doodles of for a couple months. The first thing to know about Colleen is that she’s not only insanely talented, she is one of the kindest, sweetest human beings I have met in my life, and I am very grateful we became friends through working together. I also learned a ton from her, and after the shoot and the working experience, I desperately wanted to become an apprentice of hers– just to hang out and make stuff and keep learning. A little background on Colleen is that she has been working on films for many years. She has received several Academy Awards for costume design, and she is the woman responsible for dressing the characters in everything from Memoirs of A Geisha to Edward Scissorhands, creating his iconic look for the film, along with the rest of the cast and many others. Colleen had discovered a group of mask-makers in Mexico that she loved, of which she asked to make her hundreds of masks for the shoot. I remember her explaining all the reasons she was drawn to their work, what she thought was special about them in their simplicity. I thought they were great, and it was truly a sight to see the scores of extras wearing them during the shoot, making up the bulk of the ‘black parade’. Over the years I have given one or two of these away, and I brought the remaining masks to the video shoot, ‘A Summoning’ as props or set-dressing easter-eggs. The Summoning video was used to accompany the announcement for MCR’s 2020 Reunion Tour, which would have been a very different experience had it occurred. After this finds a new home, I believe I will have three left.” - G (x)
