#Lor Zod

[cer-rata]

So a little bit ago I wrote this one-shot about all of the Kryptonian spawn I care about (and an alarming guest) trying to have a good time. And because once again, I have no self control, I got the wonderful @fiyaharts to draw a piece for it. She's lovely, and wonderful to work with and you should check out her craft.

Variant under the cut!

[ image description: Digital fanart of an omega Kon-El wearing civilian clothes and holding a toddler-aged pup Lor-Zod. Both are smiling at each other. Kon is purring and Lor is saying “Jeju!” Hints of an El crest are visible both on Lor’s shirt and inside the collar of Kon’s jacket. ]

Jay is gonna extend the time of Bart being grounded for the rest of his LIFE.

Poor Bart, bro... This is kind of a dump because i havent posted in a while but also i just LOVE their Father/son and Found family dynamic. So i made this little sketch of Jay finding out Bart brawled with a kryptonian.

Idk, i just love them:)

From the ashes the Nightwing will rise..

Just a simple thing I did..

[jellyfishjuliet]

dang now im thinking of some looney tunes shit where clark gets slammed with ALL of his pre-flashpoint memories, proceeds to have a mental breakdown, and then decides to hightail it to jekuul to bring back chris, except nobody ELSE remembers chris, so now clark’s on the green lantern’s radar on child kidnapping charges, zod and ursa have a nuclear parenting moment and decide they’re gonna kill superman to get their kid back, and nobody on earth can understand why superman kidnapped zod’s kid except for dr. fate who aint sayin shit cuz that’s none of his business. cue all them daggon kids in the fortress cuz everybody lookin for superman….. meanwhile lor zod thinks he’s about to get punted back into the phantom zone cuz the fortress was where he came out of it. hilarity ensues, plenty of misunderstandings, jon thinks his dad cheated on his mom with ursa, the twins are confused, kara and kon are soooooo confused. that custody battle arc…… give it to meeeeeee

Sinister Sons #4

I honestly did not anticipate Sinson and Lor running into Sinestro so relatively soon so issue #5 is likely going to be very explosive.

Lor and Sinson haven't known each other long, they're not even friends but they have formed something of a familiarity and a bond during the few hours they have been trapped together. Their banter is genuinely entertaining and I am delighted that despite everything - Lor CAN show that he is in fact, a kid.

Sinson meanwhile for all his desire to be like Sinestro and to prove he is a really a TOUGH GUY™ he has deep empathy and has shown compassion for other orphans and the space whale.

I am curious how the next two issues will go. Sinestro no doubt will likely have word on what happened to Zod and his new home, I wonder if that will get back to Lor.

All very good building here and I see how this is starting to come together.

The writers have already said we're NOT getting a happy ending so... it leaves me worried for Lor and he will be killed off to further Zod's mental decline as the LAST of his family.

some lor-zod edits because that fuckass side shave made me wonder what he'd look like with a full head of hair

Me and bestie after building an AU where Chris Kent is not evil and gets dropped down into Metropolis just like in the original story and adopted, but becomes Jon’s twin brother and gains a charming, sassy attitude and becomes besties with the batkids:

Cerata's 2024 End of Year Artist shoutouts! (part 1)

Okay so this year was the first time I'd really participated in fandom in over a decade, but I'm truly glad I did because I met a ton of great people, and even got to work on projects with some of them. So I wanted to put all of the cool visual art that I've received last year, whether it be art trade, commission, part of an event, or...fanart? Because that happened somehow?

Anyway, there are a number of other people that I worked with last year, but a bunch of that art started near the end of the year, and as such is not finished yet, hence why this post will be two parts, one now, and the second when everyone else finishes up.

No particular order, all of these artists are great, and lovely people, so do go check out the rest of their work and tell them how cool they are, yeah? Also, some are currently open for commissions, so keep an eye out for that.

(Also, this is my first time trying to do ID text, so bear with me if they're a little rough, despite being a writer, I hate words?)

So first we have @fiyaharts with a lovely illustration of a number of the my favorite Krypton and Krypton-adjacent children. Shadi is lovely to work with and fast to the point where it spooked me a little bit, go off girl.

Next we have two pieces from my favorite Evil Woman Apologist, @vivictory-draws, one of a divorced Barbara and Kara being totally normal about it, and the other of my child and blorbo that haunts my waking hours, Conrad. Love N to death, which is why I haunt her with threats of commissioning Joker/Desaad Yaoi.

...Maybe for the next list, who knows...

So next we have the art created for the last @womenincomicsminibang (which is going to be returning with a reverse bang in a few months, keep an eye out on that.)

The lovely and evocative cover was done by the talented @breakingthespacetimewall, and the scenes of Cassie trying and failing to get her life together were done by the wonderful @soop-jpg

Working with them was a pleasure and honor, and their dedication and kindness really helped me through finishing that fic, and I remain incredibly grateful for that.

The first person I worked with this last year, and the one who really helped solidify the core of a lot of my projects, @nicodrawings drew a glorious cover for my mania-induced first longfic, and also a character reference for the aformentioned disordered young man who haunts my waking hours. She's a professional through-and-through, with wonderful instincts and great communication. She's also working on a fan-comic project of her own that I think is wonderful and am excited to see continue.

I lucked out and was paired with the super chill, super talented @byeara on my first fan project ever, and they hooked me up with this super fun and detailed cover for the fic I wrote for that one kon-centric minibang. I loved working with them, and would love to do so again, logistics willing.

This jerk @vnekey made me cry by drawing really sweet, totally unexpected fanart for that mania-fic I wrote. I'm still a little speechless really, I'd never gotten fanart of any sort for any reason before, and to receive something so lovely as the first thing really touched me deeply, and honestly kept me writing through some rough patches.

...Fight me!

My first ever art trade! Kind of! @spider-jaysart is super sweet and supportive and made my...second biblically (is there a Source bible? Are there religious Coluans?) cursed son and his hapless, frankly narratively cursed best buddy look so precious that they ALSO made me cry, can we stop that actually--

Speaking of my cursed son and his narratively cursed Kryptonian, @spicy-apple-pie created this really pretty piece that's...a number of weird deep cuts smushed together into something really specific, but neat if you have the context, which nobody does :3

She was so wonderful and patient and I really enjoyed seeing her run with her inspiration, the Kryptonian mural is super neat and not something I would have ever come up with on my own.

@mediaraiz Is really stylistically flexible, and their "Blob" style really scratched that itch I had for something cute and playful, and they were so game in taking on a larger project, and then went above and beyond in making my lanterns looks truly special.

Finally (for now), @riverdeansart drew a sweet little scene of two horrifyingly stressed totally fine spacebros chilling and chatting about how everything is completely okay!

I was super vague about this one and Dean did a great job getting the vibes right anyway, and with haste.

...So yeah, that's if for now! I'll circle back in a bit when I'm forced to let more artists out of my basement everything else is done!
