Freaky Myrnins

I don't think I've ever shared my pre-doodles for working out a style for my comic, but have some hecking weird Myrnin doodles as well as the color palette I use for him. Was trying to figure out what would scream 'slinky weird vampire man' so there's a lot of different attempts at that.

Set out a Myrnin. For obvious reasons, my blorbo. I love him. (Edit: Oh yeah. The comic. https://wcrpforums.com/thread/74644/last-real-new-page-21 )

Have you read/heard of the two DC Graphic novels, Galaxy: The Prettiest Star and Bad Dream: a Dreamer Story? (PS: If DC ever let you 2 do a graphic novel I would probably buy a million copies and never shut up about it adhksks)

I have heard of both Galaxy: The Prettiest Star (because Lunar Boy's been compared to it!) and Bad Dream: a Dreamer's Story (because Lunar Boy was on a Queer Books To Read in 2024 list with it!) and I'd love to read both!

Oh man!! Their MG/YA graphic novel imprint is so interesting to me, and probably the best fit for my writing and art style. I'm still probably not an exact match for DC overall but if I were to pitch something to that line (if you'll entertain me being a pitch salesman for a moment!):

I know people probably want me to do a Superman & Lois graphic novel, but with Smashes the Klan and Girl Taking Over, I'm sure Lois Liando would be a hard sell as it is! Not a bad thing, since both graphic novels are already excellent with great creatives attached!

Supersons MG graphic novel that focuses on both boys struggling with school life as a background supervillain plot looms. There's already a Supersons (behated) graphic novel so I'm sure I wouldn't be given this but I'd love a Supersons story that focuses on slice of life more, especially exploring both Damian and Jon's backgrounds as kids of the diaspora.

MARTIAN MANHUNTER MG/YA graphic novel give me either MG or YA I'm flexible!! If I'm not trusted with big-name characters, give me the obscure blorbo. Smashes the Klan committed to the portrayal of Superman as an immigrant, I want a graphic novel that portrays J'onn and Ma'al as first gen immigrants too! But unlike Superman, they don't pass as human and have far more othering alien customs. I can either give the twins space adventures or culture shock adventures on Earth. All while they're hunted by some martian bounty hunter! Would love to team up with a Black deaf creative for this. Martian deserves a good book,,,

Conner Superboy YA graphic novel ! Re-contextualize the 90s run's themes of superhero child celebrity shenanigans into a contemporary context that teens can relate to. Influencer culture, the way identities are sectioned off and commodified in the capitalism machine, Livewire as the reactionary villain with her own youtube channel/podcast, Conner going to school and NOT getting yanked out of it constantly! So much potential to refresh his cast for the modern age. Would also love to team up with a Black creative for this!!

Stay with me. John Constantine MG graphic novel. I know there's already a YA graphic novel (that isn't particularly beloved) but listen. Send young 12 year old Constantine to a haunted boarding school with an occult conspiracy mystery at the center of it. Imagine the vibes of Gotham Academy with the energy of Goosebumps meets the tone of Series of Unfortunate Events. Who is the golden child who haunts Constantine?? What is this mysterious backstory he has?? How will he upset his newfound school friends this time?? It's tragic you should look away,,,look away,,,

SO IF ANY OF THOSE SOUND INTERESTING, DC, HIT ME UP lmao. I'm often told "DC should pick you guys up" and that's always flattering! I have complicated feelings about what it would mean as a fanartist to get picked up, and the possible red tape that means for me interacting with fandom (that I've grown to love), but hey. We can have fun and imagine an Elseworld where I got picked up!

I am not Dead! Or at least, I'm not not updating my Five x Lila fic, which I have not done since April. But with the momentum of S4 blowing wind into my sails, I managed to finish it up. If you enjoyed the Thing, that was Five x Lila in S4, I invite you to try out this AU, based on the premise of Five and Lila being paired up as partners at the Commission. I started this series all the way back in 2022. This is the 3rd story in the series. Please enjoy!

A preview:

SLAM!

Number Five brushed his hands against each other after roughly shutting the trunk of their original stolen Chevy Impala they had managed to return to.

“Damn—heavier than ya’ look,” he groused to no one in particular. He placed his hands on the small of his back and bowed backward slightly, stretching out the sore muscles.

A physically augmented super-assassin, he may be, but he certainly wasn't getting any younger.

“How we lookin,’ Fuchs?” he asked as he leaned over to check on his partner.

THUNK! THUNK!

Five watched as two comically large masks were thrown over her shoulder and onto the asphalt—an orange-furred fox with a wide grin and lolling tongue; the other, a blue-toned and behatted rabbit smoking a carrot like a cigar. Next came several rounds of ammo, an axe, a machete, a couple of hand grenades, that caused Five to hiss as they hit the ground, a 1962 Armalite AR-15, and an AK-12 Kalashnikov rifle.

“We are looking A-O.K.! Looks like everything is here and accounted for, Hase-luv!”

Lila’s voice was muffled by her position, leaning fully into the backseat, with half of her body inside an oversized duffle bag.

“Well, thank heavens for small mercies,” Five muttered as he glanced down at their briefcase sat at his feet.

Lila crawled backward, bending down to retrieve the oversized rabbit mask, and threw it at her partner like a bowling ball. It crashed into Five’s stomach, knocking the wind out of him with an oomph! He tried to frown at her grinning expression, but he couldn’t help but smile when she winked playfully.
