Description yeah, a really scrappy sketch I did on Manga Studio. But I wanted to show you folks how much my style has uh...changed? Well, not completely, I still draw anime, but I'm finally getting the hang of drawing a semi-realistic style. I'm quite happy with Dick here...his hair hates me though...

Tis Dick Grayson (Nightwing) with the long hair and Jason Todd (Red Hood/Red Robin) with the frown at the breakfast table. Yeah, what table? I'm mostly practicing realism and at the same time, was inspired by Stalinglim's alternate fanfic M&M verse which features a dysfunctional but still loving Batman family.

Does Dick look older than Jason? He's supposed to be. (Dick's 26 at the least, while Jason's 20 at the least. ) I tried drawing Dick as the most handsome one, since he's always drawn as gorgeous looking.

Jason...sadly not so much. But that's okay, he's a punk/thug. Actually he's more of a trickster type character, if you ask me. Reminds me of Puck from Gargoyles cartoon (anyone remember that one?) when he's not angry or brooding. *shakes fist at Countdown writers* At other times, reminds me of Kyo from Fruits Basket. Heh, one of these days I shall do a parody cosplay pic placing all the bat family in FB roles. XD

Anyhoo, sadly I'm in a terrible artist block. I can't get out of this rut. I'm on auto pilot, I can only do quick sketches and usually the realistic style that I've been trying to work on for the past half year...Don't know when I'll get back to finishing my old works.

In the meantime, here ya go! Semi-realism Batman sidekicks.

So awesome, it's hard to combine the clean-ness of anime and manga to realism but you did it well, also how do you color your other pieces, it's so clean!

Very nice renditions. And yes, Dick is officially the most gorgeous guy in DC. Being a Bat Ninja helps.

I don't know, Jason looks perfectly handsome to me. Then again, I like them more masculine/manly-looking, and not so pretty boy-ish. I'm one of those gals who thinks Lobo is hot. XD

I love your semi-realistic/western comic style. It's beautiful, but then, all of your art is.

jbramx2 In reply to xiaoniao [2009-03-07 04:29:16 +0000 UTC]

LOL! I like masculine guys too. XD and Jason is definitely the most manly of the Robins. He's just a hardcore kinda character. XD

hee! thank you! I'm happy to hear that! *beams*

By the way, do you take commissions?

*cheers for Jason Todd fans* He is sexy stuff, indeed.

*winces* I would if I knew I had time. I try not to take them because I know it takes me forever to finish one so I try not to take any. Sorry! ;_; Why? What did you want?

Mm-hmmmmm.

Oh, that's okay! No worries whatsoever. I was actually hoping to commission someone who could colour a few pictures in the near future (drawn and inked by me, of course XD), but if you're busy, I understand. I've just always loved the way you colour your pictures so beautifully. But again, you're busy, so it's okay. Thank you for letting me know!

I love the way you drew Dick, and Jason as well. I love how you made him younger-looking (as opposed to in the comics, where he looks like he's about forty :C). Gosh, now I want a Three's Company-type comic where Jason and Dick are roomies . . .

I love your style. Dick Grayson looks really handsome here, I think you pulled that off well. Jason looks good, too, heh. I always liked Jason. Never understood why the fandom hated him so much. T_T

But anyway! Awesome. <3

jbramx2 In reply to Enchantedd [2008-08-11 21:26:00 +0000 UTC]

Hee! Thank you! I'm happy to hear that. I always found Jason to be interesting. And yeah, the hatred for him is pretty sad. XD;; well okay I can get why some guys hate him. But I'm a girl, I'm made of more forgiving stuff I guess... I'd kill to write a Deadpool kinda series with Jason. He'd be a sympathetic funny anti-hero with pretty bad luck and a lot of people trying to kill him. (Basically it'd be a satire on the batman fans that wish he had stayed dead), except that the joke would be on the killers because the boy just can't die. (hey he came back from the dead via weird means, why not add invulnerability to the mix?) It'd be a funny series.

O_O

That would be a hilarious series. I know I'd love it. I'm a Jason fangirl all the way. I can understand why people hate him, too, but oh well... more for me. >D

Sigh. Now I want that series you were just describing. D: I demand that someone must make it. xD

Ha, if I was Jason I'd be all goooood moooorning right back at Dick! Probably followed by a...brotherly hug.

Dick does look older; I think his hair compared to Jason's helps. He kind of has a bit of a Takeshi Kaneshiro vibe going on.

I *really* like the realism. Usually, anime and realism don't blend very well but your style pulls it off nicely.

squee! thank you! happy to hear that. still working on it. men's hair is really tough to draw! Making them all look different is a pain too.
