Description ...here is one of my latest commissions for a fellow deviant member-challenge with this one was the Question's mysterious "living" mist that is part of his persona-plus it's the first time that I rendered this ole' Charlton Comics character.

The Question is awesome--at least based on his JLU appearances. I remember in the commentary of his debut episode "Fearful Symmetry," Bruce Timm & co. said they felt like after making this episode that they could build a whole series around him. I wish!

Oh, Starfire's nice, too, I guess. Odd combo, those two.

-thanks for the nice comments man, have seen the Question in the background of some JLU-United episodes but have never seen the episode you mentioned, though it was an interesting series ,shame it's no longer on...

He only had a few cameos in the last season, but in the first season box set he has a very memorable starring role early on and then goes on to be a central figure in the plot in the episodes building up to the climax. He's my favorite JLU character. I highly recommend renting, netflixing or even buying the first set of JLU--it's one of the best adventure cartoons ever made, IMO. (It does help to have seen Justice League first, though.)

That is soooo cool! Did you ever draw Raven? She's my favorite! But I sooo love The Question. Here's some random factoids about him:

His name is Vic Sage
On JLU, he is dating Huntress
In the comics, he is dead, and was replaced by Gotham City detective Rene Montoya (Which I think really sucks...)

SURFACEART In reply to SailorBetch [2008-07-15 05:11:08 +0000 UTC]

-no she's not in my galleries-yet.
I drew a few times in the past at conventions as requests-closest thing I have to her in this gallery is "Nightveil" who is similar in nature/powers to "Raven" but belongs to another company altogether....AC Comics.

NO DON'T!!!! I like it when you talk all medeval! It makes me giggle. *tee-hee* I laughed my ass off at the "Yon gallery" part. LOL! Thanks, that'll be uber awesome! I can't wait to see it! Trigon is a douche-bag..... HEY!!! Have you read the new RAVEN comic? It's a monthly DC special. The story is okay... but I do NOT like the artist. He uses WAAAAAY to much forshortening, and his colors are a little too flamboyant. The panels have way too much crap going on in each one. It's a little hard to look at after a while, and I think he needs to take in down a couple of notches. I read that if you overdo forshortening, it loses it's impact pretty quick, and boy, I TOTALLY understand that now. However, I appreciate that he's got a style all his own, but it's just not my cup of tea. Did you know that Raven's real name is Rachel Roth? At least this time it is. Appearantly, she keeps getting reincarnated..... hmmm......

-no haven't read a new comic in some time now,will have to check it and see what you're referring to as far as the art goes...might be a young artist at the helm earger to make an impression which is all well and good as long as you don't overdo it.
The colorist will be a different artist altogether.Last "new" book I read was "Pride of Baghdad" a well conceived and executed graphic novel-I highly reccomend it.
Now I really must harken to thine beer wench for yet another tankard of Meade, many pardons my Lady...

YAY!!!! Medeval mumbo-jumbo!!! AH! I love it! Yeah, I know the colorist is a whole different guy, but the way I see it, the penciler must have known that those over-the-top colors would only add to the initial impression of his work. Maybe he felt that subtle colors would defeat the whole purpose of the high-powered drawings, but I think toned down colors would have complimented it. Or, at the very least, made it a little more easy on the eyes... Thank you for the reccomendation, I will have to look into it someday! Thanks Shawn!

the Question wears a artificial skin over his face that forms a featurless mask, hence no eyes,mouth,nose..etc.
