Description
The characters as they were when I first saw them...and how I coloured them, before making with the cutting and pasting and resizing and moving around and general indecisiveness.I made two little alterations on Jay Garrick because...I....uh....well because I was being a complete nerdy stickler!

Trial and error Lai. Trial and error.
It's common for me to lay down a colour and then put another colour next to it and not like it so go back and change it. And then I don't like how the new colour goes with the one next to it so I go change that too.
It can be an annoying and tiring process.

so i was about to say, "if i ever join another board where i need an icon, i may ask if i can use bart's headshot from this... but then i remembered that i hate it when people use other people's art for their icons."
and then i remembered... i fucking drew it
YOU SEE? your colours are so fantasmical you make me forget it started out as my crap!

But-but-but-but...it's quite obvious that you can colour circles around me! I'm like a flat colouring douche but you have the lights and shadows and the painty quality!!!
Error...error.........does.........not.........compute.....bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...
Maybe it's just your memories of it are in black and white so you're just not adjusted to seeing it in colour. Yeah...that's much more like it.

Yes...I noticed you forgot. Nah...I didn't notice, just can't help twisting those knives when I can.
I've finished making those requested changes and I'll replace the current versions as soon as I've finished using the search function to look for porn.

That's quite a compliment coming from the Grand High Poobah of Colour.

I thought something was fishy here. I was looking at it going, "Odd, that's not G's style. In fact it would appear to be Dakt's style. . ."
And it is!
I don't know what changes occured nor why, but it looks fantastico so I don't care.
You should color stuffs more often.

Really? If it were me...my first impression would've been "Jeez...this jackass is drawing in someone else's style in a vain attempt to get more attention."
The changes I made were only small so probably aren't that important. But I do need to correct some things...after it was pointed out where I went wrong.
I don't colour stuff more often because in my honest opinion I find my attempt at colouring to be lame. Worse than that even.
I can only stomach to look at that lameness every so often.

Then hopefully that means that my colouring has finally been put to rest and no-one will have to experience it again!
See what I did there? I used my inability to cope with compliments to turn it around so I wouldn't have to.
Nah...I said I wouldn't do that.
Sooooo...thanks.

okay now i'm wondering where i got the idea that he has the zigzag on his pants i musta seen it SOMEWHERE once and it got ingrained in my brain... MY BAD
but i beg to differ on the boots! in recent comics they're plain, but olde skool? [link] BOOT WINGS
and now i shall be a complete nerdy back atcha and point out that you coloured bart like wally bart has brown hair and golden eyes. red hair and green eyes are strictly wally. i request modification because bart's gold eyes are like my favourite part of him.
but other than that.... OMFG COLOURS!!!! they're so clean and professional... it makes my lines seem almost worthy

I don't mean to laugh because I'm very disappointed that I screwed up on Bart...but I like that you insist I change it.
That's the kind of nerdy dedication that makes me all warm and fuzzy.
I was using Rebirth as a colour guide and he did have gold eyes in that...but it had all lightning coming off them so I thought that the gold was an effect of the speed force or something.
'Cause you know...I've never seen anyone with gold eyes before.
But enough of my excuses...I will make the modifications.
I didn't change Jay's boots because I thought they were wrong. It was just a personal choice. I like his floppy wingless boots. I wasn't gonna change it but I kept going back and forth on it and then thought "Bah...I've changed his pants...might as well do the boots too."
I can change those back too if you prefer.
Your lines ARE worthy! That's why I feel like a douche for not honouring them!

you always tell me i need to be more up front and demanding about my nerdyness, and as a geek padawan it's my duty to follow my master's instructions
meh, you can leave jay as is, i don't mind it's right either way so my nitpicker sensors aren't going haywire
but bart i'll defend to the death
it's one reason why i generally dislike that he became kid flash... because now people doesn't see him as bart, just as "kid flash", which is why he gets coloured improperly a lot
speaking of, it also occurs to me that i think his head wings are red
i can't find any decent pics on the interwebs to reference because when you google it you get thousands of versions of the same two pics; one which is coloured improperly and the other that's covered in lightning but according to my TPBs and other swag, they should be red
you'd only be a douche if you got mad at me for correcting you that happened to me once... and i was joking too. she freaking flew off the handle; it scared the shit out of me

I do? Wow......GO ME!!!
That sounds like something I would want to tell people...but I didn't know I had actually been doing it.
I did something awesome today.
Now that you say it...maybe it was the whole "Kid Flash" thing that was interferring with my thought processes. That name probably just automatically brought up some kid Wally images from my vault and I felt satisfied in using them. I think that they probably made him Kid Flash to get the whole "family" tie going.
NOT THAT I'M SAYING THERE WAS ANYTHING WRONG WITH IMPULSE!!! I-I-I-I'm just saying that to make it clear for the non-enlightened they probably wanted to make it more obvious that this speedster is linked to these other ones.
His wings are red? Hell...if you say their red then they're red. I would never demand proof when it comes to all things Bart.
I wouldn't get mad either.
Well...I would but I'd do it in that non-threatening egotistical pussy way that I do things.
Someone corrected me once, flying off the handle about it too. I didn't even do anything but draw a picture and they came at me with knives because "I know everything about this stuff and I hate it when people get it wrong!!!"

Well I've been a little surprised by how quickly and undramatically he and Superboy have returned. I mean...when they appeared there was that big splash money shot page but I don't know. It was just kinda...so casual.
"Damn...Superboy Prime is kicking our asses. Oh look...there's Bart."
"MWA HA HA HA! I'M THE REAL SUPERBOY AND I'LL KILL YOU ALL!!!...Oh no! There's Connor." I wanted my excitement to build and build and anticipate their return...but I only had about two pages to do it.

I'd imagine that if they played it up a bit more you would've probably been squeeing a lot louder about their return right?

oh i squeed plenty over bart, pausing only to lament his colouring errors. but then i squeed more. but kon... yeah, more epic would've been better XD;
moved on? never. they just haven't been back around enough yet for me to get a grasp of whether i like the new thems yet or not...

There was Final Crisis and then the aftermath...Batman has "died"...Gotham City is tearing itself apart...Bart and Konner returned...BARRY ALLEN returned...the Legion of Super Heroes have merged into one team...Superman has left Earth and is now living on New Krypton...and Blackest Night is just about to start!!!
I knew you had some issues with patience...but wow.
I think there may be a few characters that you are picky about too...and not in a defensive kind way.

Look at that! You learnt something new...even though I mispelt it.
It's really hard to bring it up in casual conversation. You have to surround it with other nice elegant words to snuggle it in...otherwise it sounds out of place.
Your mum likes to sit around in hallways? That's...unusual.
