DCU Bang Art Masterpost

[amberdreams]

I've been pushing myself to try new things this year so here I am, venturing outside of SPN. Ok, in some ways, I didn't venture very far, since I can't help but think of Jason Todd as being played by Jensen Ackles...
This dcu_bang fic is A New Taste of Love by Empires & Salvatore, and as you might guess from the title, it's a love story - though the two protagonists don't realise it, and have to be taught a few lessons first. Which, by the way, is a trope I have a huge fondness for!

Click on the banner to read the story.

For those of you who dabble in DCU, it's a Dick Grayson as Nightwing/ Jason Todd as Red Hood story.

I did two scenes from the fic - one is right at the start, one a ways into the tale, but I don't think either of the pictures give anything away, so no spoilers!

The story starts with the witchy/wizard Klarion battling various heroes, including Nightwing and Red Hood.


The second scene is a quiet but tense moment in another universe.


And a divider


Process!
All the pieces apart from the banner were begun with traditional media then coloured in PS.
Here are the original drawings/sketches



I got Klarion's face totally wrong so I drew it again and used the second face in the digital version

The drawings in the brown sanguine pencil are all large, on A2 paper.
This ink over pencil drawing is only A4

I did start trying to colour this with watercolour/gouache, but it wasn't working, so this one got coloured digitally too.
