Bat-Meme!
I'm so sorry. This is so, Barbara Gorden's teenage years as a Suicide Girl. I had a teacher who used to get mad at me for always drawing cheesecake girls. Heh. Sorry Scott!

Can you tell at what point my fingers started to ache and I got sick of looking at it? Yay!

Seriously, best meme ever, something that actually encourages people to draw? Awesome.

I'm sorry, LJ is being completely retarded. I wrote that to someone else, and a different reply to you, but apparently it's been eaten! Ack!

What are cheesecake girls? They sound rather... delicious. And this picture leads me to think the same.

(Reply to this)(Thread)
Why, thank you.

Cheesecake is synonymous with pin-up picture. Hot girls, always tasty.

Hehe, a couple of people did Batgirl in a wheelchair pictures that are pretty awesome. I'm fighting the temptation to go back and do an Oracle picture now. The anatomy is actually pretty wonky, though that shouldn't stop me from making comics, it certainly didn't stop Liefeld.

No, it certainly did not. I don't think anyone has THAT bad a conception of what people remotely look like. I think you need to TRAIN yourself to draw CAPTAIN AMERICA with TITS and make it look like an accident.

Tell me he didn't really draw it that way.

I mean, Leifeld... I know he...

No. No. Please. Just no.

Yeah, I tend to stylize more in the pin-up girl direction (stacked like Marilyn or Bettie), and I like girls that look like they wouldn't have too much trouble handing out a beat down.

Gabriel said "What is that girl, a vampire?

I asked, "Why do you think that?"

Gaby replied, "Bathood, bat in her hands, bat everything!"

Heh heh.

Hey there! I've been clicking through all of the batgirls to find the ones i really liked and yours is awesome!

We're doing a big open-invite group anthology over at Young American Comics: The Bunny, Insect, Zombie, Monkey, Alien, Robot Experiment. This is our 5th annual anthology (which we'll be publishing as a Trade Paperback) and we're trying to get as many cool independent artists to participate as possible. Sorry for the crossposting, but we'd love to have you involved if you're interested! Come by YAC and check us out. Thanks. Tod

Dear Saturnine Paradigm,

I'm a human animal. I'm made of meet, and blood. Though, i hope my introduction is not a horrow show, but i wish to express, that i appreciated your art. Thank you for your work. I love it.

By the way, i know the secret to the universe. It's quite depressing.

I'm glad you like my art. If the secret to the universe is that depressing, I don't want to know it after all. If I don't know it, at least I can keep imagining that it's less bad than it is.
