Picture

Sequential Art?

Meh. Not my best, but I don't think it's bad.

Crisis!

Superman

Just something I whipped up...

Here Now!

He's Batman.

Art

This

Plus this

Equals this.

Happy New Year.

I call this the Emerald-Power!

Complicated picture... I guess...

           New picture. And it needs explaining. The son of the atom thing is based on the premise that occured in the Amazing Spider-Man reboot in the early 2000's where an interesting idea was brought up by comic-book author Michael J. Straczynski that Spider-Man might be a nuclear powered super-hero, calling him the son of the atom. So, since then I have always associated that saying with atomic stuff. So, that's that. Now the actual character. The idea is an amalgam, basing it off of two ideas. The gray skin, is supposed to be a metal shell of a robot, referencing the ever classic JLA No.13. The idea of a shell holding in living radiation is from Captain Atom. The idea is that he was blasted, his shell was broken and his cracks are leaking radiation.

          I have also found an amazing game online. It's called Infinite Crisis a Multiplayer Online Battle Arena.
I am terrible at it, but it is possibly the best video game I've played in a year. You can play as different versions of famous DC characters like Green Lantern or Wonder Woman, like Atomic, Mecha, and Archane. It is fun, but requires a PC. Finally an upside to having one of these things. My account name is Dazzling-General, level 8. And you never have to stick with one character, you can choose different ones each match. And, overall, a pretty nice community.

          So, that has been my past week.





           

Out-of-Darkness

My newest creation.

Edited commision. Justice League compilation.

This is better.

This is awesome.

And it is. A couple of weeks ago, I took a commission for a classmate, and today, I fulfilled
it. Of course, now I have to find a piece of paper big enough to print it on, but I can solve that issue later. Anyways, I made this in about 2 and a half hours, no breaks. Enjoy and marvel at my best picture yet.

The Brave and the Bold

Enjoy the art =)

Stuff.

Okay, it's been about two months now. Maybe even more, now that it's December. So, I have had things going on, and most of them, surprisingly, do not involve school. Their is a webcomic out there called JL8. I am pretty sure I have already talked about it but it often is a highlight of my week. But anyways, he sometimes publishes his art on DeviantArt.com. I was already familiar with that site, for I had spent the majority of my summer looking at stuff on there. It is a great site for beginning artists, with tons of great art. So, a couple of months ago I created an account. It's free, and you can publish your own art, join groups, and just socialize. It, overall, is a pretty great community, I can regularly comment and correspond with other artists and creators on the site. I have started to publish my own art, and its pretty great. I currently have no way to create art online, so I am scrounging around for unused and used art to publish.
I have also become a fan of Linkara, an internet comic book reviewer who is pretty great, and has a fair sense of humor. His show is AT4W(Atop The Fourth Wall)  and I recommend it. Link here. And, well that's it. Guess I really didn't need to blog today, but I am free time, and I'm in a pretty great mood. Oh, and I have seen the new Arrow episode that features my favorite Flash, Barry Allen, and I wasn't impressed. It felt like the producer's couldn't decide on who Barry was. He switches from being an insecure kid, to being a smarty-pants, and sometimes just acts like a blundering dolt. And they got the worst actor they could for him. The one time theirs an actual blond person, they get someone who is half ginger and looks 12 years old!
       Okay, now I'm done with this post.

Batman here, Batman there, there's Batmen Everywhere!

Or, rather, Elsewhere. You probably have guessed that these are all Batman's. Yes they are, but the story goes deeper than that.

Knight Wainright, for example, is Batman from the Dark Ages. He was generally more violent, and had a very short reputation, for he was killed by Vandal Savage about 3 months into his career. But, cool armor!

Now, the World's Finest Batman. This Batman never evolved from the Shark Repellent or the Batusi, and neither did his world's Superman. And in their Super-Friends-esque world, everyone is BFF's. There is no Nightwing, no Jason Todd, nothing past Dick Grayson and his chain mail speedo.

And in this corner, the Red Son Batman. His story is awesome, but too in depth for me to cover. So, link!

And now Batman Beyond, the future Batman A.K.A. Terry McGuiness, a teenager who is the genetic clone of the 90 year old Bruce Wayne!

So, that art should cover me for another week or so. Hooray!

Very On Topic Post!

I am very tired of politics and chemical weapons and terrorism. I feel like there is going to be  negative consequences in every action we take against Syria's dicktator (No, I did not spell that wrong) and even more when congress shuts the government down just because the republicans hate Obama. The whole situation is going to end with people out of jobs, a Republican dictated country with  FOX news leading the charge. Bad news for everyone. Which is why I am going to talk about video games and comic books and everything fun this blog post.

Forever Evil. The first universe-wide event in the New 52. For months DC was slapping that slogan on all the comics, magazines and websites. Months. I, of course thought it was going to be some big thing to introduce villains that haven't made it out of the New 52 limbo yet. And I almost had a heart attack seeing just how right I really was. One thursday morning, I was checking DC comic's webpage for updates in the Trinity War, and BAM. Crime Syndicate. Right there, the best team of super villains DC has seen. I was so happy, shocked and ready to drop dead from a heart attack, so excited to share with everyone I knew that the New 52 got something right! And it was than that I thought to myself; um, Xavi, does anyone know just what the Crime Syndicate really is? So, it was right at that moment I am came up with the brilliant idea to make a link to a Wikipedia post explaining everything to know about the Crime Syndicate! I'm so creative. Voila, link!

Two, Batman Arkham Origins! But Xavi, didn't you already praise that totally legit praise worthy game yesterday? Yes, I did, but I did not get to share the story of the fabulous praise worthy game I praised yesterday. So if you saw the trailer on yesterdays post, you have a slim idea of what it is about. If you have not, go watch. Now. Seriously, I will not continue until you have seen it. Have you? Good. So, from the trailer you saw Black Mask, Batman, Deathstroke and Deadshot. You may have picked up that Deathstroke and Deadshot are assassins hired by Black Mask to kill Batman on Christmas. What the trailer did not depict is that there are also six other assassins after Batman, along with the Joker, Penguin and possibly other villains. The game begins roughly after the events on the docks showcased on the trailer you saw. And, Adam West! Yes, you read it correctly.

Memrise! Memrise and Links!

I have not done actual writing on this blog for a while now. That would be because of school. I do have nice teachers and a fairly decent amount of homework,(emphasis on fairly) but not enough sleep. I get up at 6:00 A.M. everyday, and go to school at 7:15. That is not good for someone who has spanish class at 7:30. I often am just waking up by the time I am dismissed from spanish. It is astonishing that I have been able to learn the alfabeto by now. It also helps that I have been on memrise. Memrise is an amazing site that helps you learn different languages. It really, really helps speed up my Spanish education. I have mastered the basic fundamentals of Spanish, in less than two weeks. Two weeks! It is  a fantastic site, and is a great resource, and is put even better use in my Spanish class.

Other parts of School are going fine, and I am kept sane on the weekends by watching massive amounts of Batman- the Brave and the Bold on netflix. I do get the occasional drawing done, and I am doing a quite a bit of reading. I am currently reading On a Pale Horse, a book about a man who murders death. I also have finished John Green's award winning book; Looking for Alaska, and I greatly recommend it to anyone with a good sense of literature. I have gotten my dad to read it, and he thinks its a good book. I also recommend The Fault in our Stars, and everything else the the name John Green on it. John Green also is co-creator on the best channel on YouTube, VlogBrothers with his brother Hank.

I am also greatly anticipating Batman: Arkham Origins, which is including a whole new host characters to the Arkhamverse, including Lady Shiva and Deathstroke! Deathstroke! Honestly, this will probably be the best Batman game ever made. Ever. The cinematic trailer gives me chills and even more thrills. Also, skins! so many awesome skins!This is going to be awesome. Trust me. Really.
