Jinkies!

 I was scrolling Twitter for drawing inspiration, and I found this from 2014.

The universe provides, sometimes.

 I drew a Future Velma back in 2016 because she is the best of the five.

 

I sketched out a few vague poses before thinking the art needed to be spooky fun, so let's bring in a bad guy. And a skull in a spacesuit is my jam and my bop and my 23 skiddo and all that.

(I asked my son, who's ten, if he had a favorite Scooby villain, and he said he didn't really care for the cartoon. I grew up on the reruns. I think one channel showed an hour of it daily as quality babysitting TV.)

I worked up the pencils quickly (for me) and inked it on paper. This is 10 x 15.

And to break in this here new tablet, I tried coloring it, which, as always, is done with breath held and muscles clenched for hours at a time.

The Wonder Soldier. Again.

I have a fixation, it seems, with the cinematic Wonder Woman/Captain America mashups.

For at least a year, I had the idea of Diana meeting her Winter Soldier, but of course it would be her former sidekick as the mysterious assassin. And so these pages were made this week.

The shoulder star is made of radiating Ws, which I like a lot.

Here are earlier pencils sketches of the pages.

I changed the top panel of page two quite a bit. It felt like I had similar panel compositions on page one twice already.

I posted the pages on my Tumblr and within the day someone liked a 2014 post I completely forgot about. I had already made THIS. This was going to be Diana as Steve's wartime comrade-in-arms to be rescued from a new kind of Amazon slavery. I really like this mash-up, apparently.
