Harley Quinn's Whimsy

Presented here is a delicate dance of ink and paper, Harley Quinn's features come to life on the page. Her bright multi-tinted hair and minimalist clown makeup frame her contagious grin. Her eyes sparkle and twinkle with a hint of madness. The lines of her face, bold and expressive, seemed to shift and writhe with an undertow of madness.

The Dark Knight's Perch

Batman stood tall on the rooftop, the Gotham City skyline stretching out behind him like a dark, gothic tapestry. The wind whipped fiercely at this high altitude, but his eyes remained fixed on the city below. In his right hand, the grappling hook gun gleamed with a faint blue light, its metal curves a testament to the Dark Knight's ingenuity. The device, a trusty tool in his crime-fighting arsenal, was poised to launch him into the night, ready to swoop in and save the day. The city's neon lights began to slowly twinkle on like diamonds as the sun finally set on Gotham's horizon.

Wonder Woman, the Dual-Bladed Amazon

Wonder Woman with dual swords is a formidable battlefield force capable of taking down multiple enemies with precision and speed. Her increased agility, strength, and combat skills make her an even more formidable opponent. However, her reliance on her dual swords might lead to overextension and distraction, making her more vulnerable to surprise attacks.

[Workflow: I really liked the layout from Outsiders (DC Comics 2024 series) issue #7 featuring art by Jerome Opeña.  I made my own version of this fighter's stance featuring Wonder Woman instead of Katana finishing up the NightCafe base start with clean-ups and enhancements in Affinity Photo.]

She believes humans have forgotten how to live in harmony with nature and seeks to restore balance to the environment.

Laumda-III: A Bounty Hunter's Paradise

A fleet of eclectic spacecraft, each with its unique design and markings, descended onto the mist-shrouded planet of Laumda-III. The ships, a diverse assortment of vessels from various corners of the galaxy, had been drawn to the planet by a lucrative bounty on the head of a notorious outlaw. As the ships landed, teams of skilled bounty hunters emerged from each craft, their eyes scanning the dense jungle landscape for any sign of their quarry. The air was thick with the sounds of chirping insects and the distant rumble of a waterfall, but the hunters moved with purpose, their mission clear: track down the outlaw and claim the reward. The purple-tinted jungle seemed to swallow them whole, but the hunters were undaunted, driven by the promise of a hefty payday and the thrill of the hunt.

Harley Quinn's Beach Vacation

Harley Quinn trades in her mallet for a beach umbrella, swapping her villainous ways for a day of sun, sand, and serenity. She soaks up the rays in a bright pink bikini, her signature jester hat replaced with a trendy beach cover-up. As she lounges on the shore, the sound of the waves and seagulls replaces the rumble of her stolen Harley-Davidson. For one day, the Clown Princess of Crime hangs up her wicked ways and indulges in a little R&R.

A Demon and a Magician Get on a London Bus... plus [TrUzApalOOza cardstock variant cover]

I created a NightCafe version inspired by Aaron Campbell's John Constantine, Hellblazer: Dead in America #5 published by DC Comics, and finished it with several edits within Affinity Photo.   Also turned my artwork into a TrUzApalOOza cardstock variant cover edition.

Smoke and Symbols

[Workflow: Extracted image from the cover art by Aaron Campbell on John Constantine, Hellblazer: Dad in America #5 (2024).  Extracted out the main image and changed the focus on the bus, added font work and credit lines, masked in a pentagram using Affinity Photo.]
