Black Canary
Added 2021-11-22 13:46:13 +0000 UTCAlright.
You got me.
I'm team Canary now.
Basically all I knew about Black Canary was that it was actual canon for a while that she was her own mother (look it up).
Alright, I knew more than that. But I didn't have much direct experience with the character. So then I went and read the original Birds of Prey run from the 90 - 2000's. Which is well over 100 issues, btw (that's a thing that used to happen in comics.)
Needless to say, I'm smitten. I don't believe this will be nearly the last time I draw Ms. Lance.
I was however already a long time Huntress fan. This pic was big influenced by that classic page from Batman Chronicles #19: http://www.sleepycomics.com/785
It's one of my favourites.
I've been itching to get back to my older flat colouring style. I would like to try and find some happy middle ground. Some softer rendering, with highlights, but still letting the ink do most of the talking.
Alright. On to page 25 now.

WONDERFUL. Batman Chronicles #19 is one of my favourites as well

2021-11-27 12:02:02 +0000 UTCAll that I know is that Huntress is about to kick ass....
2021-11-26 09:49:03 +0000 UTCI've been waiting for page 25 ~~~~~~~
2021-11-26 02:02:23 +0000 UTCCanary was captured by children?
2021-11-26 01:55:30 +0000 UTCI have always appreciated DC for giving us not one, but TWO beautiful. fish-netted heroines who - in order to be rendered helpless required both binding AND gagging! (Zatanna being the other)

2021-11-24 12:43:29 +0000 UTCOh, hah. She's not meant to be looking at Huntress. I'm too embarrassed to reveal how long I spent experimenting with her eye direction. It really felt like there was no wrong answer. Should she be side-eyeing one of the crooks? If so, which one? Should she be looking downward, up at her restraint situation, straight forward, like all her concentration is going into her struggle? There was no wrong answer! But I don't want to just make a hundred variants every time I find myself in that situation. Gotta just make a decision. And with every decision, something is gained as something is lost.
2021-11-23 14:57:27 +0000 UTCWell itβs a step up from being captured by children at least πmy favourite part is how you made her jacket here, pulled taut to show her bust like itβs part of her restraints

2021-11-23 14:55:55 +0000 UTCOh man. So much greatness here. What's not to love about Black Canary? Fishnets, that tiny joke of a top, the choker, and gag-requisite for any plot to work...the perfect super-heroine if you ask me. And in my mind, this is a scheme where Huntress and BC have agreed that BC is the bait. Hence the sidelong glance. She's like "Ok, any time you're ready..." And this is a superior gagging by the way. That thing looks like it's staying a while.
2021-11-23 13:54:08 +0000 UTCTruly amazing as always! Hoping to see Zatanna (Animated) have a fair share of misadventures too one day.

2021-11-23 04:44:26 +0000 UTCI was kinda hoping she was there to help... only for someone to get the drop on her while she's watching the guys below and picking out her shot. lol
2021-11-23 03:57:48 +0000 UTCSo is Huntress there to help or the reason Canary is in her predicament? Please be the later.

2021-11-23 02:31:47 +0000 UTCWhat is there to say but another excellent piece, Black Canary is a classic damsel and I'm glad to see her in your style, hopefully a longer piece in the future, Dinah was probably one of the characters that turned me on to damsel in distress storylines, in the old World's Finest 282 5-year old me was shocked and intrigued by the story where Black Canary was kidnapped, bound and gagged and the story ended on a cliffhanger with her still a captive and seemingly no hope of rescue (hey I was 5 ;) ) it was nearly 20 years later before I got the concluding issue where of course she was rescued, but not getting the issue immediately let the idea stay in my head that maybe the damsel isn't always rescued, at least not right away, that's why I'm looking forward to the rest of the Spider-Woman story.
2021-11-23 00:23:45 +0000 UTCGlad to have you in the club!

2021-11-22 23:50:51 +0000 UTCExcellent work as always! Now we just need Black Canary nabbed and have the two girls bound back to back.

2021-11-22 16:19:38 +0000 UTCLovely Black Canary peril. I'm glad Huntress is on top ready to rescue Canary, because those thugs look serious! The Huntress scene you referenced is also one my favorites!

2021-11-22 15:54:49 +0000 UTCI for one am all for more Huntress and Black Canary art.

2021-11-22 15:14:46 +0000 UTCGlad to have you in the BC fan club. Hopefully we can expect more in the future :)

2021-11-22 15:02:59 +0000 UTCMy mind fails me to come up with something witty to say, so I'll just say that I like the image and approve of how it was done. I could certainly stand to see Ms. Lance getting more treatment from you. Looking forward to that, and to the story continuing.
2021-11-22 14:33:56 +0000 UTCThat would certainly be nice. Perhaps the implied rescue attempt didn't go quite as planned.
2021-11-22 14:31:36 +0000 UTCDinah is a fine catch. I'm always happy to see the Birds in Bondage, though Helena's my personal fave to catch. Love to see more of them in your style.

2021-11-22 13:55:33 +0000 UTCGlad we got yaβ¦ as Iβve said previously The Birds of Prey deserve your attention and talents. The idea of Huntress and Batgirl joining her in mis-adventures going forward would be greedy on my part, but something Iβd like to implant in your memory banks for obvious reasons! Haha

2021-11-22 13:54:20 +0000 UTCMay be next time you'll draw the both of them bound and gagged. Hit two birds with one stone.
