Together with Calani, Dew stays mostly in the background of the Dream Keeper Robin story for now. Unlike Calani, she manages to steal the spotlight due to her.. uhm… let’s call it enthusiasm for battle. She may not be the smartest Squire on the table, but she makes up for that with her unending energy.
If there was a comic I loved to pieces, was Todd Nauck and Peter David’s Young Justice for DC Comics. I never missed an issue, and while Kon-el was my absolute favorite character in the line-up, choosing a second fave was hard (It was a toss up between Lil’Lobo, Secret and Tim, especially when he came up with Mr. Sarcastic). I cried when the book was cancelled for the much grimer Teen Titans.
Calani is, sad to say, the one of the squires that has had less chance to shine. She and Dew are my “Those two guys”, and I love their relationship, but since the story is about Robin, Calani and her issues take a second seat for the plot.
Starting this week, January 21, I am premiering a new comic, Building Blocks. (If you follow me on twitter, instagram or facebook, you have probably heard about it already, but I swear, there’s new info here). It’s a project that’s very dear to my heart and started (in a completely different direction that I will tell you about one day) way back in the past century. But now, it’s polished and ready to go!
Blaze, fire squire. She’s the one who changed the least from inception, and the one who made me love coloring reds.
Spider-man: Into the Spiderverse is an amazing movie. If you haven’t seen it, go, see it now. Seriously, close your browser and go to the movies. It will be worth it.
Ah, good ol’ Aria. I mentioned in my previous post that I would be doing more illustrations projects. I started this last year, but I couldn’t show it until now. I’m working on an alphabet series with all my characters, with some extra details that I hope you appreciate.
So here’s A, Aria, with an Azalea for the letter because Azaeleas mean Patience and Fragility (I know, I know, not very Aria-like) but are also the symbol for women in China so… Aria.
You can get to know her both in Gradients, every Tuesday in Tapas, and in the special patreon strips at just $1.00 dlls a month in Patreon every Friday.
As the year begins, I thought I’d give you a run down of what I am working on, comic – wise (the other projects, that are illustration only, will come later I think)
Blaze is the leader of the Squires, the Royal Guard of Alnitak. She has been training since she was a child to control the element of fire, and to serve the Queen of Alnitak so she takes her mission very, very seriously
Star Wars has been with me since I was born. Literally, I was born in 1977, so yeah. Can’t ever forget the anniversary of Star Wars premiere. Thus, I was really happy it won the last fanart poll of the year.
