retro's first Mitch Ballard Commission

[retro_nouveau]

Let's start with one page from Batman Beyond #1:



Not to worry, Bruce! Here he is, and not a scratch on the car. Just showing someone around who's new to Gotham:



Wow, I could not be happier. I asked for them leaning against the Batmobile-Beyond, no masks, arms around each other.

Commissions are like Lay's potato chips, I swear.

Suggested tags: char: batman/terry mcginnis, char: spider-girl/may parker

B'awww, what a cute couple! Excellent work. :D

[roibenrye]

I aww'd. Such a great commission. Great idea!


(Now I want to know what's going on in that comic though. XD)

[cloud_wolf]

Best. Crossover Couple. Ever.

When you type in Batman Beyond and Spider-girl in Google Images you also get another pic of them fighting. I accidentily stumbled upon it and now it's one of my favourite comics couples.

[tanetris]

Motto'ed.

Heh, I thought I was being all original, but I stumbled across that one while looking for a Batmobile-Beyond reference for Mitch. I thought, oh well, we still need an image where they're not trying to kick each other, and here we are. Not to mention that they've taken their masks off, so they'll start trying to kiss each other as soon as Terry stops yakking about how Gotham looks a lot better in the daytime... :)

Saw this on the CAF site and wondered who here might have requested it. Love the casual feel to it, just two folks in the same line of work talking, and boy howdy would THEY have some stories to swap!

[retro_nouveau]

Heh, I saw your comment before I got there. Nothing gets by you. :)

She's heard Uncle Kurt talk about Nightwing a lot, and he's going on about local rumors concerning the occasional fleeting appearances of someone called the Nightcrawler. :D

Let's just say I have a vested interest in keeping a close watch on Mitchs CAF page at the moment! :)

Hi! Question from kingrockwell about Mitch in this thread. Since you're the one who got me started on commissions with Mr. Ballard (curse you!), please respond there if you can shed any light?

[hyperactivator]

I love that commision!

[lieut_kettch]

Terry/Mayday? Love it!

[pyrotwilight]

May...day! Awww.

I too remember seeing that Batman Beyond and Spider-girl battle pic which I think was from a Wizard Magazine issue.

[halloweenjack]

I approve, although Mayday is sure to get a lecture from her dad on how it takes a lot of work in order to make these inter-continuity relationships work.

[pyrotwilight]

Or Robin or Jubilee.

[darkblade]

That was just weird. Espesially since shortly there after they become fused into being one person.

[icon_uk]

Jubilee's original costume was entirely Robin-centric, so yes, seeing them flirt and then fuse was VERY odd. I preferred when Angel and Robin fused to create Redbird, the Avenging Wonder! :)

[skalja]

Does Spidey have any experience in inter-continuity relationships? I mean, possibly Red Sonja kinda, and I've heard Peter and Lois got along great in the first Superman/Spider-Man crossover, but other than that...

[felinephoenix]

To be fair, it wouldn't be nearly as bad as the lecture Terry is sure to get from Peter.

[bwhahahabeck]

Awwwwwwwwww, great idea!

[kingrockwell]

Lovely! I only know Ballard from the commissions I've seen here, what kinda comics work has he done?

[retro_nouveau]

I don't know him either, outside of seeing icon_uk's several commissions and his other works at his comicartfans gallery. I'll ask icon_uk to also respond here if he knows more about him.

I hope someone from s_d is responsible for that new Giganta and Stargirl commission and shares it with us. I had a fit of Literally Out Loud.

[icon_uk]

To be honest I don't know. I can't find any reference to him having done professional work on the likes of my usual grailsite for such things www.comics.org . You could always ask him I suppose.

[felinephoenix]

Awwwwwwww.
