A little rebutt-al. Yup, more Grayson bootie! (and others, I can be magnanimous)

A couple of scans I meant to include in my last post, featuring the work of Phil Jimenez

Starting with this shot from Infinite Crisis, where Brother Eye's orbiting camera's clearly share a certain empathy with it's creator's habits...



Click below for the most wonderfully gratuitous shot of them all....

Here we see the perfect fantasy of Bette "Flamebird" Kane in JLA/Titans #2. For her, ONE Dick Grayson in a Robin costume isn't enough, and why SHOULD she settle after all, when instead of one Teen Wonder, she can have FIVE?!



So is that beding over Robin picking up a misplaced tennis ball, or is that the target she's trying to hit on... Actually considering Bette's obsessive tendencies about Dick, I suppose we should be happy she settled for a slightly voyeuristic game of tennis and not anything more... carnal.

And just to show I CAN see others as having superior posteriors.... From the same issue fof JLA Titans, may I present Wally West and Orion of the New Gods...





And purely for kicks, in another thread, discussing Mr Graysons wardrobe, we jested briefly about how much more effective Dick would be if he only wore a thong, and that got us on to discussing his getting a power ring (Which of course he couldn't get in In Blackest Night despite just about EVERYONE else getting one). Green was considered (since we know he would have been a contender for Abin Sur's ring if he'd been old enough) as was Blue, since Dick really does embody the concept of hope better than any other Batclan member. But of course, we all know that for him, another possibility exists...

So with apologies to George Perez and my usual half hour hack job with a paint program, may I present

Dick Grayson, Star Sapphire!


I realise I could have located the sapphire to a more... genitalia focussed area, but I like the idea that Dick would view the symbol of his new role as something to be worn like the Batlogo or the S-shield...

And speaking of which, this is clearly not the first time that they tried to recruit Dick (and Jimmy Olsen, of all people), as you'll see from this old World's Finest cover. Clearly their respective father figures don't approve!

Checked twice to make sure ball wasn't plural in that first scan.

[icon_uk]

Yeah, even Devin Grayson and Phil Jimenez would have had a tough time getting THAT one past editorial! :)

[leorising]

"Got your ball right here, Flamebird."

But but but! Look where that second-from-the-right guy's hand is! I'm thinking the black-colored tennis racket in his hand is an end run around the censors...D:

[icon_uk]

Interesting notion, and one I heartily approve of!

[sistermagpie]

I can see Bette asking Dick to pick up ball after ball and him being too polite to refuse.

I'll admit that Star Sapphire Dick did cross my mind once or a dozen times...

[paintedmaypole.livejournal.com]

That Dick Grayson, Star Sapphire is AMAZING.

[star_of_airdrie]

Amazing mostly, too much Greater Saphenous vein (medial - inner - thigh wrapping toward knee) and insertion sites of muscles- the artist knows their anatomy almost too well, if that's a complaint. Would love to see the posterior view, but I guess that's a given and a 'gratuitous' wish!

Hey, it's me working off a George Perez original (which includes a posterior view), and not getting my grey balance correct when trying to make it easier to paint.

[star_of_airdrie]

I didn't mean to come off unkind and I was wondering about that. I was playing with my screen contrasts and the grey balance would explain why the muscle definition appeared to look like the vessels and insertions sites. Perez, DaVinci, God - not in that order, know male human anatomy

This coming from someone who is not unartistic, but certainty is not someone that can draw the human form well, but has dissected, autopsied, examined, etc. more than a few...

That might count as TOO much information there sweetie, particularly if we later find out your actual career is as a financial advisor and you're referring to a hobby.

[star_of_airdrie]

caterer, nanny, nuclear physicist...

[icon_uk]

Ah yes, the rarely used THIRD line of "Tinker, tailer, soldier sailor."

[retro_nouveau]

Heh, obviously before there was "bend over..." and "little more..." there was "move the cape out of the way..."

*ZZZNTH* Welcome to Awkward City, population 2!

Whoa, Diana's having a really bad hair day, looks like she went a couple rounds with Livewire.

Costumes don't work that way! What, did he paint that on? What's holding that on? How can he expect to go into combat like that? Other than that, nice work! :D

[icon_uk]

Like the costumes others, it's made of star sapphire energy, so the limitations of physical fabric and haberdashery isn't really relevant.

And hey, if imagining Dick Grayson applying his own body paint as a minimalist costume doesn't give you a happy, there's not a lot we can do for you! :)

[icon_uk]

Oh, and to show how that body paint thing might work.. try this informative video.

[retro_nouveau]

Love it! I feel much safer traveling by air now. When the guy goes to put his cell phone in his pocket... XD And damn that fade to blur!

[jelly_ace]

I suppose we should be happy she settled for a slightly voyeuristic game of tennis and not anything more... carnal.

Happy? I think devastated would be a more appropriate description of what I'm feeling right now. Five Dick Graysons!!! Imagine what you could do with five Dick Graysons?!?

[supergirl]

All those in favor of establishing a contingency plan in the event of five Dick Graysons, do please recommend a course of action.

In great, great detail.

[nezchan]

I think "great" and "Dick Grayson" are words that go well together, regardless of quantity.

[supergirl]

If Morrison wrote a mini-series based on Dick's thighs and bum saving the day? I'd buy it.

"I appear to have dropped my batarang! Wait one moment, Harvey, while I bend over slowly to pick it up."

"No! No, it's too much!"

"Ha! What's the matter, Two-Face? Can't handle the power of my backside?"

[nezchan]

Hell with Morrison, someone get Gail Simone on the line! She's needed!

[jelly_ace]

Batman already has one of those plans, being a crazy prepared bad-ass, of course. The simulation is already in the Bat-computer, hidden in the "Arkham Asylum Stool Analysis Results" folder.

[supergirl]

He wrote it for purely academic reasons, of course.

[jelly_ace]

Of course. Such a fine mind needs constant stimulation, after all.

[zordboy]

*imagines what I would do with five Dick Graysons*

Mmm.

Honestly, I think I'd stick to the one Dick Grayson. I don't know, I'm sure there's something to be said for multi-tasking, but I think I'd rather focus on one at a time, rather than risk losing track of what I was doing.

[nezchan]

Perhaps run them serial rather than parallel?

The ones not on "duty" could do household chores and go to work on your behalf.

[jelly_ace]

Talk about a career booster!

[zordboy]

Hell yeah, I like this idea. My store could use the extra business. And I'd be stuck at home with Dick all day... hmmm. Heheheh.

[jelly_ace]

Just make sure you have a lot of things to stack in your store. Or placed below waist-level.

[nezchan]

Gratuitous...grateful...such a fine line between the two...

And Diana, I don't think the perm is working out for you.

[icon_uk]

In her defence she is coming in to land...

[bradygirl_12]

*sighs*

Such loveliness! Bette had good taste!

*don't mind the icon. haven't updated here on DW in ages!* ;)
