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!

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.
