Straight from the SEQUEL to my fanfic!

Robin has been gone an awful long time, recovering from the events of the first story (Revenge of the Joker: [link]). The Teen Titans (who're being aided by Kid Flash in Robin's absence) respond to a call, and, well... let's just quote from the book, shall we??

"On the floor of the alleyway laid a large pile of broken Sladebots, electrical charges zapping around them like lightning from their short-circuited forms. Beast Boy changed back to normal and came up level with them, crossing his arms.

“Damnit, Kid Flash. Can’t you ever leave any of the fun for us?”

Kid Flash turned to look at them with his sky blue eyes. “I didn’t do this,” he said, a whimsical smile toying his lips.

“But, if you did not do it,” asked Starfire, “Then… who?”

Kid Flash winked, and looked upwards. The others craned their necks back as well, looking up to the rooftop above.

“Four minutes and twenty-one seconds” called a voice. A face appeared over the edges of one of the rooftops, smiling bright as it peered down at them through a black mask. Messy black hair slicked back with hair gel, a green gloved hand holding out a stopwatch. His black and yellow cape whipped around him as he stared down at them all.

“Don’t tell me your response time has seriously gotten this slow in my absence!”

A stunned silence enveloped all of them as they stared, mouths agape, up at the boy above them. No one spoke, or even moved, as though a strange spell had frozen them all to the spot.

“ROBIN!!!” "

In other news, my usual schpeil about my drawing technique, cuz it changes from picture to picture!!

In this one, Robin was done on a single layer, while the background was done across three (for the foreground building Robin is standing on, the buildings in the back, and last one for the sky, minus the stars). I started with a quick blue sketch of the pose I was going for for Robin, then started a new layer to get the lineart, and kinda against my better judgement, began coloring in that same layer, and found out that it was really REALLY fun doing Robin on one layer, and I actually found it much easier to edit stuff. I dunno. I guess my painting class has helped me up far more than I could ever have expected

As usual, Photoshop CS3 with my tablet. Throw in my Teen Titans Season 3 DVD pretty much on loop (I seriously have seen X and Haunted about 30 times each since owning this DVD, no fricken lie) and a few reference photos, and ya got this!! I think, overall, it took me 7 hours...
