I was asked to be part of a very cool project, here’s the first look!
This is my pencil and ink sketch of my friend Jill AKA @TheNerdyBird as Barbara Gordon/Oracle. For those not keeping score, Barbara used to be Batgirl before the Joker (that bastard) shot her and left her wheelchair bound. Not one to rest on her laurels, Barbara became Oracle.
This character is very special to Jill as she suffers from Muscular Dystrophy, and, like Oracle, she is in a wheelchair. I wanted to make this one really special because of what the character means to Jill. So I am riding this drawing pretty closely, to make sure I hit the right notes. the pencil was pretty awesome. The ink felt good, but was a tough one to make work, for me personally. Flat color will be posted in a bit. The final effects in Photoshop is where this image should really start coming together. I’ll post that in a bit. More soon…
