Over at Ok, PANIC! our topic was Sidekicks. There are so many good sidekicks out there, one might say the world runs on them. I couldn’t decided on just one, so I decided to tackle the original Teen Titans and recreate an old Wonder Woman cover with the Titans in place of the Justice League. It was a ton of fun, go check that shit out, as well the other great pieces by Jeff, Jason and Kurt. I kind of felt that the artists’ interest in Ok, PANIC! was dwindling, but I think the addition of Kurt into the group has brought a new life and fun into it again, and made everyone step up their game.
So anyhoo, I decided to tackle some non-sidekick Teen Titans for the ol’ blog here. By some, I mean two. Here’s the first, Raven. Never a character I enjoyed, but simple and cool looking.
Deadpo- I mean – Deathstroke!

I was a fan of the Marv Wolfman/George Perez Teen Titans late in life. I wound up picking up a bundle of issues that included the “Judas Contract” storyline from a used bookstore when I was 18 or 19. I was aware of Deathstroke from his own series, but had assumed he was just a Punisher rip-off. He’s more like Captain America gone bad. In my mind, anyway. Anyhoo, he’s a little overexposed at the moment, but he’s a great villain with a great look and design. Whenever they changed his costume, it was a crime against humanity.
I drew a Deathstroke sketch about a year ago for the purposes of putting it on here at some time. I found it while digging around looking for stuff to update the blog with, but it was not something I felt good about. I feel like I’m striving toward a more cartoony style, and the old drawing wasn’t bombastic enough (not that this is, either). But I think this new drawing is more where I’d like to head to, stylistically.
I dunno. I’m full of it.
