Random Art - Batgirl
Posted Feb 21, 2013 - 11:49:16

So today I bring you an exceptionally random piece of "random art." 99% of the time when I post things under this header, the art is related to either one of my webcomics (UnCONventional and The Chronicles of Crosarth), and as far as I can remember I've never posted fan art.

I could be wrong on that point, but even so - it'd be a rare occurrence.

That said, I decided to do something a bit different today. I used to seriously be into superhero stuff, and still occasionally dip into it on occasion. When I was a kid, superheroes were all I ever drew, frankly. With that in mind, I decided to dig back and (just for kicks) draw a random DC comics character -- in this case, Batgirl.

I chose to go with a classic Barbara Gordon look for the character, as she's been retconned back into the cowl with DC's New 52. I'll always prefer her as Oracle, but what the heck.

It's just a quick doodle anyways.

I'm ok with her not being paralyzed because Batman Beyond is totally heart-canon for me. I always just said that it was some crazy new technology that gave her the ability to walk again because with all the other stuff in that show, it's really not all that farfetched.

The new 52 retcon is way more severe. They've pretty much excised the Oracle part of her backstory (she still got shot, but she recovered)

At least with Batman Beyond, it's in the DCAU, which is a totally separate continuity.
