Valade: Weapons of MASS Creation

katiewoodger: DISNEY HAVE STOLEN MY ARTWORK I don’t know what to do. I am so upset. Can anyone help me? My painting was created back in 2010, (see it HERE) and since then so many people have expressed their love for it, not just on tumblr, but in many places. At least 9 people had it tattooed on their bodies. It’s one of my favourite images I created at University and I was proud of it in many ways. Disney have used it on a cosmetics bag HERE (look at the back)and they have produced a Tshirt HERE with a really similar design clearly modeled from my painting I’m so mad because I have no chance at getting Disney to do anything about it. I had so much respect for the company and now I am just SO upset and disappointed. Any help, advice or signal boosting would be amazing. And thank you so much to the kind person who messaged me about this. Can Disney Piss me off any more lately?

So Harley Quinn’s been put on hold cuz I ended up working on a Sketch of one of my own Female Characters instead lol This is just the rough pencils and will get inked & finished after work this evening.I haven’t drawn Destiny in a long time, those who know me know she’s as important to my Universe as Dorian is. If I can’t make her look right, I won’t draw her.Last night I feel like I got her right… finally.Be easy on me, as mentioned before, I haven’t focused on illustrating the fairer sex in some time, so I’m still getting the hang of choosing the right lines lolDestiny is Copyright 2012 ValadeI’ll get back to Harley I promise, but it felt good focusing on my own book ;)

Here’s a new Character for my Comic, I haven’t decided on his name yet (possibly Baylor), but what’s cooler than a One Eyed Sniper?

This is another warmup Sketch I did while working on some Commissions over the weekend.Black Panther at the request of a friend :)I’ve never drawn him before so be easy on me, wasn’t intended to be a finished piece but what the hell, I was having fun!Can’t wait to get back in the Studio tonight to finish what’s waiting for me!

This is for one of the Commissions that I’m currently working on. I like the sketch but decided instead of fucking it up while I’m inking it, I’d print out a blue line of my rough pencils and ink those instead (retaining the original pencils).f this is “the One” yet either, just messing around.I haven’t shown anything “progress” oriented before; to my knowledge, and figured you guys & gals wouldn’t mind. I don’t normally do heavy finished pencils on stuff for myself. I have the MOST fun while letting loose during the inking stage, but that also means I tend to make some mistakes I regret later lolWith commissions, I make sure that everything is pretty much in place during the pencil stage and then all that’s left is adding the little details and line work I love to do so much, during the inks.All the Cap practice also lead to an Avengers sketch I might show later featuring Cap, Thor, Iron Man, Hulk & Fury. Good weekend for Comix
