This Sunday, Why religion is bad, Muhammad and your little Allah too.

2012-01-22T10:30:00.003-07:00

This is so appalling I'm not even going to try and comment on it directly. But if you can't see why ANY religion can be bad, and most usually are, you need to take a good long look in the mirror.

I've very, very tired of the 'I just hate god' BS. I don't I hate Allah, or Jesus or whomever. I hate what your religion has done to you, a religion made by man (because even if you believe in your god, others believe in their god, and since only your is real then they just made there up.) I see no difference between the different types, with the exception that some of the religions make people violent. While the Christians seem to have grown out of MOST of there violent ways (we'll not talk about Africa today,) the Islamists are still in the dark ages (well most of them unfortunately.) If you read about Muhammad, you can see it's bat shot insane. It's just as bad as what John Smith does. Muhammad wants something so Allah just happens to agree with him on everything. WOW. And people can't see this is false?!??!

But don't you see? That's the trick of religion, to get you to not see what it's really trying to do. It's getting you to not think, to simply accept what it says at face value. It's teaching you to be double plus good. It's teaching you to NOT question it while telling you it's OK to question, but the answers it gives you are not answers, they are simply more tricks. I've asked questions here on the blog but half the time I get something that has nothing to do with what I asked. THAT is what it's doing to you, tricking you into thinking that IS an answer when it's not.

No I don't hate your god. I feel sorry for the people who have been duped into following him, whatever one he happens to be. To see people wasting there limited time and resources on something so painfully false is really depressing. There is a local commercial here, telling people to go to church because people who are religious are more happy than people who are not. This may very well be true, as ignorance is bliss, but I'd rather be slightly less happy that ignorant and easy to fool.

Best,

Brett

The making of a cover!

2012-01-18T16:17:00.002-07:00

This is for the people who think I'm a big Tron fan. I am of course, the first movie is still a favorite, the second... well it was pretty to look at. Anywho here's how covers work. I get a list of ideas from the writer which I do different takes of, in this case Cassi fighting off some monsters and Bart having a sort of flashback. Cassie was captured by NOWHERE and they seem to prefer the 'Tron' suits. Scott wasn't sure which DC wanted so I did one of each. I turn them in and then we wait.

Since it's part of a crossover it's got to go through more than the usually people so it takes longer. Well after about a week it was decided that all the TT would get captured at the end of 7 and so I was asked to turn in a new layout (nothing really new, I did like 6-7 layouts for issue 6 which had some JL members that were supposed to show up) but DC thought it would be cool for me to redo the issue 1 cover with EVERYONE in 'Tron' suits.

So I did this up and was told to get to work. Now I'm not a guy who's ever happy with what he's done in the past, so I don't really like the issue 1 cover now. BUT, I (sometimes) do what I'm told so I did it up;)

I did make a few changes, pulled Skitter and Bunker up into the front a bit more.

Now I liked cover ideas 2 and 3. The thing is, the covers I would prefer to do are not always the ones picked by DC or Marvel or whoever. But they are the ones paying the bills so I draw the ones that they want. Sometimes I'm happy with the end result, other times not so much, but that might just be me and my negative thinking.

I will say this, the 'Tron' outfits are only for a few issues, then back to the normal ones that people hate!

Bestest!

In the aftermath of the Teen Titans’ assault on N.O.W.H.E.R.E.’s headquarters, there’s no time to celebrate because Wonder Girl is missing! Red Robin desperately tries to find her, but he’s got his hands full, as Superboy has announced his decision to lead the team, Solstice is still dealing with the devastating revelations about her past and Kid Flash is getting glimpses of a dangerous future that he thinks he recognizes!

A few Speedforce baddies.

2012-01-15T09:49:00.002-07:00

Chunk and Speed Demon (or Speed Magee.) That Max Mercury I posted awhile ago was also for the proposal. No time for anything else today. I needs to get to work!

Crashed and burned!

2012-01-08T16:55:00.001-07:00

Ah the crazy world of comics! I turned in a Speedforce idea last year that got shot down in record time. They want to focus on Barry and Bart for the time being. I knew it was a long shot but I had to give it a try! It would have taken awhile to get everything going so I was hoping I'd do it after my TT run. And I didn't want anyone to think I wasn't willing to put my pencil were my mouth is;)

Anyways, a few designs for it. The top is Wally (silver top, blue bottoms) the bottom a new character with the placeholder name of Black Racer... cause his outfit's Black. I figured I'd post them and not really talk about the idea just in case DC changes their mind, I can always do more redesigns;)

Anyways, enjoy and maybe I'll get a crack at this someday!

Teen Titans issue 5 DPS Pencils.

2012-01-06T09:13:00.001-07:00

In the back of the DC books there have been Q&A's with the creative teams. This month Scott and I are in there along with the inks for this DPS from issue 5. So I thought I'd post the pencils for it (cause i don't have anything else to show you right now;))

Best!

This Sunday: HOW?!?!

2012-01-01T10:01:00.000-07:00

HOW... How do you know your religion is true while all others are false? Outside of there holy books/ texts, there is nothing else that proves any religion to be true over any other. So I ask, why is the religion you choose to follow 'true' and all the others are false? I've been told at times that I wasn't a real Christian, that I didn't give it a chance. Well have you given the other religions a fair shake? Of course not, you most likely follow a religion that your parents did. Or are one of those rare people who switch to something completely different, so how and why did they decide to do that? How did they know that their old religion was false and that their new one was 'true'?

I've asked this question before but I've never gotten a satisfying answer. Now I'm going to turn something around on Steve. He's said that God (I'm assuming Jesus?) spoke to him. So what if that same story happened to say a Hindu? Said Hindu was sitting at a bar and he overheard a couple talking about religion. He then claims Vishnu spoke to him to talk to that couple. As someone who is not Hindu, what would you think? You know their religion isn't true, but how do you know this? Why is your religion real and theirs superstition? You have the same evidence, texts and stories. HOW?!?!?

Ever watch the show Ancient Aliens? These people believe, just as strongly as any religious person, that aliens came to earth, bred with humans, gave the Nazis technology, have caused humans to evolve ect.... They use religious texts, pictograms and the Nazca Lines to 'prove' this. They make grandios claims that can't be backed up with any evidence. They have simply replaced a god figure with aliens, it's the same as any religion.

The point of all this is to see if people can actually really examine their religion with reason. Everyone is an atheist when it comes to religions that aren't theirs, so why is yours so special? Remember that the majority of the people on the planet don't agree with you. Sure there are 2 billion Christians, but that leaves 5 billion who think that that religion is false (and to some, those 1 billion Catholics aren't really Christians so you do the math;P.)

I'm not 100% sure there is no creator, I'm like 99.99999%. But I see no evidence for any supernatural phenomenon, Godlike or Ancient Alien, so that give me enough to be pretty darn sure there is nothing supernatural. Now I will say aliens is slightly more believable to me, but thats only because they wouldn't be supernatural. BUT, as I said before the Ancient Alien people have no evidence to support anything they say. They are as bad as creationists as they call it a 'theory' when they don't actually know what theory means.

So why bring them into this? Well watch the show, keep in mind that ALL the science the 'Theorists' use is pretty much completely wrong. Now, do you buy what they are telling you? Of course not, it's fricken crazy. You can see they have no concept of how to apply reason to something that they WANT TO BELIEVE IN. Now, can you look at your own religion like you just did those Ancient Alien Theorists? Can you step outside of what you want to believe to see what it actually there... old books disproven long ago. Old myths and legends that might have been useful in the past but have since lost any real meaning. A shackle teaching you how to NOT think about things, that teaches you NOT to question, NOT to learn. If you can do that... Welcome to your freedom.

And don't get me started on Ghost Hunters, or Finding Bigfoot....

Got a little preachy there... I can feel the rush... no Holy Spirit needed:)

Best!

Brett

Oh, and Happy New Year!

EEP! I forgot! Teen Titans 4 came out yesterday!

2011-12-29T14:26:00.001-07:00

Here are the pencils for that last DPS of issue 4. It's easily my favorite issue to ship so far. Frostbite begone!

Also here's an interesting thread on Atheism in the DC Universe. I would have said it wouldn't be possible with all the gods wondering around but this thread changed my thinking a bit. Interesting reasoning.

Backlash 2011

2011-12-27T09:25:00.001-07:00

I couldn't get my creative juices working yesterday. So I decided to work on a sketch (sometimes this helps.) I like redesigning characters so that's why you see all these things:)

This sort of plays on my original design for the character, not that anyone but me and a few others have even seen it. This was just something for fun, there are no plans at this point for him in the DC 52.

Best!

No Superman?!? NOOOOOOO!

2011-12-16T14:21:00.003-07:00

Was just told that this image of Superman go cut from issue 5. Grrr... It would have been faded out as Kal El's not actually in TT5, he's just being talked about. I'm wondering if Scott got a little wordy and they needed more space....

And then I was messing around the other day and decided to redesign Ted Kord a bit for a print Andrew and Norm want to do.

Are the Teen Titans ready to stage an assault on N.O.W.H.E.R.E.? No way! But as Red Robin explains to the rest of his team, they’ll have to rally to save the Superboy from certain death. And through all of this, only Solstice learns a secret Red Robin has been hiding that could tear the team apart just as they have finally come together!

Best!

Original Bunker designs.

2011-12-11T10:58:00.001-07:00

Originally Bunker, AKA Migs, AKA M.A.G. (or Mega Arm Guy) was going to transform into a monster guy. But we scrapped this

Next we were going to try and make him look more like a hugely muscled guy with the skin removed. But we already had 2 strong characters so we scrapped this.

We went back to the monster thing, with this being his final form.

Partially transformed here.

Scott didn't like the spikes so I took them off. He still got scrapped, too much like Bugg... or Skitter.

I'm starting Teen Titans 7 today. So I'll hopefully have a sneak peak in the few day!

This Sunday: No need for Jesus?

2011-12-04T08:58:00.001-07:00

I was reading some blogs and some of the comments I read got me thinking. Modern gene theory, population genetics and evolutionary biology all say that there isn't a magical point were a protohuman became a human. It's a gradual shifting from one to the other. No one even knows where this 'human' shift took place, where Neanderthal like us? Unlike us? Were they what most people would consider human? What about Homo Heidelbergensis? And Erectus?

There have been times in our history when the human population was small but it never hit only 2. This would show up as a genetic bottleneck that didn't happen. We can see in the Cheetah population that something like this did happen around 10,000 years ago so there is precedence for it.

If there was no, for lack of a better term, Adam and Eve... then there would be no original sin (which I always thought was silly idea.) But if there was no Adam and Eve or original sin... then what's the point of Jesus? There is no need for him, he becomes just an interesting idea... well an idea, I never really got why God had to personify himself and then get himself killed... for a sin he made up and forced on us. If he's punishing humans why aren't the humans redeeming themselves?

Anywho, here's an interesting article on 'free will'.

Best!

Brett

Intelligent Design is dead...

2011-11-30T14:49:00.001-07:00

Sorry, I know it's not Sunday but since the IDer's insist it was I think I can get away with it;)

Bunker stuff...

2011-11-23T09:40:00.001-07:00

Over on DC's blog is a short post about Bunker. Over on Bleeding Cool is a short post about Bunker's ass. SOOOOOOOOO Funny! Made my week! And this is a page from issue 5 of Bunker going toe to toe with Superboy... who's ass isn't on this page. But it is on pages 13, 16 and 17 of that issue... so watch for it;P

Hmmm.... maybe I should change the name of the post...

This Sunday; They deserve to DIE! And other things;)

2011-11-20T15:37:00.001-07:00

So there was a large Skepticon convention in Missoura this weekend, and part of the fun was visiting another one of those crazy Creation Museums. Here's an account of the trip. Some interesting reading to the minds of some Creationists. So by this logic, why is suicide an eternal punishment... or why aren't they offing each other and everyone else since they think it's better to be dean than alive? Ah, that strange murky logic.

And over here we have a big ass take down of the ever popular mantra The Nazi's were Darwinists. Not that it will change many minds, as apparently feelings are more important than evidence.

And here's a post on a new book about the evolution of eyes. What's good is half an eye? Why it's better than no eye at all! But seriously, that's not how it works, evolution works in stages, not all or nothing... or half or nothing.

Here's a better image of that Jesus in the dog butt. The face on this one looks like it might have been messed with, but I didn't look to closely!

And then The Pope got caught making out with another religious dude... I guess it's not unexpected... it is unexpected that the dude is old enough to shave;) Cue outrage. Yes I know that's not what it is but it's funnier;P

1:25 Variant cover by BRETT BOOTH and NORM RAPMUND

On sale FEBRUARY 22 • 32 pg, FC, $2.99 US • RATED T

Retailers: This issue will ship with two covers. The variant cover will feature the standard cover in a wraparound format.

In the aftermath of their battle with Superboy, the Teen Titans make a horrifying discovery: Kid Flash has been knocked out of synch! If they are going to save their teammate, the badly beaten and battered teens need to sneak into the New York branch of S.T.A.R. Labs – which means that this issue guest-stars none other than Virgil Hawkins, a.k.a. Static! But if the team was hoping to use the lab for some downtime, they are going to be disappointed, because now they must battle a new, young team of supervillains known only as 2.0! All this and the debut of Kid Flash’s new costume!

I just drew that guy on page 9!

This Sunday: Hail the Cosmic Kitty!

2011-11-06T09:36:00.001-07:00

Pulled from here. It's been photoshopped, but it is funny! And it shows how easily the human mind can be tricked, fooled or messed with. I watched a show a few months ago on either NatGeo or Discovery, were they pulled a 'crime' on some observers, half the people in the initial interview got everything wrong, and later they planted some ringers who purposely gave out wrong info and that got assimilated as fact by those same original observers for a mock trial. The conclusion? Eyewitnesses are NOT evidence nor should what they say happened be trusted. Why is this important? Well the whole notion that people saw Mohammad raise to the heavens or Jesus dying on the cross or even him existing is based on eye witness testimony, if that's unreliable then what proof is there?

It all boils down to a book, or in this case 2 books. Books that offer a few tidbits on morality, some of which are actually good and found in other religions and culture all over the world BEFORE said books were written. And others that are completely bat shit crazy or harmful. So what does it really have to offer? Good feelings? Can't you get those WITHOUT all the red tap and hate that goes with religion?

Sorry, I could go on, but I've read just the most incredible BS about religion these last few weeks, I simply can't get around how people can take it seriously anymore. Boggles the mind

2011-10-23T10:12:00.001-06:00

Sorry, busy this week, so I'm not going to post anything but I'll send you to a few places that I thought were interesting:

Why Evolution is True has a great post about the difference between science and religion.

And since it's Halloween next weekend.... I think... here's an 'interesting' ie; scary site about spreading the Word of God to those heathens on October 31! It's a modern day version of Christians co opting holidays for their own nefarious purpose! It's the Winter Solstice all over again, the horror!

And finally the Bible Stories are 'real' because they are 'true'... or not real but true?! or something;P

Have fun, talk amongst yourselves, I'll chime in if I have time or need a break:)

Ok, just more of me messing around, nothing about this is real. I was simply taking a break, everyone else was having fun at NYCC and I got the hankering to do a new redesign of Max thanks to the SpeedForce interview. So here he is. Tough one, his regular costume is pretty plain so not a lot to work with. But I made him skirting the SpeedForce:)

Oh and Rich, again don't read into this, just me having a spot of fun;P

Norm (left,) Scott (middle,) and Brian Buccellatto (right,) at their signing a few weeks ago for the Teen Titans and Flash 1 release. Thanks to David Hatfield for sending me the pictures of not only the signing but of a few sketches Scott and Norm did:)

Norm can do some great work all on his own:) Can you see who Norm's influence in this image is? Hint: it's not George Perez..

Scott's style had a vaguely South Parkian look to it... Blame Canada!

Thanks again David! I hope everyone there had a great time!

And for you Wally West fans a quicky interview I did for Speedforce about Wally:)

And no Rich, I have no new news to report on him, I'm just a big fan;)

2011-10-06T09:14:00.002-06:00

This time face on. I wanted to mess with the insignia a bit, plus yesterday was my day off and I got tired of reading so I drew this up whilst watching the TV. And again this is NOT part of, the DCnU.. or New 52 or whatever it's being called.

Best!

Brett

This Sunday; Im too tired!

2011-10-02T11:14:00.001-06:00

Sorry, exhausted. I haven't found anything good or what not so here are a few images I got from here, with DINOSAURS!

If you look closely, Jesus doesn't appear to be sitting, he's floating, magic! Or bad art... but since it's sunday, Magic! And of course the awesome logic of Archologists has given us proof that dinosaurs survived the flood because the 'know'.... RIIIIIGHT! I guess they haven't talked to Ancient Alien Theorists yet, they 'know' really it was all Aliens! You don't need evidence when you 'know'. My head just exploded...

And of course what would have actually happened on the ark. Fricken propane stoves! I think that T. rex is from The Last Dinosaur.... It's a good thing they only eat coconuts or Noah would be screwed, maybe that's why they had small arms, just damaged from that explosion! I just solved something, because I 'know' I'm right;P!!!!

Why the dinosaurs this week? Terra Nova... I watched it last Monday. Carnotaurs were OK, the 'Slashers' were far to fat to be leaping around like that. The story.... I think it has the most cliches in movie history, all that was missing was the pregnant mother! Horrible, boring and I was hoping all the humans would be eaten. Seriously, eaten. That's 2 hours I won't ever get back! Well At least Doctor Who was good:)

Ok, back to work!

Best,

Brett

Thank you by way of an issue 5 tease;)

Original Art from Teen Titans #1 will be on display (so that's why I only got issue 2 art back.)

Here's a link to the art!

Egad! He's GAY?!?!

2011-09-18T11:22:00.001-06:00

Breaking news! Ok, not really. Yesterday on the Twitter Gail Simone tweeted:

Gail Simone: Tomorrow I am on a panel not listed on the schedule, WHERE ARE THE GAY SUPERHEROES, at 11:00 am, in Mezzanine 1. It’ll be great!

Brett Booth: We got at least one in Teen Titans:)

Gail Simone: Really? Who is the gay superhero in TT? Can you say?

Brett Booth: Bunker is gay (the purple guy, I know, not my first color choice!)

Brett Booth: We’re trying to make being gay a part of who he is, your gaydar should be pinged right off the bat:)

Gail Simone: Thanks, Brett! I don’t know the character, but I would love to hear about him so I can tell people to look out for him!

Brett Booth: First appearance other than the cover to 1.

Scott and I have done a bunch of interviews and I know I mentioned this to someone... this didn't seem like a big deal to me. But after reading things from multiple news sources I guess it may be. And I do have to commend some of the commenters on Bleeding Cool interesting stuff!

I'll see if I can answer a few things before the "Won't someone think of the children!" hysteria begins (too late I see!)

Let's see, this is from Scott Lobdell:

His real name is Miguel Jose Barragan. He was raised in a very small Mexican village called El Chilar. He was very loved by his family and the village as well -- and they were as accepting of his homosexuality as they were to his super powers when they first manifested. To that end he grew up in an angst-free environment. He was born out of the closet and so he has a very refreshing outlook on life.

So Bunker has been out of both closets since the get go. Why the more flamboyant look? Well it's complicated. I've seen all the other gay superheroes out there, Ok maybe not all. They look just like regular heterosexuals, they act like regular heterosexuals, they just happen to have sex with people of their own gender, under the covers and in the dark. Sure you might get a kiss on a page, but that's all (an no we won't be doing any sex scenes in TT, get your minds OUT of the gutters;)

We wanted to show an interesting character who's homosexuality is part of him, not something that's hidden. Sure they are gay people who you wouldn't know are gay right off the bat, but there are others who are a more flamboyant, and we thought it would be nice to actually see them portrayed in comics. Did we go over the top, I don't think so. I wanted you to know he might be gay as soon as you see him. Our TT is partly about diversity of ANY kind, its about all kinds of teens getting together to help each other. It is a very difficult line to walk, will he be as I've read in some of the comments 'fruity'? Not that I'm aware of. Will he be more effeminate than what we've seen before, the 'typical' gay male comic character, yes. Does it scare the shit out of me that I might inadvertently piss off the group I want to reflect in a positive way, you're damn straight (pun intended!)

The Pink shirt has been changed to blue, it's only pink because his costume is actually showing a bit, we didn't want too many different colors. But I think the blue works just as well. I would have used that image but I don't know if I got that change in my files...

As for the children.. Most simply don't know or don't care. It's not like Migg's is going to be doing a one man gay pride parade. I don't t hink we even mention that he's gay, you see him, you know it, no need to harp on about it. He's just a happy fun loving guy! He won't be wearing anything that I haven't seen at Walmart. Well maybe Target;)

So if you have any questions ask away. If it's about how much you hate homosexuals, please don't bother, I'm pro gay rights and marriage, and rather than give you your 15 minutes I think I'll just delete it. I may be willing to take some heat but I don't enjoy seeing seeing others attacked for no real reason other than being gay. Will I be called a hypocrite because I 'attack' religion? I'm sure I will, but religion is a choice and being gay isn't, sorry creationists, too much science to even go there, so don't!

Seriously, I really wish this wasn't a big deal. It shouldn't be, but that would be in a perfect world.

Let my inevitable skewering begin!

Why so Blue Wally?

2011-09-17T11:35:00.001-06:00

Someone on the DC boards mentioned wanting Wally to be in Blue and Silver. We actually thought of that! Someone also mentioned having a more Jay like hat, it's a bit old school for me, I always wondered how it didn't fly off. My hat always fly off with any sort of wind.

But once again, since Rich Johnston of Bleeding Cool actually emailed me about this yesterday, JUST FOR FUN! Not part of any DCnU or Earth 2. Colors by my partner in crime Andrew Dalhouse.

Best!

Brett

This Sunday, why don't I just shut up?

2011-09-11T18:10:00.003-06:00

So I will, al least this week. Head's hurting, need to get some more work done so I'll send you somewhere else. Somewhere that explains why I do this far better than I can. This Sunday, ask yourselves Why don't Atheists just shut up and stay home?

Read the comments!

Best,

Brett

Too Slow! TT teaser 2!

2011-09-11T10:57:00.001-06:00

That's all for me today! Neck and head are KILLING ME.

A big thanks to Andrew for coloring this up!

Best!

Teen Titans Trailer!

2011-09-10T15:17:00.001-06:00

Scott had this made, cool, yes!

A more finished Wally West/Flash 3

2011-09-07T15:39:00.002-06:00

As promised, another Wally West drawing. Again, this is NOT part of the the DCnU or Earth 2, just me having fun! Plus Andrew is going to color this so I can use it for the Twitter ID;)

Now go! Comic book stores need your monies! And Wally is awesome;)

Best,

Brett

New 52! This week Batgirl!

2011-09-07T11:11:00.001-06:00

This is one of those characters I'd love to draw at DC! I'm so happy they brought Barb back! Now I'm just hoping I'll get a chance to draw her! Her first issue ships today so go pick it up!

Sorry, hurt my neck this morning. So the new Wally picture will be coming in a bit later!

Best!

Brett

Happy Birth Day Freddie!

2011-09-05T12:35:00.000-06:00

Happy B-day Freddie! He would have been 65. Damn that guy was a great singer.

Best,

Brett

This Sunday, Jebus show us what you got!

2011-09-04T16:08:00.000-06:00

Hmmm... well I guess the all seeing all powerful Rick Perry was wrong! God really does hate Texas! I will be fair, we have had a bit of rain, nothing like usual, but it's supposed to be dry like this through next year. So anytime Jebus you've only had 4 months! Out rainy season is just about over so he better get to steppin'!

Best!

Brett

Teen Titans 1 a mere 4 weeks away!

2011-09-04T13:16:00.000-06:00

Scott had an idea for some promo shots awhile ago. We never got around to drawing them all but I thought this would work. I'm told I can't use the tag line I wanted so here it is sans tag!

In case you hadn't noticed I'm running out of sketches!

Best,

Brett

The Wall!

2011-09-03T11:00:00.000-06:00

I won't post Scott's drawing, I think he'd kill me if I did;) But he wanted it simple so we kept it that way.

These were the tweeks Jim made, I actually pulled the brick effect down even further to his right thigh.

Best,

Brett

Breaking news! This character is now called Bunker. Do not panic! Duck and cover and all that!

More Teen Titans Designs!

2011-08-31T15:47:00.001-06:00

The mysterious 'Charcoal Girl'. Not her actual name, but descriptive no? Last night the DCNu started with the release of JL1 and the conclusion of Flashpoint. I have to wait to get my comp copies from DC so I'm a bit bummed. But the rest of you don't have to! Head to you local comic shop or try the digital download thing at Comixology! I would do that myself, but I have limited bandwidth and have no idea how large those files are, so waiting it is!

On a side note Teen Titans #1 went to the printer last Friday, a week early!

And yes, those are my super ultra fancy inks! Now you know why I don't do it!

Have a Happy New 52!

Best,

Brett

#52MYSTERIES

2011-08-29T11:13:00.001-06:00

And there was another Wonder Girl design!

2011-08-29T09:48:00.000-06:00

Sorry about the no feet. I bought some sketch paper that just was horrible, so I had to draw a bit bigger and then the feet got shopped off. It's just a design so no biggie.

Best!

Brett

And yes ANOTHER Kid FLash design.

2011-08-29T09:13:00.000-06:00

A bit to much like an X on his chest so into the dumpster! But it did give Jim and idea, so not completely useless!

Best!

Brett

Comic-Kaze?

2011-08-28T13:00:00.001-06:00

Comic-Kaze TM Fatboy73

Definition:A socially suicidal individual who visits comic book based websites as to bombard them with unsubstantiated
negative views in order to do a perceived damage upon certain individuals for no apparent reason other than pure spite.

Will this offend anyone with Japanese heritage? I know there is a drink named Kamikaze so I'm not sure if it's considered OK to use variations of it for fun.

Anyone?

Best!

Brett

This Sunday: Let's Get Hitched!

2011-08-28T10:05:00.000-06:00

All of these types of Marriage are approved of in the Bible. But Jess tells me the polygany is spelled wrong, that should be polygamy. Anywho, with such a wonderful image as this (I can't remember were I found it!) it's no wonder that Christians want to preserve the 'traditional' marriage. So I guess we now get to choose which kind of marriage we want cause freewill and all that!

Sorry to all the gay people, as you can see traditional marriage is far to perfect to allow you to be happy and because god says it should be so. He's so loving!

I just read this, Pastor Mike wants a list of all Atheists. Nice, compare Atheists to the KKK yet he's the one trying to marginalize people. After that what's next? Camps for our own protection? If we're lucky maybe we'll get some reservations, that's worked so well in the past.

Best!

Brett

More Fanboy Madness!

2011-08-27T23:45:00.002-06:00

So I just want to say thanks to Bleeding Cool for blowing this out of proportion, and then thanks to Henry Saenz email: utsandy@hotmail.com for the kind words. It's always nice to hear from intellectuals.

Best!

Brett

I of course emailed him back to thank Henry for his thoughtful note! And then I heard back again!

We do need a name for these people of love, I don't want to make the actual comic fans annoyed. Any ideas? Trolls are mentioned in the comments... since they tend to infest a bit maybe some kind of pubic lice?

Wonder Woman... with pants!

2011-08-25T09:44:00.001-06:00

Another quicky, I gave her the boots and the pants... I'm not actually sure why I kept the boots on her when I decided to go with the pants... Tired? Me?

Best!

Brett

Them crazy fanboys!

2011-08-24T18:59:00.000-06:00

Oh the stupidity! I was just informed that the person who emailed me privately to bitch me out about the Green Arrow cover posted PART of the exchange on the interwebs, of course redacting his name. Well Merrit I have whole thing so I'll post that. It's only fair to get the whole thing;)

So this is the rest of it. :

Click for big and legible.

So now you know why I did this post!

Sure, I could have been nicer, but attacking me right off the bat... doesn't put me in a good mood. Don't waste my time with something that matters not in the real world. Brett was mean to me, so go get him interwebs! Dude, people have wanted me to die rather than draw there precious characters again.

It does amuse me that I put a gun to his head to make him send me that email. So what have we learned today, don't get pissy with me and I won't get pissy with you.

One other note. If I had been asked to do the covers regularly (I would have refused most likely due to time) I would have looked up archery and the like. I did it for Rex and Bill in the JLA books. I even looked up Detective Chimp. But a quick drawing of someone firing a bow and arrow... a quickly fired arrow at that. I'm sure Oliver had plenty of time to set himself and aim too! Splitter.

Best!

Brett

Edited to add a screenshot because the dialog was not displaying correctly. Let this be a lesson, children. Because if I'm bored, I take these little e-mails and comments, with all identifying information, and I put them up here with additional snarky commentary as a object lesson. If you think Brett is mean, well, I taught him everything he knows. ~Jess

Comments are closed due to the sheer number of entitled fanboys who can't read well. I have to work and don't have time to listen to your complaining.

Wally West Flash!

2011-08-24T17:14:00.001-06:00

PLEASE NOTE (and I do this in bold!) THIS IS NOT, I REPEAT, NOT PART OF THE DC NEW 52!!!

Today I'm taking off to sort of recharge. But my mind is racing with excitement over DC's new 52. So since Wally is my all time favorite DC or Marvel character I thought I'd re imagine him for the DC new.

I won't get into details but I was going for a sort of 18-20 year old Wally between Bart and Barry, a college Wally. I have a few ideas if and when he pops up in the new DC universe, I'd love to get a chance to draw that book! It's funny, I've read some nasty posts that I don't get the love fans have for Wally and Donna, I do. I was with Wally when he first took over for Barry, through Chunk and Speed Demon and the Porcupine Man. If I had to pick one book to work on it would be his. BUT I'm still able to joke about it some, dreams do come true but there is always a down side. Don't take things so seriously, you'll live longer and be happier!

Long live Wally West!

Brett

New Teen Titan page on Twitter!

2011-08-24T09:10:00.001-06:00

I have just posted a new Teen Titans page via the Twitter. It's a page from issue 4 originally the cover it was decided it wasn't flashy enough so we moved it to the inside and added a panel (since there was a page like that on the inside already that had 2 panels.)

So go check out the Twitter thing over there<-------

Best!

This Sunday, we are so fucked!

2011-08-21T10:52:00.003-06:00

So the presidential race is heating up... at least it's got me a-boilin'! Now I don't want to tell people who to vote for, because frankly both parties are in the crapper right now. We need money and the right wants to keep cutting taxes on the rich. And the left is so completely limp they can't get anything done. Obama isn't a democrate he's a middle of the road Republican with no backbone. But this is a Sunday Blasphemy post so on to religion!

Right now the right wing, has several dominionists running for president, what the hell is a dominionist you ask? Why these are the ultra right wing nut jobs who want to force their specific brand of crazy down your throat by making their version of Christianity law, from wiki:

-The goal is either a nation governed by Christians, or a nation governed by a conservative Christian understanding of biblical law-

I'm not talking about the the minor forcing that's being thrust upon us now, I'm talking about a convert or die kind of force. A force that's so behind the times that most people will write it off without really thinking. But remember, Perry has been elected to governor of Texas 3 times... They do have their backers and if everyone else is arguing about the other guys the ultra religious might have enough voters to get one of them elected.

A few more loving sentiments:

1. Dominionists celebrate Christian nationalism, in that they believe that the United States once was, and should once again be, a Christian nation. In this way, they deny the Enlightenment roots of American democracy.
2. Dominionists promote religious supremacy, insofar as they generally do not respect the equality of other religions, or even other versions of Christianity.
3. Dominionists endorse theocratic visions, insofar as they believe that the Ten Commandments, or "biblical law," should be the foundation of American law, and that the U.S. Constitution should be seen as a vehicle for implementing Biblical principles.^[21]

Once again the US was never a Christian Nation, sure some religious type moved here, but that doesn't mean the nation founded in 1776 was founded by Christians, it was founded by people who were pissed off at England. Most might have been Christians but they didn't fight England to be Christians, they fought because of tea and taxes;)

And I can't see religion as supreme to anything... morals being one of them. Forcing yourself on others is called rape. Forcing your religion on others might not be physical but it is mentally damaging. This is also the easiest way to start a civil war because this would do it for me. Sure everyone who didn't get on board could leave, BUT that would give the religious fanatices complete control over out Nuclear Weapons.... they'll get their revelations one way or another leaving them in charge of something like that is just delaying the inevitable.

Now instead of dicking around fighting all time it would be nice if the government actually, you know, did it's job. Compromise is what gets things done, not standoffs... Idiots. That's all I can stomach this week, oh there is that 'miracle' that happened were a Country Pop group didn't go on stage because they were praying so they didn't die when the stage collapsed... while 5 other people did. Praise Jesus! Ugh!

Best,

Brett

Wonder Girl the Warrior?

2011-08-20T10:42:00.002-06:00

Yet another WG design. I have like 5 or 6 more so I'll space them out a bit;)

N.O.W.H.E.R.E. In Teen Titans 1!

2011-08-16T21:13:00.001-06:00

Page 8 of issue 1, the first appearance of N.O.W.H.E.R.E. in Teen Titans. That is of course Red Robin in panel 1. I thought it might be cool to show you the process a page goes through from pencils to colors. While showing off the new baddies.

These are an elite group of agents who take orders from that guy in the center. He's spooky;)

I numbered the agents... so I knew who was doing what. I get confused easily. Here's Norm's inks, fixing all mistakes and filling in al the X's. That means that area should be black.

And the finished colored page from Andrew sans lettering. So who is the faced... facefull... that guy in the middle? Like a Tootsie Pop, the world may never know... until we need to boost the sales, then you're not going to believe who he is... I mean DAMN!!! It's like CRAZY KOOL!... I mean OOOoooOOOo Spooky yes?

More next week.... I might have to sign up for the Twitter to post it though... So maybe not;P

Let the crazy reading into my posts begin!

Best!

Another Wonder Girl Design

2011-08-14T11:00:00.001-06:00

This one almost made it through... until it got Vetoed;) Oh and the other lasso with the pokie things on it isn't barbed wire, it's thorny vines.

Send in the CLONE! Superboy designs.

2011-08-13T15:26:00.001-06:00

This was my first idea for SB. Yes the 'S' is a mess but it's a sketch, not a finished picture. Simple.

This one was a bit more moderny. I gave him a jacket and gloves and some Neo glasses.

Best!

Teen Titans 3 cover

2011-08-11T16:48:00.002-06:00

Just about to start on the issue 4 cover. Needed a few days off to recharge. So in less than a year at DC I've had to draw trains twice so far. In 18 years in the biz these are the only trains I've ever had to draw.

Strange the way things work out:)

Best,

Brett

Red Robin..... YUM!

2011-08-10T20:50:00.000-06:00

Ok Ronnie here ya go! My first sketch of Tim, with the wings back. They don't look exactly like that in the comic but similar. I pulled stuff from the TT cartoon as well, like his computer glove and the leg squares (actually C-4.)

A REALLY basic first idea about the wings from the back.

And here he is with the classic cape with notches cut out. My favorite, but I was out voted. The new wings are growing on me, but don't tell Scott!!!

Best!

Brett

Wonder Girl sketch

2011-08-10T08:50:00.000-06:00

So this was sort of the 'final' costume we did of her. I has been slightly modified from this, specifically her right hand and the amount of red on the costume. Andrew's doing something cool with the star starting in issue 2 so I think I might go back to a darker look for issue 4, which I'll be starting in a few days. I just finished up 3 and need a few days off to recharge:) Issue 4... epic!

World of Flashpoint 3 Cover

Inks by Norm Rapmund and colors by Andrew Dalhouse.

Original pencils. Still waiting to hear from DC, there is a third page from Teen Titans 1 floating around the interwebs I'm trying to see if I can post it since it hasn't been on the 'official' website.

Just about finished with TT3, doing the double page spread from hell today and then 2 pages left. So no Sunday Blaspheme this week while I finish up:(

Best!

This Sunday: Dinosaur Fun!

2011-07-31T10:38:00.003-06:00

Pharyngula posted this amusing illustration this week, very funny! But what's really cool is the arrival of a new feathered dinosaur called Xiaotingia.

Now what's cool about Xiaotingia is that when placed into a cladistic matrix it groups together with Archeopteryx, what was considered the first bird awhile ago (and for awhile the only bird before the end of the Cretaceous.) BUT grouping them together pushes both of them OUT of the bird group and into the 'raptor' group of dinosaurs. So it turns out the great conundrum of paleontology has been solved! We now know Archeopteryx is a dinosaur, not a bird, something that was predicted in the early 80's by the great Gregory S. Paul. Paul, using our knowledge of evolution, made a prediction that later turned out to be true, SCIENCE WIN!

So are you asking yourself why is this in a Sunday Blasphemy post and NOT you dinosaur blog? Well, it turns out that the Creationists seem to think that this invalidates evolution! Ignore the fact that Archeopteryx has been considered a sister taxon to birds for quite a number of years, because science changed to fit the evidence that makes it false to the Creationists... My head it hurting just trying to attempt the mental gymnastics... Science is self correcting, when new evidence turns up and is proven to be true, we have to re-evaluate and incorporate that new knowledge into current thinking, something creationists refuse to do. We know the earth isn't 6,000 years old, we have trees older than that. We have evidence that Egypt was already a great city WITH writing about 100-180 years AFTER creation... I'm not sure if that would be possible to go from basically nothing to a fully civilized nation that fast... Adam and Eve would still be alive if you go by Creation science! Some other new thinking, is that the Big Bang wasn't the 'beginning' of the universe, it's just the last point we can go back to because the explosion obscures everything before it! Science Channel has some good shows on Wednesday!

And finally, we have this great webpage about God destroying the dinosaurs! It's a bit old, 1995, but since Creation science hasn't actually done anything except repeat verses from a 2,000 year old book this would be very modern thinking indeed! Enjoy as I did!

A few more tidbits to look over:

Taking down some IDiocy!

Why a crazy sect of Jews thinks it's OK to kill babies. Relax they used to do it all the time, Old Testament style!

And you may have noticed I haven't commented on the Norwegian Nut, I'm still not really sure if that was religiously motivated or rightwingish, or just plain crazy. It seems xenophobic so since I can't make up my mind I'm not going to play the blame game, Fox News can do that;) (Sarcastic yes?!)

Best!

Listen Up Fanboys and Girls.

2011-07-29T14:44:00.001-06:00

If I get anymore annoying emails about this and that, I will stop posting any DC related art, news or whatnot. My email is for work, art sales and my friends, not for listening to whatever you've decided to bitch about today.

Learn some manners, emailing people out of blue to bitch is childish and I will not be nice about it. Do it again and I will publicly post it along with a tirade.

Brett

Ah, the Fandom!

2011-07-28T11:24:00.002-06:00

The offending image!

A few weeks ago I made a comment about drawing Wally and Donna in issue 2, along with a winking smiley face like this;)

Apparently some people took this as a confirmation that Wally and Donna are in the new DCU....even though I said that wasn't the whole truth inthe comments... Grrrr. This was a JOKE! Issue 2 takes place right before Halloween so there are lots of people in costumes running around. But DC is worried you might think this actually IS Wally and Donna so I had to change it... (Just so you know, Donna is about the same size as Wally so that's clearly not Donna.) Catwoman, Superman and a very hairy Batgirl are also on the same page. So, thanks for jumping the gun! I know you guys are starved for info, but it's only a few months away all (or some) will be explained;) <----- See, not serious right there.

You have NO idea how much I really want to mess with everyone right now. But I'm trying to be good. If I say something that isn't clear or MIGHT be a joke, ask me for confirmation.

Best,

Brett

This Sunday, ALIENS!

2011-07-17T11:03:00.003-06:00

Ok, so it's not the norm, but our modern view of aliens has been tainted by the religious view of humans being perfect, made in Gods image and the pinnacle of evolution. Here is a very interesting talk in blog form about wrong this would actually be, if you know, we could find some.

So how is this Blasphemy you ask...? Well the Jedi religion is a budding religion, so I thought I'd pick on them this week;) Weak, but they really are to easy a target, and I think Triumph the insult comic dog tore them up so bad on Conan they really can never recover, so we have to go easy on them;)

Teen Titans 2!

TEEN TITANS #2
Written by SCOTT LOBDELL
Art and cover by BRETT BOOTH and NORM RAPMUND
On sale OCTOBER 26 • 32 pg, FC, $2.99 US • RATED T
A strange creature haunts the streets of Los Angeles… and because of this creature’s age, both Red Robin and N.O.W.H.E.R.E. are racing to find her – but neither side is prepared for the horror known as Bugg!
Meanwhile, Superboy is on a collision course with the team, and Kid Flash plots his escape from N.O.W.H.E.R.E. with the most unexpected of allies!

It's a spooky issue! Here are the pencils as well:) Just finished the cover to 3 and that TT 100 pinup this week. Now I'm a few pages into issue 3.

Internet UP!

2011-07-13T00:13:00.000-06:00

Well the local guys seem to be quite a bit better than the home office;) Got a brand new dish and modem:)

I will try to get to the comments in the morning!

Internet down!

2011-07-11T13:22:00.002-06:00

Lost our home internet yesterday, the repair guy is supposed to be out in the next week or so (sucks to live out here sometimes!) So if I don't respond, that would be why.

Best!

This Sunday is a bit raunchy;)

2011-07-10T10:52:00.002-06:00

A very funny and NSFW video of part of a Billy Connolly show. I do love this guy, he always makes me laugh. "Never trust people who only have one fucking book!" Awesome!

And then there is this. An actual scientist took the Creation 'science' and applied it to the Dinosaurs on Noah's Arc. Turns out that Creationist have proven evolution! Thanks, now can we please stop arguing about it!

Best!

This Sunday is Nuts!

2011-06-26T09:26:00.000-06:00

Well, willfully ignorant to say the least. Yes this is a map of a flat(ish) Earth. Not done in the dark ages or a thousand years ago, or even before Magellan circumnavigated the globe. This was done in the 1890's buy guess what? A creationist! Now I know most creationists don't believe this, but if you click on the image you can actually read the text, and there is no doubt about it this is what some creationists thought the Earth according to the Bible was like. I posted this to illustrate a point, using the Bible or Koran or whatever sacred text you hold dear that tries to explain the natural world but has no real knowledge ofit, leads to bad thinking, this map was disproven even before it was made (like thousands of years before) but because the Bible says the Earth is Flat (I'm not entirely convinced by those passages) the Map Maker willfully ignored that and followed his 'heart'. There are STILL people today who think the Earth is flat... it would be funny if it weren't so sad.

Map from here! And do click on it, it's a beautiful map, right down to the scientists being flung off the spinning globe!

What else do we have this week, well it looks like a little girl took Ken Ham's advice and asked a tour guide at NASA:

I went to a NASA display of a moon rock and a lady said, "This Moon-rock is 3.75 billion years old!" Guess what I asked for the first time ever?
"Um, may I ask a question?"
And she said, "Of course."
I said, in my most polite voice, "Were you there?"
Love, Emma B

The post is about what an actual scientist thinks is a better question... "How do you know?" Why ask that? Because you might actually learn something. I think EVERYONE needs to read the post.

But just to be a jerk (like I'm being accused at the Outhouse, Juggernaught Fanboy you suck as well!) creationists. Where you there when Jesus was born, Died? Where you there when Adam and Eve ate that fruit? Where you there when God 'created' the Earth? No of course not it's a stupid question in these cases, just like it's a stupid question to ask a human if they were alive 3 billion years ago, you already know the answer. But read the post and it WILL tell you how we know that rock is 3 billion years old.

And of course old Ken Hammy completely misses the point and has a shit fit. They are truly the gift that keeps on giving... if you like the crazy;)

And then lastly, I guess they found me! At a gathering of Texas exorcists, one of thinks they know the answer!

"Pfeifer said he believes there is demonic influence in West Texas manifested through cults…

I want a cult! It's easier to hate God if you have a cult... seriously;)

That better M.O.R.?

Best!

Teen Titans 1 cover pencils

2011-06-25T16:45:00.001-06:00

Still nothing from DC on posting more stuff, so here are the pencils to cover #1.

Oh, and my original Bart design, I was hoping to use it for the letters page... but that didn't happen. I had posted it as Wally, but I lied;)

Best,

Brett
