A Day In The Life Of The Prankster
Superman #660 (The Art Of The Prank)
My redesign of Oberon Sexton: The Thin White Duke Of Death
For about 300 years, the Murakami Family was a part of Japanese royalty, with many of their descendants being raised to be kings, lords, and queens. Himiko was raised to be one of these nobles, and was given everything she ever asked for on a silver platter. When she turned 15, her narcissistic, abusive and self-righteous father decided he wanted to humble his family by living amongst the commoners, much to the dismay of everyone else. Given that Japan had been ruled by the rich 1% from the comfort of the flying city of New Tokyo and the poor had been left to decay in squalid conditions, the commoners saw an opportunity to release their rage on one of the former nobles. The family was constantly harassed by everyone, when all they wanted was to live a peaceful life. Eventually, Himiko’s mother succumbed to illness and died within a month, and she would’ve survived if they’d been living in their palace with the finest doctors. Then one fateful day, the commoners laid siege to their home, strung Himiko, her father, and her sister to the wall, and burned down their house. On that day, something inside of Himiko snapped, and she swore that no matter what, she’d get back at everyone, and burn down everything and everyone they love. She then killed her father, changed her identity, and joined a powerful Yakuza mob, gradually working her way up the ranks until she was the right hand assistant of the leader. She then poisoned and killed him by sprinkling a poisonous lotus flower in his food. Overtaking the crime family, she turned their headquarters into an underground network of assassins called "The Lotus Network", taking the name Lady Lotus. In a year, she was able to take over the entire criminal underworld of Japan, making herself one of the most powerful people in the country. Having established true order in her country, Himiko became a better leader than most of the politicians running Japan, so much so that she became a member of Japanese high society, though she had no desire to join New Tokyo's society, seeing it for the shallow garden of narcissism and apathy it truly is. She ran Japan better than anyone else, as she actually gave a shit about the people living under her. When she took control, she made the economy stable, provided free health care, and made sure everyone in Japan was happy and content. Unfortunately, she made things better through a lot of shed blood. Deciding that Earth would be a better place with her as its benevolent queen, Lady Lotus set her sights on the entire world. No matter the cost, she'll make the world a better place.
Carmilla Carmine Tribute (Power & Control)
This is a song I found that I think fits Carmilla Carmine, the Swan Demoness, from Hazbin Hotel perfectly. Give it a listen!
Let’s play a game:
Who can guess where I got this badass cane and how much it cost?
V
I just wanted to draw V from V for Vendetta, though I chose to stick closer to the graphic novel design instead of the movie. How does it look?
Superman: Childish Things - Cast
Winslow & Mary Schott used to be the happiest toy makers in Britain, and were even the heads of their own company: Schott Toys. Winslow himself was a mechanical genius, as many of the toys he designed were extremely advanced twists on older concepts, such as the Smart Teddy. Winslow also had a strong love of children, and was essentially a big child himself. Unfortunately, all happy days come to an end. After Mary was killed in a car crash, Winslow signed on with a big corporation in order to bring happiness to children all over the world. Unfortunately, that company turned out to be a subsidiary of Lexcorp, who secretly sold Schott's advanced toy designs to weapons manufacturers. Heartbroken & enraged when he found out, an already mentally unwell Winslow snapped. In revenge, he mailed a booby trapped teddy bear to the executive who cheated him. When he turned it on, the bear exploded, killing him instantly. Winslow then moved to Metropolis in order to get revenge on the head of the corporation: Lex Luthor. Unfortunately, Superman had to intervene. After first being captured, Winslow befriends another Superman villain, Oswald Loomis: The Prankster. Forming a partnership, the two break out of prison in order to kill Lex Luthor while distracting the Man Of Steel.
