Your avatar is by Mike Kevan. I'm trying to post the link, but it won't let me.
That's it!
Thank YOU, and thank you again, Mike Kevan!
Can I pretend the gorilla is Gorilla Grodd?
I insist upon it!
I noticed your icon on my dashboard, and I was wondering what it is. It looks somewhat like Catman, but the body is rather ape-like. Is there a larger version somewhere you can show us?
It's a gorilla in a Catman suit, and I feel like a complete jerk because the name of the lovely gentleman who drew that for me is escaping me right now. Can anyone help remind me, who drew this avatar, please?
Urgh.
Watching someone I respect fail, fail, fail, and I have no idea how to tell them how wrong they are.

I had planned to finish up the mainline Secret Six characters with Deadshot and Ragdoll, but for some reason, I had an urge to draw Black Alice. The De Carlo influence is all over the profile here, but I think the rest derives from Toth and Los Bros Hernandez. I can't really think of an Archie equivalent, and, indeed, the inspiration for this was taken from one of De Carlo's non-Archie romance comics of the 1950s, as well as a cosplayer whose name I can't find. Lots of fun black spotting here. I had to restrain myself from doing anything more than pure black and white. I've tried to completely omit optical grays. This was a fun challenge. Pitt pens and a Copic marker on 60 lb. Caslon drawing paper. (via Black Alice by ~doctor-morbius on deviantART)
Oh, my god, Black Alice Vs. Sabrina!
WOULD KILL TO WRITE.
This is gorgeous!

After waking up the next day and discovering I still had Secret Six brainworms, I went back and finished this properly (you can still see the first version here).
So from left:
Knockout larger than life and ready to hit something, and watching her lover's back
Scandal Savage with her lamentation blades
Catman, being all cat like and threatening, with his mate Deadshot at his back (also, canonically bisexual, so cue Deadshot/Catman slash) and his cape flaring in the wind. Dramatically.
Harley Quinn, sticking her head out for a cheeky cameo
Deadshot, not really caring what's going on, but all suited up
Jeannette, all provocative and deadly, and languid, draped around her current boyfriend, Deadshot, and her cloak flowing out dramatically.
Bane, lurking menacingly at the back and keeping an eye on everyone
Black Alice, being magical and floaty and sulky punkish/emo teenager
And the unique Ragdoll down in the corner, like a kaleidoscopic spider, wearing the Hatter's hat (I suspect Ragdoll …disposed of the Hatter on their way in for this group shot).The real reason I put the team name in the background? Partly because it seemed to fit, casually graffiti-ing their name around. Partly to see how long people took to go "…wait. That's not six!"
I love this so much I can't express it.
