My Grove of Delights: Team Titans -- as they were supposed to be!

Team Titans -- as they were supposed to be!

To make a long story short, in the 90s DC were going to do a series called Team Titans that would be a different take on the whole 'Titans' business, set in a 60s-esque world that was the direct product of a craaaazy mind (Harlequin, from way back in Teen Titans v1). They got some really great talent on the project, everyone was really excited to tackle it...

...and then the idiot editors, as usual, completely ruined it by shifting it to be a really weak attempt at imitating X-Force, which they mistakenly thought would be a popular move. I guess hindsight is always 20/20, huh guys?

Anyway, I decided to draw the Team Titans in what I imagined would be their look if the book had really done what it was supposed to do. I wish it had. It would be the first original, different Titans perspective they would have done in ages, and it would probably still have a following now, looking back on it and saying 'man, why couldn't they do all their stuff like this? It was so distinctive and unique!'

The character concepts were good. The realisation unfortunately wasn't. But for you, Team Titans...here's what could have been!

KEEP THE ART COMING!

If you want me to do art for you, you can request or commission me. All you have to do is email me at hushicho at gmail dot com!

Request means that you ask me to do a piece of art for you or your comic. With a request, I generally decide the characters, medium, subject matter, and so forth. Requests are generally done very quickly, but I can't guarantee when they will be done because I am doing them out of kindness.

Commission means that you are hiring me to do a piece of work to your specifications. If you commission me, you get to decide what you want in your picture. Commissions are always done quickly, because if I'm making money off of them, I can place them into my work schedule.

Whether you want art or not, or even if you just want a sketch and for me to decide, you can always donate. It doesn't have to be a lot. But every little bit helps me to keep doing what I do, and doing what I do for you. Go here to toss me a few bucks!

Thanks!

Rules, Guidelines, and Things to Remember

Welcome to my sketch blog, My Grove of Delights!

The purpose of the Grove is to allow me to post sketches, casual pieces, and works in progress for your enjoyment. I hope you'll have a great time and visit regularly! You don't have to ask me to link to the Grove...just go right ahead! I'll probably even link back if you ask nicely.

Just a few things to keep in mind:

The blog is not for all audiences. There will be plenty of nudity (which, while not adult content, isn't for everyone), sex and sexuality, and in general things that you wouldn't show to any and all people.

Just because I sketch a character doesn't mean I own the copyright for them or that I'm claiming to. You'll see sketches here of characters from things I don't own. Some of them may be sketch requests from people who do comics and want me to sketch their characters. Some of them will just be things I do on my own. Even if I don't own the characters, my work is still allowed under fair use and parody. So please don't try to get all uppity if I post a picture of Batman. I do try to note the copyright and, if possible, give a link to everyone I do sketches for.

If you're a government employee, you have to go. Sorry, but it seems that more and more, people with power can't quite grasp the important difference between reality and fantasy. If you're employed by them, I don't want to take the chance. Please find another blog to enjoy.

If you are otherwise not supposed to be here for any reason, you shouldn't be here. But I don't have the time or desire to try and regulate each and every one of my visitors. I will trust you to be responsible and only be here if you are responsible for anything resulting from that.
