Awesome Oracle (B. Gordon) cosplay

 I don't know if this is cosplay as opposed to being well staged photography but which ever you consider it this photo really hits it out of the park! I love it and so should you. And I didn't even get into how cute the young lady is posing as Barb. Don't piss her off or she'll hack into Skynet's defense mainframe and order a drone strike on you. Or worse, she'll obtain all your personal information go shopping on your dime.

How about some new Suicide Squad fan art from the Ostrander series?

I've been meaning to do some fan art of  Duchess for a while now and lately I've been on a role artistically speaking. Duchess was one of my favorite Squad members during her tenure with Task Force X. I always liked how she used call everybody worms. It's too bad she eventually had to turn bad again and reclaim her alter ego as Lashina of the Female Furies and cause one of the biggest Squad fiascoes ever. But it also made for one of the best Suicide Squad story arcs too.
For this piece I thought it might be a nice touch to have her flanked by Bronze Tiger and Deadshot. This is the first time I've illustrated BT with out his tiger Mask. It's always good to diversify your work a bit here and there. I think hands and faces are always the hardest things to draw. And faces can be especially challenging with black n' white drawings that feature characters of certain ethnic backgrounds.

While drawing this I started becoming sentimental (yet again!) about the John Ostrander days. So at this time I would like to dedicate this Ugly Kid Joe song I've always been rather fond of to DC Comics and their relaunch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byEGjLU2egA&NR=1&feature=endscreen
