Showering Nathan with buckets of love

With a heavy heart we bid a fond farewell to the Loquacious Master Jester of the Drawbridge Studios, Mr. Nathan "I shower in a bucket" Schreiber. Though he'll still be contributing to this blog, he'll no longer be a physical presence down under the bridge in Gowanus like the rest of us common trolls. Good luck in Santa Fe, Nathan, we'll miss you.

New Gods

The first issue of the "New Gods" I ever saw was at a rummage sale, and it
featured "Mantis." I've had a soft spot for him ever since.
Why? I don't know.
I redesigned him slightly.

He needed a bigger, more conical-like helmet.

Halloween

Yes,
I spent more time than usual on today's image as this is Halloween!
The most wonderful time of the year.

Shell game

Back to Drawbridge after a week long honeymoon in Cape Cod!
Thus the theme today.

You know...lots of odd people in Cape Cod.

Dazzler redesign

“Dazzler redesign”
With NYCC taking over NYC for the rest of the week, Simon thought we would redesign Dazzler’s costume this Wednesday over at Drawbridge.

I redesigned her. Period. And tied George for wordiness.

You can read her sad history here if you want:

My redesgn:
Deepesh Lord of light and sun!
Born in Delhi , the daughter of the goddess Lakshmi and a human scientist, Deepesh is imbued with the power to turn her mantra chants into blinding light.

Being young and untrained though, she accidentally blinded herself at age 12 when she disobeyed her mother and put on a massive lazar light show using her powers.

Now she wanders the Earth, as punishment for being so disobedient, helping mortals with the aid of her magic cat, Dhruv who acts as her eyes when needed and often eats Lasagna to the detriment of his health.

Pleiades

The theme today is Pleiades.
You can read more about the "Pleiades: Famous Seven Sisters"here:

I know George will take care of the mythological aspect of this theme so I did a bit of a Halloween sci-fi take on it.

Leland chose "Monkey" as the theme today...

Back in Baby's arms...

One morning you got some burly 26 inch guns, the next morning this. I bet the real salt in the wound was the diaper, though.

Robert Mitchum's rich inner life!

If you ever wanted to know what Mitchum was thinking about during Night of the Hunter...
