Literature fan art parody movie poster - Clip Studio Paint sketch, inking, and color. Use permission granted by author.

"She's a superpowered villainess that can and will steal anything she wants and look good doing it. He's a mid-tier rock magazine journalist doing puff pieces for celebrities. She's got a plan to up her notoriety. He's about to get the story of his career. Todd Chapman is...INTERVIEWING LEATHER."

I've been in a major slump with lots of things going on of late, but I happened upon a fairly older, but new to me, story written by Eric Burns-White, set in today's world except with superheroes and villains and a small percentage of the population that develops certain degrees of superpowers. As normally happens to me when things in RL get heavy, I turn to reading, and I completely got hooked, not only in this story from the writer but also his several others projects as they pertain to this story. You can check out what he does at banter-latte.com/ , and also here on dA at , among other places I am sure on the internet; Interviewing Leather, Todd Chapman, Leather, and Eve Shapiro are © him. I thank him for creating characters and themes within a familiar comic book genre that is compelling to venture into, along with a style of storytelling that I favor.

Scene: I think you all can figure out the parody in this "movie poster" Thank you, Roy Orbison!

Todd Chapman: Fanart for Mr. Burns-White's stories is in relatively short supply, and Chapman himself is not described exactly in detail so far as I know. So I took some of the only existing art I located and came up with a nondescript image, not blending in enough to be a spy, but not a face that stands out that much, either. I realize for those of you that have read the works that Chapman doesn't wear a suit, but to maintain the integrity of the parody, I went with it, and hey, maybe he does buy a few suits later on as his popularity grows. Most of his coloring ended up being shading with little highlights.

Leather: The eponymous supervillainess and main attraction of the story was easier to conceptualize, if not replicate, as there is much more description of her looks, along with Mr. Burns-White's own artwork of her, which I would consider canon. Therefore I went by his reference materials, which is complicated given her shiny outfit, multicolored hair, and overall elaborate visage. Leather has a smaller frame overall than the poster of the parody, but I matched as best as I could. Due to her outfit, I had to follow several references closely with both shading and highlights, including mixing both cel shading and soft shading.

This is completely out of left field for what you expect out of me, but I needed to get some creativity out of my head in regards to all of this reading that I tore through, and artwork is a good method to do so for me, even though my skills have lapsed a bit. And as you longtime watchers know, I also very rarely ever work with OC's, but despite that and the lack of my usual DiD focus, I hope you all appreciate the effort and, if you are into studies on superhero and villain archetypes in a present day setting, that you will try out the story for yourself.

Cheers!
