Description Okay, first of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEIMEI DARLING!!        

I had been working on a totally different piece for Meimei's birthday gift originally, one that was going to give everyone a peek into a scene for Legacy-Bound... But evil!Fantasia wasn't cooperating with me (what a surprise) and Ozma's coloring got botched, so I trashed that piece in a ragefit.

I was actually watching the S:tAS episode "The Hand Of Fate" while drawing this lineart last night, which in a way, was somewhat oddly appropriate. The idea of Ozma with Spooks wouldn't leave me alone after my first failed piece, and I partially blame this on a conversation Mei and I had ages ago concerning Spooks trying to convince Ozma to use a particularly bad vigilante catchphrase.

And yes, just in case you're surprised, it's been sort of a thing between Meimei and I that we believe that Ozma and Spooks would somehow wind up working together, given their particular missions in Gotham. Technically, they're both ghost-snatchers and general occult-and-magic investigators. So it's only a matter of time before the 24-year-old wolf-witch and the 16-year-old half-demon hipster would meet up as their costumed alter egos. It would be one turbulent and chaotic party of a relationship between the two (particularly given their abilities to drive one another up a royal wall,) but in the end they'd make one bad-ass team. Which of course, Spooks is trying to convince Ozma of here. (She's not too thrilled and probably making some backhanded compliment or subtly passive-aggressive remark.)

Gosh it's been forever since I've drawn Spooks, and yet for some reason, he just comes so naturally to me still. And I've NEVER drawn Ozma, I really need to draw her more. (And plus I just need to draw her more as Dorothy as well, because I need to show her friendship with Mercutio and the world just needs more DoRemus shipping art.)

[EDIT:] AND NOW IN COLOR!! 8D [/EDIT]

Once again, happy birthday, doll! X3

I think there's another one with color in my gallery somewhere? I can link you to it if you wish.

If you're not happy with his design anymore, perhaps a redesign, even if you don't use him as much, would be a good drawing exercise? says the design stuck girl who marvels at her inability to think of a character's mindset on a costume.

Eh, I'd say I teeter back and forth? Plus I run into the issue of I have so many DC OCs (particularly for Batman purposes) that I often tend to neglect many of them for extended periods of time until muse hits me over the head. Unfortunately, Spooks is presently in that category, though he's going to make a comeback with a lot of my 2ndGen characters soon, because of "Legacy-Bound." (Which I've slowly been secretly working on despite my need to focus on other fics right now.) Still, I may sooner or later have to draw his "casual" designs. Drawing him in uniform too often gets boring.

Wardrobes are hard but fun. I got tired of drawing Eleri as Witchlit constantly. (I'm working on a piece in her nightclothes~ Her sisters are in it.) But its up to you, afterall. (2ndGen sounds fun~)

Agreed. I'd say that's why I'm prone to trying to switch up my character Leslie's outfit often? Leslie's a little rich girl at the start of "Courting Vipers" and very fashion-oriented anyway, so when I get tired of drawing other characters in the same things all the time, Leslie's my excuse to start switching things up. But dang it all, you're pushing me to want to do more outfits for all of my characters. 8( OH MY GOSH I NEED TO SEE THIS. 83 XD And I probably will. You're pushing me to better myself. (I could try filling you in a bit? Or letting you take a look at the chapters I already have hiding in my Sta.sh? It's up to you; I imagine you'd probably rather not, as reading can take a while, plus it'd be hard to follow as you're not going to be familiar with any of the 2ndGen babbus at all. )

I only draw wardrobes for more or less what I'm alright with people drawing her with. Like if Person Z decided I'ma draw Eleri in her formalwear, I can be like "Great, here's a reference". But it also shows the type of style she'd be interested in. Like the strange kinda modern Victorian style. I did a few for Adien but that was more for boredom at the time. fav.me/d7bzq83

Funny story- when I was 13, we were doing a musical at school called Back to the 80's. One of the leads was playing a nerdy guy. He had to sing Video Killed the Radio Star. During a rehearsal, he was singing it in the spotlight with the chorus (me) stood in a U shape behind him doing what I like to call the Penguin Dance. Basically, we had to bob side to side (that nearly came out as boob) with our hands at a 90 degree angle from our wrists like a penguin. I digress. So he sang the song fine and then came the final bar and then his final note. "I AAAAAAAAAAAAAM THE RADIO STAR!" And as he sang the word star, his voice broke. Funniest thing ever.

Oh my gosh. I hope you know that I saw this reply comment of yours before I left for work, and all day I've been trying to imagine an adolescent Welsh boy singing that song. It's proven very amusing for my day. X3

Pair it with a fake American accent with a nerdy nasal thingie and it's even funnier~

The nerds Ozma has to put up with, as if the ghost dork in her broom wasn't enough.  What is she a babysitter?

Perhaps all that time growing up with Merry Pendragon for a friend has given people the wrong impression they can just toss their brats on Dorothy and all that.

X3 You're always welcome, doll! *hugs* The world needs more Dorothy.  And I shall color it, one of these days!

Glad to hear that! Spooks is certainly enjoying himself! Poor Ozma's not too happy though.
