Description Artemis Crock of Young Justice. For some reason it didn't bother me that her real name is the same as her hero name. This one is like several weeks old I think.

She's my fav in the team. The series started out with me liking everyone equally with Superboy being my least favourite, though I did like him more in season 2, but I liked her character arc the most by the end of season one.

Tried a new colouring technique that I'm not too used to with this one, drew it in grayscale and then used gradient maps and additional colour adjustments.

Really nice art, Pose is great, actiony and dynamic and heroic. Artemis could probably be colored a bit darker though but I like how the colors are executed in general. Also I really like that hair. 



But Yeah Artemis is really cool, and one of the few characters who's character arc really got lots of focus in both season (the other being M'gann). I disagree with you about Superboy though, thought he was better handled in Season one. He had a more likable personality in season 2 but he just became so irrelevant and most everything he did was tied to M'gann's arc. He was pretty much a satellite character, Wally had the same problem to a significantly worse degree. Superboy also got worfed to the point where I had a hard time taking him seriously in fight scenes.

Thank you. I don't know if you meant overall or just her skin, but i would have liked for her skin to be darker but got a bit lazy with fiddling with the gradient map, bringing the darker colours up made other parts too dark and I just left that part and didn't go back to it. I like how they had her hair quite practical and non-fussy, but couldn't help adding locks that came lose from action for movement.


I didn't dislike Superboy, he just interested me the least, was a bit tired of the angry angsty pretty boy trope at that point, but I'll admit it objectively made sense in the story so it's just personal preference.


*SPOLERS for anyone it may concern*

I wanted to see more of Wally and Artemis, I agree Wally wasn't in it nearly enough. They also didn't have enough time to properly mourn his death and let the effects sink in because they had to rush wrapping everything up. Ironic compared to Artemis's fake death which had more breathing space for us to see how the other characters coped.


The second season hints how all the characters have gotten close and bonded over the years the show skipped, which I really liked, but I wanted to see more of it happening, but I understand they didn't have enough episodes for that and had to streamline it and keep the story focused. I think a lot of the shortcomings of season 2 were because it was so prematurely cut short. I was quite disappointed I didn't get to see Static Shock and co in action as fully fledged heroes or as official members of the team, I especially kept looking forward to Virgil becoming Static Shock, but the story stops right as that happened. It looked like they were setting them up do to more but because the show got cancelled they didn't get to do whatever they had planned so they seemed a bit redundant.

 Oh this is excellent! I really like the muscle definition on her arms; it's very realistic. The kind of faded color scheme is nice and relaxing too despite the dynamic pose. It's a nice contrast. I'm totally in love with her hands and face also.
