Hero's Son - Chapter 17"I heard about the incident, I'm just here to make sure he's okay." Flare's voice was commanding but soft and filled with concern.

"I told you people at the funeral, stay away from my family." Mom seemed unphased by his natural charisma.

"We're just trying to help."

"Like you helped my husband?" She tossed it in his face.

"He needs to be around people like him, people who understand."

"I'm his mother, I understand him. He needs to be around normal people."

"We can help if you let us." He was almost pleading.

"I don't want your help and I don't need it. Now leave, leave us alone."

"We took care of everything from yesterday. Neither he

Hero's Son - Chapter 16"Mom, I have these powers for a reason." I pleaded.

"No, no. End of discussion." It was the fourth time we'd had the same fight in the twenty-four hours since my powers manifested. "You might have superpowers but you are still my son and I'm the parent in this house. You will go to school, forget about your powers and live a normal life."

"But I-"

"End of discussion."

"But-"

"End of discussion!"

"Fine!" I stomped into my bedroom and slammed the door. It cracked in half and crashed off its hinges. I'd have to learn to be more careful with my super strength.

Mom called the police and reported her car stolen. Some officers came over, ques

Hero's Son - Chapter 15The flight home was unceremonious to say the least. Carrying Franklin was easy, he felt light as a feather. Now the art of flying, that is a different story altogether. It's kind of like learning how to swim, but harder. You use muscles you never knew you had, and learn balance in an entirely new way.

"Tree! Tree! Owwwww!" Franklin whined.

"Watch the shingles-" scrape "ouch!"

Light post, look out- damn!"

We slid to a stop in my backyard, two lanky teens rolling in the dusty grass. I started brushing grass stains from my jeans when I noticed how messed up my clothes were. Pants torn, stained with dirt, t-shirt tattered and riddled with hol

Hero's Son - Chapter 14My shoulder met Arcblade's chest. The blue sword fizzled harmlessly as I rammed him into a nearby oak. Adrenaline surged though my body; I swung a wild fist at his chest, a rib snapped as I connected.

He howled in agony. My left hand shot out and my fingers tensed around his slender neck. My right hand balled into a fist and I punched him in the side of the head. His jawbone cracked as it tore through his pale skin. Green eyes rolled into the back of his head and his body went limp. I reeled my fist back to strike again.

Something stopped me suddenly. I stood, panting, holding Arcblade unconscious and bleeding. Looking over his twisted form

Hero's Son - Chapter 13Franklin rose to his feet. "Don't think I'll make it easy!" In true Franklin fashion he charged Arcblade.

"Aw, hell." I jumped up and followed after, grabbing a twisted hunk of metal from the remains of mom's car. Franklin punched at the madman, who side stepped and easily backhanded Franklin in the face. Arcblade followed with a spin kick which knocked Franklin to the pavement.

I swung the hunk of metal wildly at Arcblade's head. He parried effortlessly and cut the twisted hunk of metal in two. He spun with practiced grace and punched me in the nose. I reeled, my vision flashed black as tears of pain filled my eyes.

He could have killed u

The Dark Knight's Revengeby ~abouelse

Cartoons & Comics / Traditional Media / Comics / Strips

So, I'm not upset that The Dark Knight got snubbed by the Oscars. But, I know someone who might be.

This is my, second attempt working with Copic markers. You can probably tell, I still have a long way to go before I get used to them.

Hahaha cheeky chappy! Love it!

~abouelse Jan 12, 2013

Thanks Mike! Some day I will be half the Copic Wizard you are and then I'll be happy.

I have not used Copics, but I have used Trias, I hear that they are quite similar though as they're both alchol based. What paper are you using with them?

~abouelse Jan 11, 2013

This is just bristol board. I love smooth board for inking. Any suggestions though on paper? Or tips on marker use?

I'm working on both watercolor and copics kind of learning them at the same time.

~doodler89 Jan 12, 2013 General Artist

It may be an obvious choice, but marker paper is always good, it bleeds less I find then a lot of other papers, I've heard people talk about using card but neer tried it myself, apparently it blends better, but with that it's going to bleed more. The only good advice I have had about using markers is to work quickly, but having said that if you go too quickly then, while avoiding streaks, you can end up with very inconsistant colour, because in some areas you faster than others, and it so in some areas it's lighter than others, I find it best to go slower but try to colour next to the edges of the colour (this is hard to explain, are you following at all?)

Watercolours are a whole other beast. For a long time I tried to control them and ended up hating them, I find it best now to be looser with them, let them do their in thing and flow, and it just works a lot better. Having said that you can get some very neat colouring with them too. Rule of thumb for me has been: less water = more control. But you have to be careful not to go in to dry brushing territory, it's a very fine balance, you've probably heard before that they are one of the most unforgiving mediums to work with.

~abouelse Jan 25, 2013

Thanks for the advice.

I of course, didn't even know marker paper was a thing. The bleed is the bad thing. I'm working on bristol and with the lighter colors I've noticed it's pulling the ink and smudging it. I'm not sure if that's me or the paper.

I'll hopefully have my second watercolor piece done this weekend. We'll see how it goes.

~doodler89 Jan 25, 2013 General Artist

We all have to learn some time.

Hmm...the paper shouldn't cause that, at least I don't think so...Of course, using alcohol based markers you have to make sure that your pens are "marker-proof". Also, how long are leaving between inking and colouring? Make sure you give enough time for the ink to properly dry.
