Characters: Shift, Puppet!Nightwing, Puppet!Arsenal
Rating: G
Media used: pencil drawing (still to be cleaned up and colored)
Warnings: None
Notes/comments: Still a WIP, this are the finished pencils, but I'm going to color it. It's an illustration for sister_wolf's Nightwing/Arsenal ficlet Show, inspired by this: "[...] Shift forms his hands into little puppet versions of Arsenal and Nightwing and mimes them beating up on each other like Punch and Judy."

I love Shift's expression. He's got such a fun sense of humour.

[ratcreature]

Thank you. His mouth like I've drawn it is actually rather too wide for regular face, which was accidental, but I liked the expression too and figured that since he's a shapeshifter anatomical rules don't necessarily apply anyway.

That is so insanely awesome!!! Even better than it looked in my head. Eeee!

[ratcreature]

I'm glad you like it! I was worried that it might look wrong to you, because I have actually no idea about Shift's ability to form that much detail on the puppets. I mean I don't remember any scenes of him morphing like that in the comics or the exact limits of his abilities, but then I'm rather behind on my Outsiders reading. I just thought it would look fun if the morphed hands looked like real puppets of Nightwing and Arsenal not just like something with more or less puppet form.

OHMYGOSH. That is so cute! I died of cute!

[ratcreature]

Yeah, they totally are cute. I'm glad you like it. :)

Actually, I think I'm still waiting for the DC version of that Angel episode when he was turned into a muppet. I mean, if they'e done this already, I've missed it, but if they haven't, DC totally should have an insane supervillain turn some superhero team into muppets. The fearsome felt versions would be awesome...
