For all that recently the icon limit for extra icons was increased to 100, I haven't even filled the previous 50 slots. Partly that's because of the challenges my icon theme presents. Like for this Nightwing icon: my avatar in its natural form is very much unsuited to the typical Dick Grayson body poses. Not quite as unsuited as I am, but it is far easier to draw my avatar lounging in some fashion, evidenced in my icons showing it dozing in a hammock, reading on a sofa, lying in front of a tv or buried beneath comics while reading...I guess it is much like me that way. :) Anyway, non-sedentary "action poses" always require me to adjust its proportions more towards the athletic, well, somewhat athletic, and even then it looks somewhat unnatural.

Still, I wanted a Nightwing icon, with my Nightwing!Avatar flying in front of a nighttime skyline. So here's my 30th icon:


It sort of suffered from being resized to just 100x100px but I hope it's still recognizable. If you want to see a somewhat larger version of the sketch, I posted it behind the cut.

I love it! Nightcreature! *g*

Thanks!

Aww, for cute!

[ratcreature]

Cute comes so much more easily than "grim and brooding" for my avatar, even in Batverse related icons... *grin*

...And still, he manages to make one want to pick him up and cuddle him.

Heh, true. Wanting to cuddle Dick is a totally understandable impulse, I mean, why wouldn't one? And your Bat-Mite/Dick icon is very cool. Dick is stalked by his fans canon-style. ;)

Oh Lord HEART. SO MUCH HEART.

You make me want to do more Dick-related posts just so you'll USE THAT. *bwee*

[ratcreature]

Glad you like it, and well, more Dick-related posts are always a good thing. :)
