@stefanie.m @RobArt471 Thanks! I think it’s turning out well for having never heard of the character prior to ~24 hours ago.

FWIW, Richie is loosely based on Rick Stone from the comics. Except he evolves in to something completely different. (And way more fun. I just got to A League of Their Own, @stefanie.m, and Hawkgirl/Richie might be my new favorite animated odd couple relationship.)

Just to confirm, this is a request from @THE_OneAndOnly_Official_Batman, not a request for a photo of a Superman/Batman hybrid? (Or Superman with a Batman shaped hole in him?) Right? I’m new to this, guys.

Lol, I didn’t mean it that way, but yes! I picture it evolving like an animated version of Cullen & Midnighter. But on the down low, and with far more “this is how you smash, Richie” type fight training. This is my head canon and you can not change it. (Unless the episodes I haven’t seen yet explicitly contradict it. Or you manage to revive the show and contradict it.)

I don’t know if I can pull it off, but I have ideas…

They are adorable! And I know there’s no changing head canons lol.

Oh lord could you even imagine.

Looking forward to it! :+1:

Not that I am finished with one(I am finishing my LoT Hawkman currently). Are we holding onto these until the end of the month or submitting them as they done during the month?

I’ll open up a submission thread and you can post when ready.

I have opened up the submission thread. Y’know, I just realized I called this ‘MAY I Request’ and it just happens to be the MAY challenge. I really didn’t do that on purpose, but it totally fits! :laughing:

It will be cool to draw the Christopher Reeve Superman! I will also enjoy drawing the Michael Keaton Batman (the best one I will fight for it) as realistic as possible. I previously drew him out of bats when I included him on a poster for the Flash (drawn with lightning bolts).

Just a tip @JKoco17 it would have notified me if I was tagged in the suggestions; I happened to see the submission thread and went back to see the request.
Also be very careful with requests as they need to follow fan art guidelines for the site. It is very easy to violate and not know it, trust me.

Thanks for the tip. I found out as we were doing the April collaboration that the site only lets us tag 10 people in a post. So the plan in my head was to let requests roll in and then add reminder posts at the bottom with 10 people a piece to make sure they knew of their requests.

Nice Flash and Batman, by the way. I don’t think I’ve seen that one before.

I also think Keaton was the best Batman, but I think Affleck had the best suit

Thanks! It was when I started with my Batman drawn entirely with tiny bats. Then, I was on a roll (or glutton for punishment, depending on how you look at it) so I drew Flash using tiny lightning bolts and so I threw Michael Keaton in there drawn with bats as this was when the rumors came out he was going to be in the next Flash movie. Then, I added to my pain as someone made the suggestion for Red Death and I drew him using lightning bats.

Yeah, I just wanted to make sure you were aware as I don’t want anyone violating the rules and having artwork removed.

I would agree with you, Keaton for Batman/Bruce Wayne, but Affleck for the suit. Dark Knight Returns vibe

@JKoco17 can I make some requests?
If so, I’d like to see the following:
Flash (Wally West), Impulse and Max Mercury all running towards battle - @RobArt471
Catwoman examining a diamond she just stole - @stefanie.m
Batman and Joker laughing together-NY
Kyle Rayner versus Hal Jordan - JK
