Color My World

I've wanted to do this for a while.

For Christmas Eve every year, I have my relatives over. Timberlake's got an arrangement with Santa so that he comes to the houses in the Village before his yearly rounds and drops off a present or two. So my house is popular with my nephews and neices and Goddaughter. And, of course, waiting for Santa is always a trial for them. I remember it was for me.

So I got the idea that I should do a coloring book for them. This desire was increased by the new Brave and the Bold series on Cartoon Network. It's a fun show, but it's also just so frakkin' pretty. The character designs are just gorgeous (thanks in large part to artist Mike Manley) and I'm trying to figure out the way those characters are built. I decided to put the two of them together and try to do some Brave and the Bold-esque coloring book illustrations.

Some of them came out really well and are shown here. The actual coloring book breakdown includes Firestorm, Aquaman, Captain Marvel, Mary Marvel, Doctor Doom, Thor, Iron Man, Black Lightning, Hawkgirl and more. I did more the clean-shaven Jim Aparo Aquaman for the cover instead of the design they did for the actual cartoon. I still think it looks pretty cool.

If there's any interest, maybe I'll post the PDF so you can print your own for those of you who have kids who might enjoy it.
