Patreon Pin Up 8/20/18
Added 2018-08-20 23:02:12 +0000 UTCAs I often do, I came up with the pose before I decided what character to draw this week. And since this pose looked especially submissive I figured a younger character would fit best. (But not too young. Let's not go nuts. Come to think of it Batgirl is eighteen right? Hello?) I did my best to feature what I assume is her current costume, or at least a recent one. She certainly looks more utilitarian and combat-functional than she did when I was introduced to her on the old Batman Animated Series. Back then she dressed like a Batman themed cheerleader. Which was rad.
Anyhow I don't think I've ever picked up a Batgirl comic in my life, but I'm a bit of a rare case: I consider myself a Batman fan, and am ever interested in new media featuring the character and his universe...except in comic books.
Strange I know, I love Batman but simply don't care for the comics he's in. I find them depressing and frankly kind of gross, seeming to rely heavily on increasingly shocking violence to keep readers engaged. I think the issue where Joker sliced his own face off to wear as a mask(?) was the last one I read. Though to be fair, that was years ago. It's possible they've changed since then. What do you think? Are those comics worth me giving them another shot now? Let me know.
Thinking I might do another barely legal DC sidekick next week. I'm trying to come up with someone who could go up against Wonder Girl in a poll. If you have any ideas I'd be happy to hear them.

That's the one, the Batgirl with the full-face mask that looked like it was based on the Tim Burton Catwoman. Hugely popular character, until the mid-00s when they hideously derailed her character and made her evil because fuck you, I'm Dan Didio, I don't gotta explain shit.

2018-08-22 21:39:15 +0000 UTCI think I'm familiar with her. She was the one from No Man's Land right? The one that didn't talk? It's been a long time since I read that one.

2018-08-22 21:28:54 +0000 UTCCassandra Cain is still my favourite Batgirl. She had an amazing backstory, a do-or-die resilience to beat the Bat himself, and her and Spoiler were just fucking adorable together.

2018-08-22 18:43:45 +0000 UTCI remember someone making a fancomic joking about Donna writing an autobiography. The title was "Your Guess Is As Good As Mine". (For those unfamiliar with comics, Donna Troy arose from a misunderstanding between artists and several writers have given her different origin stories)

2018-08-22 06:13:53 +0000 UTCI kind of took it to be more coerced/unsure, because of her expression.

2018-08-22 06:00:30 +0000 UTCFun fact: Wonder Girl was created by a continuity error! Wonder Woman used to get involved in stories with her past selves: Wonder Girl & Wonder Tot. The writer of the new "Teen Titans" feature didn't realize that was a time travel thing, and so just dropped a Wonder Girl onto the Titans, assuming it was a separate person! So the jokes about "Who Is Donna Troy?" and her mysterious origin have been going on SINCE THE SIXTIES, and have never let up, since DC keeps screwing around with it (she was an adopted baby! Then a literal clone of Diana! Then she was a relic of the Pre-Crisis Universe!).

2018-08-22 05:56:06 +0000 UTCIt doesn't look rapey, just that she didn't like the taste of cum.

2018-08-22 00:56:26 +0000 UTCYeah that's one of those weird "wait how long has it been since you first started?" unexplained question
That black guy
2018-08-22 00:39:54 +0000 UTCI guess there are so many iterations of the character her age tends to vary. Oh well, just wanted to be sure the reference I used wasn't from a time-traveling sixteen year old version of the character. But I suppose even if that were the case, I've aged up younger characters before. As for Jessie Quick, man I am hearing a lot of names for the first time today. I'll have to do some research.
Reinbach
2018-08-22 00:02:45 +0000 UTCCool! I'll have to look into her. :)
Reinbach
2018-08-22 00:00:38 +0000 UTCHey thanks for the suggestions and for bringing me up to speed on the comics. That's two requests for Stargirl now. I've never heard of her myself, seems as though I should look her up.
Reinbach
2018-08-21 23:59:34 +0000 UTCCool thanks for sharing!
Reinbach
2018-08-21 23:57:48 +0000 UTCGood to know, I wasn't aware there was more than one Wonder Girl, though in hindsight I should have guessed.
Reinbach
2018-08-21 23:57:27 +0000 UTCAh, good to know. She sure looked to be depicted younger than that in that cover where she was taking a selfie, which is what used for costume reference.
Reinbach
2018-08-21 23:54:56 +0000 UTCReally? I didn't mean for things to look too rapey. I'd hoped the notion that she was taking her own clothes off would show she was in favor of the action, (if a little reluctant.) But that's something I'll have to be careful about.
Reinbach
2018-08-21 23:53:46 +0000 UTCThe costume you used is from a set of issues batgirls new 52 series where she moves from Gotham to burnside. It's a good little run just as good as the run where Commissioor Gordon becomes cop version of Batman.
alex baker
2018-08-21 23:52:49 +0000 UTCI'd watch it! :D
Reinbach
2018-08-21 23:52:18 +0000 UTCWell I did do Raven relatively recently, but Stargirl is a new one for me.
Reinbach
2018-08-21 23:52:02 +0000 UTCJust curious, why is it called the Burnside costume?
Reinbach
2018-08-21 23:50:23 +0000 UTCWell as a general rule these pin ups are single character, as they need to be something I can finish in one day. But Holly Robinson is definitely someone I haven't drawn.
Reinbach
2018-08-21 23:49:41 +0000 UTCDonna is my Comic Book Wife- I would vote for her any day. Long black hair, a sweet personality, and low standards in male partners- what's not to love :) ?
ScuzzBucket
2018-08-21 19:16:19 +0000 UTCYou could put both Wonder Girls up against each other in the poll. Donna Troy vs Cassandra Sandsmark
Angelo
2018-08-21 07:14:52 +0000 UTCBat girl is supposed to be in her mid 20s just her frame makes her look teen aged
That black guy
2018-08-21 06:38:49 +0000 UTCHey, there's plenty of Mary Marvel smut out there. She's of-age, too :).
ScuzzBucket
2018-08-21 05:30:30 +0000 UTCEven though this looks totally hot, she looks like she's not a fan of getting a mouth full of cum. As for another DC character, I agree with Super Girl.

2018-08-21 02:06:16 +0000 UTCbarbara banged bruce in "killing joke" the animated movie and hinted it in the tv series "batman and beyond" im sure shes legal

2018-08-21 01:11:18 +0000 UTCBarbara is actually a full grown adult as far as I know. As for the burnside costume, it's fashionable (looks great for looking cool) but not for fighting. As for a new pin up, why not go with Jessie Quick? She's not barely legal, but she's quite attractive and moves almost as fast as Casey.
MAR
2018-08-21 00:46:01 +0000 UTCHa ha, goddamn. That’s so submissive she almost looks drugged/coerced into this. Regarding the Batgirl book, it was gory for a while , then turned into Fun Teen/College Drama, and then a boring writer took over, and I left. Regarding her age, initially Batgirl was older than Nightwing, then she was a SENATOR, which makes her 30+. She looked noticeably dowdy when the Joker crippled her. She was revised to the "just above Nightwing" age post-Crisis, but has since gotten younger-looking lately, to the point where she's barely college-aged now... despite having been allied with Batman for years. Her purple costume comes from the modern trend in female costumes, where they're very cowl-y and have sporty, spunky little designs. Sometimes it works better than others- I think hers and Spider-Gwen's look pretty good, but I'm a sucker for the Yvonne Craig original from the '60s show. Regarding teen heroines, Cyclone is my favorited DC character ever- exciteable, overly chatty, red hair and freckles. She’s PERFECT.

2018-08-21 00:29:11 +0000 UTCOkay, this is a long one, buckle up. 1. Her Batgirl of Burnside costume, the one you've depicted, is for the most part pretty functional and cool. With the sole exception that for some fucking reason they decided to draw her with these yellow boots with laces that are way too long, and are always coming untied. They love the gag of "Oops, she accidentally dodged a lethal projectile by bending down to tie her stupid boot at an opportune moment!" Barbara Gordon is supposed to be one of the smartest people in the DCU, and yet she can't figure out double-knotting a fucking shoelace so it stays tied? I hate it, I hate it, I hate it so goddamned much. 2. The Batman comics got worse before they got better, the New 52 was rough all around. There was a period after the face-off where Joker came back and he was immortal and after foiling him and his big city-wide attack, Bruce lost his memory and stopped being Batman and they roped Jim Gordon into it, riding a big blue bat-mech. I'm not even fucking kidding. Thankfully though, it is better now. Tom King, the current Batman writer is probably gonna go down as one of the all-time greats. The beginning of his run is probably a good place to start. 3. If you're looking for younger(but not too young) DC girls who are like college-aged, not counting Supergirl because you used her recently, here are a few good candidates: Stephanie Brown(Spoiler, also had a stint as Batgirl pre-New 52), Harper Row(Bluebird), Natalie Irons(Steel, after her uncle John Henry Irons the original Steel...she's also canonically a lesbian, if that factors in), Courtney Whitmore(Stargirl), Donna Troy, Lilith Clay(Omen), Ravager(Rose Wilson).
Senoj Nai
2018-08-21 00:12:56 +0000 UTCI say Raven or Stargirl (Courtney Whitmore)
David Miller
2018-08-20 23:24:39 +0000 UTCThanks. The Carrie Kelly version of Robin could also be a good option. Or if you're looking for BARELY legal, theres always Mary Marvel, but I think thatd be a bit too weird.
Kyle O'Neill
2018-08-20 23:21:49 +0000 UTCI love that you used the Burnside costume good choice
alex baker
2018-08-20 23:20:33 +0000 UTCMaybe Holly Robinson with another girl?
Vitrumist
2018-08-20 23:16:05 +0000 UTCMiss Martian could work, I haven't drawn her in ages. But I did Supergirl relatively recently. It was before I started tagging posts though I think, so I just attached the image above if you want to check it out.
Reinbach
2018-08-20 23:10:37 +0000 UTCSupergirl and Miss Martian are always good options
