I’ve been doodling a revised costume for Darkseid<\/a> on and off for several months (because that’s how I entertain myself), but I finally hunkered down and drew a finished sketch:<\/p>\n

\nYou’ll note that I have changed Darkseid’s mini-skirt into a tunic over leggings. I kept the go-go boots though, because girlfriend can pull them off. The Omega<\/a> motif refers to Darkseid’s Omega Beams naturally, but also refers to, you know, the end of all existence. I imagine this as some sort of triumphant future version of Darkseid<\/p>\n

I have been sleeping poorly, but on the plus side, I’ve been drawing a lot while marathoning How I Met Your Mother<\/a> on Netflix. The show is not without its faults–but the cast is strong, and the narrative structure is compelling. I confess that after shotgunning five or so seasons in the span of less than two weeks, I’ve started to get wrapped up in the lives of these characters. Also, I get emotional if I’m alone and have been sleep deprived. So when the episode about the death of Marshall’s dad<\/a> came on at 2am while I was drawing Darkseid, yeah, I cried like a little baby.<\/p>\n

I DENY THE ANTI-LIFE EQUATION<\/a>, DARKSEID! WITH PERFORMANCES BOTH MOVING AND LAUGH-INDUCING BY EARTHLINGS SUCH AS JASON SEGEL<\/a>, I SEE THAT EXISTENCE IS NOT FUTILE! DO YOU SEE, DARKSEID!? EVEN A WEIRDO RECLUSE SUCH AS I WILL SHED TEARS FOR THESE FICTIONAL MORTALS!<\/p>\n

I DENY YOU, DARKSEID! I DENY YOU!<\/p>\n

Okay, time for bed.<\/p>\n
