I always like to know how and where the inspiration for characters come from. I create characters all day long. And I can create them from the simplest of things or events. So when new characters that play a somewhat large part in a story appear that obviously have a long history connected to each other, in this case Creote and Savant-
I wanna know. How did they come to be?
I have a slight theory… I try to follow everything Gail Simone posts and says. I can’t follow her every post everywhere- I’m not a stalker- but I am a fan. I know she posted she originally had a concept for a Male Black Canary when she was first approached to write the Birds (which I’m not going to lie, I’m a bit obsessed with this concept of a Male Black Canary). I can’t help but wonder if Savant grew from some of the discarded seeds of the Male Black Canary. I definitely see a similarity, a blurred mirror image or inverse concept between him and Canary (as well as him and Oracle, but that’s another story).

Introducing the Blonde Bombshell and the ‘Mean one’
and I don’t mean Black Canary and Huntress.
One of the most memorable ‘things’ to come out of Gail Simone’s run on the Birds has to be Savant and Creote. I remember that first issue and being bothered that my first “real” monthly arc I was going to be reading of the Birds, Oracle and Canary were already getting their butts handed to them. But I quickly got over it. I was so interested to see how the girls were going to show them how bad an idea it is to mess with the Birds of Prey. Little did I know how much I would end up loving Creote and Savant by the end of series.

@gailsimone tweeted last week about a hypothetical Secret Six team, and I was very curious what that might look like, so I threw this together, to see. I kind of want to do more, with more Secret Six shenanigans instead of the more generic “super” poses. The bizarre adventures this team could have!
Totally available to do covers.

The Movement #11
Reblogging because it’s a better scan.
Probably the saddest thing for me about ending the book, as a writer, is that I don’t get to show this relationship growing.

I just want a team book with Deadpool, Strix, Vengeance Moth, Black Canary, and Red Sonja.
IS THAT WRONG.
I would SO read this book.

It’s a good thing they didn’t put Kelly Sue and I next to each other or it would have just been us high-fiving the entire time.
I LOVE YOU, KELLY SUE!
