Hope is a Thing with Feathers

Summary:

A 5-page comic based on the poem, Hope is a Thing with Feathers by Emily Dickenson. Featuring (some of) the Robins.

Notes:

I posted this on tumblr already, but I felt that this would be another good place to dump this while I try and make myself work on my larger Superboy project.

Edit: Does anyone know how to make the images fit whatever your screen size is? When I checked this on my phone, it was too big.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Notes:

Done with colored pencil and india ink. I did some editing in photoshop ( which is obvious from page 4, where it’s overdone. )

I often think about what Robin, and what being Robin, means. This is a soft exploration of the concept. If I was a little more coherent, I would write an entire essay about what Robin means. I like how it’s something different to each one of them– and what they bring to the uniform and to us.

I know this isn’t ALL of the folks that have worn the uniform over the years, but these are the ones I’ve actually, y’know … read and/or watched. With the notable exception of Grace Kelley. I had so much anxiety over trying to fit her into the page with Duke, that I had to leave her out. And that’s AFTER having to talk myself down from a panic when I couldn’t fit Duke into the big group shot on page 2.

P.S. How do you make that little white line go away? I haven't messed with HTML since like, 2005.
