TEACH YOUR KIDS

Since Jason was originally ginger and dyed it (in some continuities), the affinity for sunburns came with it.

Dick: “Jason, we have to go.”

Jason: “I know I know, I just have to apply my second layer of sunscreen.“

Dick: “You always do this—Wait, is that spf 200? Where did you get that?”

Jason: “Crime lord activities.”

This is perfect.

Danny is late 20’s-early 30’s. He’s at the height of his power and he’s seen some stuff. Danny climbs the job ladder until he is the Head Engineer at Wayne Tech.

Hi I just wanted to say that for Danny in the strike Au in the scene where you say that they find a pile of strikes clothes and Phantom right there, I would say that everyone would think they were dating possibly.

Like clearly the tracker wasn't on for too long like it was accidentally turned on and then immediately turned off again. So when they burst into the scene thinking kidnapping however they find piles of clothes and Phantom right there....

The assumption would form...

And I don't know how Danny in this a you would react, however he is a commit to the bit type of person from what I've come to understand AU so I think he would go with it to be honest.

Just wanted to share my thoughts with you cuz I love your au!

That is a funny dilemma and I fully see the angle you're getting at, esp with the some of the fun ideas I've seen floating around regarding mistaken identity. In another universe were the AU is more light hearted, I can totally see him playing along with the idea of dating himself to get the bats off of his back.

However, I am a mean person and much like any character in canon or au, oc or not, I like them to suffer and not get what they want or need. I do no like romance, even jokingly; that ghost boy will be hurt by someone trying to kill him. He's going to think he deserves it, maybe he does. Also I really need to redraw that piece if I ever have the time. I need to make it worse.

So, I saw this image on Facebook, and it was supposedly showing what Queen Nefertiti would have looked like in real life:

Now, I thought this AI generated garbage was just truly terrible on a number of levels; first off, she looks wayyyyyy too modern - her makeup is very “Hollywood glamour”, she looks airbrushed and de-aged, and as far as I’m aware, Ancient Egyptians didn’t have mascara, glitter-based eyeshadows and lip gloss. Secondly, her features are exceptionally whitewashed in every sense - this is pretty standard for AI as racial bias is prevalent in feeding AI algorithms, but I genuinely thought a depiction of such a known individual would not exhibit such euro-centric features. Thirdly, the outfit was massively desaturated and didn’t take pigment loss into consideration, and while I *do* like the look of the neck attire, it's not at all accurate (plus, again, AI confusion on the detailing is evident).

So, this inspired me to alter the image on the left to be more accurate based off the sculpture’s features. I looked into Ancient Egyptian makeup and looked at references for kohl eyeliner and clay-based facial pigment (rouge was used on cheeks, charcoal-based powder/paste was used to darken and elongate eyebrows), and I looked at pre-existing images of Nefertiti, both her mummy and other reconstructions. While doing this, I found photos of a 3D scanned sculpture made by scientists at the University of Bristol and chose to collage the neck jewellery over the painting (and edited the lighting and shadows as best as I could).

Something I see a lot of in facial recreations of mummies is maintaining the elongated and skinny facial features as seen on preserved bodies - however, fat, muscle and cartilage shrink/disappear post mortem, regardless of preservation quality; Queen Nefertiti had art created of her in life, and these pieces are invaluable to developing an accurate portrayal of her, whether stylistic or realistic in nature.

And hey, while I don't think my adjustments are perfect (especially the neck area), I *do* believe it is a huge improvement to the original image I chose to work on top of.

I really liked working on this project for the last few days, and I think I may continue to work on it further to perfect it. But, until then, I hope you enjoy!
