Harley

Welcome to "John Delaney's Sketch of the Week"! Out of the kindness of his art, John Delaney is doing something big for the fans - an exclusive weekly Toon Zone sketch! Every week, John Delaney will draw up a new picture based on the results of the poll above. That means that *we* fans choose what the picture will be! The contest will begin every Monday, and end at 5pm the following Friday, giving fans a solid five days to choose. You can only vote ONCE ! Delaney will then draw the sketch over the weekend and we'll present at the beginning of the following week. The characters must be DC characters drawn in the Animated style, and if you have any requests for future polls, send me an email with your ideas! Sound good? You can also post your thoughts on the poll in this thread.
So...let the voting begin on "John Delaney's Sketch of the Week"!
P.S. Keep on sending those requests in!!!

Not sure where to go with this one....but I'm leaning towards the Powerpuff Gals...just cause to see them in AS Style would be hella cool...
Think I'll save my vote this week, and see where things are on Friday...

Arrgh! Nightwing or Aztek...Gotta go with Aztek and hope he pulls it out this time. Hey he's got 25% of the vote right now (granted that's out of 4 people but hey, i tried)

And Aztek is some DC guy..i dunno

Part of me is saying to vote for The Penguin out of sympathy for Penguin. :) But another part of me, the hormonal fanboy part of me is screaming to vote Kara. :p
I think I be like naraht and vote later in the week.

Aztek is a character that was created by Grant Morrisson and had a promenent role in JLA for a while. This was, in my opinion, one of the most underrated characters ever to have a comic series and was actually an awesome book to read.

I think everyone needs to look deep inside themselves and find the character they want to see most. Then vote for Darkseid because he's the best one on the list.

Howdy all,
OK, totally not fair putting STAS Supergirl and the Scarlet Witch in the same poll. Just needed to get that off my chest.
That said, I had to pick the redhead. And because she's cool and underexposed (meaning she doesn't show up and do as much in the comics as she should...get your minds out of the gutter!) and might have a bit of the Zatanna halo effect going for her.
I fully expect by the end of the week that Wanda will have exactly one vote for her (mine), but that's OK. Go for the underdog.

I agree with The Dark Knight, Darkseid is the best choice on there. He would make a very interesting sketch, whereas characters like Supergirl and Nightwing have pretty basic, simple designs. It's important to vote for characters that will make good sketches, and if you dont like it, ey-- tell it to the Pope!

I'd just like to point out how appropriate it is that Orion has no votes thus far. What a worthless and mundane character. I was really hoping he'd be one of the one's killed off at the end of Grant Morrison's run.
Cap got my vote.

Darkseid: "The difference is, Kalibak, I like Orion and I don't like you."
Kalibak: "What must I do to get you to accept me as your son?"
Darkseid: "Begone from my sight; I must strategize. I am being vanquished by the likes of Supergirl, Nightwing, and ... Captain America?"

I have to totally agree with whoever first said how unfair it is when two or three really awesome characters are all on the same list!!!
Twilight, I love the Adora picture, and now that you've mentionned it, I am going to ask Harley to put She-Ra on the list as well!
As for my vote, I requested both Darkseid and Supergirl, but I think Darkseid will end up with tons of votes anyways, so my vote goes to Kara!
Penguin, I'm so sorry that I didn't help you in your cause, but as long as Harley keeps putting such awesome characters back-to-back, I won't be able to give you that sympathy vote :( :( :(

I had to go with Nightwing. He's just so cool.
I voted Superman because I know Mr. Delaney mentioned he'd like to draw him here. I hope Nightwing is around next week though, if he doesn't win. He is my number 2 choice.

Did you actually view the results before voting? Darkseid isn't even in third place. Now all you people not voting for Darkseid: stop that.
Randy H
01-29-2002, 04:15 PM
Ok, I guess I can't complain too much with Supergirl currently in the lead, but cmon, people! Vote Darkseid! Hey, even if we only get a tie, we might be able to convince John to do an "in battle" sketch of the two characters!
I just wish I could count on one poll where neither Batman or the female characters won. I know, last week was a tie, but admit it, the only reason Ivy won was because she was female. In fact the only female in the poll, if memory serves...
I also have to ask, why Nightwing? I love Nightwing, too, but his design is so limited it doesn't make for very interesting sketches. John's JL highlights might add some detail, but Nightwing's design might look weird with them on it. Again, I'm not bashing Dick, I loved the character and the design, but I just don't see many possibilities with the sketch. Besides, who cares about Batman-related characters anyway? ;)
Again, VOTE DARKSEID!!!!!! PLEASE! Harley has to be getting tired of my whining! :) Think about it..... Omega Beams..... flaming pits.... boom tubes..... And John's JL highlights are already built in! :D
Later,
Randy H
P.S. Besides, if nothing else, a Darkseid sketch would make a great background to go along with Terminatah's quotes! :)

I voted for Nightwing, and here's hoping it's the current comic book version done in the animated style, as opposed to the TNBA design. No offense, but I was never really big on that outfit or hairstyle.

It's way more even than it was this time last week I offer you the ultimate bribe. Cast your vote for Darkseid and we will exchange our newborn sons, mine to be raised by you and yours to be raised by me. The treaty will require your full influence to carry Darkseid to victory and end the voting war between both sides. Now let's trade kids to make this thing final.

Yeah, if Nightwing is picked, I'd like to see a more comic-like design for him, rather than his TNBA design.

Thinking back to the Batman/ Joker sketch, I think I know a way John could help out the poor guys who can't drum up enough support for their favorite supervillians:
If Nightwing Wings, Dick could be dragging Penguin's broken body behind him. :)
If Supergirl wins, Darkseid could be dragging Kara's broken body behind him. :D

I feel like singing, don't ask me why! I'm sure Superman will get his sketch pretty soon, it's just that since this whole Delaney/sketching poll only started a few weeks ago, people are much more ravenous to get to see the characters that don't get enough spotlight in the animated style.
Personally, though, I think it would be awesome to see John do a farewell Superman sketch the week of the last "Superman Adventure". I'm really going to miss that title.... :(
James Harvey
01-30-2002, 09:35 AM
I can't believe the final issue hits a week from today. It would be a fitting tribute, but we already ask alot of Delaney, and it's be unfair to ask him to do more. We just gotta wai tot see how things pan out. We should have Superman on the poll next week, though.
Randy H
01-30-2002, 10:29 AM
Ok, I have to ask, why do people keep voting for Superman at this stage of the game? :confused: He's obviously not going to win, so we super-fans should be putting our support behind Kara, not Kal. I want Superman and Darkseid, too, but I just don't think they have a shot anymore, so all you super-fans out there start supporting Kara! Let's have a Superman character win for once!

Hey Kats
I too am sad to see the Superman Adventures go. My all-time favorite work I've done in the animated style was the Superman Adventures "Superman vs Lobo" one shot. If you haven't seen it yet, please pick one up. Mike Manley inked it and he is one of the finest animated style inkers out there. He really gets the thick n thin style down and it was an absolute pleasure to work with him and writer David Micheline. I still enjoy looking at that book today.
So as a farewell gesture to a great comic I would be happy to do a drawing of the Man of Steel as an extra. I'll send it along with this weeks winner of the poll.
But c'mon let's try to avoid a tie, three drawings *whew* ;)
Cheers

Pengy, how's about you and I make a deal.
Next week, the final issue of Superman Adventures ships in, and I think it would be great to see Supes win the poll so that John could draw a tribute image. Now, I can tell you're getting tired of not seeing Penguin win, and I would like to help you, but I just feel that it would touching to see Clark fly again...one last time...through Delaney's artwork. Truth is, I've never even voted for Kal-El in this poll, but somehow this feels like something we owe him...a sort of thank you for 66 amazing issues.
Here's what I propose: I'll vote for Penguin in the poll after next weeks' one, and do my best to muster up some support for your cause, and was wondering if you'd do the same for Superman next week. Sound good? That way we all win!

Mr. Delaney, if Nightwing does win, can you please not draw the mullet? I really don't like the Nightwing design on the TNBA show. I'm sure the majority of the people here will agree with me. If he does win, please make him like the comic book version. Now that's a Nightwing that looks cool! :D

01-31-2002, 03:03 PM
or..if he (Nightwing) does win.....draw him in your own style..you're own vision...
then again, you're already doing a sketch (sometimes 2..) a week for us...so, I don't feel I should even ask that... :D

Randy H
01-31-2002, 03:48 PM
Arright, I have to say that the comic book design for Nightwing is a piece of junk. I never have liked it. The design for TNBA is a very good design for animation. It's sleek and stylized, and easily animated. That said, its lack of detail doesn't do much for me in a single sketch. In animation, the design is magic- but it needs some more detail for still sketches... In comparison to the comic book design, the TNBA design looks like gold.
If we have to have Nightwing, I hope John does a TNBA design with added JL highlights. Then again, the highlights could be better kept to a minimum, as Nightiwng's sleek design could be marred by too many highlights.
John- do what you normally do. You seem to have the magic!

What do you mean Darkseid has no chance of catching up? The last poll had 125 total votes, and so far only 97 people have voted. All Darkseid needs is 9 votes, so don't give up.
James Harvey

I was just about to post this! He still has a real good chance of catching up. Spider-Man was behind by 8 votes at once point, and pulled up to tie. The last day is the most unpredictable as we've seen in the past two weeks!

Truth is, I've never even voted for Kal-El in this poll, but somehow this feels like something we owe him...a sort of thank you for 66 amazing issues.
Here's what I propose: I'll vote for Penguin in the poll after next weeks' one, and do my best to muster up some support for your cause, and was wondering if you'd do the same for Superman next week. Sound good? That way we all win! Do you look at threads before you post in them, or do you live in some kind of blind haze? First you vote for Supergirl claiming Darkseid is getting more votes (clearly wrong), then you make this deal to get Superman voted in when John Delaney already promised us a bonus sketch of Superman along with this week's winner (the man is a prince). Wake up, DisneyBoy! In exchange for this rude awakening, you will spread the word of Darkseid. Darkseid will own this poll.

Yeah, it's true that Darkseid could possibly pull up in the standings, but I don't think it's likely. 9 votes is alot, and the others will likely get more votes as well over that period.
Still, the last day *is* crazy, so we'll see how it goes.... Thanks for the encouragement! :)

To try and make things good for everyone, if Nightwing does win, can you at least not put the mullet, but the comic hair, and everything else, if you want, just like the TNBA design. Or, you could make your own version of the Nightwing in this pic:

I think this has a little bit of both the TNBA design, and the comic design. And with your JL highlights Mr. Delaney, this will be awesome! :D
By the way, have I mentioned this would make a good pic if you drew your own version of this? :p

Man, is you crazy!?!? LOL Darkseid is, is everything. He is the Lord of Darkness, the Great Abyss, the D to Izzo, A to the Izza, slap you on the back of the neck, hit you with the Omega Effect. Ok that was going too far, but Darkeseid is the one of the ultimate villians, ever. One of Jack Kirby's greatest creations. PS, what's up? Big Towson!!!

"Fow. Quack!"
Dude you need to relax! If I come into a thread and there are 4 or 5 pages I don't have time to go back and read them all.
On a side note, at this point there are 99 votes, if the total climbed up to about the number last week, and The Penguin got most of those votes then he would win. ;) It's very likely but it could happen.

I don't think it's too much to ask. I don't want to be a monster about this, I just think it's frustrating and it shows a lack of respect to all the people who made earlier contributions to the thread. Don't you think?
Now let's all come together in harmony and hoist Darkseid above the rest. If ever there was a week in which Darkseid should triumph, it should be the same week that Superman makes an appearance.

It may surprise you to know that I do read all of the posts in the thread before I add my two cents in. I was unaware that Delaney had agreed to draw an extra Superman picture for us, but I don't think that means I show a lack of respect for anyone. Some newcomers come to these boards and ask questions to which B:TAS provides obvious answers, but we don't bite their heads off. I'd appreciate the same courtesy if I happen to miss one development in this thread... :rolleyes:
As for Darkseid, I posted that comment earlier on in the week, when it seemed he and Supergirl could possibly go head-to-head. I never said that he had more votes. If you think that was a silly comment for me to make it was only because you took it out of context. I'd be more than happy to give Darkseid, and you, my vote in an upcoming poll, but your attitude leaves something to be desired! Preach what you practice man!

That's like looking both ways before crossing the street and still getting hit by a car.

When you posted that, Supergirl's votes doubled Darkseid's, so I don't know how it seemed to you like they might go head-to-head. Sorry for the attitude, but I wasn't the only one who thought that was incredibly silly.

Well, I finally voted...and I voted for Cap.
1) It would be cool having both Superman & Cap. The two American Superheros, Side by Side..(well, probably one above the other, but maybe Harley could post them side by side)
2) I've said it before, I'll say it again..if I wanted to see Nightwing, Supergirl or Darkseid in the Animated Style...I could watch the show. I personally want to see chracters I've never seen, or rarely seen. I enjoyed the Batman vs Joker, cause it showed them both bloodied & brused, something you wouldn't see on TV. I enjoyed the two Batgirls, especially #2, cause she hadn't been on the show.
The Question, while I didn't vote for him, was another good choice, as he also didn't apear in the show. You see where I'm going with this? John's already doing a Superman sketch, so he's not going to be putting in the time he did for Batman or the Batgals...so why not choose something new. Vote Smart, Vote S-Mart...er Cap.

Darkseid sits in an easy chair reading War and Peace and smoking a pipe.
Darkseid: "Oh. Hello. I'm Darkseid. In my adventures, I face Superman with all the power of a Godlike interstellar ruler. I have super strength and I can shoot lasers from my eyes. As you can see, I'm not all that dissimilar from the rest of you. But let me tell you about some folks who are different, and maybe even a little dangerous. Nightwing and Supergirl, my opponents in this race to be sketched by John Delaney. Where does the horror begin with these two? So Batman adopts a kid from the circus. You know who else was part of a circus family? Killer Croc (shot of Killer Croc eating a lamppost). Killer Croc has been associated with countless crimes in Gotham City and cannot be trusted around our children (shot of Darkseid and Kalibak wearing baseball caps). And what of Supergirl? Superman finds her floating around in space? Sounds a bit fishy to me. Sure, she dons an shirt with an open midriff bearing the Superman shield and calls herself a crime fighter. But what's next on her itinerary of deviant thrills? Prostitution? Bookmaking? Highway shootings? It's not up to me (shot of a guy on fire getting shot with an arrow). But you can end the reign of terror here. Vote for Darkseid as John Delaney's Sketch of the Week #5. Make this world a little safer. For you, for me, and for our children (shot of Baby Kalibak sitting in a sandbox)."

Since John was kind enough to throw in an extra sketch of Superman you might want to add him to the list too.

Kalibak: "Hi sire."
Darkseid: "Leave from here. I stand broken."
Kalibak: "These members make a sport of wasting their vote."
Darkseid: "I have conquered worlds ..."
Kalibak: "The other candidates whored themselves with muscles and midriffs."
Darkseid: "... shaken galaxies with my touch ..."
Kalibak: "You can enter the poll for next week."
Darkseid: "... broken the wills of supermen ..."
Kalibak: "We could kill the other candidates maybe."
Darkseid: "... I can even shoot lasers from my eyes ..."
Kalibak: "I could work on my slaying."
Darkseid: "... and I can't win a simple sketch vote on a cartoon site?"
Kalibak: "It's a meaningless victory, father. I received no votes, and look at me."
Darkseid: "There are no meaningless victories! You are garbage! Leave."
Kalibak: "There are things of more value. (hugs Darkseid) I love you, father."
Darkseid: "I'd be the happiest interstellar ruler in the universe if that did it for me."
Vote for Darkseid as John Delaney's Sketch of the Week #6. Or Kalibak will die.

That he did, but the Joker wasn't the main part of the picture. He was added in (like Penguin in the Nightwing pic) so it doesn't count. And I can only wonder who'll be left in a year...
