It's fancy week over at The Line It Is Drawn as we mash-up comic book characters and literary classics!

Did this a while ago, but I really like and received decent feedback on it. My vision of the Teen Titans in the future... starring Sin, Jai & Irey West, Damian Wayne, Lian Harper, & Chris Kent. Enjoy! Peace.
