"Before the dawn" was good. Like... GAH... ALIENS. EXPLOSIONS. TOO MANY CHARACTERS TO COUNT ON FOUR HANDS...

If you have an itunes subscription to the series, it should have downloaded automatically, but I've heard reports about it not showing up if you don't. Meep. If you want some spoilers and screen caps from the latest episode of YJ or GLTAS, you should probably check out the "young justice" and "gltas" tag on tumblr.

Anyways, about the pic.

I hadn't done character design in a while, so this was pretty fun. It's actually an older piece, like a month or two old, just posting it now. XD

And of course, being on a blue beetle kick, how could I not try my hand on everybody\'s homicidal scarab, Khaji Da? Now, if you watched "before the dawn," this wouldn't make sense for that universe, but how cool would it be if Khaji Da was originally a Reach Warrior that got stranded on Earth 5000 BC, and was the ultimate influence of the Egyptian aesthetic?

SUPER COOL.

I love Khaji Da in beetle form, but I always thought it would be so neat if he actually had a warrior form that he was prior to just being the scarab. I mean, maybe the alien that he took over died from old age and that’s how he’s stuck as a scarab, or maybe that’s his true form. Actually, another thing I was thinking, was that maybe Jaime actually has "stages" of transformation, so this would be like his Stage two, sorta like how Iron Man has his Mark II, III, IV and so forth...

I obviously based his look on the egyptian pharaohs (or did they base their looks on him? *wink*). This was really fun to do.

Now, off to watch YJ again! I have another Saint Walker piece that I'm going to upload soon. ^^ hopefully you fans out there can buy the latest episodes or find them online!
