Hey, where did the genome story come from? Is that original DC universe stuff, or did they just make up these creatures on the fly, just for the new series?

I've noticed that on many of your images, it's either cutting room floor or the colors are changed by the lead character designer. Is this common in your line of work? i.e. Do most artists who "do your type of job, regardless of which company" find that their designs make it to the screen with only the colors being changed by the powers that be? (or is this something that Phil Bourassa is is known for in his managerial style?)
In this situation, my responsibilities as Character Designer ends at the line art stage of creating each character, and I must move on to the next assignment. Occasionally, there is opportunity for overlap, and my suggestions for color treatment are graciously accepted. Certainly, if the contribution is sound, it makes everyone else's job that much easier. However, in an "assembly line" structure, the "machine" runs more smoothly with each department focusing on their individual assignments, and expertise.
But with many of the designs I create, I have specific color schemes in mind. It is only in my spare time that I can put in the effort to apply these as I learn and practice Photoshop. It's just for fun. So, if anyone is doing any changing, it would be me, not my employers. Actually, I've gotten lots of compliments and encouragement from my co-workers at the WB offices. They are my teachers after all.
