YOUNG JUSTICE: INVASION: BLUE BEETLE MEMORIAL HOLO

WB Animation Character Design, YOUNG JUSTICE: INVASION, Blue Beetle Memorial Hologram. Pencil, Digital color.

In the Second Season episode, "Satisfaction," a few new members of The Team visit a solemn grotto deep within the Mount Justice headquarters where they find a holographic shrine dedicated to fallen heroes. Among these holograms are images of the slain Artemis, Tula, Jason Todd/Robin, and the original DCU Blue Beetle, Ted Kord.

The Ted Kord Blue Beetle is my favorite version of the character, and I used the designs by my friend Steve Rude as a main source of inspiration (as well as those by Paris Cullins).
