I've always loved comic book heros (or villians) with dual identities. They hide who they are behind a mask or a costume because they're ashamed, or because they're protecting the ones they love, or just because they can. But often times the man (or woman) behind the mask is far more interesting. Therefore, I drew the villian everyone loves Dr. Horrible and his hapless alter ego Billy - complete with laundry to further stalk the love of his life (who doesn't know he exists) Penny.
Billy (aka Dr. Horrible) is a classic example of why I love the recent rise of the geek-hero. Poor Billy is a hopeless romantic and I'll be damned if he doesn't remind me of Charlie Brown and his unrequited love for the little red-headed girl. But as Billy he goes "unnoticed" and this makes you wonder how many people you've passed at the laundromat that are actually evil geniuses.
And NPH does a fantastic job with every little bit he adds to the character - I swear, the man deserves some sort of award for his job as the infamous Dr. Horrible. Seriously, watch the musical again and focus soley on Neil... it's incredible.
My favorite song is from the beginning of Act 2 between Penny and Billy.
And yes... it is a death ray. Not a ice ray... that's all Johnny Snow... freakin' hack.
I love that line... although my favorite has to be a tie between
"Wow! What a crazy random happenstance!" or "Look at my wrist! I have to go..."
I can't wait to see your fanart!

This is the best kind of person to talk to: someone who is willing to take an honest look at the evidence. Being willing is essential. Evidence cannot convince the unwilling.
You have not seen the wonderful brainchild of Joss Whedon (and family) starring Neil Patrick Harris, Nathan Fillion, and Felicia Day? It's brilliant! It's a romantic comedy (of sorts) all the elements of a greek tragedy and spot on humor with musical numbers!
I command you now to go spend $4 on iTunes and buy a season pass for Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along-Blog. It's worth every penny

Wow thank you very much! I'm looking forward to the soundtrack/dvd too! I hope that NPH makes a refrence to Dr. Horrible in the coming season of "How I Met Your Mother" he tends to do that, it'd be brilliant.

I'd make fan art too, but, i'd mess up the entire concept. :<
I think it would have been better if Dark Horse was black.
