Young Justice was such a wild show. Like. It's based off a 90's comic by the same name. It contains exactly 1 (one) character from the source media, who they immediately change beyond recognition. It used Dick Grayson's Robin and Wally West's Kid Flash, but made Roy Harper the old jaded one. Instead of Wondergirl, they gave Martian Manhunter a niece. They invented a brand new Aqualad. A random 90's villain gets shunted into Arrowette's role, arguably gets the most compelling emotional story of the entire show, and turns out to be related to half the villains they ever meet.
They're a secret black ops team made entirely of teenagers. At one point several of them die onscreen. The martian almost murders several people. There's kind of a pseudo incest plot. There is an episode that takes place almost entirely through mandated therapy sessions.
The show does actually bring in a second character from the original Young Justice, in an episode where Artemis almost dies only to be saved by Secret, the ghost of the villain's sister (who was a member of the original comics team). In the same episode, Superboy and Miss Martian trick a classmate into thinking there's an alien invasion using a Loony Tunes character. Neither of these events are ever mentioned again.
The timeline of the show means that Dick Grayson became Nightwing at 15. They accidentally create Beast Boy because Miss Martian has been impersonating his mom. Aqualad ends up as the leader of the Justice League.
Five years go by between seasons, resulting in a completely different show. I could make the argument that Young Justice was Weisman's OC fanfiction of the comic series. Everything after season 2 is unwatchable. This is the show that got me into fandom. I adore it.

I love love LOVE your color work!
I must ask- what's your favorite color palette or one that really resonates w/ you?
I'm a basic bitch who's really inspired by pre-digital comic coloring, so I love CMYK and primary color palettes. (Fun fact, all the GG20s comics so far are in one or the other of these palettes).
Besides that, I really really like using a splash of blue or green as a strong accent color in my works. I dunno why, but I use it a lot when coloring shadows or hair. My favorite color used to be firetruck red, but now it's a deep electric blue. Love putting those two colors together though, like in the Rarity Lunar New Year art.
I can get extremely obsessive about color palettes too. I think one big reason why I stopped drawing Agent 24 is because I just hated their color palettes when they were put together. Something about the flatness of 8's pink and reddish brown and green clashed with Captain 3's deep blues and oranges and teals and yellows and pinks.
