Batman Revisited

After doing Batman & Robin, Two-Face, Joker and Catwoman. I just had to go back for a remake of Batman. After the first image the style altered a bit and I felt the need to incorporate Batman in that style as well.

Catwoman

After Batman & Robin, Two-Face and Joker, the turn has come to Catwoman. This is, as far as I can remember, the first time I tried to seriously draw a woman hero/villain. A tough task in retrospect. First, I've done male characters from the Batman universe and I wanted this to have the same feel and style. How can you do that and still make this character feminine? I also really, really. didn't want to fall in the comic-book/video-game cliché trap of making all female characters into a juvenile sex fantasy. I want to be able to show my drawings to my kids. BUT, Catwoman IS originally a very sexual and sexy character, how can I do MY Catwoman without loosing the original one? I think I managed pretty well finally.

Do you like it?

The Joker

Had to continue my Batman fan-art theme. After doing Batman & Robin and Two-Face, it's now time for the Joker to be in the spotlight.

You like it? Well, I do.

Two-Face

Okay, I felt I needed to keep working on the theme from last post. (Batman and Robin) Felt an urge to add a villain to the collection. So, I give you Harvey Dent AKA Two-Face.

Batman & Robin

Tonight I spent three hours creating my first fan-art. The good old Batman & Robin. The dynamic duo. Holy cell-shading, Batman!

Pirates

I painted a corny pirate drawing this week and recorded the process using the excellent (and free) "Open Broadcaster Software". Sped the thing up 64 times and added some music using the not-so-excellent (but free) Windows Movie Maker.

The image was drawn on my Wacom Cintiq Companion 2, using the Krita software (most excellent, dude). I started by doing a quick sketch then on to flat colors and shadows and some outlines. All on the same layer. I did it this way to practice freehand painting. It was tough and rendered me a lot of trial and error, do-and-redo, etc. Part of the outcome was pretty good and some were more like... meh...

Pirates. Resulting image.

Now, for a while I will try to keep to the Lines-Shading-Color-process for practice.
