New Batman "Rooftop Scene" Color Artwork! Step-by-Step!

Yet another fun fan commission, this one a variation of the old "Batman on a rooftop with gargoyle" scene! Click below to enlarge each of my step-by-step proceedings in creating this fun finished piece!

Below two images: After receiving the assignment, if was time to rough out a sketch. I wanted drama and movement!

Below three images: Once I settled on a rough sketch, it was time to firm up the elements for the final artwork!

Below two images: After transferring the finalized pencil art to colored paper, I put down the stark black areas, then full white areas, to give myself a full value range to work within...

Below: The final color artwork! I also used colored pencils, acrylic, and watercolor, in addition to ink.

New Batman Color Art! Step-By-Step!

I had a ton of fun creating this color piece of Batman! Click images below to enlarge the step-by-step processes!

Below two images: Starting with rough pencil sketches!

Below two images: Once the finished pencils were transferred to colored paper, the coloring process begins! I try to first apply full whites and blacks, in order to achieve full value contrast in between!

Below: The finished art! Colored pencils, ink, marker, and 
acrylic touches brought this to dramatic life!

BATMAN-THE ANIMATED SERIES! More Rare Artwork and Designs!

Here, direct from my voluminous vaults, are more rare images from my work with the 90s BATMAN-THE ANIMATED SERIES properties! Click each to enlarge!

Below: The original cover art for a BATMAN "Mark and See" coloring book!

Notice how the publishing firm reversed the image, and substituted the loom-
ing visage of Killer Croc with an insidious image of the Joker? I wonder where 
they cribbed that Joker image…

Below: That's where that Joker artwork came from! Here 

is a style guide piece that spotlights the daring Dynamic Duo, 

doing their best to thwart an oversized death trap!

Below: Batman makes a leap from his own speeding 

Batmobile, to get the goods on some escaping thugs! I 

love the sense of motion and skewed perspective I was

able to achieve with this one!  A portion of the art was 

even used for the cover of the premiere BATMAN-THE 

ANIMATED SERIES DVD set, as well as a toy racing set!

Below: DC comics was being told that manufacturers wanted more

images of Batman and Robin together, and this was part of answering

that call! Again, lowering the viewer's perspective made for

an exciting layout, one that gets to include the Batmobile, too! 

This design was used for trading cards, package art, even

t-shirts!

Below: The original art for a dramatic scene of Robin and 

Batman, just as they complete the capture of their two greatest 

foes! Not sure where this art was re-purposed…T-shirts? 

Posters? Puzzles?

Below: Speaking of puzzles, here are my pencil roughs for a 

series of kid's puzzles that were tied into the 1997 BATMAN & ROBIN 

live-action film! It was interesting trying to depict the movie's 

stars in the "animated style!"

Below: A piece I both pencilled and inked, for one of the original BTAS style guides from DC!

Below: Here are some images used on the Kenner NEW BATMAN ADVENTURES action figures packaging!

BATMAN-MASK OF THE PHANTASM Style Guide Art!

Here are a few of my pieces created for the BATMAN-THE MASK OF THE PHANTASM animated movie style guide! A style guide is a big book of approved images that companies and interested manufacturers can use on merchandise, and many of my drawings ended up on posters (see below), magazine covers, towels, toys…..Click images below to enlarge!

Images below: It's me, posing with a few posters and magazines that made use of my designs!

Below: My art used on buttons, and even curtains!
