Batman cover

So I did a redesign of what I thought Batman would look like if Dick took over the reigns for Project Rooftop a while ago and I wanted to make a Batman cover featuring it. Hope you like

Batman 2.0 Winner

Well I didnt win the Batman 2.0 at Project Rooftop. You know I dont think they read at all any of the background people might send with their drawings... which makes sense cause if you dont hit a home run visually it doesnt matter what explanation you try and give your guy having this or that. So Im kinda depressed... make that really depressed about the whole thing, but Chris Arrant gave me a 9 outta 10 so that makes me happy. Anyway this is the design that should have won the whole thing (he got 1st prize but he should have gotten grand prize ya ask me). His name is Daniel Heard, look him up!!! You should see the mock ups for the costume, sensational stuff. Anyway I am going to start drinking now to wallow in my looserness. laters.

Batman 2.0

This is my entry for the Project Rooftop Batman 2.o contest. The idea is to show what Nightwing would look like when he takes the mantle of the bat after the events of the Batman RIP storyline. I really tried to fuse Nightwings current look with Batman's original look when he first appeared in the 30's. Anyway I hope they like it.

More DC revisions

I'm on this DC Comics kick lately... so I decided to try out redesigning a character that just doesn't seem to find his right place in the Batman mythos, Nightwing. The original Robin has had his ups and downs and has sometimes proven that he isn't Batman-lite but more often than not he is written as this brooding character and I just have a problem with that. First and foremost unlike any of the other sidekicks of his generation he was not a miniature version of his mentor (like Kid-Flash or Wonder Girl) he was his own person. Happy and comfortable with who he was and what he was. So when Teen Titans turned him into Nightwing I loved it. But then something happened... HE LOST HIS WAY. He became this guy who didn't do quick jokes and instead tried to be the man, in his youth, he didn't want to be.... Batman! So I think if he was to be the next Batman he would do it with a little more flair like when George Perez first drew him as Nightwing. MIne is a little more streamlined than George's but not so minimalist like his current costume. I also gave him back his wings, he was after all a high flying grayson back in the circus so I wanted him to be able to fly as high as he wanted. The belt and gauntlets have his little gadgets and hold his main weapons the Escrima Sticks. Now it is said he has a stun gun in one of his gauntlets in his current costume but I wanted that to be added to the sticks, so he can take on supers with a little bit of an edge. The goggles are for night-vision and heads up display. Hope you guys like.

Next up is the original Wonder Girl herself Donna Troy. Although I love her George Perez design (until she became Troia) I wanted to try one the said "toga"... more Amazon. I gave her back her ponytail, kinda retro crap that I love. I wanted her bracelets to be more like gauntlets so that they could give her hits a little more power for her hands. And of course her nose and skin were changed a little to more reflect her Greek heritage. I didn't want her to be a slimmer version of Wonder Woman or use that black star outfit they keep putting her in, but I wanted to stay close to her original look and her first look as Wonder Girl during the Perez/Wolfman Teen Titans.

Again thanks again for looking and I hope you enjoyed my drawings and at least tolerated my ramblings. Laters
