A while ago the wife of one of my animation school buddies contacted a bunch of his artist friends asking them to do an art of his favorite comic book superhero in their own style to be compiled into a book as a birthday present. I thought it was such a great and unique gift idea, and I was very glad to participate! Although Batman isn't historically my favorite superhero, I
was a HUGE fan of the animated series in my tween years, so I channeled that for this project.
I tried a few poses and ideas, but then settled at last on my original
idea, which turned out I think just how I wanted it to! I always loved
when he glided into some location all cloaked in his cape.
And now, I turn the reins over to J:
A few weeks ago I finished the same 30 Day Challenge as the Mister. One of the prompts was “A Super Hero” and it
was the perfect opportunity to bring back an old, unused idea I had
while in college—Batman making a grilled cheese!
I
don’t know why, but this idea makes me giggle to no end. It’s Batman!
Making grilled cheese! I picture him coming home after a long night of
detective-ing and wanting a toasty sandwich. It’s probably for the
best that I wound up switching majors and leaving the art program—all
the ideas I ever had during that year were in a similar, kind of
ridiculous vein. And, of course, there’s no place for humor in ART.
This
was kind of hastily done, but overall it turned out just how I always
pictured it. And I’m happy to say it’s an improvement on my original
sketch from *cough cough* years ago. Consider this a teaser for the rest of my 30 Days, which will be forthcoming!
