the em'effin' Batman! - DrawingBoard.org Character Jam

so I was recently reminded by someone posting about it on twitter that drawingboard.org had also been far from my mind in recent history... which is a shame...

I found out about it from Mike Weiringo's (RIP) blog a few years ago - it really has been a pretty cool & supportive art community...
apparently my old account wasn't so accessible anymore, so I made a new one (krikitmedia, of course) - one of my favorite things about the site has been the various "drawing jam" threads - recurring posts with a new theme (character, event, photo-reference, etc.), usually monthly...

thusly, I found the batman jam thread in the superhero forum - leading to this sketch I did this morning over breakfast...

got me & Ari talking about what makes him such an iconic figure, even just visually... yay, drawingboard.org is still cool!

everybody say guy number 2! "guy number 2!"...

here's one of the characters from the pages I'm working on right now... not enough to spoil anything, but hopefully enough to be somewhat interesting :p

crunch-time is now, so things should be getting more interesting in the immediate vicinity of now...

sketch me a sketch...

so here ya go... a quick sketch done the last five minutes of work last Wednesday - with some minor finishing on the way home...

not alot, you say?... fine!



this girlie right here, you will see again...
