Batman & Robin #18 – pencils & color

Last year I was called on to draw six pages from Batman & Robin #18, written by Paul Cornell. The story featured Dick Grayson as Batman and Damian Wayne as Robin encountering a villain named The Absence, a woman who discovered she had a brain deformity called Dandy Walker Syndrome only after surviving a gunshot wound to the head. Weird character. But hey, it’s a Batman villain!

I’ve posted the 6 pages I drew from the story in my gallery, with the pencil art I drew side-by-side with the inked and colored pages for comparison.

I feel like a real blogger now.

Sniff, sniff.

I’d like to thank the academy…

Batman Raspberry

OK, I realize 500 is nothing, but hey, this blogging thing doesn’t come naturally to me. Sure, I can TALK your ear off, but I’m not usually as chatty with my typing.  All right, I promise to chill out until I hit 5,000.

Batman meets… Cal Ripken?

Remember that time that the Penguin kidnapped Cal Ripken Jr? And he had to escape from a giant bird cage using a huge wad of Big League Chew? No? Well you MISSED OUT! But you can still see the art – including a step-by-step breakdown of pencil art, inks and colors!
