    Awesome stuff!
    Love the West Batman. I used to draw him much the same when I was younger. I always loved the TV show look. All I ever had were View Master reels for reference though. Maybe now that I have actual photos, I might try a West Bats again. Hopefully it comes out half as good as yours.
    Thanks for the inspiration.

    MORE!

      Wow, it never ceases to amaze me how many great artists are here. It's all fantastic stuff guys.

      Oddly enough, I don't have most of my Batman stuffed scanned in. This is one I have access to. I did it a few years back:

          Holy smoke, Chris!! That is ONE serious piece of pencil sketech business you've got goin' there!!!

          I love the expert execution of your varying textures: The leathery appliances of The Batman's costume, the grimy brick wall in the background, etc.

          What the heck could possibly be better than the image of The Batman pouncing down upon some unsuspecting evil -doers?

          What you have there is another fine example of a quintessential Batman moment... and beautifully rendered too!!

          I can't tell you how much I love pieces of Batman artwork like THIS ONE that capture a moment in time during an interesting episode. Everything in this moment is unfolding so rapidly that two of the hoods are unaware that The Batman is about to make their night a whole lot more unpleasent. As for the third hood... big, burly tough guy... he (appropriately) looks as though he's about to wet his pants and cry for mamma!

          Kudos! Kudos! And MORE kudos!!



          And...

          (In the finest Bill Dozier narrator voice I can come up with):


          And WHAT'S THIS??!! A beautiful painting of the Terrific Trio... and Catwoman too?? A stunning work rendered in vibrant colors... and admired by none other than ADAM WEST HIMSELF??

          Will the Mego Museum members faint dead away when they see this amazing work of art?? Can the museum's Batman fans take that level of artistic excitement??

          Tune in tomorrow!! Same Bat-Time. Same Bat Channel!!

            Thanks darklord. I thought your piece was great! I really admire the level of detail and the hours you had to put in to all the tonal differences you've got there. Fantastic. And so frickin' huge! It's stunning.

            And Art...man, you really nailed the "KAPOW" of the old TV series there. Awesome!

                      So much great stuff people! MegoMilk, that painting ROCKS!

                      Here's mine such as they are.





                      And the orignal cover. I wanted to add this as some may think I traced the cover. I did not. Jim Aparo did it much better than I ever could.

                                Don't sell yourself short, good buddy! Your pieces, BOTH of them, are fine additions to this thread and they demonstrate some real artistry and skill with a pencil. You should be very proud.
