I wanted to challenge myself so I took on the Riddler. But not just any Riddler, but Jim Carrey’s Riddler from Batman Forever so I could try to work in my realistic style. I included my reference but really tried to evoke the shadows from Tim Sale’s covers. By the way, it was so cool actually meeting Mr Sale at a convention and being able to share my drawing homage to his Long Halloween pumpkin drawn using tiny pumpkins.
Wow Rob, that is an awesome recreation! I’d say you’ve given it a bit more realistic form and structure, but it really still carries that Tim Sale creepy vibe. Well done!
Thanks, I have been in an inking grove here lately and this fed right into it. Not to mention I just watched The Long Halloween on HBOMax and was really in the mood for some drawing when I saw this challenge. I am out of town right now, but I might try another once I get back home tomorrow.
Got back into town today and had some downtime after unpacking. My favorite relaxation activity is exactly what you think it would be…drawing. Decided to try the Batman cover by Tim Sale this time around. Hope you enjoy it.
I had some horrible glare from the lights, so I did a little contrast editing to help the blacks stay black. I liked the effect so much I applied it to the Joker cover I did, too.
Thanks! These were so much fun! I wish I could carve pumpkins, cause I would totally try it out!! Sadly, my avatar on here this month, is the best I have ever done.
Yes! Stunning shape work. Even though I don’t much like the character, the calendar man art shown above is the greatest imo. Also that ivy piece is just
I thought of trying the Ivy or Riddler one next, if I can find the time. Since I took a long weekend from work, I will probably be too busy to do it though.
Yeah, I feel that. Work has gotten so busy for me i just can’t wait till our busy season is over so I can have time to enjoy art again and maybe do some more challenges here again!
And also the ivy one has so much texture it could be a really neat exercise to trying that one
He is the niiiight! Amazing work yet again
