Really great work Rob! The Batman pic really has the Tim Sale vibe, but you tweaked the pose enough to make it unique.

It’s great this challenge has you so fired up!

Thanks! I am not sure of Tim Sale’s process, but mine is to do a gesture drawing with minor details here and there. Then I just fill in the blacks like I am doing a negative space drawing using his original as a guide.

Thought I would color these up and re-post them.

@RobArt471
These are very awesome™. Both color abs and uncolored. Really cool.

@ImpulseMaxMercury
Cool doing the style with Jim’s Riddler. Looks awesome™

Had fun with this and decided to do one with a rouge who wasn’t in it. Made a Dark Victory cover with Bane. Like the results.

RobArt471 · October 20, 2021, 4:05pm

Thanks!

RobArt471 · October 20, 2021, 4:06pm

Very cool! You got the Tim Sale vibe perfect!

NYJt3 · October 20, 2021, 7:42pm

Thanks

To follow in my Riddler mood, and as I promised, here is the Frank Gorshin Riddler.

Here is the reference I had used.

@NYJt3 - really nice way to expand upon the topic and create something new that fits the theme. The color choice really works for Bane!

@ImpulseMaxMercury - That’s a very creepy Riddler. Those teeth! Nice use of light and shadow!

Since I’ve been on a cat theme with Pantha and Wildcat I went with Catwoman.

I really have a greater appreciation of Tim Sale’s work now. He really pulled off form, three dimensional shape and emotion with his use of darkness and shadows.

Here’s my attempt.

Creepy as all get up, well done dude!!

RobArt471 · October 21, 2021, 2:38am

Purrrrfect execution! You did a superb job capturing the shadow effects Tim Sale uses.

RobArt471 · October 21, 2021, 2:40am

I think this is totally in your wheel house. You have a great eye for shading and placement. This is great!!

RobArt471 · October 21, 2021, 2:41am

Thank you!!

stefanie.m · October 21, 2021, 2:42am

Great work and it captures both the art and the actor very well. I like you kept his shoulders out of the drawing and just showed the ? Marks just like the above with only his tie showing.

stefanie.m · October 21, 2021, 2:44am

Ooooo shoulda scolled down further lol, beautiful batman, I am loving the extra long bat ears.

Plus the color you used for em looks stunning and the purple somehow makes Mr J look 10x more creepier.

stefanie.m · October 21, 2021, 2:48am

Splosions! I love this, I like the side view and using the venom color for the whole piece.

JKoco17 · October 21, 2021, 2:49am

Thanks Rob!

stefanie.m · October 21, 2021, 2:50am

Oooo nice, great work with the shading especially that pointing hand!
