Gotham Gears: Batman

Seeing as he's the big guy- I thought I would release him solo (Joker will be released solo as well) I figured this would be a good time to reveal the logo as well, hope ya like.

Batman
Strengths:
♦ Prototype construct of unknown origin.
♦ Genius-level intellect, appears highly skilled in Combat/stealth/hacking (full capabilities unknown)
♦Armed with a seemingly endless supply of unknown&advanced weaonry/gadgets

Weakness:
♦ Unknown.


and of course, check out the rest of the Gotham Gears lineup

Gotham Gears.

Gotham Gears: Catwoman & Bane

see larger version here

The why: I was inspired by this

and I thought it would look cool

Bane:
Strengths:
♦Unparalleled strength
♦Near invunrability to concussion attacks (susceptible to piercing attacks)
♦Very intelligent tactician/strategist 

Weakness:
♦ function relies on rare hydraulic V.E.N.-Fluid. It constantly needs to replenished



Catwoman.
Strengths:
♦Stealth (brief invisibility, but only when stationary, illusion collapses upon movement)
♦Second set of smaller hands capable of extrodinarily quick+percise actions (disarming alarms, opening safes etc)
♦Set of retractable whip/tentacle tails for quick moment/attack/long distance interaction (when the whips retract, they recoil as her tail)

Weakness: 
♦delicate build- she can't take much of a hit ( but is quick enough that she rarely has to)

Next set= Freeze & Penguin

Batman: One Last Kiss

Poison Ivy giving Batman a last smooch before dinnertime.

Ivy was one of my very first boyhood crushes that batman cartoon was the best... I need to re-watch that series

and don't sweat it- im sure ol bats has a battarang ready to whip out for exactly this situation.

Odds&Ends&starts.

Life has been busy these days, allow me to tell you about it:

Finally got around to shattering Batman. My life used to revolve around this legend, so I've put off painting anything until I have a solid idea that will hopefully do bats justice. I went for a more iconic/logo-esq solution here, but plan 0n doing something more detailed and less abstract down the line.

Quakers the duck (childrens book I've been chipping away at) is almost ready to hit the printers- couple of weeks left, and I'll have published 2 books in less than a year :)

Did an interview with a local Author last night (just for good practice for the both of us, and to cross promote our work etc) I recommend following his tumblr account, if nothing else for the copious amount of nerdily amazing tees he's been collecting. Once he's got the full article posted I'll do a more detailed post as well.

tried my damndest to get an Artist Alley table at AnimeNorth in Toronto- but tables sold out in minutes (seconds even), and I haven't found anyone willing to share, so that's a no -go for this year. It boggles my mind that I can get tables at San Diago, New York and the Fan Expo etc, (the biggest Cons in North America) without a hint of a problem... but tables at almost any Anime con I've looked into are next to impossible to procure. somethings amiss with that. explain.

Myself and MY NEW BANNERSTAND are off to Vancouver Comic Expo, and Calgary Expo soon... less than a month away. holy crap, just typing that out just made me more frantic and stressed about everything that needs to be done in the next couple weeks.

New pieces I plan to have done for those shows include:

Optimus Prime vs Megatron (70% done)
not showing you everything yet...

Shadow of the Colossus piece (15% done)

Carnage piece (2.9% done)

i've researched stuff... nothing to show yet

Batman! ...in winnipeg??

The original Bats himself, Mr. Adam West, is on his way to one great city this October

thats right, Winnipeg's comic con features Mayor West as a guest.

I'm stoked to meet the man.

(quick/dirty vector, i should really fine tune...)

Freeze

jus having some fun with a freeze concept
