Gotham's Dark Knight Redesign 2by *Harseik

Fan Art / Cartoons & Comics / Digital / Other

My long overdo Batman redesign. Oh mai! I've been working on college projects all week. Here's what I squeezed out within it all. <3

I borrowed several elements from my ooooollllld design ([link]), but all in all I think it's a good improvement because... no more tissue box shoes! I traded them out for tabi shoes. Bruce will always be a parkour ninja in my head. Don't know what's up with me and giving Batman layered Kevlar stuff. I think my next design will attempt to cut down on the padding, but I'll see.

I'm always raving about making a JLA comic someday, then I go and design things that are too complicated for repetitive drawing. xD BUT IF I WAS A GOOD ARTIST IT WOULDN'T STOP ME. But it does. Hnnnnnnng.

What do you guys think?

Yay? Nay? Anything you like or don't like? Yes, I'm up for full-blown criticism, even on anatomy en such.

EDIT: NOOOOOO Y U CUT OFF, SHADOW?

The grey strip on his fore-head brings unnecessary attention to his face, which completely contradicts the point of an brighter bat-symbol,
which I'm assuming was a throw-back to the old bat-symbol theory of bringing gunmen's attention away from his open face and towards his chest, which was protected by several layers of bullet-proof/fire-proof material, a mixture of Kevlar and Nomex if I remember correctly.
The belt has a nice uniform look, and the sharper looking armor segments in the cowl provide a nice fang theme, and menacing to boot.
I rather enjoy the lighter color on the arm blades, which actually make them seem like bone, providing even more of a reason for criminals to think he is some kind of monster.

Yeah, I've been getting criticism regarding the gray spot on his face, so I'll definitely do away with it. I think I put that on him during color experimentation by following the grooves on his cowl and just left it there. Haha. You brought up a lot of interesting points. Extremely useful coming from an excellent artist such as yourself. Thank you very much for stopping by and bringing those points of focus up with me. It really helps. <3

my Tumblr is a much better representation of my current skill level.
Here's the link if you ever have nothing to do on a rainy day. I just started it, so pretty minimal in size.

I took a look on a rainy day and your penciling is marvelous! It's full of energy, presence, and delicious detail. Good work on all of the action poses. Those are hard to pull off.

your tellin' me! Thanks for checkin em' out, I appreciate the feed-back.
I recently posted my own design for Batman. I'm taking the techno-fear route!

~felixneko7 Aug 9, 2012

no prob, its fun to see different takes on my fav superheroes.
Though I think excellent may be a bit of an exaggeration of my current gallery

I reeeally like it, but his ears seem a little bit like cat ears to me.

~felixneko7 Aug 8, 2012

I think that's due to the forward facing nature of them and their skinniness at the top. While the sterotypical bat does have forward facing ears, their entire ear shape is a very wide diamond.
