I am currently taking art requests! Feel free to send an ask with a request and I will maybe possibly potentially in theory perhaps draw it!

#I don't know how I should even tag this

Sorry for some of the recent DC animated movie/show news, by the way. I wished for that Knightfall trailer to be somewhat interesting and fun, and every finger on my monkey's paw curled at once into a clenched fist.

#How is it that The Joker and KRYPTO get their own dedicated animated shows before Wonder Woman?#EVEN KITE-MAN GOT AN ANIMATED SHOW BEFORE WONDER WOMAN #And I know Absolute Batman is cool and all but really? Already?#It's not even done yet #It's still in the oven #I also know some of you people like Caped Crusader and I am glad you do!#I just had A LOT of my own problems with that first season and the next one looks like more of the same #But hey! Knightfall movie!#dc #batman #Sorry to every non-Batman DC fan

"Green goes with anything if they ask, see?" Recently went back and re-read the old pre-movie Mask comics from Dark Horse, and I'd truly forgotten how much I enjoyed them!

I drew @misterdataexpunged 's Two-Face! This was very fun to do and the pose was inspired by Arkham City promotional material.

My good friend @phoenixdoescomics very kindly drew this piece for me! Be sure to check out her blog!

Sketchdump!

Riddler in an actual suit this time! Second pic referencing a screenshot of Frank Gorshin from the '66 show, which I think is still the best look the character has ever had.

A couple portraits of some slightly less high-profile rogues, Maxie Zeus and Victor Zsasz! Maxie's design takes heavy inspiration from his appearance in Serious House, whereas I wanted to go in an entirely new direction with Zsasz! With the lore I've written, I'm leaning more towards him being a Ted Bundy-esque figure rather than a raving slasher.

Normally, this Joker piece would be its own post, but as I'm likely going to go back and entirely re-do all of the colours, I'm putting it in this post as a "W.I.P" even though I could technically call it complete. The version with redone colours may be my next post, but no guarantees.

Finally got my digital art tablet up and running again, and drew this damned clown again to re-familiarise myself with the medium.

I Believe In Harvey Dent.

Hello! It seems like every one of my posts these days is me apologising for a break in my activity. I have been working on a lot of art (that I'm not proud of enough to put here) and writing (that I'm not brave enough to put here), but hopefully there'll be a bit more activity around here soon! For now, take these concept sketches for Arnold Wesker and Scarface.

(I don't like the trousers I drew Arnold with. Next time, they'll be a plain brown or something.)

And a exploratory portrait of Arnold!

Killer Moth!

So sorry for the long wait for this, life gets in the way sometimes. Ten-Eyed Man will be coming soon!

Keep reading for a brief character bio I wrote to hopefully help explain some of the design choices I made!

waiter, waiter!! more Scarface PLEASE!!!!

It helps to imagine him with a voice like Gilbert Gottfried.

I am making progress on my next art post, I promise! However, while that churns away in the background, feel free to send me asks about my art, the AU/lore/project doohickey all my Batman character designs are set in, or just general Batman-adjacent opinions!

I mean, you can also ask about other things, too. I'm a Tumblr post, I have zero authority.

I gave you guys one job.

I guess next up is Killer Moth AND Ten-Eyed Man! I'll even throw in some lore/AU stuff accompanying the art, since one of them requires a bit of context.
