Bat-Monday: So it begins...


I've been struggling for monsters to post here on Mondays, so today marks the start of Bat-Mondays.
A character, and family of characters, I never tire of drawing. They certainly have managed to sneak onto just about any scrap piece of paper I put pencil to.

This sketch was drawn from one of my top 3 favorite Batman films. Batman: Dead End was a short, fan-made film done to promote Sandy Collora's directing skills back in 2003.
In these 7 odd minutes you get a look at the most comic accurate interpretations of these characters ever committed to celluloid.

I hope nobody misses Monster Mondays too much, but I promise loads of fun Bat-stuff to take it's place here in the future.
Check back next Monday for a sketch of the Dead End version of the Joker :)

Ha, spooky. When I saw your drawing, it totally called to mind the shot from that film, which I saw a while back on YouTube

Bat-Monday is way more fun-sounding that Monster-Monday to me. Lookin forward

Great stuff, Chris! The ichory fluidity of Batman's cape is brilliant. A fitting homage to an exceptional short film.

Thanks a ton, everybody! Glad you're all cool with the new Monday theme so far. I've got plenty more where this came from.
