The Dark Knight Batman Begins Sequel Art

[Amazing Afroman]

(FYI: Not really intended to look exactly like Ledger.)

[theDarkerKnight]

Eventually yeah. Progress has been going really slow because this model has so many polygons that its grinding my system to a halt. I hopefully have figured out how to manage the resources better tho so I should be able to make a ton more progress more quickly. I'll post it again when its finished

 

[Comic_maniac]

thats really good. cant wait to see the finished version

 

[Juanigi]

There's no movie there, mate. Do you have the link?

The more I watch that the more I like it.

At first I was like wtf? The Joker looks like a puppet. Now I think it's great.

 

[Untilteld]

I'm glad I showed everyone that fan film.

 

[regwec]

let's just say it's not really supposed to be realistic...
hahahahaaa

Well, send him my salutations. He shows great promise and I'd love to see more of hist stuff. Has he drawn Arkham Asylum to an equivalent standard?

I'm blown away by the level of talent on this forum.

That said I made my own little contribution before and I have another one now.

NOTE* it's bloody hard to draw with a mouse.

Good luck getting that here man. I could tell you some stories.

 

[Rynan]

Calm. Just remember, the arts do not call everyone, a lesson some people have to learn for themselves.

That Two-face sucks by the way.

drew it 1 year ago... found in my old note-book

This is cool. It's like a crazier version of the B:TAS Joker.

Although, you should avoid drawing every tooth individually. The eye usually sees them in groups; like a white silhouette, if you will. Of course, being that this is a year old, you may know that already...

Yeah tell me about it, that's what I do. But tools don't make the artwork they just help in the process.

In all sincerity, the reason this fails is because it looks as if it was pasted together. Your overall key to creating believeable, in this case manips, is to have everything blend together and appear as if it's all part of the original image. Shadows are not solid lines, they're gradual. And for the most part, they won't be completely black. You also need to work on composition.

But I think it's not the skill that you lack so much as it may be the fundamentals of design. You're only as good as the effort you're willing to put forth. So try and learn the basics, and all that jazz, and keep at it. You're bound to make something eye popping, in the good kind of way that is.

And to end on a good note, I like the idea of the letter O being a coin.

Here's another DVD cover I made; a variation of my previous one (which I think is actually better):

The lens flare seems totally out of place. Given that the sky is overcast and the overall image appears rather dreary, putting a lens flare in it causes the effect to be rather forced in my opinion; or at least it's too big. On the other hand, if you were to add some rays of light, or some such, seeping through the clouds, I think it'd be much more effective.

I think the back is just fine the way it is.

Ummm... hurry up. I can only imagine how slow your computer runs when this things loaded...hehe.

The arts don't call everyone? The ***** certainly leave their doors wide open though huh ********* and you just walked right on in?

At least I'm willing to contribute something other than boring weightless criticism.

That's what I was looking for.

I'll make some changes when I have some time based on the notes given. FYI the shading aside from the hair is the same as the original pic. I just changed the colour balance. This was just a first run at that. I was hoping someone would suggest another colour scheme or perhaps an approach on the hair issue. I never took design in school (hence the job and little free time to play on here) so I'm not sure how Photoshop can do hair or how well?

Suggestions are VERY much appreciated.

Saying 'you suck' just makes me want to take this board out of my bookmarks. Not because it hits a nerve so much as it makes me think I might be too good to be here.

Whatever respect or sympathy I had for you just went out the window.
