The Robin OYL Thread

[sinewave]

You know back to Tim's new costume i like it but it's not a huge change to me just sleeves and some minor tweaks big deal. They keep saying this is gonna be huge and things will never be the same well give me a costume that let's me know that you know. Some guys over in fanart section did a kick ass update for an older robin i'll see if i can find it.

Ok here it is:
This is BizarroMe1001 Robin redesign done by Brad.

inked and colored

To me this would be a departure maybe a little hint of kingdom come but not too much you know i would love this

By the way i didn't read the titans tomorrow story so what happened it was the kids future selves??

that looks like rob liefield's work, what with the stupid leg pouches and armored arm braces and boots. way too overly stylized. keep it simple, this isn't anime.

Here's a link to a interview from the writer. I've only read parts of Willinghams run, but the interview makes me interested in the first arc so I might pick it up.

Man, some of those pages make me really wonder what the hell happens to start with, haha. Good looking art though

 

[GoldenAgeHero]

hmm so thats how they set robin up.

 

[GoldenAgeHero]

Now to address the design above it's not perfect i would change some things. I would get rid of the stupid belt around the leg. And i would change the pouch belt to black or a really dark green. Also the gauntelts i would make like the current costume and the mettle shin guards would be flat black. Finally i would scallop the cape like the current one. But i still think this design is BAD ASS!!!!!!!!!!

hopefully you never become a concept artist.

Tim looks good in the new suit. It looks very much like , The New Batman Adventures suit.

 

[Binker]

Who here is going to get Robin OYL?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I was getting it before and I don't see a reason to stop now. I'm disappointed that Kerschl will only be drawing one issue before handing it over to Freddie Williams III, though. I love Kerschl's art.

 

[Binker]

I never heard of Williams III, could you explain the problem people have have on him?

 

[RAMORE]

The torso's not bad. I can't say I like much of the rest, though. I actually did a similar redesign for the old Refresh thing on the Fan Art forums a couple of years ago.

Do you still have it? I would love to see it corp you can just PM it to me if you don't want put up with the ****e of these buggers. Always did love your stuff

And for the rest of you bagging on the design and art i challenge you to do better especially you golden age hero

yeah, i like it a lot, especially the scallops on the gloves. however, i'd like to see them add a cowl to make it closer to the kindom come red robin suit. i've always loved that look.

I don't have a problem with him, I was just excited that Kerschl was going to be penciling Robin. It kind of sucks to have Kerschl quit after one issue, regardless of who comes on after him. Williams is actually not bad.

Yeah, I have it:

I don't really mind if people criticize it. I'll admit, it's a piece of crap. I drew it like 4 years ago. If I'd colored it, it would've been red except for the belt, which would've stayed gold.

I actually like it. It's pretty similar to a redesign I did a while back, just Robin still had the R and the straps on the chest instead of an actual robin. The divide in the center went all the way down instead of stopping above the knees and the colors were inverted. The center was red while the outside was black so he could blend into the shadows better.

 

[Binker]

Um, can we stop talking about redesigns? There's nothing wrong with the new costume he has now.

Who is getting #148?

Yeah, looking at it now, it probably would've worked a lot better if I'd inverted the colors.

 

[Nightwing 52]

Issue #148 finally comes out today, how many of you are getting it? Unfortunately I can't get my copy until the weekend, so whoever did buy it and wants to talk about it, use the spoiler tags. Hopefully it'll be a good issue, can't wait.

 

[GoldenAgeHero]

im getting robin 148. ai gree with corp, karl shouldve stayed on the book. his art gallery is really impressive.

 

[sinewave]

yeah, karl kerschl is pretty good, but freddie williams III looks pretty decent, too. at least we don't have to suffer through anymore of damion scott's art, yuuucchhh! i wasn't really impressed with mcdaniel's run, either.

 

[Nightwing 52]

Mcdaniel's run was ok at times, I didn't always enjoy it. Kerschl could have done alot of good to the book, wish he would've stayed aboard after #148 and #149. I'll give Williams a chance...

 

[The Ether]

just read the issue

glad that

Spoiler

cassie wasn't the one who died

in the issue. I really enjoyed it. Beechan did what he set out to do and make robin a csi issue with robin being completely analitical in his situation. The whole bat-family minus nightwing made an appearance in it with Batman burning robin with a true quote. I actually liked what DC made Batman into with OYL, it's nice having lighter Batman, due to the fact that I was getting tired of too dark. I'm definitely picking up the next issue.

It's a shame thought that kershcl isn't going to continue, his artwork is incredible. I haven't seen Williams work, can anyone show a sample of his past work? thanks

I think i remember when you made this corp it's a very clean design i like it.

 

[The Spirit]

I'm actually going to pick up the issue later on today, Robin one year later is one of the main stream titles I'm excited for.

 

[Binker]

Ok, the issue has come out, enough of what you guys wanted the costume to be, for those who read the issue how was it and share some scans.
