Description This was alot of fun. I found a great tut on doing halftones by which you can find here-->[link]

So what would Heavy do if he'd crossed paths with the caped crusader? I mean, Heavy's busy enough cracking heads as well as cases, would he bother with a guy with a fetish for leathery capes? Probably not.

And good 'ol Heavy would fight dirty. He's throw Bats off guard by putting his cigarette out in his eye. They're not just good for lung cancer!!

Then an old one/two, roundhouse, and Bats is kissing pavement.

Well, a guy can dare to dream.

i forgot to comment on this, and i love it. probably my favorite of the things you have done. like everyone said tones are great, great positioning! I like the hunching of batman, done very well. It is truely impressive when you have such clear control of body language. that said, he just broke all the rules of the universe saying that to batman >:[]. To be honest, i had no interest in this heavy character before, but you really show his personality here and I want to see more.

WOW! That's probably the best comment I've gotten in a long time. I'm so glad that I could turn you on to Heavy. He is really a fantastic character. I'll do my best to get him to swoon you. lol.

Heavy is definitely coming in a big way. Just watch.

Thanks. Heavy's probably thinking Bats is some sort of tranvestite with a leather fetish!lol.

I dig it, I really do. But I'm sure you would love to hear any sort of critique as well. My only nit-pick would be that Bat's position is a little...scrunched (is that a word?). He just looks like he is hunching his head into his shoulders. Anyway, that's my two cents. Keep up the stellar half tone work.

BrattyBen In reply to Torey-Nelson [2008-03-01 08:41:09 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I was actually going for the hunched thing. It may look a little squished. Just got to do better next time

Had a comic book discussion earlier... "which hero was the most 'badass'." Long story short, a friend of mine answers every question with "Batman."

Now, I have a much, much better answer than him.

Toning is so underappreciated in western comics these days, and it's a shame cuz I think this piece looks excellent.

BrattyBen In reply to NuclearConvoy [2008-02-29 23:56:41 +0000 UTC]

Then it will be my quest to bring it back.

I've always been a fan of Zip-a-Tones, and Benday. The original Turtles comics were full of that stuff. I just thought it added a depth to it that ya can't achieve with just line.

I'm toying with maybe doing Heavy with this kind of technique. I think it fits him.

The trick will be in knowing when NOT to use it.
Thanks for the compliment. Means alot!

Nice. Cool job on the halftones. Thanks for the link to that tutorial too, I've been wondering how to do that for a while.

I like the perspective on this too. Makes Batman look even smaller.

BrattyBen In reply to WonderDookie [2008-02-29 23:49:36 +0000 UTC]

Thanks, man. Yeah, I really wanted to show that Heavy is taller than Bats, but thought that a straight on shot would be boring. So, even though it's a bit distorted, it works pretty well from a storytelling standpoint.

I love the halftones, although, I still need some practice. That guys gallery friggin rocks with that stuff. Very cool.

WonderDookie In reply to BrattyBen [2008-03-01 00:48:43 +0000 UTC]

haha. I still think it is wishful thinking though. As bad-A as Heavy may be, nobody beats The Bats.

Yeah. I was experimenting with it a bit myself after checking out the guy's stuff. Just did a quicky sketch for my "webcam" on here.
