"Can't be too careful with all those weirdos around."

I LOVE Batman the Animated Series (BTAS). It is without a doubt one of my all time favourite cartoons, and I caught a lot of reruns of it on TV while growing up. I was always so amazed with the dark and Gothic mood of the show, the incredible music composed by the late Shirley Walker, but most of all - the incredible Villains.

Batman's Rogues gallery is hands down the best line up of villains in comic books, and BTAS took them to the next level. They are all incredibly complex, and so much more than just Saturday morning cartoon villains. Who could also forget that this show gave us the greatest Joker of all - Mark Hammil.

This was a commissioned piece, and I couldn't have been more excited to take this on! It's certainly a lot more illustrative than what I normally do, but I couldn't turn this away. I've always wanted to take on this show somehow, as it certainly shaped my aesthetic (it's basically the reason I airbrush on black board!)

This composition of characters is heavily inspired by scootah91's piece here:

I swapped out a few characters, and moved a few more around to fit what my client wanted - but when it came to composition, this piece was the perfect reference!

This took me around 6-7 hours from start to finish, and is done on 16"x20" black suede illustration board using Iwata CM-C+, Iwata Revolution, Iwata Eclipse, Iwata Neo, and Paasche VL Airbrushes, with Createx, Wicked, and Golden Airbrush paints, black & white charcoal, and Prismacolour Pencil Crayons.

Please leave me a comment down below and let me know what you think!! Any and all feedback is deeply appreciated!

Thanks for looking!
