Description
Here's a convention sketch I spent a little time on a few shows back. A couple of things bother me about it - for one, the whole thing is a little off-center. Batman's cape is wayyy too short. The gargoyle didn't come out exactly as I had envisioned either. But, all in all, a pretty decent image which I may resurrect and refine into a more finished looking piece. Although, I do like the gritty feel of this.9x12 bristiol - sharpie fine and bold pens. Maybe a touch of white out?

Thank you - it was a pretty quick sketch, done with microns & a touch of whiteout if I remember correctly.

i might be a little bias, but i love it.
part of the off center issue is the scan it is so far over into the binding of the sketchbook that i had to cut out some of that in the scan.
It is very often said that it has to be seen to be better appreciated and it's the case in this, it definitely makes people stop while flipping through that book
so thank you jason

I think it looks good. And who can tell how long a cape is? Don't worry about it.

you mare correct about the cape. Also his mask strikes as a little too wolverin-ish.
Some of the tiny line work ends up looking like clutter rather than shading or drawing the eye around.
Mind you, the piece looks better blown down or stepped back a few feet to view it.
In the end I think you managed to skip the break down process, and dive into the hard details and inks.
This is meant as "Constructive" critisism.

I see what you mean by the cape, but it's hardly noticable! I like the gargoyle as well

Thanks for the inking interest - this is a bit more 'scribbly' and 'etchy' as it was a convention sketch done with markers. I normally ink with crowquill.

Crowquill? I've never used that before
