Description This is a little something I did out of boredom whilst I was away from my home. Now I'm back so I've had the chance to scan it. I did a couple other thingies, but this is the most decent amongst them, IMO.

It had been years and years since I made a "serious" Batman drawing... I recall the last time being like elementary or something... I don't really remember.

He is definitely my favorite fictional character of all time. He has been since I was just a little boy. I used to collect everything Batman. Dang, I even had my father read me Batman comics when it was bedtime instead of fairytales.
IMO he deserves something much better. Something I swear I'll do sometime soon(er or later) .

Well... I wanted to do him standing watch over something... but finnally chose to pose him like sitting or crouching. The result is kinda grim, kinda eerie... Also, it was the first time I drew serious bats... I'm totally in love with the outcome, but I can still use lots of improvement on my flapping-flying bats. : P
The idea of the picture is an icon... an icon, a legend of shadow and stone watching over the cityscape. Like the gargoyle beside him. It's a statue. A statue of a hero of old. A knight. It's a sad statue nonethless. A lonesome statue. Standing watch in the cold night. Rain or snow.

A legend.
The Batman of Gotham City.


Batman created by Bob Kane. The character and all related indicia are property of DC Comics. Whatever.

Thanks. : )

I probably don't like the thing that's drawn very much, but I like the way it was done.
