Pretty well done. His muscles are maybe a bit too big (the arm) and his ear too long but it is batman after all

Nice! Good lighting! Oddly enough...the pose reminds me a bit of a superman pic I started this morning Weird!
I do think his arm is a bit long, but I like his ears long. Good job on the hand and face especially!

Very, very nice - - - wonderful shading amd work with the shadows! [+8]

Dude, you know my weakness... words can't express.... *sniff* I actually really love the slight physical distortions. Cheers to the Kelly Jones like ears and glove flares. God I am such a fanboy it is sickening.

*gives highest amount of points
*adds to favorites

PS: make "bat man" one word.

+ 9

checked out all of your other work after seeing this one. great painterly style!

Argh, I've seen this somewhere before... must have visited your website recently! This is a really awesome painting. The upper arm looks a little mushy, but everything else is just great.

very nice put an edge on those ears and he's got another deadly weapon!

Very stylish and dramatic. Great work.

Francis man, you absolutely rock! The lighting and composition are really interesting. <3 this!

Batman!!! Very nice.

Thanks for the comments and feedback! Im glad you liked this one.

Xelaxam - yeah, there are some anatomy problems - I was trying to stylize him somewhat, make him look more demonlike.

krazykrista - Thanks! I hope you post that Superman pic when you finish it.

Gridlock - cool man, I appreciate that!

nerfherder - I know exactly who you are talking about, and I enjoy his rendition too. In fact I really dig it when artists can put a new spin on an old character like Bat Man (hehe).

Jull - thank you

Haevion - wow, far from perfect but I appreciate the thought.

Dkbfly - hehe cool

bcorbett67 - thanks

bech - thanks, glad you like it

Stephan-Desy - yeah, I would say that some of Bisley's art is an influence, along with Frazetta, Brom, Cornwell and Sargent.

krot - thanks

DarkAnubis - LOL, cool!

anada - thank you, I'm working on it...

maggock - Thanks, I did post it at cgtalk too.

SeraFin - hehe yeah!

Samhain - thank you

PeachySticks - aw shucks! thank you very much!

Chris - Yeah, Batman rules. Glad you liked it.

F@#K ME!!! This is Awesome I even love the extended ears. Great Work!

wowwww

Francis.......I'm without words.....+9

(in italian : Minchia !)

Thats +5 from me... Great piece, really.

The pose looks very feminine to me, but it only makes the work even more interesting! powerful rendition.

yeah! thats awesome.

I think, if the "rock line" between the ears was not that parallel to the head/ears but in an lets say 50degree angle the picture would gain some more dynamics.

great work anyway!

the shoulder looks strange but the rest is just plain fantastic !

-I made it my desk top Francis....I finally got on here

That is insane by the way.........

Billy

yeah batman ^^
I like his dark and mature look

;o

so cool my smily went blind in one eye!

francis is one of the sickest cats here in my opinion. and whay aint this guy tops???? to much pop culture for this kind of freshness!! keep it greazy, your website is just plain stinky!!

a hyperbole from the original. XD . nice work.

Wow, the distortion is perfect!

Very well done!

Batman is my favorite character.....and this rendition is real cool. I personally like the exageration in the piece...it gives it some style....keepem' comin'

I agree, the slight distortions do add to it and make it very unique and quite cool

Great piece, between this and your joker pic I can't decide which one I like best, both are going into my favorites list.

+7!

I like the dark lighting, the irregular anatomy, the elongated horns...

Your work looks familiar; have you done stuff for Magic the Gathering?

PERFECTO!!!!!! +10000000000000000000

Good work all except the ears which are wayyyy too long. +7

Thanks for the added comments and feedback everybody. It seems that when you depict a very well known and well loved character in a way that people are not used to seeing, you'll get some strong reactions. I actually don't think I broke any new ground with this painting, but obviously not everyone sees Batman the way I do.

Sonofangron, I have done a few magic cards, and I am currently working on some other stuff for Wizards of the Coast, but actually nothing has been published yet. I think the first card comes out in April or May.

Kind of reminds you of Frank the Rabbit in Donnie Darko - the head, that is.

Great painting.

that's pretty good. his long ears made me laugh.

Gorgeous work! Love the dark color scheme and the lighting is perfect =)

Damn- I made a mistake in my voting and you cant change it =( Hate being a newbie. My real vote is a +5 out of +7 for any admin wondering about my funky vote!

I love it when clean cut super heros get nasty!

I love the styling in the ears and arm. i think it sums up the face behind the crime fighting super hero - a hunted, slightly disturbed person.

Job well done!

Full marks!

WHOA.......now thats batman

nice work!!! like it a lot though the size of the arm is too big

Very,very good!!!!!
I like it..!!!!
I love comics heros!!!!!
+8

I love how you extended the ears and spikes on the gloves. Great job.
