Amanda Palmer

Amanda Palmer has split up from her record label, which means she needs to celebrate her freedom. This is how I would imagine rock stars celebrate things these days, with a rather reserved session of Bubble-me-Do.

Illustration Friday: "Equipment"

Click to enlarge

One of the most defining aspects of Batman (besides the fact he's a fascist sociopath) is his gadgets, or eqipment. One of the most successful elements of the Christopher Nolan rebooted Batman franchise is the logical origins of all Batman's fantastical gear. This is how I imagine the scene would look if Christopher Nolan were to try and reboot this aspect of the Batman mythos in the next Batman film.

In case you have never seen the Adam West Batman movie here is a clip to elucidate the gag in my illo:



Still, I'd prefer the tried to work Shark Repellent spray into the next Batman film than work Robin into it!! ;)

A crop, for crop's sake.

My default setting when I want to do a drawing but am not working on a specific project or can't think of anything worthier. Was a bit bored today and stuck in a "I don't know what to draw!" braintrap, so drew a massive geezer covered in guns and had fun doing it.

I suppose in a way I was influenced by Illustration Friday's word of the week "Equipment" in so far as a soldier type guy has lots of it, but I might try and do something a little more focused for IF. I hate it when you see people drawing any old tat (or one of their recurring themes) and show horn it into IF's word. Kinda defeats the purpose of it all in my arrogant opinion.

Kim Newman's Video Dungeon

Click to enlarge

Empire are currently running a contest to design Kim Newman's Video Dungeon. They have provided a few pdf photos of Kim to use. Despite these photographic assets, there's already a couple of other entries which are hand drawn/painted. Here is my entry, not a particularly good likeness but I'm quite happy with the overall image.
