The Bat-Man/New Blog Design



First off, I redesigned my blog today. I think it turned out really cool. If you've been to my blog before, you can tell it's the same background and banner/header, but the rest of the design is different. It's got a sleeker look.

Now onto the drawing. I've been getting more into the golden age of Batman lately, so I decided one night to doodle Batman as he first appeared, ever. For the first three Batman stories ever, the title was The Bat-Man. This was back in the days when he occasionally carried a gun. Nowadays he relies on gadgets like his batarangs, which makes more sense for him. He's not The Punisher, he's Batman. He's not an anti-hero, he's a superhero. This was also back when his Batmobile was pretty much a regular red car. There were no fins or anything like that. Sometimes the car is depicted with a bat-shaped hood ornament, but other than that, there's nothing on it that really makes it distinguishable as the Batmobile. Batman's rogues gallery started with The Joker. I've been reading volume one of The Batman Chronicles, collecting the first comic book stories Batman ever appeared in. It's a great book. The golden age of Batman was an awesome era.

Twix

This is my drawing for day 25 of Terri's "30 DAY DRAWING/ART CHALLENGE." You're supposed to draw "your favourite sweet food/candy/etc (Terri)." I have a few favorites, actually, and this is one of them. This specifically is a drawing of a fun size Twix from a Christmas variety bag. The scallop in the right circle behind the Twix is because one of the circles on the wrapper is like that. At least it looks like a circle with a scallop on the wrapper. I'm thinking of doing more with it later.  Works Cited Terri. 30 Day Art Challenge . Terri. http://terribly.deviantart.com/art/30-DAY-ART-CHALLENGE-330788048

Art Projects

I've been thinking about ideas for art projects. I'm planning on getting The Drawing Board #13 done and posted on here within this week, or maybe Sunday of next week. I've been wanting to do an artwork as a tribute to our armed forces. I'm also thinking of doing a comic strip about Eliza Dushku. That last idea is inspired by the comics on NataliePortman.com. I'll be posting those artworks as soon as they're completed.

Sword of Omens

I was watching Thundercats last night and it occurred to me, there hasn't been a show like it since, or at least not many. For one thing, the animation is very realistic and detailed. Most animated action shows nowadays have a style similar to that of Batman: the Animated Series , or anime. Those types of animation are great, but there's been nothing that looks like Thundercats since the '80s or early '90s. Another thing is, as far as I remember, there also hasn't been many animated shows like it in the fantasy genre since. I think you could probably describe it as being somewhere between Lord of the Rings and Star Wars. I know there aren't talking cat people, living in a lair shaped like a giant cat, in either of those, but it sort of has the feel of those. Third Earth sort of resembles a world like the one in Lord of the Rings, with all kinds characters, but there is also technology like in Star Wars. Star Wars also has some worlds that don't look as tec
