Sketch for perhaps a new comic book/proposal. Batman vs Daikaiju! (Japanese for giant strange beasts or monsters).
I’ve always itched to create some Fun-boy gags with him wearing a batman costume and trying to be a super-hero.
These were concepts as I envisioned of him as a vinyl figure wearing the costume. My thoughts were to use the same mold for various costumes and add different accessories. I also have him wearing a black terror and werewolf outfit. Awoooooooo!
This was a sketch depicting an idea I had for a story where Batman helps some rogue young warriors in a post apocalyptic alternative universe.
This was another Warner Bros. project. They asked me to come up with a more friendlier, less brooding Batman style so I thought I’d try a style based on one of my favorite creators / artists, Osamu Tezuka.
The first in the trilogy of DC Superhero books I’ve been working on.
