A dragon warrior I designed.  I included an earlier version that still has line on it aswell.

I had to do a monster before Halloween.  This is a zombie ogre that gets resurrected by some crazy people doing a ritual.  He has an axe but he really doesn't need it.  The average human stands at just below his chest so he's pretty big.  Plus he has sharp boney protrusions and gnarly claws.  I'd say he's quite a threat.

This time of the year I'm always in the mood to play resident evil 4.  The game has some very beautiful designs and I wanted to do a piece inspired off of the castle area.  This is a reading room in a castle or mansion type structure.  I wanted to do a piece with lots of soft light hence the fire and lamp being the only light sources.

I decided to do three more characters in my medieval batman series.  I did Robin, Bane, and Two Face.  Robin has light armor and I pictured as a good archer.  Bane obviously is an executioner.  Two-face and Robin I took a little more liberty with.  There isn't a medieval character that has half a face as far as I know so I had a little more freedom designing him and wasn't transposing him as I did with the other characters.  Meaning, Joker to a jester, Bane to an executioner etc.  I gave him a disfigured half face and armor on his right arm.  I never liked the half and half costumes, and I feel this sort of hints at it without being completely obvious.

I also forgot to mention in the first post that I did these to test out scanning pencil drawings and manipulating them to look like ink drawings.  The original batman was a 20 something minute sketch out of my sketchbook and the rest are similar amounts of time.  The process still needs some tweaking, but I'd say it has promise.

I did a sketch of medieval batman and it got me to thinking batman would be really cool if it were set in that period.  I really liked the idea so I decided to do a quick painting of it.  After just finishing up a freelance job this was a nice little project of my own to do. 

It really makes sense if you think about it.  Bruce (or the medieval equivalent) would be rich so he could afford the suit of armor and stuff.  Being that other criminals might not be able to afford armor for their henchmen it makes sense that he could beat up a horde of them if they are so out matched.  His fighting skills would be even more useful because of the lack of guns.  His batarang would fit in more with the medieval setting too.  Plus his nick name is already the Dark Knight!  Like I said, a lot of it makes sense.

I also did two of the villains.  Penguin and Joker lend themselves to this era very well.  Penguin obviously having the plague doctor mask and Joker equally obviously being a jester.  I might make another sheet of more villains and maybe robin just because it was so fun.
