Description I wanted a new print for Wizard World LA this weekend, and I have been sitting on this Nightwing for awhile.

So if you are checkin out the con, come on by, and a signed 11x17 version of this can be all yours!

Inked in Illustrator 9
Colored in Photoshop 7

*EDIT*
I added another support beam underneath the ledge he is on, and played with the sky just a bit more. Nothing big, but adds some more pinache to it.

mullet'D!
awesome pose and lines... much more dynamic, which is never a bad thing. ^^ his expression fits in weird considering what he's doing, but that just may keep it more interesting, if anything.

mhannecke [2006-03-15 05:19:56 +0000 UTC]

nice stuff!

my only crit would be that the perspective is off, the buildings in the back are vanishing towards a different vanishing point than the building nightwing is swinging on.

Great peice

Nightwing! 'Ey, I prefer myself some good ol' Timmy Drake, but I gotta' give the original Robin his proper props. That boy sure got himself a bad-ass costume, and a nice mane o' hair there too. Groovy citscape. (Inked in Illustrator? Mang... I gots to learn me that digi-inking thang one o' these days.) Good stuff bro!

In ref to your other comment there: Prints for conventions are tricky beasts. I take great egotistical and somewhat maniacal glee in that I've been able to play in the convention market as well as I have - but even with a year's worth of cons under my belt now, I still haven't AA-ed at a comic book sponsored con yet. Been to them, but never been an Alley-cat at one. So I got nothin' I could say about it. One of these days I really gotta' put some money on the table, play the odds, and get out there to the west-coast though. 'Cause I'd really love to con-it-up comic book style with some of ya' folks.

LightBombMike In reply to herms85 [2006-03-13 15:21:26 +0000 UTC]

Thanks dude.

Yeah, it always amazes me how I get more commissions for sketches at cons than I do people that buy prints. A sketch is a crap shoot... it could be awesome, it could not be what they wanted at all, but a print is guaranteed to be something I have put time into. This will be my 4th year behind the table, and I still haven't figured out the formula!
