The 1st page of painted Batman samples I made recently.

I did my own version of Catwoman in this page. She is more of an emo teenage thief. Hope you like it, was a blast to paint! Please check out the other pages and my original pencils! Cheers! :)

Original pencils can be seen here: [link]

That's terrible.

well, first of all, the page distribution is poor, the different squares don't seem to, in any way, lead to each other, there is no noticeable flow of events, Batman and Catwoman just strike random poses devoid of dynamics or action to the camera for no reason, and finally, Catwoman.

It's not like you can just grab a Batman villain and say 'this is my version'; there is a continuity to be followed. Besides, Catwoman is a flirtatious high class thief with an unprecedented record; I find that those ears, that shirt, that make-up, and particularly the painted whiskers, are more than humiliating to the character.

Now, on the other hand, if that were meant to be Holly, then it would fit a lot more. But still the whiskers are utterly wrong.

Wow...strong opinion there but ok. Did the original pencil layout pretty quick so, yeah, the story telling suffered a bit...

I'd say that if you're aspiring for DC you'd have to get better, but they hire some terrible artists sometimes...

I don't mean to say that this is ALL bad; you clearly have anatomy and shading at a good level, it's mainly the page distribution, dynamics and flow that let you down. And that Catwoman version.

I'm not actually trying to insult here, I like to give constructive criticism. I suggest you look at some action mangas such as Naruto, Bleach and Tsubasa; I believe we can all learn a thing or two from them. Although with this detailed style, perhaps The Killing Joke or Hush would appeal more to you.

Catwomans Design sieht gut aus! Ich mag das Detail um die Brosche auf Hello Kitty ;) Was für waren dieses Seiten gemacht? Hoffentlich ein Job mit DC oder...?
