HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Batman-uary - Knightfall
HAPPY (belated) NEW YEAR!
OK, it's a two-fer--both my first post to celebrate the New Year (sure, the first month is over half over, but let's not bring up the past), and something Batman-uary related. It's based on the Knightfall series cover, "Batman" #497 by Kelly Jones.
I hope everyone has a Happy New Year! Out with the old and in with the new!

STEP ONE: Here are the quick pencils. I did them quickly using the Symmetry Tool in Clip Studio Paint (as much as I like Rebelle 7, it doesn't have a Symmetry Tool as of yet), exported it as a .png with a clear background, and imported it into Rebelle as a rough guide.
At first I was gonna just leave it as Bane breaking 2024, but decided to add in the Penny and T-Rex from the cover and make it a more close parody of the cover. Also, I originally was going to follow Jone's way over-the-top back to Bane, but it starting looking weird as I painted it, so I tried to make it... well, "Realistic" isn't quite the right word when describing Bane.

STEP TWO: After a lot of back-and-forth here's the finished digital painting. I did each element on their own layer (Background, Penny, T-Rex, Bane, 2024, and one extra for Bane's hands on a top layer). Because I was not paying attention and accidentally deleted the layer, I only have the pencils and finished picture rather than something at a halfway point. One of these days, I'll learn...
