Happy New Year...

Happy New Year!

While hoping for the best, I'm pretty sure this infamous quote from the "Batman (1966)" movie will be the best way to describe the incoming 2017...

Another year come-and-gone, with the usual two steps forward, one step back, with a few steps sideways... and another half-step forward only to step on a few Legos with bare feet.  Y'know, the usual mix of ups and downs. 

I also want to take a few moments to thank everyone for stopping by to gawk at my meager Blog--with 100,000 views rapidly approaching (Wow!).  It is very much appreciated and I thank you all for it!  Here's to hoping for a Happy New Year for all!  :-)

STEP ONE:  Here are the scribbled digital pencils and inks on a 1,000px x 1,400px document.

STEP TWO:  Here's the quick, grayscale under-painting.

STEP THREE:  A Multiply Layer was used to add the flat colors.

STEP FOUR:  With a new Layer, I did the highlights, text, and other finishing touches.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!  :-)
