welcome to gotham city




MORE batman mini dudes, 28 of them i'm counting. the batmobile counts as a character.

im sure the costumes are all way off and some are more deformed than others. but for some reason, i have no problem improvising costumes and features for Gotham characters. i figure if they looked cool to me, that was fun enough. unlike the marvel one i did here, where i actually had to go out to look for costumes and ref what they kinda look like.

also, i actually tried to do a step by step of this that i'll post as soon as i get more time.

anyway, these are all my favorite gotham guys and gals, the penguin pose you've seen before is here

alfred is my fav on this. He was inspired by Duckworth on Ducktales.

22" x 15", 300lb softpress watercolor btw.

wow..just wow, the attention to detail is quite awesome, and the small things like hush's pendant and the throwbacks to the animated series make this quite the impreesive piece. By the way, this is my new wallpaper and i dont see it changing anytime soon, so thank you very much.

As usual, amazing work! Where can we buy a print? Also, curious about your take on The Dark Knight. I saw it last night at my local IMAX, and was amazed - first movie I have seen that has actually lived up to all the hype given to it.

hey guys, thanks everyone for really diggin this as much as i enjoyed creating it. i guess you can tell i kinda like batman by now.

for those questioning, the little girl on clayface is "annie" from teh animated series, episode from " growing pains". she's clayface, or moreso, his daughter alter ego?

somethng of that sort.

as for prints, come get'm at san diego!

Hi Justin,

I love your drawing! The Batman Animated Universe is probably my favorite incarnation of Batman. Just one question - who is the guy in yellow on top of the Batsignal (standing next to Zantana and the Batwoman)? That's the only one I can't quite place.

Hi,
I really like the art prints of both Marvel & Gotham... However, I can't get to SD from Belgium so easily... There a chance you'd sell them directly?
