This Was My Design For The Riddler, Please Ignore The Fact That He Has No Hands 😭 I Thought I Would

Unfinished Batman to match my vintage rogues hehe. This was only my like, second time drawing Batman,, for someone who's really into Batman I don't draw him that much lol sorry man

Thoughts ~

I wanted to lean more into historical (or historically believable) clothing rather than the sci-fi clothing he usually wears. Cape neck closure was based on a WW2 era military raincoat, he's also wearing spats and boots and jodphurs and the like. Mainly WW2 inspiration because I feel like people always skip over the fact that Batman was created in wartime America and it makes the history buff in me sad :(( Also some COLOR because he's all BLACK and GRAY and SAD nowadays (but still muted for nighttime camoflague)

Since you little FREAKS (affectionate) liked my doc ocks here's another one :) it's tssm flavored

I'm almost through watching tssm and I fully expected doc ock to be kind of a weird little kids show villain (listen. I do love my corny villains though) but he's actually very developed?? I'm impressed, I'm genuinely floored by the writing and pacing of the whole show, and the characters are really well developed. I need to shut up and go to sleep now. Honk shoo~

more oc stuff

Lirien, Taer, Idhrenes. all of them are from Doriath :D Idhrenes is a marchwarden

as you can probably tell, first two are revised versions of this and this, and all of their poses are based on the ones I have on the group portrait thing (im lazy zzz)

bigger images under cut

Another oc portrait. Taer of Doriath, Captain of the Guards.

(i made that up ofc)

oog.... forgot about this heh...... My taste in books is all over the place, I've been working my way through the Perry Mason books so that's most of what's on here. I'm 9 chapters into the Silmarillion tho

9 BOOKS I PL*N TO READ IN 2025 (xD

Tagged by @emeraldskulblaka, thank you! For let me finally make a book list of things I have been meaning to read but was procrastinating 😶‍🌫️

Tagging @another-art-studentt @soapylaundry

YAYY HE DIDNT DIE IN BATTLE!! HE CAME BACK!!!

A couple of years ago I had the experience of watching When Knighthood Was In Flower (1922) in theaters and soon after I came down with a serious disease of I Love 1920s Medieval Fantasy Stuff, of which I have never recovered. I have no idea what the story is behind these people but they've been around since then, I painted them last month for a school project.

@another-art-studentt you're the only one who kind of knows who they are lol

oh god uhhh, here have this! It's the lone ranger

oc reveal I guess!! spidersona? maybe?? can I call her a spidersona if she doesn't have spider powers??? Idk still working on her design but her name is nellie <3

I offer you all this, which is a really bad drawing of the Mad Hatter that Johnathon Crane drew in a dream I had a while back and I couldn't stop laughing at it lmao,, this is my best artists rendition

Here they are... the final set (for now!) of vintage rogues.... they slowly declined in quality lmao

Firefly was based off of mainly WW1 flamethrower gear, he's just a weird amalgamation of stuff. If I were actually writing a story here I had the idea of him being a kid in Germany during WW1, maybe something tramatic happened involving fire and by the time WW2 electric boogaloo came around he was old enough to dress up and set things on fire....idk folks the two world wars tie in to each other a lot and I think thats some wasted potential!!!!

Roxie Rocket was just based on 1930s flight uniforms, and her rocket was inspired by those vintage sci-fi illustrations of what people though the future would look like. She never made it past sketch phase rip

The Mad Hatter!! Boy I was sad I didn't finish this one. I wanted to do a simple historically accurate 1860s look, since that's what most of the versions of him are based off of, as Alice in Wonderland was published 1865. While researching clothing I discovered that plaid pants were a thing in the mid 1800s?? I think a lot of designs give him checkered pants but that feels too modern to me... I had to give him plaid pants I feel like he would love plaid pants. He would eat them up.

So yeah!! I have a few more ideas for Scarecrow and Riddler sketched out so you might see them around :)
