So! Last thing I felt I needed to get done before New Year! This Year’s Daredevil-remake!

So, compared with last year’s, I don’t think my art-skills or style has developed that much, maybe changed or refined the vibe somehow. Like how Daredevil’s face looks slimmer and fitter than last year’s, he looks more muscular. Less halloween-costume, more superhero-suit, looking at how Christopher Reeve’s suit sat on him instead of one of my random shirts in the mirror. So I guess the development 2023-2024 was how I could make it more character-fitting and interesting and references.

So, yellow street lights have changed to the red/blue police-lamps, random rooftop has changed to what could be the top of a church, city background has become bigger, trying to showcase how much area this one character has influence and responsibility over but blending in with the noise of the background.

Random lighted windows now have the shape of braille, hinting at his disability and what makes the character stick out, the texts referring to biblical verses and comic quotes if you want to take the time and translate.

The blue sky is now black with a hint of red, connecting more to his color-scheme and I wanted to think more from his perspective of the world. The heartbeats are less of a game-hub and more of just part of the input of the world around him.

Wanted the billy-clubs a little bit more fluid and over-the-top but maybe too much over the top.

So more probably changed than stayed but if I got the basic idea of Daredevil on top of the roof, this would have come up in my head now instead of what I did in 2021.

So… curious on how I will retake this piece 2025.
