Hamishmash Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 In the week before The Dark Knight Rises... rises, I thought it'd be fun to redesign some of the iconic residence of Gotham. I'll upload 1 a day! Today's Batman character is Catwoman - Blog Post: http://www.hamishmash.com/post/27083924597/happy-bat-week-ill-be-giving-you-a-new-batman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamishmash Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 I don't really like this one. I'll try and make tomorrow's a tad more exciting.

Paj! Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Oh I love. Catwoman reminds me of a man, but then that stuns more. Yes for the animated series costume reference. I love her booties. I need the entire rogue's gallery. Your interpretations of Poison Ivy, Clayface, Man-Bat, Mr. Freeze, Joker, Riddler...argh. Them all. Do them all. And Batman and Robin.

Hamishmash Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 Animated series Catwoman is by far the best costume... I wanted to stear as far away from the Arkham-verse design for all the female characters cos I think they're bloody ugly. I was gonna do one a day, but there are so many great characters and they're so fun to do that I might try and double up. I was planning on drawing Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn together, and then Robin and Batgirl together. The others I've got planned are Clayface, Joker, Batman and Bane... but I'm sure I can throw in a few more requests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Clayface is my fave...have you seen the animated series episodes with him? They're my fave. And I love his re-interpretation as disease/AIDS victim in Arkham Asylum (the book/graphic novel, not the game). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I love his re-interpretation as disease/AIDS victim in Arkham Asylum (the book/graphic novel, not the game). Well... just for you I decided to give you some Clayface! (Also cos I was having trouble drawing any humans at all, let along Robin and Batgirl). Also it breaks things up a bit. Blog Post: http://www.hamishmash.com/post/27186599462/happy-bat-week-ill-be-giving-you-a-new-batman Also yeah I have seen him in the animated series! AMAZING animation in his "death scene" so to speak. Generally just that whole series is a great interpretation. I think my redesigns are more meant to be set in that whole kind of world/tone then anything else, it suits my style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Batman’s most famous or popular of foes, the Killer Moth actually has an excellent and amusing backstory… a prisoner who is obsessed with the Dark Knight, after he is out of jail, he becomes an anti-Batman, beating up police officers in order to help petty thieves. I think that’s a fun idea, and I gave him a kind of Rocketeer update. Any love for Killer Moth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paj! Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Love Killer Moth but not sold on Poison Ivy. I feel there's no mystique/allure (not meaning she has to be naked/boobs out or anything), but that's a big thing about her. And ginger afros tend to set off alarm bells. She/her face reminds me of a contestant from Britain (and America's) Next Top Model though, one of my faves, Catherine Thomas: She has those sharp, long pointy features that are really intriguing and delicate (like a plant), alluring without being Angelina Jolie jammy and sexual. So I like the face. But not the hair/costume. My fave ivy design is Tim Sale's radical re-interpretation: Very nypmh/dryad, but I like it. More in the vein of 'Let's make his villains more like creatures than humans', but it fits his aesthetic. [/i love Poison Ivy] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamishmash Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 I hate Poison Ivy and I think it tells in my design, but everyone wanted me to give her a go. I don't see the appeal. My first sketches were very different... to me she should be this horrendously, monstrous, biological accident... I can't justify her being alluring or sexy at all if she's this infected, damaged being. So I made her a cactus. :P I didn't actually want to make her ginger but I thought that was the thing you couldn't change. I originally wanted to make her bald... I like that last design you posted. I still just find the whole... sexy nymph thing really laughable... I am probably going to redraw Two Face next week, so I might do Poison Ivy as well. I just... don't see her appeal. EDIT: I've redrawn Poison Ivy and like her a lot more now... so yes... thanks Henry for saying "no, you're wrong, this is shit" because now I really like my design.

I tried to make a Poison Ivy that would appeal more to you. I really think this one captures the allure Paj was talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnus Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 You can have a picture of Riddler, but first you need to find 200 Riddler trophies hidden somewhere in Hamish's 1,600 posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamishmash Posted July 21, 2012 Author Share Posted July 21, 2012 In my head I don't think the Riddler should look particularly interesting. I see him like BBC Sherlock's Moriarty... kind of just setting up crimes for Batman to solve in order to test the world's greatest detective. Therefore, I just imagine him being a man in a suit... and I have 7 days and wanted to draw some more interesting characters. I play on doing Riddler, Penguin and a few others later. For now, have Batmishmash Phase One! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
