Try something new

I usually like trying new things, especially if it'll let me expand my skills and hone or stretch my abilities.

So for this, I wanted to kind of reverse my normal method.
A sketch layer, a shade layer, and everything else on one layer. Line-art in the colour of the item. Fill it in a slightly different shade of same colour.

Not a terrible re-imagining for Sketch_Dailies' topic of The Riddler, but if you figure he's wearing a bald-cap, and a wig on top of it... plus the eye-mask, well, maybe that ain't too bad. Most of the redesign went into the trade-mark ?-cane.  A bit more short-blade sickle, and I figured hey, green & purple, a lot of weapons nowadays have circles punched through them for weight balancing and what-not, why not do that, but fill'em with the other costume colour ? I think I spent 2 hours start to finish, with a lot of revision in the sketch phase.

While most of the picture could burn, I am really please with how Edward's shoes came out.

Batman '66

So, via Greg Pak, by way of Brian Michael Bendis with a source of Alex Chung through the magic of Tumblr, I come across a black and white image of this awesomeness.  Classic 1966 Batman and villains as drawn by Kevin Maguire.

And it's just one of those things I had to colour. From memory, despite the fact the show is/was before my time, but reruns let everything live forever, more or less.

So.. some classic campy Batman, drawn by Kevin Maguire, coloured by me:

My only real concern doing this from memory is the Egg Master [Egg Man?..bald guy by the Joker, played by Vincent Price if I remember right], and the two top-corner villains, along with the prison-striped faceless guy behind the Mad Hatter.

And just because.. I even colour-doodled in Cesar Romero's white-painted mustache on the Joker.

Trying to think of the actors behind the costumes...  Adam West, Burt Ward, Cesar Romero, Frank Gorshin, Julie Newmar \ Ertha Kitt, Vincent Price, Burgess Meredith, ... I can't remember who played King Tut, Mr. Freeze or the Mad Hatter.
