Spike-Bane: The Dark Knight Risesby =Arby-Works

Digital Art / Photomanipulation / Other

Spike looked down to the mare below him, watching her writhe in pain. He tossed the mask aside carelessly, further damaging the pride of the masked vigilante. The rainbow mane of the superhero was soaked in water falling from various pipes and whatnot. Spike looked around, his men at the ready. He heard movement behind him and smirked under his mask. He reached an arm out behind him, grasping the hoof of the vigilante; Rainbow Dash.

He clenched his fist, causing pain to the vigilante and lunged his other claw forward, grasping her neck. He lifted the mare into the air, releasing his grip on her hoof. He set it on the top of her barrel and held her above his head, like a trophy.

"I wondered what was going to break first; your spirit, or your body?" he said with a voice resembling genuine curiosity.

His grip on the mare's body tightened, and he slammed her down onto his knee.

Then. . .?

Good idea, and well enough realized. You did a good job of making him seem more menacing, they eyes and the spikes in particular. It seems like he's gone one stage forward of what we saw in "Secret of my Excess."

The problems are in the coloring. The light on his head needs to be blended better, the lines are much to evident. The highlighting on the legs, belly, and arms is good. The flat coloring of the tail is a big problem, it stands out way too much and looks cartoonish. Shade it to show off the arrowhead shape better, as well as the curve of it.

The chest area is almost completely invisible, I can barely make out the details. It's a little darker than it needs top be, which is understandable because from a lighting perspective it really should be dark like that.

All in all, it looks impressive, but try and work on your blending and gradients.

I wouldn't have thought of spike being bane, but it seems to fit pretty good

Has anyone else noticed that ever single batman character has had an awsome coat?

=Arby-Works Oct 28, 2012 Student General Artist

Yes, I have. Bane's jacket takes the cake.

I have not seen the movie yet, that however does not stop me from appreciating this amazing art.

=Arby-Works Jul 31, 2012 Student General Artist

Thank you. I have to say, after watching it myself, Bane became one of my favourite characters ever. I personally think he's better than the Joker, honestly.
