Batman + Carl

This one was based on a sketch of Batman I made a long time ago.

The face and expression I drew then always reminded me of grumpy old Carl Fredricksen from Pixar's "Up", so I pushed it a little further and made the connection clearer. A little bit of random idea, but that was the nature of the original sketch.

It took me a while to learn the skills to be able to paint Carl in a style that resembled his movie appearance, but I think I got a good result.

I included a portrait version I did with a different coloring style before I decided to do a full body drawing to make the idea clearer.
