The final sketch for the march of Dimes eBay Charity Auction is not a life-drawing from the Cottage in Point Clark, but instead, something more akin to the rest of the work being submitted by other artists involved -a superhero.

The Batman, to be precise. One of the all time classics, rendered unclassically, although not without class, I should hope. I can’t just stick to normal conventions of comic-book style. There’s too much of it out there, and it’s not very good. So instead, I’ll always render heros with a more interesting approach, something more conceptual.

As I’ve said before, in much earlier posts, my concepts of Batman are greatly motivated by those who have seen a brief glimpse or two of him as he would operate in the darkness of a shadow, with a second in the light.

In this instance, the concept is loosely based on sketches witnesses have rendered of supernatural phenomena, such as an alien or bigfoot.
