Which program have you used for the sketch?
great job!

That is simply gorgeous! They really compliment each other.

Nice coloring job! I like how the color goes from saturated at the bottom to muted at the top. The only color issue I see is the batarang rope. It stands out a bit too much for me.

I agree with you on all points here David, including the compliment!

Great work! Collors are moody so that they not only match the feeling of the piece but also Scotie Youngs style. The face expression of HB is just adorable.

Cool piece. The only thing that bothers me is HB's crooked gun. It takes away from the piece.

Wowzers! That's soooo nice. Great job!

JEEPERS!!! Great pic by Skottie and FANTASTIC coloring job by you!

Some more of S.Y. renderizations of HB:

I like the red one though I think it's a bit too Jokerish if I may say so. I do not fancy the second one- Hb has some problems with his neck on it... It's just too gigantic.

? gun looks fine to me. Also, JG! didn't draw it, Scottie Young did.

Very sweet colors JG!. I'm digging, like Petersen and Stygian, the change in saturation from top to bottom. Your coloring reaally works for this piece, and you have the figures a lot of volume. Good stuff, for sure.

thanks all glad you all enjoyed it

JDP.O.D.freak777 - this was done in PS 7 though i have now switched to PS:CS8
just so i can make my own keyboard shorcuts cos i'm lazy
if you are looking to get into/improve your colouring skills try polykarbon.com this is where i got into colouring the tutorials are great for beginners

Petersen - yeah i do see what you mean now i never noticed that before it does stand out a lot i may go back and change that just drop the colour on it a bit
