Batman v Superman Fan Art ... by Daniel Grant Newton

Okay, so it's about ten months away, but I am super excited about seeing Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.  As anyone who knows me knows, I love Batman, the Justice League and all DC Comics.  

If the movie is even half as good as the comics or DC animated movies/series, it'll probably become one of, if not my favourite movie.

So in anticipation of its release in March next year (in the USA), and in celebration of seeing the beginning of a series of live-action Justice League movies, I decided to create DC fan art for your viewing pleasure.  Plus, I just love drawing Batman, so there.

Below is the first of these pictures.  I hope you enjoy my version of Batman and Superman's epic battle, with Batman wearing a kryptonite ring because it evens the fight, makes for an epic chiaroscuro lighting effect, and...

BECAUSE HE'S BATMAN!

'Battle of the Rising Sun' by Daniel Grant Newton

Hey friend!! 

I've created a new art piece for you!.. and this one comes with a mystery.

I call it "Battle of the Rising Sun", because the samurai and the warrior depicted are both in the Land of the Rising Sun, and are also literally battling at sunrise. So the name seemed fitting.

Now for the mystery... 

It appears that both warriors could simultaneously have struck the final blow of their combatant, or been dealt their final blow (or a third option, they have both taken each other's lives at the same time).

My question for you today, who do you think has won and who has fallen on the battle field?  And if you are feeling very imaginative, which if you read my blog I hope you are, what do you think the story could be that brought these two together?

I hope you have enjoyed my picture for today, and if you are a Freaky Freaky Fridays fan, watch out for episode 2 of the crossover series with Nik & Mike that will be up on my blog in the coming days!!

Your friend, Daniel :-)

'Hooded Hero on a Longboat' by Daniel Grant Newton

Hey hey hey!!

I am in love... in love with this new program I found for my iPad called Procreate.  Yes, interesting name I know, but cool program.

Essentially you can use your stylus pen to paint, draw and create, and it is AWE-SOME-NESS.

I'm still getting used to it, mind you the learning curve is not as sharp as I would've expected, but I thought I'd share the very first image I painted after buying the program last night.

'Hooded Hero on a Longboat' by Daniel Grant Newton

This picture is of a hooded hero sailing into the misty unknown on his longboat, sword drawn ready for anything that may lurk ahead, and cape caught in the mysterious wind.

I hope you enjoyed the pic and my over enthusiasm!  And if you are an artist or want to really get into art, do your research because there might be better programs out there, but I do highly highly recommend checking Procreate out as part of that research.

Your friend on the edge of Freaky,

Daniel
