Time to get off ass and upload these like I keep promising. No really, it simply takes a kick in the ass by my girlfriend to get me to do ANYTHING...you name it.

This here is No.2 of the 4 pieces I did for my teacher at my old school (No.1 being the Hulk) and out of all four, portraying the Daredevil was the most daunting I felt. I asked him if there was anything I could go on - to which I was told to "spice up his outfit similar to the other things I design" and "make him more pensive, like the Crow".

That to me means: "Make those damn horns longer!" and "Make him in a calmer pose then he's normally portrayed in".
To add to the experience, Daredevil is the one character I know very little about (seriously, for all I've been told, is that he's blind...but he can see -__-) and I must admit - digging around for info, background and trivia was one of the really fun parts of this piece and really brought me to enjoy it in the end.

I used this piece to capture further that dystopian, over policed city that I was asked to set these characters around - hence the city scape...which has been years since I've done one :O

Tell me what you think - it really grew on me once I had finished the piece but I must say - I still hate *pokerface* Ben Affleck regardless of him acting as Daredevil. I chucked in a couple of easter eggs in here as well - namely connecting my last piece and this one.

Next up - Spiderman :D

IN BEFORE: I'm pretty damn sure there are perspective issues a go-go in here. Please give a little slack, really got thrown into the deep end of the perspective pool, and its a learning curve that I need to get used to.

IN BEFORE: My interpretation of Daredevil = he's not going to look EXACTLY like the comic book version. Especially in the outfit department. As obvious as it may sound to some, I still get notes and comments on "how the Hulk didn't look exactly like the film version". If I get given free reign, I take bloody advantage of it :nod:

Love it! I'm very proud of you and the background in this one, I know it's something you usually get heavily into, so well done!

I see one main link from The Hulk, I'm still adsorbing the details though.

His outfit is killer-rad! My favourite parts being the shoulders and back section with his logo on.

Excellent work! :+fav:

This looks amazing, as said before. I love the depth you've created with the city in the background. Also. He actually looks like a vigilante, and not some goof-ball-spandex-wearing-hero. Something that I really like in this picture is hers boots, and how well you've done the straps. Looks awesome.

Now... off to do some art of my own. Thx for the inspiration. :)

You hit the head on the nail ;) I'm not so hot with the whole clean cut spandex idea (never ever have been :O...well, on men that is....jk!) and whilst I tried to distance myself from it, Daredevil still needs something thats form fitting enough to allow more agile movement.
Even what you said about the vigilante is *exactly* what I intended. Since Daredevil isn't a mutant and more of a "defenderrrr of justice hero", I wanted him to be less of a victim as such (like the Hulk was with the other antagonists) and more of that vigilante vibe you mentioned.

Thanks alot for the comment man - in turn, you've inspired me :D

Really? I'm telling you there are perspective mistakes there - ah what the hell, the buildings are crumbling, they can be as skew as they want :D
Thanks for the compliment Raemae - I appreciate it :nod:

Haha lol, you're one of those who know my issues with backgrounds from a loooong time ago :lmao: I've been trying to push myself lately with them, and ever since I was asked to do these - I KNEW I had to pull finger and put effort into the backgrounds. Glad you dig it!

As always, the character design and outfit are always my favourite thing to do ;) And the horns look less like cat ears now!
