Batgirl locked up in Arkham Asylum [sketch #2]

Continuing from my earlier Batgirl locked up in Arkham Asylum [sketch #1] here is my second quick sketch for the fake-cover layout.


I'm still trying what poses I could get out of Batgirl and her side-to-side cell-mates Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy. This time Commissioner Gordon is not walking away from her, but standing just outside and has a stern but confident look on his face.


While the Batman Gotham Adventures comic is set in the continuity and style of  cartoon Batman the New Adventures, I'm currently leaning more towards drawing Commissioner Gordon in Batman TAS style as well as Batgirl and Harley Quinn. I'm more of a fan of the gray-blue costumed Batgirl than mostly-black version.

Drawing was done with a 2½ HB lead-pencil and photo taken with HTC Desire smartphone.

Batgirl locked up in Arkham Asylum [sketch #1]

I've been a fan of Batman The Animated Series as well as it's follow-up The New Batman Adventures ever since I was a kid. The comics that were tied into giving extra life to the show's continuity were something that I never really got into, mostly because only few were published here in Finland.

But I'm really liking Batman Gotham Adventures and was inspired to draw a sketch of an cover-art, featuring Commissioner Gordon locking Batgirl inside Arkham Asylum, with Barbara trying to get his attention as the commish walks away.

Here's the first quick sketch that hopefully illustrates my idea for the layout. Proportions are propably way off, but I'll see to that when I start refining the lines.

Mad props to my bro Mikko for spitballing ideas with me. :)
