I thought it might be a good idea to put all of my Batman-inspired animations (to date) in one post, to quell any confusion as to their origins.

I’d like to thank all the wonderful people who have enjoyed these animations over the past 7 months.  Each of these take so much work and planning to create, and I really try hard to bring people something of quality and consideration.  There are a few things though I wish to clarify about them though:

• These are all my own work, with everything first drawn and animated by hand in ink, then scanned in and colored in Photoshop.  Various 3d elements are also modeled and rendered by me in trueSpace (an ancient 3d program, but really intuitive for me and great for this type of work), and then finished up in AfterEffects.
• They are not part of a larger work; each are stand-alone animated illustrations, though I’d love to one day make something as involved and wonderful as Otaking77077’s INCREDIBLE Star Wars animation.  If you don’t know it, watch it NOW…it’s a huge huge inspiration to me.
• I do plan on making more, but I am a full-time illustrator, so I only get to do these on my free time, which along with how much work they require is why there are only a few right now.  But definitely hope to make more (especially if DC/WB ever were to ask for them…hint hint)

I don’t mean to sound petty or pedantic…just meant to address some FAQ’s I get. 

Anyway, again, thanks to anyone and everyone who ever stops by and takes a look at these…I make them for us all to enjoy  :)

I was fortunate enough to be commissioned to visualize 3 possible Batman reboot ideas for Dr. Will Brooker’s article on io9 today, A Few Ways to Reboot the Batman Movies After The Dark Knight Rises

Thanks Will!
