The story is incredibly atmoshperic, I was super lucky to draw that one. I read it and wanted to start sketching right away.

Very cool. Makes me wonder what he's watching, and what that flashlight inside is doing.

It looks great! It stands on its own very well and also makes me want to read the story.

It is gorgeous. I love your style. I like the way it appears as though its the warm light from the streetlamp that's billowing Batman's cape, as though it's saying something about light and dark. And then the torchlight in the window kind of creeps up on you.

That's fantastic! It really captures an old gothic sensibility, like Gotham by Gaslight. I love the texture of the painting, as well, how it's like it really was inked on paper and not that new shiny paper we use now for comics.

Yeah, I'll always have a preference for this kind of coloring. This was colored on old-fashioned watercolor paper, and that effect is hard to get in PS. I'm still working on a way to combine the two, by making my own watercolor brushes.
