The Dark Knight Rises

[jwshaw89]

As it's been about a decade, give or take, since my last WIP, I thought I'd make an effort to get back into the swing of things.

I imagined that I'd have no trouble finding tonnes of high quality images of Bane (and a good shot of his mask) in this film, but how wrong I was. The few good promos I've found have him at a funny angle, or in poor lighting.

So I had to be a bit creative...

+ a bit of manipulation and a haircut

This still isn't a great image of his mask, so I made use of the image below for reference.

After a few hours with the tablet, this is where I'm at:

At 100%:

Not entirely sure where I'm going to take this, but I hope that posting it on here will give me good reason to work on it.

Often it's good just to get an idea up and running to give you the incentive to get going on a new project and this is an impressive start as always JW

Did a bit more work on the mask and adjusted its position slightly.
