Description
Sorry 'bout the uncreative title...IT'S FINALLY DONE!!!
This is my entry to ~Laminated-TeabaG 's Ying and Yang Contest.
UPDATE: It got third place!
Harvey Dent is probably one of my favorite characters from the Dark Knight, and I just find his personality so fascinating. It was just the first thing I thought of when I saw the contest theme.
The drawing represents not only the duality of Harvey Dent, but of the contrast between good and evil, light and dark, order and chaos.
I decided not to post any detail shots, but if you click download, you can see it really big, and you can gaze that all its detailed glory (seriously, who am I kidding?
This took countless hours, and sorry the left-side background's kinda sloppy...well, really sloppy.
So, enjoy! And comments and tips are always appreciated.
Time: FOREVER.
Materials: 18"x24" drawing paper, pencils from HB-9B, ebony black pencil, 0.5 mechanical pencil, cotton rounds, eraser pencil and a regular eraser, various references (do you know how hard it is to find a good two-face picture?!?!?! or one of Rachel?
Characters (c) Copyright not me, composition (c) my crappy imagination, do not use without permission, because I have
And, just a random fact, Gotham's loosely based on Hong Kong.

This is so cool! I love the detail you went into! And the background on both side is really neat- I love how you incorporated Gotham city into one side and all the people on the other. Fantastic work!

Thanks! The detail was fun to draw...in a sort of time consuming way. But yeah, thanks again!

yay! it came out awesomly (altho the question marks still sorta bug me. 👍: 0 ⏩: 1 i'm gonna come over and see it!!!
its not quite as over-crowded as i thought it would be, and, on the whole, the layout worked pretty well.
ColonelFitz In reply to purpleginger [2008-09-22 06:16:47 +0000 UTC]
Wait...what exactly about the question marks bugs you?

ColonelFitz In reply to purpleginger [2008-09-27 18:41:50 +0000 UTC]
Ah, okay. Makes sense.
Although I actually kind of like how they look. They're clean. Unlike the rest of my drawing.

good work, just the amount of details in it looks hard and with number of faces to draw, you ve done a good job
i like two face s character, life can be destructive

ColonelFitz In reply to Shivluvzmusic [2008-09-22 00:02:26 +0000 UTC]
Thanks! The amount of detail took...forever. Looking at your gallery, though, you seem to have some experience with that...
Thank you!

JenniferTheFirst [2008-09-21 22:30:46 +0000 UTC]
Wow, this is amazing. So much detail! And great concept - with the splitting of it. I'm highly impressed. Also, I love how Two-Face is the center of this.

ColonelFitz In reply to JenniferTheFirst [2008-09-22 00:00:15 +0000 UTC]
Thank you Jennifer!
The Joker was definitely brilliant in the Dark Knight, but I really think that Two Face deserves more attention than he gets.

JenniferTheFirst In reply to ColonelFitz [2008-09-22 00:02:08 +0000 UTC]
I thought everything about TDK was just about perfect. And yes, I agree. I'm glad you took that unique approach by centering Two-Face. He was quite central, but seems to get pushed aside a bit.

Good job! working something like that on a big scale is hard work! I like it!

ColonelFitz In reply to anno234 [2008-09-21 23:59:10 +0000 UTC]
Thanks!
And yes it is. Large-scale drawings need large paper. And large scale paper takes forever to draw on. Coloring that black side...

You have quite a bit of talent. I wish I could draw.
I thought Gotham was a mix of Hong Kong and Chicago? I might be wrong.

ColonelFitz In reply to pseudometry [2008-09-21 21:20:07 +0000 UTC]
Thank you! I'm sure you could if you practiced. After all, I just picked it up at the beginning of this year.
It should be, but I ended up just using a picture of the Hong Kong skyline to loosely base my Gotham off of.

pseudometry In reply to ColonelFitz [2008-09-21 21:27:18 +0000 UTC]
I'm not so sure. I can't rule straight lines or do symmetry. I don't know why. Everything comes out... asymmetrical and bent. lol.
Well it looks good, I think the concept of light vs. dark works well too.

Haha. Lines are probably the hardest part. Takes me forever.
Thanks, Jamie.
