BATS!
here's a new illustration for an article in the las vegas weekly on a book called holidays are hell. it's got bats in it, so i decided to do a little pencil sketch of batman too! ...not that it ever takes much to convince me to draw batman.

um, if that rudolph bat had burst into the window instead of the one that did, maybe bats & the joker would be...team-mates?!?!

It's a pity it is so small on the site!
I can honestly say I never thought about bats pulling a sleigh before!
Very nice!

O HAI. I like your batman. He's really human, rather than iconic, but in the best way.

Oh, my God, the RED-NOSED RUDOLPH BAT. How are your bats so utterly adorable and creepy at the same time!

And behold Batman! Is he climbing out of the sewers something?

Those bats are fantastic! They look like something that calamityjon's lil batman would have around for the holidays. And Rudolph the red-nosed reign-bat is the bestest bat of them all!

The reindeer-bats are adorable! They remind me of that weird sword & sorcery Elseworld in which the Batmobile wass a carriage drawn by bats.

You know, I'm sure this makes more legitimate sense than reindeer carrying the slay, but here we are, and I still don't believe in fairies... I mean, Christmas bats.

*DIES*

WHY MERCIFUL DEITIES DO YOU NOT MAKE HER DRAW THE GODDAMN BATMAN!!!! He's so pretty, detailed, but easy to look at. And the cowl! MY WORD! The ears pop out. :D I'm a billion types of happy now.

X-mas bats? Oh my dear, if you are trying to make livejournal the best distraction ever, you certainly WIN. THE BELLS. THE NOSES! And Santa's completely ecstatic smile? PURE, UNDILUTED LOVE.

*fits of helpless laughter* The bats...the jingle bats...!

Seriously, the only way that illustration could have been better would be if Batman had been driving the sleigh, but I suppose that would have been out of your purview...

Congratulations on the Wonder Woman design, by the way! I was not the least bit surprised to see you there on the winners page with that gorgeous image.

Gah, awesome brush-work on the Bat-wings! I am always stunned by your crazy inking ability.

...

*imagines Batman crawling out of a chimney to say that to Santa*

... Freaky.
