Comic Book Art Thread - Two Face (join in the fun!)

I thought it’d be fun to bounce between heroes and villains with these threads, and what better way to make that transition than with the man that mentally and physically walks a fine line between the two. Harvey Dent/Two-Face.

Here are a few fine examples of this complex character to get the ball rolling.

SEAN PHILLIPS

TIM SALE

DAVID PETERSEN

LEE BERMEJO

SIMONE BIANCHI

I can’t wait to see what crazy interpretations we’re going to see this week!

ps. Remember that, as we’re drawing characters created and owned by other people, we need to make sure we don’t make these image available for sale :-) Thanks!

I’m not sure if you’re purposefully making these as difficult as possible, but I thank you for it :)

Man, I haven’t even read one comic with Two Face in it, being a Marvel kid in the most part. I’ll just have to draw all my inspiration from Tommy Lee Jones’ portrayal of the character.

There are some killer Two-Face stories. If you get a chance you should check out Batman: Jekyll and Hyde which features art by Jae Lee and Sean Phillips, it’s outstanding. Same goes for The Long Halloween, featuring wonderful Tim Sale artwork.

@Mike, it’s funny, the Marvel comics were the only ones I didn’t go near at the comic book store. But I suspect that’s probably because I didn’t start getting into comics until I was about 20, and I think the Marvel stuff is aimed at a lower age bracket ? It seemed that way to me anyway.

The Long Halloween, Dark Victory and Haunted Knight are the only three Batman graphic novels I own (and I love Batman). Basically I would buy anything with Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale involved.

OctoChimp:
I used to make a lot of distinctions between the two. The differences have changed over the years but the one that attracted me the most at the time was that, to me, DC characters had more to do with mysticism or fantasy and Marvel had a more sci-fi kind of feel. Marvel had mutants, radioactive monsters, men in cybernetic suits and genetically enhanced soldiers (try to ignore Thor and stupid Asgard). Marvel characters seemed more grounded and realistic. However as I’ve matured I’ve seen marvel become a little melodramatic. Many of my favourite titles have lost their sci-fi feel and taken on mystic qualities. The Ultimate universe is the last refuge for consistently realistic and credible stories and characters.

But like I say; I’ve read precious little DC comics so I can’t make a sufficiently informed comparison.

Well, as Matthew knows, I wasn’t going to release my personal project just yet but since the oppitunity has presented itself… I present my take on Harvey Dent:

This painting is 1 in 25 of my personal project called Gotham’s Rogue Gallery and at present, I am half way through and its taken me about 8 months to get to that point. I do look forward to showing the set.

Anyway, Frank Miller’s Batman Graphic Novels were amazing and having Harvey Dent healed in the first one was cool. Also, in the Hush comics, he is healed but takes on a different tact than what he did in the Frank Miller graffy.

I’ve never heard of Simone Bianchi – she’s brilliant! I’m going to have to find some of her work.

Here’s my take on TwoFace:

Good to see people kicking in fast.

Simone’s actually a guy, had a pretty cool run on Wolverine and Astonishing X-Men, crazy stuff.
