Artist's Comments

let's see...
Kyle Abbot ( the bear) was an agent of Ra's Al Ghul & the bodyguard of Whisper A'Daire (the snake woman).
They were created by Greg Rucka for his run in Detective Comics a few years back.
This piece was for a Secret Files, that I was able to pencil & ink while still inking the JSA.
I was just playing with design and style for this one.
The artwork went to Greg in a trade for one of those cute lil' Harley Quinn / Bruce Timm maquettes.

It's impressive how much the final design changed from your rough sketch. It looks very Paul Gulacy-inspired. Not sure if he's someone you look to for inspiration or not, but that's the feeling I get looking at this piece.

Thanx..

the sketch was drawn while speaking to the editor on the phone..
so it was quite rough/basic, and of course elements would be moved around & played with for the finished art.

Now as far as style goes...I look at everything...
so who knows where an influence will pop up..
although I have been a Gulacy fan since I was a kid.
