Batman Classic - Full Character Modeling Process Time-Lapse
This is my personal take on the caped crusader, taking inspiration from the Year One graphic novel and Arkham Asylum video game. The main features are: black and gray color scheme, simple cowl features and realistic materials.

This is the way I make many of my models, but there are certainly other ways to do this. Leave a comment if there's something you want me to make a video about, and I'll see what I can do.
I started this project almost a year ago and dropped it for other "side projects", but after getting a new PC, and feeling motivated, I picked it back up. Luckily I had recorded the whole process and still had all of the files. I can finally put this one to rest and possibly find some use for this new model...
