November 2016 - Flashpoint Thomas Wayne Batman
After being hugely requested by the online community that Jeffrey Dean Morgan should play Thomas Wayne/Batman in an upcoming "Flashpoint" adaptation, I felt it would be a brilliant casting decision made by Warner Brothers and decided to conceptualize what that may Look like.
Using Ben Affleck's Batman as a base mesh, I began to tweak and modify parts of the cowl during the design process to make it take on a life of its own.
The Final Image. After exploring the use of black and white, and how red light would react to FX smoke, this was the final image.
Halfway through the design process, before any filters/text was applied.
Cropped detail view of the glowing eye and how it reacts to the smoke. I used multiple layers with different blending styles, such as multiply, colour and darken - all at different opacity levels.
