I know this might sound weird but I personally am not looking at this as a money maker. Of course there will be money involved but its more about doing something for the forum. Im not worried about recouping my costs for the material as i already have them and they have been paid for from previous sales so they owe me nothing. The point for this whole exercise is to let one of the forum members design a cowl they have always wanted to see and have that design made. The prize is basically a free commision. If anyone then wants one of the cowls then of course they can but it will be exclusive to this forum. we have 2 weeks today till this closes and so far we have had some really good designs, get your thinking caps on and get some more designs upnondisclosed_email@example.com (Daft Vader)Fri, 17 Jul 2009 05:39:19 +0000 Re: Custom "The Cave" Cowl?https://bthecave.runboard.com/p3060,from=rss#post3060https://bthecave.runboard.com/p3060,from=rss#post3060hate that last one, the owl man version of the cowl LOL I think if you want to look at it from a interest level you will find the demand for this cowl to be higher then anything else after the game comes out in a month, that is what I would move towards, since you'll need to trade away at least 12 of these to make it worth your time and money spent on materials here is the original artwork for the game nondisclosed_email@example.com (resinsamurai)Thu, 16 Jul 2009 20:43:22 +0000 Re: Custom "The Cave" Cowl?https://bthecave.runboard.com/p3019,from=rss#post3019https://bthecave.runboard.com/p3019,from=rss#post3019Recalls artwork a fan made as a proposed Begins cowl. nondisclosed_email@example.com (Apocalypton)Wed, 15 Jul 2009 14:52:33 +0000 Re: Custom "The Cave" Cowl?https://bthecave.runboard.com/p3015,from=rss#post3015https://bthecave.runboard.com/p3015,from=rss#post3015in the interests on moving this along, here is a quick sketch of one of my ideas just for a bit of inspiration nondisclosed_email@example.com (Daft Vader)Wed, 15 Jul 2009 12:13:23 +0000 Re: Custom "The Cave" Cowl?https://bthecave.runboard.com/p3009,from=rss#post3009https://bthecave.runboard.com/p3009,from=rss#post3009quote:Apocalypton wrote: It looks like good and exciting entries are happening, and thanks for including me as a judge.

Got a few more ideas, but I dont want to saturate the contest with simple 'ideas' just because you get better odds with more entires. Actually, I'm going to remove the one above the helmet, dont feel there's anything special to it... Post something, loving the entries so far. I'd really like to see more. EDIT: I did draw up a larger, slightly cleaner image of my above cowl design. Did a slightly better job on the eyes, etc.. hopefully this one details the cowl better than the grainy version above. It's the same cowl design. nondisclosed_email@example.com (PunisherNC)Fri, 10 Jul 2009 06:14:18 +0000 Re: Custom "The Cave" Cowl?https://bthecave.runboard.com/p2857,from=rss#post2857https://bthecave.runboard.com/p2857,from=rss#post2857so far I've gotta say that Punisher's latest design, the helmet one, is by far my favorite. That thing is badass. TDK functionality with comic styling = very sleek. But when you submit 1,000 entries, 1 of them is gonna be tops, lol, just playing man.

I meant to use more angled eyes on this next cowl... a more helmet styled approach. When i traced over the eyes from pencil to ink pen, my girls were bouncing around the couch and screwed up my lines, but you get the idea. hahaha. Figured a neoprene neck under the armor, or a stormtrooper like next under the armor would give the 'Dark Knight' style flexibility, but be its own unique design. Sorry for the crappy pic... can take another if need be.

Im currently in spain on a little holiday but i thought id just drop in and have a looksee. some good stuff coming through guys. PunisherNC is right, the whole point is to design your own cowl, not point to a comic and go "that one". This isnt aimed at anyone but maybe i should have been clearer to start with. Its a unique opportunity for YOU to get what YOU think looks right, not what a paid comic book artist does, I think you guys will put more effort into it as you all have a genuine love for the character. keep em coming guysnondisclosed_email@example.com (Daft Vader)Mon, 06 Jul 2009 05:06:59 +0000 Re: Custom "The Cave" Cowl?https://bthecave.runboard.com/p2693,from=rss#post2693https://bthecave.runboard.com/p2693,from=rss#post2693both of those are sick mannondisclosed_email@example.com (BaronVonNoah)Fri, 03 Jul 2009 14:58:15 +0000 Re: Custom "The Cave" Cowl?https://bthecave.runboard.com/p2673,from=rss#post2673https://bthecave.runboard.com/p2673,from=rss#post2673here's two I came up with while at work one is just a different take on a classic cowl and the other I added fangs to the cowl making it more bat like. let me know what ya think. click the thumbnail for larger pics. nondisclosed_email@example.com (SuperRyan20)Thu, 02 Jul 2009 21:35:05 +0000 Re: Custom "The Cave" Cowl?https://bthecave.runboard.com/p2650,from=rss#post2650https://bthecave.runboard.com/p2650,from=rss#post2650Hahaha, very good points. Even if its something completely original, there are going to be details that look similar enough to someone's rendition at some point over the last 70+ years. That being the case, I've got one more page (2 more cowl designs) and I'll let more folks chime in with entires. Been a slow day at work and had a chance to sketch a bit. Unfortunately, I dont have a scanner here at work, but if anyone can receive faxes, and can post it up, I'd be more than willing to fax it. nondisclosed_email@example.com (PunisherNC)Thu, 02 Jul 2009 09:31:10 +0000 Re: Custom "The Cave" Cowl?https://bthecave.runboard.com/p2647,from=rss#post2647https://bthecave.runboard.com/p2647,from=rss#post2647Oh I know...didn't take it negatively or anything! I would like to see the best overall cowl win the contest, whether it be artist influenced, movie influenced, etc. Everything is going to be influenced by something, it's hard to be 100% original since a lot has been done with this character!

I know I mentioned that I love the Bermejo cowl, but that comment wasnt directly for you. I meant it as a public comment.

If you look at the Ulitmates Batman cowl that UD did it just doesn't go well when brought off the page and into clay. The Lee B style is not far off from that and would suffer the same loss.
