Batman tattoo design needs that "special something"

#21

I can see this having a real nice flow to if done right.

I agree with JacO. While the layout is cool and good for a vertical tattoo, it doesn’t really convey the feel and mythos of Batman.

I added more bats to the last idea to make it look more like the cape was turning into bats. However, I realized that part of the problem is that the cape is lying static in this one - there’s no motion to it, which is why the it turning into bats is not as dramatic looking.

JacO, I understand what you’re saying about having him look sideways, but after making him face forward, I really like that more - I think it adds more to the tension. Also, I think having the bats go down will look odd since bats would normally be flying above him (or at least at his height). I actually did try something similar to what you’re talking about though - making his cape flow down and then curve back up, with the bats flying out of the part that curved back up. I was trying to design it a bit in the shape of a treble clef (music is another of my passions), but it just ended up looking weird - too many changes in direction/flow.

Here’s another idea - this is more symbolic than realistic. I think it’s cool that it has the bat logo incorporated into it, but it doesn’t really have the sense of drama/action/tension the others have.

Ok, another new idea - not very original, but it has the vertical design going for it, and I like the way the bats are done better in this than the last one. Has the same layout as Architectus’ idea, but it’s more batman like.
