From the Vaults 1: Batman Vs. Dracula
I don't post enough art on this blog, so as I'm going through my stash of pix for the gallery section that I'm slowly building, I'll post stuff in here as I go.
Some of it's pretty old, but whateva! Something is better than nothing!
Below is the original art that the WB home video division created for the Batman vs. Dracula DTV. Jeff Matsuda and I were not totally happy with the art, so Jeff redrew it and I painted all the foreground elements.
Just to be clear: Jeff and I did not do this first image. I'm not sure who did.
Here's the first pass at the cover Jeff and I did.
But the WB found the pose for Dracula too threatening, so we candied up his hands and closed his mouth. Ah well.
Anyway, at the end it was a bit of a coup. Normally the art dept. on a show has nothing to do with the box art. We were pretty happy to get involved.
Also: It's hard to make out in the printed version, but I worked Jeff's and my name into two of the tombstones.
