about_faces: (Reading the Newspaper)
Comic artist Dustin Nguyen has put out a piece so awesome, I wanted to give it its own post. But before I do that, I think it would behoove me to give a quick rundown of Nguyen's various Two-Face drawings, all of which I've found at his DeviantArt account.

The thing I find neat about Nguyen's Two-Face drawings is that no two are really alike. He always does something distinctly different with each version, and they're all very cool in their own way.

The many different takes on Two-Face by Dustin Nguyen, offered with little commentary, because I'm in a rush )

Dustin Nguyen's cover from the upcoming Batman 80-Page Giant:



Can I just gave Nguyen paint a whole series about the Bat-Rogues? Please? Oh please?

I mean, I have my nitpicks. His Joker needs something a bit... more. He just looks like a guy grinning. And I don't know why Nguyen and others draw the Penguin with a tiny nose. I mean, seriously, if there's anything that's penguin about Ozzie, it's that. Also, I resent even Hush's eye being included in that roster.

But all in all, I absolutely adore this piece. Nguyen's clearly inspired by Batman: The Animated Series, and thus he takes those influences and employs them splendidly with comic versions of characters like Freeze and Croc (who I strongly feel should look like that all the time).

And, more to the point of me posting this here at all... I love his Harvey. I actually wrote a whole thing about why, but Firefox ate it, so whatever. I'll just let it speak for itself in this case.
