WigglyPaint Meets Batman

I recently shared some art I drew of Batman in the style of Goya’s Saturn Devouring His Son. In that post, I shared two different drawings I made based on that concept. Well, now I’ve got a third.

I’ve been playing around with a few WigglyPaint clones lately and decided to try drawing this Batman piece using one of them. Here’s the result.

This drawing is a reference to "Saturn Devouring His Son", a famous painting by Francisco Goya. This version shows a large version of Batman, hunched over and eating Robin. Batman is holding a small version of Robin in his hands and biting on Robin's arm. The art is digital and looks retro, as if it was drawn in MS Paint. It has a light animation, and blood spurting out from Robin's arm (where Batman is biting).

WigglyPaint is a digital drawing app that embraces an old-school MS Paint aesthetic, but adds lines that wobble around in interesting ways. The original version of WigglyPaint is here, but there are a few cheap knockoffs that I actually kind of prefer.

I call them “cheap” because they’re total ripoffs of both the visual style and the literal name of the original WigglyPaint app. They’re good, but I’m not going to link to them until they do a little rebranding and, you know, come up with their own name.

Inspired by HBO’s Lanterns show, I also drew Green Lantern in this wiggly style.

A drawing of the DC character named John Stewart, who was one of the Green Lanterns. He’s floating in the air, in skin tight superhero suit with black and green. He has a glowing green ring on his fist.

Again, many of the knock offs are great, but fuck ’em if they are just stealing someone else’s name to promote their apps.
