Description

Nir is not someone that was really on my radar before so this isn't a piece I would have ever sought out and definitely NOT a version of Vampire Batman I ever would have requested, but I absolutely love it!

Nir's figure work is so uniquely his. With his strong outlines and precise anatomy.
He then adds detail with lighter lines, dashed lines and what at first look like random swirling lines until you look closer and see they are precisely placed.
The figure is light and open, with the luminance of a Vampire's skin.
Contrasting that is the dark and dense details of his "cape and mask" mixed in with all of the bat insignia and plenty of POWs, BOOMs and vampire's teeth.

Lastly, it's a small detail, but one I think is very telling for an artists.
The straps holding the mask on pull the hair in. If done right, like this, to me shows that Nir was thinking about EVERY detail while working on this piece.


You can spot a Nir Levie piece immediately.



So, this isn't the piece I was looking to get or an interpretation of VAMPIRE BATMAN I had ever considered, but it's easily one of my top 3 sketches in my collection (if you can even call it a sketch)

The casual fan may not understand, but this offbeat piece is very tied to the creator's style to bring the surreal to the familiar.  With an intricate balance of classical figure art and the dense patternwork, Levie works the Batman motif's within as how he sees the Batman story as a Greek tragedy.

Not a true Vamp-Bat...but a very cool interpretation an artist's vision of the Vamp-Bat!
