Description

I usually don't double-dip on commissions from the same artist. But made an exception in this case. Why would I get another DKR commission from Chris Stevens, when I already have one I love? Because he wanted to experiment with screen tones, so it's a different "flavor" from the one I already have. We collectors can rationalize like no other! Anyway, this is actually from a few years ago. Chris has since used screen tones here and there...but this is where it all began for him! We're both quite happy with how this turned out!

Fun piece!  Love the three-dimensionality of the figures and their encore appearance in the background

Screentones! Beautiful montage of DKR imagery. Wallpower?

Look out, 'cause that screentone's on
And you don't know hatching it
Watch out, or it's Stevens doing Miller
The experiment conquered
Right now, before list much too late
Before commission wait

A Dark Knight, a darkness that's returning
A Dark Knight, the devil gets his due
A Dark Knight is everywhere descending
A Dark Knight and Robin for Lu

Now look up, well, the lines are black
And they're gaining flavor all the time
Watch out, for the Chris that you believe in
Board's going to be attacked
And you double dash dip it
Wise up, you better hatch your step
You better hatch your step

Exceptional work by Chris. He packed so many memorable scenes and poses from DKR into this piece.

If the dip is good enough why not have a few more chips!!?? This is an eye popping show stopping DKR homage piece. Each section of the piece has such great definition and clarity. This feels like a true DKR "movie poster" over anything they did with the animated adaptation's key art. Such an awesome piece, congrats!

A master. A very justified rationalization, Felix. Incredible piece.

Just when I begin to think that there are new takes to be done on DKR, this pops up. Love everything about this piece. Chris Stevens killed it.
