THIS.
Took forever to finish. >.<

*This* was my first ever doodle of Dick AND of Bat. I worked on and off on it for a long while, but I was never satisfied with the details.

What I do like in this one, is the symbolism. Dick’s shadow is Batman’s shadow because Dick lives in that shadow. He thrived in it. The bat is what Nightwing’s destined to become (and later became, when Bruce was misplaced in time). But I chose to draw the shadow back-to-back with Dick, because Batman isn’t merely a dark shadow looming behind Dick. He’s someone that’s always been at his back - fighting back to back with him.

Okay, guys.

See this?

THIS is how Nightwing should be drawn. Always. Like this. Exactly. It is perfect. The hair, the body type (on the smaller and slimmer side of the superhero scale), the skintone (THIS is what I’m talking about when I say Dick should be a bit darker than the rest of the Batboys, except Damian), the twirling escrima sticks, the facial features… This is, pretty much, exactly how I picture Dick Grayson looking.

Also, I love the symbolism of this piece, with Dick literally standing in The Batman’s shadow.

But why focus on symbolism when there is hotness to be looked at? (I am seriously loving doing this spam. It is giving me such an excuse to be shallow, and even more fangirly and frivolous than usual. XD)
