Description
My magnum opus at Deviant Art is the Footman & York comic series. It features my eponymous Second Life character and her young friend Penny, the Second Life character of EnglishDamsel. I was messing around the last couple of days and came up with this story teaser where Molly and Penny assume the guise of Batman and Robin (I might say Batman has never looked more appealing). Of course, they will get into a lot of trouble and peril and I was inspired by the Batman serials from the 40's. I may not do more than this cover test image but thought I'd see what people thought.
Molly's art notes: This was set up and rendered using Poser 12.0.757, tweaked in Photoshop and mounted as a comic book cover using Comic Life 3.5.20. Molly and Penny are both based on Victoria 4 and their costumes are bits and bobs from ShareCG by Joe Quick and Terrymcg with modifications by yours truly. The background picture is part of the website https://www.comicbookherald.com/complete-robin-comics-reading-order/
This is fanart, much like cosplay, and I am not making/taking a penny for it; it is homage. I am grateful to the creators of Batman and Robin who are owned by DC comics and Warner entertainment. I enjoyed late Golden Age and Silver Age comics with these characters and recommend them to you.

Now that's a Batman series I'd watch!! Or read :-) What a fun tribute to you and your friend's SL characters as well as to a classic comics duo!!
Thanks, Amy. I just heard from Penny and she's pleased with it, too, and hoping for more detective adventures. Of course, I should really finish the first one I started which is running to near 200 pages at this point. XD
Molly
Love the title of your mock comics magazine issue. Enjoy your version of the Heroes we grew up with.
Caped Crusader's!!
Heh. Thanks, I love this kind of stuff. Over at Deviant Art I have 3 complete and one incomplete issue of this comic title featuring the lady detectives. Teaser covers like this are one of the best things about doing these. XD
Molly
Amazing results with this fine example! I am pleased as punch at the results! Many many fine kudos from me!!!!!
Thank you, Rad! I enjoy this sort of thing as you may have guessed and am pleased to find you enjoying it too! =)
Molly
Fantastic work! I glad to see you posting!
Thank you, CD! I had been travelling and was limited by motel wifi and my laptop but I hope to get caught up with things and post a bit more. It pleases me to know you'll be watching! =)
Molly
Very very cool!
Thank you, Annie! I've got like a dozen different series and stories going so why not one more! XD

Delightful composition, brilliant render. Interesting Batman doesn't look like Robin but Robin looks very much alike Molly.😊
Superb comics, brilliant awesome render. Exquisite Artwork. I love it!
Glad you enjoyed it, Marius. These characters (Footman & York) and the characters they are dressed as (Batman & Robin) are all favorites of mine.
Molly
this is adorable!!!
I love all these characters (Footman and York, the detectives) and Batman and Robin. XD I'm glad you enjoyed the picture, my dear! <3

I'd rather follow yours than current DC stufff...:)
Heh. Well, I've tried reading some of the post modern comic stories and they are kind of "angsty" for my taste. Stuff from the Golden and Silver Age (basically my childhood; dang, I still love the TV program "The Adventures of Superman" with George Reeves) still pleases me best and my silly stories are pretty much no heftier than that. Do what pleases you, right? =)

Great job....
I met Adam West once as a child... he was staying in the same hotel as us and fell down the stairs - holy ankle sprain batman! My mom was the only doctor on the scene so she patched him up. My brother still has his autograph somewhere...
In defence of some of the later batperson creations, both Frank Miller and Brian Bolland are masters of layout (and have influenced Skytown in that regard)...
Heh. You got me with Frank Miller... as Post Modern graphic story tellers go, he is brilliant. I'm putting Brian Bolland on my list, now. Thanks, Joe, for commenting and for sharing a fun story! <3
