This week's challenge concluded...
The Batman:
I was toying with two basic directions for Batman here; either put him in the standard leotard, or (something I saw a lot more of in Gorey's art) dress him up in a classy black suit. In the end I decided it would be more interesting to have this particular "costume" be reflective of a rich, aristocratic Bruce Wayne; Batman as a gentleman crime-fighter. It also resembles more closely Gorey's drawings of demons and vampires, things that would inspire fear in the criminals of Gorey's Gotham.

WOW! these are great! I love how faggy Robin looks! very very Gorey! bravo
These are excellent, Batman being my favourite!
Nice work!
Both of them (Batman and Robin) are superb.
The premise of this blog = also superb, I find myself checking it regularly.
Wow Carly! all of these look fantastic!! (especially the Edward Gorey stuff!)
I love the design challenge!!! :)
just brilliant -- i love the Gorey/Batman stuff, the others are excellent as well.
Okay, I'm totally digging your blog, but this one made me **squee** with delight! xox
Is that a gorey illustration (the one with the old man)? from where?
(oh, yah, awesome batman! :D)
The Gorey illustration with the old man isn't a Gorey illustration: it's from Perry Bible Fellowship's Gorey pastiche.
This is very cool! I love all of your mash-ups but I'm a geek for Batman and Gorey both.
