Cool Art: 'Gotham City Sirens' by Alex Garner

'Gotham City Sirens' by Alex Garner.

This was a limited edition print made for this year's San Diego Comic Con.

"I was originally going to incorporate traditionally inked line-work into this but, due to time constraints, I was forced to fall back to my typical digital methods. 

I found myself staring at a lot of Adam Hughes' gorgeous art while looking for costume reference because, well, he's just an incredible talent and no one else on the planet depicts these three characters better. So yes, his work influenced me a lot here. Consciously and subconsciously. Thanks for the inspiration Adam."
