Rocksteady 2: Clean-up.

I like my lines like I like my work area and my bed sheets - clean and crisp. I'm not particularly good at clean-up, and certainly not as good as I'd like to be, but I really enjoy this part of the process - I look forward to it even while I'm still working out the rough sketch. That seems odd, since I mentioned before that I sometimes find the sketching process to be stressful. I would imagine that, ordinarily, one would find the clean-up process to be more stressful, simply due to the precision and control required. But most of the time, I have a lot of fun doing it.

Originally, for a split second, I thought about arming Rocksteady with a huge, over-the-top X-Men/Cable kind of weapon, but I quickly decided that an Uzi was more his style. He's definitely an automatic weapon kind of rhino. However, the Uzi was too similar to his head in both size and shape, so I decided a longer rifle would break up the composition better. The version on the right also has on a helmet, but I haven't decided if I like it enough to keep it yet. It goes with the rest of his get-up, but I think it makes him look less menacing, more stupid (but then, that stays true to his character, I suppose).
