Gotham City Concept Art Painting
Welcome fellow Batman fans to another edition of Caped Crusades’ Batman fan art of the day! Today I bring you a beautiful Gotham City concept art painting from the mind of artist Aaron Wong, whose art I have featured here twice before on Caped Crusades. In fact the very first piece of Batman fan art I ever wrote about for Caped Crusades was a gorgeous painting of Nolan’s Batman by Aaron. I absolutely love Aaron’s art, he just has a way with light and shading that makes his work breath taking. Here is Aaron’s own description of his Gotham City painting, which he posted to his deviant page:

"this is my final project for my light and mood class in college in third year. the task was to paint or draw a city or scenery with outstanding light and mood and gd composition. and here is the Gotham city from my imagination.I used some references for some of the buildings but not all. I imagined the train and all. I imagined Batman who is standing in the middle looking down to the whole Gotham city in the evening sky. the buildings are a bit inspired by Catholic church designs with sharp pointy roofs.this was painted with designer’s goauche on A3 sized illustration board. took me some time to do research and the painting time was quite fast. around 4 to 6 hours maybe? its something like a concept art like those visuals that artists do before they shoot a scene in a movie and they will present it to the director. so hopefully I might get to do something like that next time."
Gotham City has always been an interesting subject for artists to work with, whether it be in art like this, animation, or in movies, because it is such an iconic city and yet at the same time it’s design is largely open to interpretation. I love seeing a fellow Batman fan’s interpretation of Gotham, it’s always intriguing. See more of Aaron Wong’s art on his website here, and on his deviant page.
