Artist's Comments

I saw Heart of Ice when I was a kid. One of the finest episodes of Batman the Animated Series ever. I fell in love with Mr. Freeze from that point on. I've seen him universally portrayed as a tall super thin guy, but I figured, someone who's body has basically taken on characteristics of ice would have an insanely slow metabolism. So I figure he maybe feeds once every month, but maintains a chunky shape, to some degree. I rarely ever draw or paint fan art, but I think I'll definitely consider this of the same ilk.

Here he is with his iron lung like suit, that sustains his unbelievably cold standard body temperature. He'd sweat to death as if in a desert even in the frozen north of the Arctic. His two bears are named Frigidaire, and Icetrey.

This is part of the Sony concept team's weekly self challenge over at: [link]

Definitely make it a regular visit you guys. The fellows I work with at Sony Santa Monica are all Kings.

Lots of raw internet photos were used to expedite the process in a concept art fashion. So it is essentially a paint-over of a collage. Look up standing or sleeping polar bear, and I'm sure you'll find the guys I used for these.

'Heart of Ice' was the one where Batman beat him with a flask of chicken soup, right? :)

I really like the highlights on the face.
I've always liked the idea that Mr. Freeze will only eat ice cream or ice lollies.
:iconariokh:
Hahaha.... Yes! That's the one! It also explains how he became such a tragic villain, but the chicken soup is aces!

In the story the character has a wife who is a ballerina, who died. She is symbolized by a snow globe with a ballerina in it. You should REALLY see the ep. It's brilliant, won awards and all that shite.

I love the atmosphere you created there.
Like a maelstrom.
And the texture is brilliant. I'll never get to paint like this.
Thanks for sharing.
Really enjoyed this work.

Polar bears! O__O I love polar bears soo much, even though I know they'd eat me if I tried to hug them.
Impressive piece of art ofcourse, all the colours really make up for a great mood and feeling of dark and cold.
