Batman: Mr. Freeze Art by Nicholas Straight

     My BFF and artist extraordinaire Nick over at Drawmit made me a sweet Mr. Freeze picture as a thank you card of sorts.  Quite excellent work, he loosely based the look on the lead from Stalker, the film by Andrei Tarkovsky that is loosely, I repeat loosely based on the short novel Roadside Picnic by Boris and Arkady Strugatsky.  (They wrote both the book and the screenplay)
     I would highly recommend both the book and the film.  They're wonderful.


     I think this Mr. Freeze retroactively influenced the design of the Engineers in Prometheus.  Also, the cowl shadow on the neck piece was a great touch.  Well, done and thank you Nick!  Another Mr. Freeze item to add to the collection.
