A Game of Bats and Balls

I love baseball.  This is a nod to the old days I never saw.  The stadium is mostly based on the old Polo Grounds, but there's a bit of Ebbet's Field in there too.  The player isn't anyone specific - the 57 on his uniform is for the last year the Giants played in New York before moving to San Francisco.

A close up.

Some thumbnails.  I played with the idea of it raining for a bit.

Some color studies.  There were more of these, but I seemed to have deleted them. Whoops!

And the final drawing before coloring.

Also, I'm a feature illustrator on the awesome Illustration Mundo this week. Awesome!
