B:TB&tB episode 15 "Trials of the Demon!" Directed by Micheal Chang.
As soon as we started this episode, the Hammer horror films of the 60's and 70's were mentioned as a possible source of inspiration. I looked at a few of those as well as Francis Ford Coppola's 1992 film "Dracula". What I wanted to do with this episode is to start off with a pallet that would give the feeling of a cold damp London and slowly bring in more color as the episode progressed. As you can see in the interior of the windmill background, I added an emerald green moon lit sky as the rain clouds part. I wanted to have a drastic shift in the color when we end up in the underworld. Around that time, I was watching the "Coffin Joe" movies "At Midnight I'll Take Your Soul" and "This Night I Will Possess Your Corpse". "This Night I Will Possess Your Corpse" is mostly in black and white, but right in the middle of the film, the Coffin Joe character ends up in Hades and all of a sudden the film is in vibrant color. That's kind of what I was going for here. Looking at these backgrounds now, I kind of wish I went a little more cold and monochromatic in the London backgrounds so the underworld backgrounds would "pop" even more when you got to that scene. Oh well, live and learn.

This is the "Batman: The Brave and the Bold" background paint blog. I will be posting at least one background painting I did for each episode of the series in chronological order.
