Hey guys, here's my drawing of the day.

And it is another one of my favorite Batman: The Brave and the Bold villains, Jim Craddock, alias the Gentleman Ghost.

I always found him very cool, both his design and magical abilities, and just loved the fact that Batman has an enemy who's a ghost.

James Craddock was a highly successfully criminal highwayman of the 19th Century. And thanks to his wit and marksmanship, he eluded the London's police for a long time. But Craddock kept one ability secret in that time, thanks to his fear of death he started to study the art of magic. In his quest for immortality he came in contact with the imprisoned Demon Asteroth. Both villains struck a deal - if Craddock would provide Asteroth with ten souls the Demon would grant him immortality.

Aided by Wagner's Horn, Craddock rode around London picking up unsuspecting women from the street stealing their souls in the process and framing the only known magic expert in the city, Jason Blood. While Craddock was able to collect his ten souls it did not happen without difficulty. His act caused him to have three heros right on his tail: Jason Blood's alter ego Etrigan, a bat costumed stranger that claimed Craddock would be a ghost in the future, and the highly acclaimed detective Sherlock Holmes. Craddock proved to be more than a match for the trio on several occasions. Holmes served to be the tenth soul. In return Asteroth seemed to fulfill his deal of the bargain.

Despite feeling renewed and stronger than ever, Craddock was still captured and arrested. He was soon hanged after a long trial. Unable to die, Craddock had risen from the grave pledging revenge on the city and the masked stranger he believed caused him to be this way: Batman.

I did not use a tutorial for this one, only a screenshot for reference.

So what do you think?
