Today I had the pleasure to communicate with him, lol he still has the same antisocial approach. I dont think he means to come off as a rude person, I think that is his persona. Maybe he hates crowds but he still signs for the fans. 👍🏼 thanks Timm
Lucky. I got to meet him for the 2015 Expo last year. Sadly, there was just two people ahead of me when he announced that he couldn't do any more Batman drawings. However he was more than happy to sign my copy of Mad Love.
I met him when I was 14 I considered him the coolest guy for co creating Btas then I got to talk with him and he was kind of a jerk I felt so empty like never meet your heroes then later that day I met Paul Dini and he was amazing such a kind person over the years I've soften up on Bruce that's just the way he is still a great guy.
mmm dude, he IS an animator, possibly the most influential animator and character designer of this generation and from time to time he also makes comic books. Just because someone is not a full time comic book artist that doesn't mean he's a failed artist. For an art student your critic seems bad formualted and redundant. A lot of successful artist (who are already famous and everything) are kinda assholes or just anti social.
@AlexAV88 Bruce was out of paper, his markers were pretty much empty, and he was very tired. He was asked if the guy got a piece of paper if he could get a sketch.
@LongJonBronze Long John, THATS a response I can appreciate! thank you so much for NOT doing what som many people do, and "blasting me for having an opinion!LOL! you are correct. We can BOTH agree that Bruce is awesome. He certainly has influenced my art tremedously.
At the end of the day this is just MY take on a youtube clip. I could be wrong and reading this wrong. But again, Im arguing from the perspective of a person who draws for a living in public also. Your fans put you where you are. You are enjoying a level of status and income because of them. You need to be disciplined. That goes for Bruce, Me, and anyone else who is a public figure.
@TheSubwaysurfer while i still disagree (slightly with what you said thank you for replying, i can tell you are a smart professional person, but in full honesty i like when big people like Bruce Timm do this, there being real people, but not being mean or selfish, but that's just my opinion, but i think we can both agree that Bruce Timm is awsome
I agree with Subwaysurfer. This guy needs to take a lesson in P.R. Skills (Personal Relations). A smile added with kindness - doesn't take much effort on anyone's behalf.
Why wasn't he just using 'Chartpak' Markers? It would have taken him 1/2 the time! AND they won't run out as quickly. All of his markers were running out left & right. :P
This was also the same convention where my friend and I asked him if we can purchase a sketch from him, and gave us pretty much the same snotty-toned response of: "I have been drawing since this morning and my hand hurts". Imo A simple , "sorry bud I can't do any more sketches for the day", would've suffice . I ended up getting a sketch from dale keown instead who is a super cool dude. Blessing in disguise imo.
@LongJonBronze I NEVER said he was a DOUCH, nor is that a term I'd apply to ANYONE it's insulting and unnecessary a.. If you are a public figure, you need to be careful and realize you are always being watched and evaluated on some level. Im a professional artist myself and so I know what Tim is going through better than most. But its because I HAVE been there myself that im arguing from an INFORMED perspective. if you're person number one, or one thousand it makes no difference.
Bruce is using cheap markers! LOL! a sharpie and a el mark, looks like. no disrespect to Tim, he's a fantastic artist, and having been where he is on that side of the table, I understand being tired, but when your fans stand in lines hours just to get something from you that costs a lot, you need to flash that smile, and kick up the enthusiasm. You are where you are BECAUSE of the fans. PERIOD.
I am an art student pursuing my goal of being a comic book artist. He is an artist who does in fact get paid to draw superheroes but when his style is better in animated features then your an animator not a comic book artist. Also when to succeed as an artist your only hope is to attract someone's attention to buy your work if you can't be friendly and a people person then how are you going to approach selling work to people? Hence the term failed artist. The only comics i see his in are kids

For a guy so tired I think hes behaving very well. Hes just laid back.
Man I would be stressed too if I had to draw the same picture for half a day straight for fans
No Name yup same I know how Mr Timm feels
I've never really seen Bruce Timm being legitimately happy lol
though I have a feeling the only time he IS is when he is drawing one of his pinups =P
Today I had the pleasure to communicate with him, lol he still has the same antisocial approach. I dont think he means to come off as a rude person, I think that is his persona. Maybe he hates crowds but he still signs for the fans. 👍🏼 thanks Timm
Update note: he was on that natural mood of his when I talked to him yesterday lol
did you know he's entirely self tought
No
My favorite artist of all time ♥
His artstyle is so good.
3:52 -the face of a man who has drawn Batman all. Day. Long. :P
Seriously though, just phenomenal.
Timm looks like he has a beef with someone.
Yeah, he does sound a bit irritated and tired, but who wouldn't be after sitting in an environment like that for hours on end?
Hope not with you, lord Vader.
Hope you got it framed! Poor guy was stressed out. But still cranked out an awesome piece!! Cool person if you ask me!

I was able to get one of the last drawings he did for the day.
I was there one of those days
I met him when I was 14 I considered him the coolest guy for co creating Btas then I got to talk with him and he was kind of a jerk I felt so empty like never meet your heroes then later that day I met Paul Dini and he was amazing such a kind person over the years I've soften up on Bruce that's just the way he is still a great guy.
Awesome! Thanks. I really want a sketch from him. He's one of the reasons I'm getting into Animation as a job.
mmm dude, he IS an animator, possibly the most influential animator and character designer of this generation and from time to time he also makes comic books.

And what have you done lately that? I love how those who seems to criticize the most have no talent themselves.
Matt yea mate
Bruce Timm's a God!!!
Guy: "Hey Bruce, can I get a piece of paper just to sketch on?"
Bruce: "...FUCK OFF"
Guy: ????
Future TH-camrs: O_O
If I was getting fifty a sketch, I would NEVER need a break, LOL! That's why when I do a job, I keep drawing! LOL! see more at subwaysurferDOTcom

@LongJonBronze thanks for the comment its been great having this little chat, you've earned a subscription
@NUKEBOOSTER94 lol he smiled a bit. This was taken on the Sunday, so he had been drawing for a day and a half. poor guy was exhausted.
@LongJonBronze Long John, THATS a response I can appreciate! thank you so much for NOT doing what som many people do, and "blasting me for having an opinion!LOL! you are correct. We can BOTH agree that Bruce is awesome. He certainly has influenced my art tremedously.
He doesn't look like he's enjoying that at all.......
@Eszlee1 Not sure. He was just using whatever the volunteers at the expo were bringing him.
@maverikvii The sketch cost me $50usd. Bring lots of money, and get there early! And I mean EEAARRLLYY!!
i for one get extremely pissed when i run out of black marker.
@cab00se447 oh ok! thanks for the answer and the video, i was searching a vid of timm drawing batman since forever!

so perfect!
Question: How much did it cost for the batman commissioned pic? Cuz he's coming to Seattle and I'd like to get a pic by him.

@dbzfanattack1 He's erasing all the pencil lines so that all you see are the black marker.

In what way is it snotty? At conventions, these guys’d are drawing for people all day, it’s not like he’s lying.
@@Nothin_g-k5t It's because he got his feelings hurt
@TheSubwaysurfer: totally agreed!

He uses a chisel tip marker. Huh interesting.
its sweet and awesome but everytime i see a picture of tim i think does he smile??
what does the guy ask at 1:10 ? cause the question made timm upset, as i can see
@LongJonBronze That wouldn't surprise me
@2ndXary As do I... If I drew I mean I would...

@TheSubwaysurfer nah i disagree he deserves to be trired and he wasnt a douch about it he was fair
He doesn't look very happy.
