Description Since I aim to please, here's my take on Batman's deadliest foe, the Joker.

This is a bit of a departure for me though. I'm used to doing stuff a little more upbeat.

....well, I suppose this is kind of upbeat.

This must be one of the best Joker pics I've ever seen. He's so... "jolly"

Your drawing style really becomes him.

nice! and hey, at least you didn't use the "why so serious" line that just about every recent friggin' joker artwork has! Besides, I think the Joker's maniacal laughter is his most memorable trait!

SuperBunnyBun In reply to kevinbolk [2008-09-21 19:28:04 +0000 UTC]

Beforehand he did The Trickster on the old The Flash live-action show, and had a similar laugh. I always wondered why that pair never teamed up. just imagine the antics, the comedy, the obscure ways of mass slaughter.

He also did the Trickster in Justice League Unlimited. I just about crapped my pants when I saw that.

Exactly! I love that about him. His whole character is so unique. And I think that whole jester/murder thing makes a really great horror combination.

ShaneJensenToons In reply to Ploppers [2008-09-21 01:24:14 +0000 UTC]

You've said it.

I don't think anything can top Heath Ledger's performance. That 'disappearing pencil trick' was truly something.
