Artist's Comments

"Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn."

I finally saw The Dark Knight this summer, an absolutely spectacular film, and I got this idea to draw the Joker while I watched it a second time with Deepsies. I wanted to show his quirky and wild nature while surrounded by chaos. I hope I did him justice! :P
I loved Heath Ledger's make-up in the movie, the grunge-like paint looked great in any condition and I really wanted to keep that kind of grainy dirt in this, so I avoided adding too much detail and tried to keep it a little like an oil painting with lots of texture.

The joker cards and backs were not drawn by me, but I scanned them from a couple of decks I have and individually distorted, burned, ripped, scorched, and lit them to merge with my picture. This was also the first time I've painted fire, which didn't turn out too bad lol! XD

Done for a good friend of mine, Happy Birthday!

Anyway, enjoy Joker fans! <3

NASA spent millions of dollars to create a pen that works in space. Russia used a pencil.
Incidentally, a cheap ballpoint pen works just as well.

What's it like to get a new inspiration?
Me: It's wiggly and a little fluffy.
Okay than...
