Well, here he is. the drawing that pretty much started this whole deal(technically), we start with of course the Joker. Oh boy, where do I even start with this one? Well let's start out small and start with the coloring of the character. As you can see, there really isn't much different with the color scheme as a whole, in fact the core color of this Joker drawing has stayed consistent throughout the years. Obviously the colors in the new drawing are of lighter variants, such as Joker's coat being a light purple and his green vest being more refined, and his hair in this drawing just being a slight shade darker. But the one glaring difference is his eye color here. Following the DCAU's example, Joker has retained his red eyes, which looking back at it, it makes me wonder why he had those colored eyes. Maybe it's a side effect of the acid. Now we get to the part where I tear into this "masterpiece". First of all, his head. I always wondered why I always drew characters with massive heads, and I think it's because of this drawing that trait has carried on over the years. After drawing the outline, I couldn't help but burst out in laughter at how large his head was compared to the rest of his body, and it also doesn't help that he essentially has no shoulders to speak of here. Like seriously, why are they so pathetic? There are so many traditional drawings on DeviantArt I have seen are much more refined than what I could come up with during the day. Many had kept the proportions of the body consistent, especially compared to a drawing with tiny ass feet,(with poorly drawn shoes by the way). Another thing I must address are his hands. Now drawing hands is difficult even to this day, I will admit. But these deformed oven mitts are a whole new level of bad. Especially when one of his hands apparently doesn't have a thumb, and another with a nub that barely qualifies as a thumb. Next is the suit itself, Of course the core of the design is still my absolute favorite even back then, but what is up with the coat itself? Coat tails half the length of his legs, a vest which looks like another shirt he just wore under his yellow one, and the flower which looks like a tumor! Finally, we get to his face, as well as hair. His hair looks like a really bad wig which he just picked out of the washer. His smile might have worked for another cartoon, but it so does not fit Batman's world at all. His nose looks like a pencil that has been stepped on and chewed on, and in terms of his eyes, well I had to bend my rule a bit because I tried changing his eyes so many times in the past, I ripped up his face, so I had to go by memory of what I had his eyes look like to begin with. So in conclusion, I do feel proud of myself for really changing Joker over the years until I got to the current design, and I do have to thank this version for it. However, it also makes me feel foolish in my own pride for me to truly believe that this was the golden standard for my art. But you want to know what the worst part it? This isn't even the worst one!

Final rating: 4 out of 10.
