Description This was actually inspired by a Grimm episode. I freakin LOVE that series! The episode was Danse Macabre (Dance of Death) and the song in it really got to me. It's just really catchy to me and after listening to it a few times, I could kinda see Joker (if he ever played violin) playing it. I always saw Joker with a music side (listen to him belt out those tunes to Setting the Woods on Fire!), so I think it'd be reasonable he'd be into playing something like this.

You can't imagine how hard I worked on this... I've never drawn anyone playing the violin before...let alone even draw a violin before. I looked up so many pics to get an idea of poses. I think it really paid off though. I can't draw violins to save my life lol.

Listen to the first minute while looking to get full effect!: [link]

I love listening to classical and macabre music. It's haunting. You'd probably enjoy some of Adrian Von Ziegler's music then

He has all sorts of macabre, celtic, and other similar music

xD you're kind of right. It was sort of a dance.
There was a slow dance, but not when I played this song.

That must've been cool to actually have this song play at a Halloween dance.

Knowing the J-Man, he's very good at playing anything he comes across.

Mysterio-san [2013-03-05 21:44:25 +0000 UTC]

You know, I could totally picture Joker playing the violin to, like, torment Batman with or something.

I really think the effort payed off! This turned out great! ^_^

InkHyaena In reply to Mysterio-san [2013-03-05 21:47:49 +0000 UTC]

I actually thought of that as well when I was inking this. To me, it would probably be a bitter-sweet torture: the beautiful sound of a violin, but if the strings get screeched...

I love it!! I think you inspired me to do a companion photo for this O_O I've never drawn an instrument before either!

InkHyaena In reply to CarnalClown [2013-03-05 18:38:16 +0000 UTC]

I never thought I'd ever find myself drawing an instrument of any kind...but Grimm pushed me into it! And I can't wait to see if you do!

I gotta finish my previous sketch first for you Then I'll consider the instrument for my next one. I'm debating on what one to do though, there's so many! My personal favorite is the Cello, but you've already done a string, so I'm thinking of doing a saxophone or guitar
