Description I haven't done any Joker/Harley stuff for a while, so here we are

Also I've been meaning to do a pic in which they are the Bruce Timm crazy couple, which is the setting in which Harley works best, I think.

I am really pleased with this one I imagine the story is they are in a top floor room at Arkham in the aftermath of some terrible deeds. The Danse Macabre is the music that helped this along, it seems very suitable [link]
It is also kinda referencing the end of Burton's 1989 Batman movie, too

I can actually see Burton's Joker with a Harley, it kinda fits his character

She'd be a classy Harley. Β None of this "clowning around with Bat Brain" stuff, or anyone else for the matter. Β Who needs Vicki Vale? Β Harleen Quinnzel is the kick-butt cutie of the Batman universe.

This is great- he looks pretty good with the combed hair and closed grin, Harley must be having the time of her life. Kudos on the scene and music selection!

I think Joker looks way more creepy with a closed grin, and it's good to hear someone mention the music!Β 
Thanks again!

This is brilliant!
I just love how Harley looks as though this is the time of her life, and Joker still looks crazy, even when his hair is combed and his suit is nice.
It's the blood. Definitely the blood.
Awesome!

Thank you so much! Your description of their appearance was exactly what I was going for, I'm glad it came through. Also it's good to draw Joker turning on the charm for a change
Anyway, thanks again for such a kind comment

TheGasMaster4381 [2011-04-06 06:37:28 +0000 UTC]

Very nice! I love the cel-shading color style you incorporated into this piece!! it has a dark cartoony feel, it looks like the Joker has a splat of blood on his mouth which adds to the horror effect in this piece I love how you drew the characters in such lively poses (I'm sure they would actually dance around like that in the light of the moon) The composition is interesting and leaves the eye wandering. The Ballroom and night sky are very nice touches and add to the dark feeling of the picture overall very nice work! you should be proud of this piece!

Danse Macabre will always be the theme tune to "Jonathan Creek" to me, but its still fitting for this creepy couple!!

This is one of my most favourite peices of Harley x Joker that I have seen <333 The whole concept is beautifully done, the colours of the background complement so well! The expression of Joker and Harley are captured wonderfully! Jokers intence stare meets her playful smile. Beautiful artwork as always <33

You are very kind This is one of those rare things that came out almost exactly as I imagined it; it is one of my favourite things I've posted here. It's always fun to draw Joker with an expression other than manic grin, too
Anyway, thanks again, it was a pleasure to read such a considered comment

Again, you did a wonderful job
It's cool to see a HarleyXJoker work from you again ^^
I remember this dance scene from the Burton movie and it fits great here with J and Harl

Very well done!

I prefer the darker versions of Joker to work alone, but when they're done right they are a great double act And I don't think I've ever drawn them actually happy like this before
