Have critique? Important note!
Please bear in mind this is a WIP (I'm posting now because school will interrupt the finished product for about a year) and I haven't finished some parts.

Please also remember that I do not have a pen tablet and use a mouse. Therefore it gets quite physically painful to paint at times and it is very hard to get long strokes, let alone the strokes you want.



Info
This is the largest scale project I have done so far, although I haven't even vaguely come near the 50 hours I intended to spend on it...

Other Stuff
If you like the Joker, please consider joining *TDKJokerLovers ! You won't regret it...
Or if you're sadistic and you want to keep seeing by blood on the computer screen, please support ~UnderSuppliedArtists ! I will be posting this there.

Copyright info
The Joker and Batman (and The Joker's quotes) not mine! I don't take credit for his genius...



OKAY I'LL SHUT UP NOW - but I have heaps to say about this, so PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS/COMMENT! Promise this project will be the last in a while.



RIP Heath Ledger...

This is looking truly amazing, at times I even forget that you're doing it on the computer and makes it look so much like an actual painting. xD

^^ Just by looking over that... fair sure my headache deminished.
Now that is skill.

Hehe, mission accomplished!

Sometimes I do wish it were a real painting though - although that would mean I would be keeping it all to myself....

Thank you so much!

haha. Hurrah. ^___^

I know the feeling; once finished take to Big W and print out... costly yes; but can be totally worth it seeing it in print, changes works so much. o.o

Very welcome! As always.

Scream-Deafening In reply to Reno-s--Brain [2009-05-21 08:19:41 +0000 UTC]

Sounds awesome. ^^ I printed some of my drawings off at Big W, so the quality wasn't fantastic, but I couldn't believe how they came out. xD They look completely different when you can hold it up and look closer without blinding yourself on the monitor lights. haha

Reno-s--Brain In reply to Scream-Deafening [2009-07-22 08:07:37 +0000 UTC]

Did you print them on canvas, or paper? Canvas looks so pro... but then the whole faux painting look might seem a tad tryhard... o.o
Do the colours stay the same? Is it shiny? D:

Scream-Deafening In reply to Reno-s--Brain [2009-07-22 08:21:09 +0000 UTC]

Glossy paper. ^^ Framed them up all nice as gifts.
But you can get matte paper, and various others. The colours depend on where you go, sometimes they come out vibrant, sometimes pink (our BigW got a new machine... it's baddddd) but it tends to be very close to the actual image. For something like yours I would suggest finding a specialty shop, and ask for examples of their previous work. xD But I'm obsessive.

Mine turned out quite bright whith the coloured, but that worked because it was Hello Kitty. lol. But again, depends on the place you go and quality of image inthe first place.

OMGGG I am so tempted to do a pic just so I can print it right now... D:
Heyy - that sounds great! I always thought printers dulled image colours - guess I was wrong!

Nup, Big W sounds good enough to me~! I officially love them very much now.

hehe, well it comes down to the printer and ink, but they can come out wonderfully, just use photo quality. ^^

MrsJ [2008-12-28 18:26:03 +0000 UTC]

You did a marvelous job! The two side pictures seem to have the same style, but the middle one has more of a flow. I like that. It helps with the movement of the eye from one eye candy to the next. Splendid art indeed.

*mouth opens and closes*
This is so amazingly impressive ^^ and it's a WIP! and without a tablet!
Your colouring skills are so so awesome and realistic. <3
I wish I could colour half as well as you do~ and I have a tablet, too...

You know what I think would be really cool? If you could put this as a massive mural/print/project it onto a wall or something. It seems like it should be seen on a really large scale... hmm, maybe that's just me. Wow, if it's not even 1/4 of the size at full view... does it lag your computer? XD; Sorry, that's a bit random.

I'm glad that you're enjoying doing this because it seems like a heck of a lot of work, but it's so so awesome.

Goldfish!
Hey, I'm sure you could do it too with the right amount of inspiration. Sometimes I wonder if I can do it again in the same way...

Yeah!! I wanted to do that too! I figured it's somewhere less than a metre tall... and yeah it does... Otherwise I would work on it more often.

Ho yes, the power and wonderment of fanart...

i like the way your lighting it, make sure you add something gental the back of his hand in the image on the right, the highlights at the edges are good, but the rest is going a little flat. might have something to do with the highlights from the thumb.

DarthMater [2008-10-18 08:46:43 +0000 UTC]

First I would like to say that the colors are beautiful. Orange and purple are seemingly taking over my artwork recently! I love the colors in this! The perspective of the buildings is also great and the style of this piece is wonderful. I haven't seen the movie but I have seen plenty of pictures of this version of the joker. I love the split screen in this image showing two different poses. I also like the flames in the background and the brushstrokes make this look so much better than just a photo of these images. Great work! You blow me away with this piece!

Reno-s--Brain In reply to DarthMater [2008-10-20 05:46:38 +0000 UTC]

Hehe, me too! Contrasting colours ftw!

OMG -- You haven't seen the movie? (You should!) This makes me even happier that you like it, because I know I'd be biased toward most things with the Joker in it...

I'm glad you like the flames because I wasn't sure whether to get rid of them or not - but now I'm definitely not going to!
