Description It loos like it is time for some shameless fan art! Honestly, my ability to draw people has grown a bit sketchy, so lately, I've been looking into drawing Joker, from the game Persona 5. I haven't played it, and with his release into Smash Bros Ultimate a few weeks ago now from writing this, it only seemed appropriate (yes, the smash logo on the moon was 100% intentional). The proportions and head shapes behind the characters in the game is rather stunning, and I appreciate the different personalities of each character. Either way, it gave me some practice and is a character far more people know and enjoy. 

Doing Joker's form was actually more comfortable then I initially thought. In fact, the hardest part was probably extending the legs, as I find myself giving human characters short, chubby legs more often then not. Unfortunately, I was hoping to work more on Joker's face, as that is the part that I struggle with the most. Also, I definitely tried to keep the same art style as what is often in the game. I added more lights (which was actually rather time consuming), but the shading style and even the buildings I tried to keep consistent from the loading screen of the game itself. My hopes are just that it all paid off.

As always, thanks for reading!

Akira: Ah, Tokyo... it always brings a smile to my face. How about you, Morgana?
Morgana: Same here, Akira.

Now this is quite the piece. First off you are quite good with the background. It really helps to capture Joker in the setting that he should be in with Morgana. The shading and the bits of lighting help to bring everything out in this drawing. That pose of Jokers is epic and makes me want to do a similar pose for a cosplay picture, because I know that it would be epic. ^_^ Got to say that your art really has inspired me a lot.

Wow, I appreciate it! It's actually funny that you mention that... I've actually got another one on Joker coming now, I'm just stuck working on his hair, really. Do be safe in the picture... he looks very high up!

Glad you do. That is awesome and I look forward to it. O don't worry. I'm going to take my picture in a similar place in my hometown that won't be dangerous. I won't be looking out over a city, but it will give the same similar feeling.

this truly is beautiful especially the way you did the buildings (I suck at making backgrounds) especially since Persona 5 is now everywhere cause of Joker being in Smash Bros and Persona 5 Royal is also coming with a new Phantom Thief member

Aw, thanks, I appreciate it! I was just hoping to capture the same amazing art style that the game has (with a few personal touches). And yes, I'm not sure who this new phantom thief is, but the character design is looking very promising so far as always. Finally, don't be discouraged from working on techniques that you struggle with- I certainly know that my art is not perfect, but hope to improve in the years to come!
