Description
Tada!! It's the Scarecrow, a.k.a. Jonthan Crane!!So, yes I know what you're asking. Why isn't the Scarecrow a crow? Well that's what you'd think he'd be, but remember, he may be the ScareCROW, but at the end of the day, he's Jonathan CRANE.
So this is Jonathan as a Red-Crowned Crane. www.wallcoo.net/animal/2008_an… felicitywright.com/blog/wp-con… upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia…
They're beautiful birds. And they are VERY tall. And I think that grace and height fits Jonathan's character very well. Not to mention if you think of Jonathan as a red-head like I do, then the red patch at the top of these bird's heads is the icing on the cake.
Fun fact though... Jonathan's normally considered one of the weakest of the Arkham inmates. But in this Animal Version world I'm making, he's actually MUCH larger than Batman. Several times larger in fact. I just thought that was entertaining. XD
(EDIT: I actually had to make a small adjustment to the picture. I had it so that Jonathan's primary feathers were tipped with black, but that only appears on red-crowned cranes under two years of age. Jonathan's a full-grown adult, so his primary feathers would be pure white.)
Oh, and about that thing beneath his wing, there's one under the other as well. These devices are used to contain and administer the Fear Toxin that the Scarecrow is so well known for. They are strapped to, and move with, his wings, and he is perfectly capable of flying with them on.
Hope you all enjoy!! This was a blast.
Red-Crowned Cranes are so pretty.
The next character is Twitch!! His animal is going to be fun too!!

Oh, lord, I love the irony of this. Wonder if he'd be afraid of himself then.

Only if this was the version with the bird phobia.
This might be the one with the bat phobia.

True, true. How hilariously ironic it would be if this was the version of him that was afraid of birds.

Not bad. I love the crane idea. Hence his last name is Crane. But I thought Scarecrow would be more of a crow, or a raven. Nothing says frightening than seeing a crow coming for you in the dead of night. ^_^

Did you read my comments in the description. There's other reasons I picked a crane other than his name.

And I'll say again. I love the crane idea. It surprised me. ^_^

If Jonathan is a full-grown adult Red-Crowned Crane, here the explanation for the black feathers: he painted them of that color to look more
fearsome.

The image has actually been edited for a long time.
Adult red-crowned cranes DO have black feathers, they just don't have time on the tips of their wings.
So I got rid of them. 83

Fact: Scarecrow isn't necessarily completely weak, as he utilizes a type of Drunken Fist-like form of martial arts that is rather unpredictable, but he is, indeed, very scrawny.

Thank you dear. I'm not a Scarecrow newb though.
I knew about that little factoid.
The style of martial arts does not make you anymore physically strong.
My point in the comments is that a Crane is absolutely larger and stronger than that bat species I'm using for Batman.

I also see you took a book from the Arkham series by having him have syringe wings for Fear Toxin. Clever.

I know that. I only said that he's as thin as a twig.

I see this making sense since both have long, lanky limbs. (Alliteration XD)

Yep. I said the same thing in the artist comments.

Holy cow the idea for this whole thing you're doing is incredible, I love your versions of all of the characters as animals. It's such a great idea and it's also making you want to go back and look up the characters' information again themselves. Epic idea!
Edit* Also he looks super gorgeous, love how you worked the tall aspect in comparison to Batman in there. He can be pretty freaky and from watching my brother play Arkham Asylum and him being in it made me think of that, also, Scarecrow is just the bomb! But I seriously love all of these guys, gorgeous job on all of them!!!

Oh, I love Gotham Gears!! I found it after I started this project.
I actually talked to the creator and asked if he would mind if I Gotham Geared my own Batman OC.
He said yes!! X3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, no, no!!
I asked him if I could do it!! Since it's his idea.
Heh, I wouldn't bother requesting anything from him. He's quite busy. X3
