Is it bad that my first thought when I first saw this was "Holy shit, Guy Fawkes. Wait. No. It's a cool drawing of a Jester."

Also, this is one badass drawing of a Jester.

Its "Fitz" and the "Fools" offspring! Really enjoy the simplicity of the sinister.

Ok i'll think about it and get back to you soon. You know you are the second person that came to me about using my Jester as a theme for a tattoo They had him sitting on a throne though.

Well, it's very appealing. It's not pretentious or flashy, but it still ends up cool.

There's a fanbase out there for amzing stuff that isn't overflowing with idiotic amounts of Eastern influence. The Jester is one of those characters that call to a part of us that yearns for those old nursery rhymes and those fantastic tales from the days of old. Ah, that strange nostalgia.

Thanks for making this piece.

the-hurukai In reply to Jester-of-the-Clown [2009-03-11 13:33:16 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much! I know what you mean, allot of my ideas these days are reflecting the same yearning - those old children's books with wood etched illustrations that somehow sucks you into their surreal world does it for me. Eastern stuff have their worth to some level but I think it has saturated the styles of many artists causing them to loose their own unique style both visually and how they put across a message.

I hope to make more Drawings and photo manipulations along this line!

This is amazing, honest question. Can I get this tattooed to myself? I've been trying to find a jester I liked for a long time. And this is awesome. I just wanted to ask you instead of just throwing it on me without asking/thanking the artist

the-hurukai In reply to x3RowsOfSpikes [2008-12-09 22:49:02 +0000 UTC]

Cool! I appreciate you asking. Sure you can go ahead! I'm kinda curious to see the tattoo version

x3RowsOfSpikes In reply to the-hurukai [2008-12-10 03:30:13 +0000 UTC]

Thanks. That is awesome you are alright with that, I'll be going to get it done this weekend for sure. It's going on right shoulder blade, I'm going to have him in a kings throne though. Later, I plan on getting a female jester in a queens throne on the other shoulder. BTW I just signed up for DA yesterday just to ask you this, so I don't know how to post a picture to show you how it turns out : ( lol explain it for me later please : ) , again thanks!

the-hurukai In reply to uttercaptivation [2006-10-13 12:30:43 +0000 UTC]

Wow... Im truly greatful for your flattering comment, I had written about him in a sketch for a story and i just had to draw him I wanted to do my take on a Jester without any refrences; just having the basic idea of what this person should be due to his inner personality and secondary duty to the Royal Court as a secret bodygard... thus he could'nt have on all the bells and jingles and funny shoes, had to be pratical.
I'm even more proud of him now!
