villains01-JOKER

picked up a new sketchbook, smaller than the usual, for portability. thought of doing a particular theme for this one, and i'm hoping to do a piece each day, just for the fun of it and as a good workout. and i'll post them up without any editing or whatsoever, so everything is kept natural. fun, i told ya guys.

VILLAINS will be the subject of this collection, and will feature infamous characters in comics, movies, animation, real life, etc...so this is gonna be fun. not really aiming to make these pieces really well rendered, as i said, i really wanna do this for fun, and to test out different approaches (in preparation of the new gig).

so for our first art, given how much i am Batman nut, so the honor should go to his nemesis, the demented genius Joker. i really don't get tired of this lunatic, especially when done right. he's a perfect anti-thesis to Bat's methodology and morals. the 2 are basically mirror images of each other, most especially since they both don't have any superpowers, and just rely on their wits, resources, and humanity which ultimately is both an advantage and disadvantage.

so here we go. it's the start of a new month, and one that will take us to the end of the year and the start of another.
really excited for this exercise, and already have a few other villains in mind, but if you guys have any suggestions, just pitch em up, and i'll put them up for consideration.
