🂽 Harley Quinn "Queen of Hearts" - Digital Painting & Process

"...that's so cute. You think you're scary. Well I've seen scary and you don't have his smile"

This was a fun one! Doing established comic characters gives you a lot of room to play with. Take this Harley for example, my take is rather different than what you saw in Suicide Squad. This one is more akin to the 1992 animated version but a lot more evil. This is a straight up Photoshop painting that I made using my mouse, regular brushes and color blend modes. I think the playing card format rounds it off nicely. Perhaps a "full deck" of heroes and villians would be cool?

Harley Quinn is the frequent accomplice and lover of the Joker, whom she met while working as a psychologist at Gotham City's Arkham Asylum, where the Joker was a patient. Her name is a play on the name "Harlequin", a character which originated in the commedia dell'arte. The character has occasionally been depicted as an antihero, and she has teamed up with fellow villains Catwoman and Poison Ivy, the latter serving as Quinn's close friend, recurring ally, and romantic interest. Harley Quinn has also been depicted as a member of the Suicide Squad. - Wiki

"Face it, Harl, this stinks — yer a certified nutso wanted by the law in over a dozen states — and hopelessly in love with a murderous, psychopathic clown."
