I was thinking of redrawing my friends comic, but then Rose's idea came up and I'm like! It's gonna be cool if I do it with the Killing Joke!
And with Rose my evil manipulator character, she is so goddamn evil!! :D
You can find out about her here if ya want!
Rose The Actor
The reff image I used was the killing joke cover, but I can't find a link to the source other than a wiki page so I guess I'm not allowed to post it LOL. Sorry just google it and you'll find it.
Now I don't really like the comic? Like when I finished it I'm like "that's it..? Welp that was pretty boring" because it was just about his back story or something oh how tragic boohoo so sad, oh Joker doesn't even think its how you got into this mess? Well what was the point of giving him a backstory?! I was bored and I didn't give a shit about batman killing Joker in the end, blah blah blah, come on comic! I've seen better edginess on the internet. Haha just kiddin
"Oh maya didn't you liked it?" actually inner doubts I did 'like' it.
I tried to pretend I like the comic like the other comic book fans I was close to, but I end up hating it more because I had to pretend XD they treat it like a masterpiece and I feel guilty for not liking it, but that was my own fault though! Ahah... ;-;
But for a comic from the past it seemed way passed its time though, plus atleast it's not bad as the movie cough oh god the movie cough
The art of the comic is very cool, and very well drawned though, so I'll give em that as well.
Now lets go to the progress!
Progress!!!
FAQ:
Time took: 1 hour 40 minutes
Programs: Ibispaint
Tools: my finger, my phone, the souls of dead children, the blood of demons, and a despacito2
First of all we start with... The.. SKEETCH thats right the billion dollar answer it's sketching mhm planning out the goddamn sketcharooni. It is black and white because I don't know what to do.
I thought I was going to make the picture this close, but then I made some trial and error and..
I make it even bigger or well, make the picture more detailed, I asked a friend of mine which one she liked more and she liked the bigger version of it, and gave me some feedback on it soo, thanks friend (Casey) 👀👌
Finally done with the sketch, I tried to do lineart, and aghh I hate lineart, its the worst thing ever in art, soo..
I decided not to do it
"What the- you're lazy as hell?!" ehem inner doubts, I call it.. being efficient ;) LOL
So I just color behind the sketching layer and just use blending layers to set up the mood of the picture and planning it out.
Finally I just do whatever and just color it in with no care in the world, aahh coloring is my favourite thing in the world
But then I have a problem,
The world is about to hand of the invasion.. A word that artist never speaks of..
T-the t-the h-hand..
AAAAAAAAaaaaaaaAAAAAHHHH!! You have no IDEA how much times I have to redraw this stupid GODDAMN HAND AAAAGHHHHHHH I FEEL LIKE AN IDIOT, because I draw like this, it looks not okay, I draw like that, it still didnt look okay, but whatever, I gave up on it so I just hope none of you noticed the shitty hand.
But then I already told you that the hand is shitty so... Whoops.. ? Lol
Anyways!! I finally detailed it from a low resolution picture trying to make it HD lookalike and make it look pretty
WHI Is it called like that? Well.. WHI not?
Using an overlay layer for this and just finishing up anddd...
FINISHED!!!
Conclusion: never draw hands jkjk draw em, and practice
Anyways I finally then added the text. And my friend @diamondshine107 sent me this beautiful quote.
It's so beautiful then she wanted it to be a quote on top of the cover LOL👌
And ofcouse I drew my lovely little peep OC on the bottom,
Heres some bonus art while the steemit site got down lol.
Anyways, that's it from me ya guys, hope you all enjoyed it! Especially you @cobmaximus
