(Just a few quick sketches and one ink drawing)

Live Journal COmmunity "Joker in Ink" is lookin' for new members, yaay! I just recently joined (and I hardley join anything).

I had discovered they have a dedication to the Joker as seen in the comics and in animation (my preferred versions). No DK Joker version/topics over there, yaay! Whoohoo! XD

Had a sudden rush of fangirl sketches after I saw a few images of the 'reborn' Joker from the Batman comics of a series called Batman: RIP.
I wish I could have the comics on hand to read, but I cannot afford them TT_TT *cries---but I have seen a few images from the storyline and was like, Holey Crap!

At first I was a bit offset with the gruesome look, and thought it too bad his mouth is scarred like the movie version, but then, after seeing a few more images---uhh....he's still so cool!! >_<*blushes

I prefer this comic book version of the white coat, slicked back hair, vicious version of Joker than any movie interpretation.

The way he is drawn, he resembles even more of the dude played by Conrad Veidt, "The Man who Laughs" (yes yes I know, the Joker design was inspired by this movie).
I love silent movies, especially TMWL, and now with the Jokers lips twisted back with stitches stuck in the grin, he looks more like Gwynplaine than ever (minus the killing and bloodlust) XD.

'Kay, that's all, if you want to see a larger view of the image in the top left of the collage, you'll have to visit the LiveJournal Joker In Ink site to see it at full view XD

Sorry for all the watermarks--I just don't like seeing fanart being used by others without credit being given as to who drew them. Watermarks are somehting I wil do from now on..

Oh, and if anyone tries to argue which Joker is better (books or movie), I will disable comments >_<
Thank you!
