Description
Sometimes... you just can't change what you are!This painting is representational of the history of the Joker character from the Batman series.
I researched many comic stories about this character, The joker, and noticed that not one comic artist touched upon his history, without coming in contact with Batman.
There are many different stories of how this person became the Joker; he was dipped in chemicals and came out with green hair and a permanent smile, he cut his face open because of his wife, his father "put a smile" on his face as a child... So, this is my version of how the Joker became THE JOKER. This is the moment when he commits to his psychotical sociopathic-ness.
He just cut one side of his face... he's bleeding all over the place... but he's happy that he did this. He's very confident and content with his madness. His eyes give away his feeling and emotion.
The painting technique that is used in this painting is impasto (very thick paint - No thinner). This painting took a long time to develop. I created my own reference in photoshop and decided to paint the image because it was so striking. The image is completely original and produced by me.
so... this is for all of you! I hope you enjoy!

Very nice piece, but I'd like to see more elaboration on your version of the original story. The image is too intriguing to leave it so vague.
Also, is he wearing a ring?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes... he is wearing a ring... it was one of the lies he was telling in the movie about how he got his scars! He said that his wife told him he didn't smile often, so he cut a smile into his own face.... I just wanted to mention it in the painting, and the easiest way I thought that it wcould be justified was by putting a ring on his wedding finger.
I am wondering what you would be imagining for another image of this piece! please let me know because I have ideas to bring this painting in to a series! It would take the Joker out of his element tho... and possibly give another story or possible ending, but it's very creative and elaborate!
so please let me know about what you would imagine seeing as another painting and we can converse about it! Thank you!

That's what I thought. It's a nice way to mention it.
I know that some of his origin stories give nods to mob involvement, so I was perhaps thinking something along those lines. You may want to look into that.

Amazing. The painting style really brought out the red in the art. It's a wonderful piece.
And the eyes convey so much emotion in them. It only brings out his emotions and nature.

Thank you! I wish that you could see it in person! It looks better than the photo! I'm glad that you mentoined the eyes! I framed the eyes with his hands and the color red in the blood to bring more attention to them. Thank you!
