Edit Dec 2010: Thank you all for such a favorable reaction these past few years! I've seen my image posted around the internet in quite a few places. I've decided to go back and release this under a creative commons license. Feel free to spread it around, but please:
Give me credit.
Don't claim it as your own, or try to sell it.
And don't chop it up (or if you do chop it up, tell me about it first).
You guys (internet folk) rock, and I trust that nobody wants to rip me off.

Well... what kind of painting will it be?
Hopefully it won't look too derivative.
I like seeing more art, so Go for it.
Though I would like if you could drop a link to my pic, saying something like "inspired by" or whatnot.

Nooooo! Not George, for the love of all that is holy!
lol, as deeply disturbing and childhood-shattering as this is... It's pretty damn clever and very well done.

Disturbingly hilarious. Color scheme and concept are amazing! And good fusion between "real world" style and not-real world.
I think what would have made this painting even better than it is now, would be if you left out the "George" at the end. Like Andy Warhol's Marylin Monroe, for instance, the viewer doesn't need many visual cues to know that it's Marylin Monroe. I think people are familiar enough with Curious George and the man in the yellow hat that they'll laugh just because they're seeing a cult-classic psychopath and a childhood-favorite interacting in the same picture.

For better or for worse, somebody on the internet already took the time to personally edit out the "George" part.

...Wow, that is really good. Did the person tell you they did it?
Well, either way, it's a really good picture.

Nice! I like your humour, as well as your artistic skill. I agree with what ~NitrusOxide said below about how you drew George and the Joker in different styles, which are their own. I think it's good you did that, as it also reflects their personality and their characters. You did a great job on this

Oh my God. THAT WAS YOU?! @ @
Seriously, that's effed up, I saw a few times while screwing around DA awhile back, and I had no idea. Wow.
I like how you kept George in his original style (thicker lines and all) but made the Joker grittier and more realistic instead of drawing them both in the same way. It looks like he just stepped into the book to screw with the poor little bastard. Nice work.
What's the cause of the texture on this piece? It looks neat.

Why yes... That WAS me!
I'm glad you like it.
I really made a conscious effort to show the style contrast, so I'm happy that you picked up on that.
Would you mind clarifying what you mean by "what's the cause of the texture?"
It is a watercolor, I used watercolor paper, I used a pencil drawing underneath and some sharpie lines on top.

If you look very closely there are tiny vertical lines spaced closely together on the paper. I figured that texture came from the paper itself. That or it's just my monitor being weird. Could be that, it happens.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh... I hadn't noticed that.
Yeah, that's from the grain of the watercolor paper.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well personally I think it contributes to the piece rather than taking away, so I wouldn't worry about it.
