Description Ahahahaaaa!!!

This is a still of the Joker threatening Rachel in the upcoming movie The Dark Knight. Painted from an image I found somewhere on'tinternet.

I have to say, I wasn't hugely impressed with the casting of Heath Ledger as the Joker in the beginning, but frankly he's grown on me and now I can't wait to see what he does with the character. I reckon he'll do a cracking job.

All rights Warner Bros etc...

Da na na na na na naaa Batman!!!

Acrylic on canvas. Funnily enough, crapscan was in a good mood

this is excellent! Perfect even! I particularly like how you did the skin!

As for casting i felt the same way at first, then i saw the trailer and thought woah this guy can actually pull it off and now im so excited i cant wait to see the movie.

thank you!

It didn't take me long to become a convert to the Heath casting. The trailer truly was the icing on the cake. He really gives good Joker

I think by the time the movie comes around I'll be a quivering wreck of anticipation.

I love the fact his smile was created by one (seemingly) and yet it seems to be his weapon of choice. Laughing at the irony.

Exactly! I was kinda weirded out that Heath Ledger (RIP dear man) would be playing the Joker but as soon as i saw him in the trailer it was like

Beautiful job

That trailer, I think blew everyone's doubts away in regards to Heath Joker. A few jaws hit the floor when that came out, it has to be said

Thank you

omg, this still is going to generate a lot of fanfic, which I hope isn't a dirty word around here.

Either way, interesting choice of pic you chose to 'aint'. It looks stunning.

I think many people thought it was an odd casting, myself included, but that is but a distant memory now. His voice is perfect and his look is incredible. I am looking forward to being blown away by his creation.

I do lots of blending with my acrylics (basically, I use my finger to rub the paint between tones) I also use a dry brush a lot. Other than that, I work every day with it

Ooh, I have a tutorial on another one of my Joker pics, which currently resides in scraps that shows you the haphazard way I work

This is fantastic! I must say, I was the same way when I heard that Heath was doing the Joker. However, he won me over a little bit when I heard his laugh...Here's hoping that he does a good job!

sullen-skrewt In reply to PatriciaTepes [2008-01-22 13:54:17 +0000 UTC]

His laugh is terrific! I also love the way he changes the tone of his voice-'You're just a freak....Like Meeee!' I really can't wait to see this film, fingers crossed it's going to be as good as the trailer promises.

Jaxene In reply to ??? [2008-01-20 19:35:37 +0000 UTC]

Great job! I also couldn't fathom Heath as the Joker when that first was announced but after seeing the trailer I became a believer. I'm still not sure about Maggie G. though...Nice job though, you captured the expressions really nicely.

sullen-skrewt In reply to Jaxene [2008-01-22 13:52:17 +0000 UTC]

I was unsure about him until seeing a few stills and especially the Empire cover, which he looked great in. The trailer, really just confirmed that he was a great choice. I prefer Maggie over Katie Holmes, I'll be honest with you - I just didn't think she was believable as Rachel and frankly, she has an annoying tendency to speak out of the side of her mouth. Maybe I'm just picky

Jaxene In reply to sullen-skrewt [2008-01-23 00:19:13 +0000 UTC]

Yikes...I'm so shocked about him right now...it's such a horrible thought to think that maybe in some way the character and filming influenced what happened to him...

As for Rachel, I agree about Katie Holmes, but it just always seems weird to switch actors (er, well, I guess they've switched Batman a couple of times, now that I think of it so maybe it's not that big of a deal).
