Harley Quinn: The Joke's On You

I have a seriously bad habit of neglecting this blog...and I don't really know why.  I seem to post stuff on every other social network BUT the one that I started posting my art on.  I need to cut that out.  Anyways, a while ago I finally finished that Harley Quinn picture that I posted on here not too long ago.  I also made it available as a print, if you would like Harley to grace your walls or frame in all of her 11" x 17" splendor.

I have other newer art that I need to post, and I definitely will soon, but once I get on a creative roll, I have to keep that pencil busy.  And you should always do the same too!!  But I do have at least a little time to tell you to follow me on Tumblr if you haven't already, check out my Facebook page, or follow me on Instagram!

Harley Quinn WIP

As promised, here's a work in progress post of my Harley Quinn illustration via Instagram.  I decided to pull back the crop a little bit to show more of Harley, but the Instagram post doesn't show any of that really...like at all.  Whatevs.

Welp, enough selfish time for today, back to commissions I go.  Hopefully this will be completed sometime soon.

Harley Quinn Sketch(es)

So, I decided to do another Harley Quinn illustration, so I made a pretty decent sketch of her yesterday, or so I thought.  I liked it a lot yesterday, but I didn't really love it.  So I slept on it, and decided to do another one.  I took some elements from the first and put them in the second, while changing some, and came up with a new sketch.  Who knows, I may just finish them both, but cel shade the first and do what I normally do on the second.  Or maybe, the first one will forever live in sketch purgatory and never get finished.  Dah, oh well...at least I'm drawing right?  I mean, that is the important thing.

Instagram (Poison Ivy & Harley Quinn)

Finished just in time for Halloween!!  I've been working on this one relentlessly through the computer struggles and stutters due to limited RAM and Hurricane Sandy messiness.

Continuing with what I stated earlier, I was going to just draw these two characters at first, and then decided to throw in a background, which my computer probably regrets, I don't.  I posted a work in progress picture from Instagram (ironic) on my tumblr, and it got an overwhelming number of notes.  So much so in fact, that I'm doing a giveaway on there.

If you reblog my original post on Tumblr (sorry, Likes don't count), you have an opportunity to win an 11" x 17" print of this image gratis!!  The contest ends this Sunday, November 4, so enter before then!!  And if you don't happen to win, I'll be sure to get this print up available for purchase soon!

Instagram (Revision)

"Sketches" are sketches for a reason....they can be changed, altered, and improved upon.  There were some things that I definitely hated in my previous sketch, that I changed now...and finally added a base framework for what I want the background to look like.  I think I'm done tinkering with the sketch...and now onto the inks and colors!!  Hopefully this will turn out to be print worthy.

Instagram, Work In Progress

I drew a picture about 2 years ago (probably more now that I actually think about it) with Harley Quinn facetime chatting the Joker on her brand new Iphone 4.  I liked the concept, but not the end result too much.  So I decided to draw it over again...but then I thought it would be better if I drew in Poison Ivy, since they're like best friends (perhaps even more).  And then, it turned to instagram...and I guess, thats pretty much all there is to it.  

And then I though that there was a lot of negative space there, so a background of some kind is definitely in order there.  I thought about doing the typical Gotham inspired rooftop, but then I thought, if you're posting pics to instagram of you and your friends, it has to be something of you doing something over the top.  So the two ideas I had in my head were them just robbing a bank, with the bank exploding in the background, or them vandalizing the batmobile.  Hey, either one works for me.  So, expect inks and colors of this one up soon.
