Description

Chris Samnee original art of the Joker from his Batober 29, 2020 with the prompt Crooked.

Smile,
Though your art dark inkin'
Smile,
Even though Bill's pickin'
Zevia clouds in his eye
You'll get by...

If you smile
Through your fear Orlando
Smile,
For Samnee tomorrow
Your Billigan come shinin' through,
For you...

Light up joke face with madness
Lines, wear a mask of anxious
Although I fear
There'd be no more next year

That's the time, You must see fair warnin'
Smile, what's the use cut biddin'
You'll find that life is still worth style
If you just smile

Samnee's Joker smiles with a rose on the grey
Ooh, the more inking of you, the offset it feels, yeah
And now that Marcus' rose is in bloom
Scanner light hits the gloom on the grey

This looks like a snapshot  of a photographer  secretly  following  the joker. Only to lose him in a dark alley.then to the photographers  dismay, turn around and find the joker behind him.he falls  to the ground and manages to get a photo.(the last he will ever take.) Of the joker moving in for the kill.

It's darker than many of his other pieces, but that is only fitting for the subject. The light in this piece is there for one purpose and that is to illuminate that crooked smile.

Nice play on the Crooked prompt! Samnee has always put out great work and this is no exceptions. The rich, copious amount of India ink is so absolutely delicious, it makes you want to drink it all in!

Brilliant. The choice of darkening one eye makes for such a creepy and efficient representation.

Samnee's Batober pieces are usually more wholesome.  That makes the piece even more striking to me.

sweet Joker piece. The subtle differences (and color work) in each eye really tops it off

I love all the darkness that Samnee creates in this one unlike so many of his other drawings, which are so bright and focused lines. He really adds a lot of ink to this. A very nice grab.

Remember at Halloween when we were kids and we'd hold a flashlight under our chins to make ourselves look scarier? The lighting on this illustration by Chris Samnee reminds me of that. The light from below makes the Joker look even more frightening--If that's even possible. Fastastic illustration by Chris Samnee of a character who's been drawn by just about every great comic book artist ever. Still, Samnee's lighting trick does make it seem like a fresh take on a very old villain.

A smile a day brings happiness your way!  Just ask Mr. J here.  If that's what A smile does, imagine a constant grin?!?!  Dig lots here how he's mostly shadowed...them beady eyes.  Congats, man!
