THE JOKER (SXE list, #1, MURDER)

"You look nervous; is it the scars?"

what could be a more appropriate title for the Joker but "murderer" [excluding "amazing" and "awesome" and "crazy" and "insane" etc XD ]

Here it is!

FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT DON'T KNOW [which is probably all of you]

I DON'T SMUDGE.

i've always hated smudging [cuz whenever i'd think of smudging, i'd imagine those hideous pictures where people smudge too much, then it goes all over the paper until the original character/person on the paper disappears beneath all the smudge. you know what i'm talking about.]

well, THIS IS MY FIRST ATTEMPT AT SMUDGING.

what do you think?
i think he turned out well, all things considered. one thing i wish i could improve was
1] his hair. i'm awful at hair normally, but in this case it's tougher cuz his hair is supposed to be whispy and curly.... and it's not right here. sorry.
2] his ear was a pain in the butt.
3] the skin on the left side, near the hair, looks a bit ragged, but i guess i can kinda get away with it because he IS wearing messed up face paint...

and, for a smudging tool, i used Qtips... because they seemed easy to control.
sooooo... does anyone have suggestions for better smudging tools, cuz Qtips took a hecka lot of time.

let me now just proclaim my love for the best actor ever, HEATH LEDGER [R.I.P, man.]

and the coolest joker ever created [all hail!]
