Story of the Picture (maybe)

Untitled1860_20180812152621.png

Rose got a call from her manager that will make a comic, the people asked Rose to pose for a picture

They realised they don't have the money to hire an artist with an average wage, so they cancelled it, Rose was pissed at the fact that she wasted time on that refference, and the false hope she has gotten from her manager. As she scrolled up on her twitter, she saw an aspiring talented artist drawing fanart of her show this gives her an idea.

So and so, she hired them with below minimum wage, but the fan was so blind that they accepted the contract. So long as they offered exposure.

Rose smiled, she got a fan to do her bidding, they never even question it, ofcourse the artist got the exposure, she got, but it wasn't a lot. But it kept them very satisfied that the artist now thinks Rose is her friend


Hello stameenees or.. Steemians?

Hope you like that story bid there, she is one true evil b- well lets be family friendly here lolol-

So anyways I decided to join up a fun contest from @cobmaximus about making/redrawing a comic book cover! Which I thought this is gonna be fun!

I was thinking of redrawing my friends comic, but then Rose's idea came up and I'm like! It's gonna be cool if I do it with the Killing Joke!

And with Rose my evil manipulator character, she is so goddamn evil!! :D
You can find out about her here if ya want!

Rose The Actor

The reff image I used was the killing joke cover, but I can't find a link to the source other than a wiki page so I guess I'm not allowed to post it LOL. Sorry just google it and you'll find it.

Now I don't really like the comic? Like when I finished it I'm like "that's it..? Welp that was pretty boring" because it was just about his back story or something oh how tragic boohoo so sad, oh Joker doesn't even think its how you got into this mess? Well what was the point of giving him a backstory?! I was bored and I didn't give a shit about batman killing Joker in the end, blah blah blah, come on comic! I've seen better edginess on the internet. Haha just kiddin

"Oh maya didn't you liked it?" actually inner doubts I did 'like' it.

I tried to pretend I like the comic like the other comic book fans I was close to, but I end up hating it more because I had to pretend XD they treat it like a masterpiece and I feel guilty for not liking it, but that was my own fault though! Ahah... ;-;

But for a comic from the past it seemed way passed its time though, plus atleast it's not bad as the movie cough oh god the movie cough

The art of the comic is very cool, and very well drawned though, so I'll give em that as well.

Now lets go to the progress!

First of all we start with... The.. SKEETCH thats right the billion dollar answer it's sketching mhm planning out the goddamn sketcharooni. It is black and white because I don't know what to do.

I thought I was going to make the picture this close, but then I made some trial and error and..

Untitled1879_20180815151420.png

I make it even bigger or well, make the picture more detailed, I asked a friend of mine which one she liked more and she liked the bigger version of it, and gave me some feedback on it soo, thanks friend (Casey) 👀👌

Capture+_2018-08-15-23-42-03.png

Finally done with the sketch, I tried to do lineart, and aghh I hate lineart, its the worst thing ever in art, soo..

I decided not to do it

"What the- you're lazy as hell?!" ehem inner doubts, I call it.. being efficient ;) LOL

Untitled1882_20180815152601.png

So I just color behind the sketching layer and just use blending layers to set up the mood of the picture and planning it out.

Untitled1883.png

Finally I just do whatever and just color it in with no care in the world, aahh coloring is my favourite thing in the world

But then I have a problem,

The world is about to hand of the invasion.. A word that artist never speaks of..

T-the t-the h-hand..

AAAAAAAAaaaaaaaAAAAAHHHH!! You have no IDEA how much times I have to redraw this stupid GODDAMN HAND AAAAGHHHHHHH I FEEL LIKE AN IDIOT, because I draw like this, it looks not okay, I draw like that, it still didnt look okay, but whatever, I gave up on it so I just hope none of you noticed the shitty hand.

But then I already told you that the hand is shitty so... Whoops.. ? Lol

Untitled1884_20180815184659.png

Anyways!! I finally detailed it from a low resolution picture trying to make it HD lookalike and make it look pretty

Untitled1885_20180816000035.png
