Joker Concept Art

I have no idea why it took me several years to finally get around to drawing this guy.

Anyways, this is Joker, the main villain of my series Aozora's Adventure and a design I was given permission to use by SimirrorofShadows from long ago. He's the leader of a gang of professional assassins known as the "A.C.E.S.", with team members named after the different suits in playing cards.

Joker himself is perhaps the biggest threat to Aozora and company, resorting to theft, forced labor, blackmail, and other forms of corruption and manipulation to accomplish his goals while remaining undercover. And if he's right next to you, it goes without saying that he'll stab you in the back or shoot you with his pistol when you least expect it. He's also got a bunch of professional mechanics and scientists behind his belt, and if you do invade his fortress in outer space, Joker will do every dirty trick in the book to eliminate you.

Overall I can't really say I had much trouble with this pic, the only thing keeping me form finishing it sooner was all the side-activities that I've been doing. It helps that Joker himself doesn't have that complex of an outfit, at least compared to a few of my other characters like Sharkane who I initially scrapped after many anatomical problems I simply could not fix (I promise I'll get back to him... someday).

For now, I'll leave you with this picture of Joker; Hope it's good enough for everyone.
