"Come here I'm gonna tell you how this will end.
Come here I'm gonna drag you down as they ascend
Guns go off and acid rains down, the face of this town
Blood and dirt and dirty blood money, an explosive sound
The whole ground cracks
From the oil and the blood on the tracks because
All the devil's toys
(Now you're gonna see them)
When I bring you this
All the devils toys
(Now you're gonna hear them rise)"
~ "All The Devil's Toys", Deathstars
Surprisingly managed to get this done quite quickly, and I am VERY proud with the final result. This came out perfect. I may loathe shading, but damn, all the work is TOTALLY worth it.
This idea I had had in mind for some time, and it was all because of a Deathstars song titled "All the Devil's Toys". I watched the music video, and for whatever reason, I suddenly got this idea of both Dollface and Scarecrow going up a staircase, making them rise up with Gotham city in the background and smoke - which I changed to the fear gas - engulfing the entire city. Basically symbolizing how the two were going to make Gotham there's and everyone would be below them. It seemed like a really dark and cool idea, so low and behold, I finally got around to doing it and it came out SO much better than I thought it would.
I originally was going to do it entirely in ink, but I realized that doing the smokey/smudged effect would be a WHOLE lot easier to do with lead, and I felt that the shading would be easier and make the image pop more than with ink.
First time drawing hair being blow in the wind, and it most definitely came out beautifully. I used reference pictures for the both of them walking (key to learning to draw better or having difficulty with something in particular: use reference pictures!).
Songs I used for inspiration - aside from Deathstars' "All the Devil's Toys" - were "The Beautiful People" by Marilyn Manson, and "Legion of Monsters" by Disturbed.
