Description After half a month of nothing, I'm FINALLY able to put something up!

Scarecrow: Year One is just so amazing. Crane's history is really sad and brutal, but his Scarecrow self is just so badass! I encourage you to find it and read it!

God, this took so long... Maybe a week, on and off? I've never had so much trouble with a drawing in a long time. I'm not sure if I got his colors right, since they always seemed to be changing in the book... And I couldn't get the blue to fade into the black and that blood moon just looks wonky. Oh well, I'm really happy with how this turned out! Those pumpkins and crows were fun to draw. The corn field...eh, it looked better before I started coloring it in. You can't even make out the corn stalks anymore.

Done with ink marker and a bunch of prisma colored pencils that my friend let me borrow. Time taken....about a week.

Thanks! It's a really good one. I never knew Crane had such a sad history, portrayed like it is.
And thanks for the faves

Thats a really awseome picture! The blood moon adds a nice effect to the picture, along with the crows. Scarecrow is one of those villains that you HAVE to love. One of my favorite versions was his redesign in Batman: The animated series. It gave him a bizzare sort of western preacher look! And I saw the link for TB scarecrow. He looked really interesting, with the chains and crap

Nice picture, overall!

Thanks! Yeah, I'm not too happy with the moon. Too red, I couldn't get any details into it. I always loved Scarecrow from a very young age. Him and Joker. I never actually saw the western preacher look one. I've only heard about him, but from what I've heard, he was one of the creepiest forms for Scarecrow. I wish they would've used that design for TB. It would've looked awesome.

And thanks for the fave!

No problem for the fave. THE MOON LOOKS WONDERFUL, DAHLING! And they really should have used that design. It looked awseome!

And here's an episode of BTAS with the western-preacher-design

Just a pity he was off limits to the show because of the movies. And that ep is awesome! I'd never seen that version of him in the show before.

nice work on him! his jaket looks a bit like the jokers lol.
is the year one book full of art like this.
the scarecrow in thebatman would have been good. his face was creepy.
i like the design of the joker in that link,
i think for a batman more aimed at teenagers (like batman beyond) it would have worked out better than the current one.

Yeah, I thought so too lol. Yup, the art in the book is like that. I'd recommend reading it. I liked the design for him in The Batman. A pity he was off limits... Yeah, I think they tamed Joker down too much. He would've been an awesome bad guy if they would've let him be himself.

Should have add some mist in front of the cornfield and the moon, gives that effect of the Scarecrow.

What kind of sad and brutal story does Crane have? I love to hear it from you. I'm a DC Comics fanatic.

I never even thought of that. Oh well, as limited as my colored pencil skills are, I doubt I could've gotten that cool effect anyway.

Well, it seems to be that his mother never wanted the child and wanted him killed, and his grandmother despised him, but kept him alive, instead of burying him in the garden at birth like his mother wanted. His grandmother raised him in Georgia, making him do all the work out in the field and whenever he did something "wrong", she'd take him to the aviary in his "best suit" and once inside, a murder of crows would come flocking down to attack him. Other kids beat him up because he was so skinny, like a scarecrow.

Then, when he was a professor's student at college (or wherever) he shot an empty gun in class for the effects of fear and was fired, so the rest of the story is him getting back at his real father and the professor that betrayed him to the school.

thats deep and messed up. But what happen to his father? you never mention anything about his father. that is if the father divorced his mother. Or the mother got angry at the father of wishing to have a son and she found out that he's been cheating on her so she tried to have a revenge on him by almost killing her newborn son. idk. that's what I thought

I REALLY love his outfit design.

Scarecrow is an awesome villain, and I am disappointed that this character was never added in 'The Batman' cartoon, because I would of loved to have seen his design in there.

Don't worry, I suck at backgrounds too, but at least you tried (I just end up not doing them).

and I can see the cornstalks just fine.

You should draw more of this guy.

InkHyaena In reply to Mysterio-san [2009-08-02 20:34:13 +0000 UTC]

Thank you. I was just going off the Year One design.

Actually...I found an unused design for him for "The Batman." They were originally going to put him in the show, but because of Batman Begins, he was off limits. They were never able to bring him in because of the movies. He had these big baggy pants and chains in the design, and it just looked so sweet!

I don't do backgrounds for this very reason. I think they never turn out right.

I'm glad that you can see them. I thought they got lost in all the color.

I just might. He was really fun to draw.

Mysterio-san In reply to InkHyaena [2009-08-03 01:05:47 +0000 UTC]

I always had an idea in my head how I would draw Scarecrow, and I think someday I will do it.



You actually found an unused design for Scarecrow??

Is there any chance you have a link to that?

I would very much like to see it!

...if you can't, then that's okay.

lol, you and me both on the backgrounds then.

but the important thing is that you tried, instead of being a coward like me, who just doesn't do it at all.

InkHyaena In reply to Mysterio-san [2009-08-03 10:57:33 +0000 UTC]

Then I look forward to that.

I did. [link]

I found one for Joker as well. Personally, I'd stick with his crazy, playful long-haired design any day. He just doesn't look right with shorter hair. [link]

Aw, you're not a coward. For me, I find backgrounds intimidating, so I rarely put them in.

Mysterio-san In reply to InkHyaena [2009-08-04 04:40:35 +0000 UTC]

OMG!!

Thanks for showing me the links!

I admit, I really love the new Scarecrow design (and I'm sad to see that it was never used).

I do love his costume design, but I don't really care for his "face" that much. ...if that makes sense.
I think it's the hair.

As for Joker...yeah...that particular Joker design looks better with those longer dreadlocks.

I was gonna have a glow around them either way, but I just couldn't get the blood moon glow to fade right.

SilkenWinds [2009-08-01 22:18:04 +0000 UTC]

That's just cool. I adore corvids so I love the crows.

Yeah Scarecrow is a cool character all right, which is why it's fun to know he's kinda Joker's friend in the fic you're writing. (I say "kinda" because I'm not entirely sure how there first reunion is going to go!)

InkHyaena In reply to SilkenWinds [2009-08-01 22:23:30 +0000 UTC]

Thank you. I simply love birds, mostly raptors and corvids, so this was double fun to make as well.

I can assure you, there will be blood. Anyone who feels betrayed by a best friend is bound to have some issues, especially a homicidal clown who feels the whole city let him down.
