My version of Dustin Nguyen’s Joker from Streets Of Gotham
Heroes: Bonfire (Jackson Carlyle)
Jackson was born into one of the richest families in Harking City. His parents owned one of the biggest companies in the world, and made much of their money from building technologically advanced weapons for the government. Jackson himself was a child prodigy with a huge ego, and often went out partying around town, getting plastered and crashing cars. When he was in his mid 20s, he was invited to his father’s weapons laboratory, where his father and his team of scientists was developing a serum that when injected, gives a person superpowers based on their genetic makeup. During his tour, a group of mercenaries broke into the lab to steal the serum and use it to go on a crime spree. During the scuffle at the lab, Jackson used some of the serum on himself and got the power of fire. He took down the robbers and attempted to help his father after he was injured by the robbers, and wound up accidentally burning his father’s arm. He then allowed his mother and father to experiment on him so he could morph back into his human form. Eventually, they engineered a special chest piece that allows him the shift between being a human and a man made of fire. His parents’ company then marketed him to the public as the world’s first superhero.
FINALLY! The Perfect Mask...
I got this from Spirit Halloween and painted it a golden yellow color I got from Lowe's conveniently next door. I think it is a major improvement over the other mask I had. What do you guys think?

Villains: Prankster (Jonathan Lincoln)
Jonathan was born into a wealthy family that owned a very successful toy company. Despite his parents loving children, they were rarely ever around to give their son any attention. Starved for attention, Jonathan started to pull large scale pranks at his school. He didn’t do stupid whoopee cushions, though. He instead took all of the books in the library and hung them from the ceiling, and put dissected frogs into the gelatin salad at the parent-teacher banquet. During his time as the school clown, Jonathan slowly began to grow mentally unstable, as he constantly tried to get bigger and better with his “performance art”. When the day came for the school’s science fair, Jonathan snuck into the school the night before and tampered with the student’s inventions. Everything went according to plan, until it came to the unlimited energy device created by the school’s prodigy student. He didn’t completely understand what he was tampering with, and he accidentally caused it to explode when it was being demonstrated, killing 20 people and setting fire to the auditorium. He was then sent to a mental institution and was promptly disowned by his parents. While in the institution, Jonathan fell into a catatonic state because he was so bored. During a blackout two years later, Jonathan broke out of the asylum thanks to the power outage, and the first thing he did was return home and burn his family’s house down while leaving his parents tied up in the basement. He then went to their toy factory and stole a massive amount of their toys, reverse-engineering them into deadly weapons. Having been inspired by seeing superheroes and supervillains in the outside world, he decided to become a member of this new wave of villains. Directly after the blackout crisis was solved, Prankster made himself known to the citizens of Harking City by embarking on a spree of comedic crime. He robbed a bank and replaced all of the money with Monopoly money, hurled a 50 ft gumball at a candy factory, and switched around all of the street signs. Having shown off his cunning nature, he was approached by Illusionist and asked to join his supervillain team W.A.R, which he gladly accepted.
Katana (Beware The Batman)
I did a few sketches of Katana's original show design. Why not? I do understand why they went with what they made: It's easy to draw and replicate. And it's not bad by any means, just a bit plain. Tatsu has this real elegance to her character, exuding confidence and determination with sprinkles of compassion and wit seen throughout the series. Her completely black design does resemble a ninja, which is how her and Batman are often portrayed as. I just wish her look had more to it, is all.
