Btas Scarecrow - Blog Posts
I had a rough week so I just wanted to sit down and sketch some batman characters lol. I don't draw Johnathon that much rip but this is what he looks like in my head, sort of
Here's Scarecrow... I'm not entirely happy with him but I did this in a hurry so he'll have to do lol. I had a weird idea of making have a short pointy hat but like,, the edge functioned like a 40s fedora?? Idk if that actually worked but there you go.
I'm definetely a little obsessed with the relation of old horror movies with the fears of society at that time/the current events they were inspired by, and I tried to design Scarecrow with that in mind. Kind of obviously war in the 40s so I gave him a military inspired trenchcoat, but I also heard a take once that the scarecrow idea represents poverty, raggedy clothes and poor farmers and the like, and the Great Depression was fresh in the back of everyones minds at this point. Rationing during the war as well!! I'm using my last brain cell to write this so I hope this makes sense lol. That's it bye :)
happy Halloween!!!! Here's the sketch for the vintage scarecrow design I did since I don't have the finished product to offer lol
