HARLEY QUINN TICKLED BY JOKER

Published: November 10th 2024, 5:00:01 am

I have always been a big fan of Batman, although many years ago I knew almost nothing about him, and there are still so many things I want to discover.

As a child I used to watch the cartoon “Batman The animated Series” although I never got to see it all.

Batman has always been my favorite superhero and for the past two months or so I have been loving him even more. For about two months my life has been centered on the Dark Knight because of the new animated series “ Batman Caped Crusader” which has the same writers as the old one from many years ago.

Love has blossomed again and I have been caught up in Batman-mania.

I watched all the old animated series that I had never been able to see and even now it is a masterpiece. I replayed the whole Arkham saga on Playstation all over again, wonderful gameplay and story. I re-read all my old comics and bought new ones. I have seen The Batman movie and am rewatching the old ones. I am following the Gotham series that I had never seen.

In short, as you can see, my life in recent times is all about Batman.

Besides the Dark Knight, my three absolute favorite characters are Joker, Two-Face, and Harley Quinn.

So you can imagine that it was hard for me not to draw a scene with Harley Quinn tickled. She is another one of my waifu.

Harley Quinn is a fantastic character. Anyone who thinks she's just a crazy succubus of the Joker doesn't understand anything about the character. She has a much deeper characterization than you can imagine.

She has been wildly successful in recent years, despite being one of the newer characters, who by the way was born in the old animated series and not in the comics. That's right, Harley Quinn's first appearance is in Batman The animated Series, and even then she was already showing signs of madness, her love for Joker but also her independence.

The last episode of the animated seire is called Mad Love, and it is a wonderful conclusion to the feud between Batman and Joker but also to the relationship between Joker and Harley Quinn.

Very many years later, in 2019, a wonderful comic book was made that takes its cue from that episode. It is called “Harleen,” and it tells in masterful detail the journey of Harley Quinn from the time she was a psychiatrist to the time she went mad.

I was inspired by that comic to make my illustration ( look for images on the internet ) and drew Dr. Harleen Quinzel ( the future Harley Quinn ) tickled by Joker, imprisoned in Arkham and immobilized with a straitjacket. Too exciting.

Of course, even though it was difficult to do, I was not satisfied and created several versions. What an immense amount of work. I hope you enjoy it. I love Harley Quinn, I love her feet, especially when they are white.

The versions are, in order:

- Dr. Harleen Quinzel, inspired design from the above comic book “Harleen”

- Dr. Harleen without glasses

-Dr. Harleen with long hair

- Dr. Harleen with long hair without glasses

- Harley Quinn, as she appears in the last pages of the above-mentioned comic book “Harleen”

- Harley Quinn, com above but without nail polish

- Harley Quinn, design from Batman The Animated Series.

- Harley Quinn, design from Batman The Animated Series without enamel

- Harley Quinn, Margot Robbie

- Harley Quinn, Margot Robbie without nail polish

- Hraley Quinn, Suicide Squad

- Hraley Quinn, Suicide Squad without nail polish

What is your favorite version?
