    Hey all, im Jokerx, simply because Joker's already taken, an avid gamer, not so avid student and fairly new and relatively unskilled in most art forms.

    But i thought i might have a chance here, where i can learn, in my sig is the first thing i made with Photoshop, its not alot, but hopefully with practice, i can turn it into something great.

    Any C&C or if anyone wants to chat

    and yes, i am a batman/dark knight/joker fanboy, i apologise in advance :P

    Welcome aboard :D
    Excellent you chose Ledger's Joker. By far the best one in my opinion :)

    Just read some tutorials, make soms sigs and get comments and critique on them to improve. Apart from that, feel at home ;)

    yeah, ledgers joker was amazing, although i have to confess i've only seen bits of jack nicholsons joker, so the competition isnt really that fair, i certainly plan too, thanks for the warm welcome

    Meh, Nicholson is good, if you haven't seen Ledger.
    But when you compare them, I find Nicholson's a bit over the top, a bit fake actually :)

    Well from what i've heard, during filming, if ledger wasnt in the scene, he would sit in his caravan alone and that he didnt talk to any of the other actors, which i think is a pretty intense way to stay in character, but it obviously worked, his performance is proof of that..

    It's simply said that playing the character 'the joker' isn't good for one's state of mind.
    Nicholson once said so in an interview, right before or right after Ledger died. That one would simplt go a little mad himself when playing such a character...

    @.Water.
    Thanks alot for the credits man, and your free resource pack, which i helped myself too :P

    @Eggman
    Yes i'll be checking out the tut's as soon as i can, as for gaming, I generally play PC games, used to play WoW but stopped because there isnt really anything to do after 80 apart from gearing up.. now i play whatever i can get my hands on, DotA, C&C3, Assassin's Creed, hanging out for KOTOR and D3, a whole range of stuff.

    @SP
    Thats understandable, i once went to a costume party as the joker and tried to act it the whole time, it was fun, but the things you can say or do trying to be the Joker are kind of worrying.

    Thanks for the warm welcome
