I watched the new season of Harley Quinn recently, and it got me in the mood to dust off some old sketches I did for the series. Harley and Batgirl have a cute dynamic in this show, and it developed further in the new season, so I inked and colored this drawing I did a while back. I think I’d like to draw more of this pairing eventually. My favorite Batgirl is still B:TAS, but I like this version a lot, too.
One of the first SFM compilations I ever wanted to do was this one, and I finally got around to it. The title of this one is “classic” Harley Quinn because the clips used to make this music video feature her exclusively in her original costume. This is my favorite look for Harley, but maybe some day I’ll try making another one using her more modern design.
I really loved working on this pic, it provided a great opportunity to experiment with light sources and limited lighting. Whether my experimentation turned out good results is for you to decide, but I’m quite happy with it.
There was some confusion on my part in coloring this. You see, DTiberius always uses direct references for his backgrounds, and I knew from experience that I would be able to find this exact skyline somewhere in Batman: The Animated Series. Well, I re-watched the entire series, but couldn’t even find the Wayne building featured. I shrugged and used other building colors to do the skyline, only to later be informed by DT himself that the background here is from DCU Online, not the show that the characters are done in the style of. Well, we had a good laugh and I recolored it. Cool story, huh?
