Villains: King Ace (Adrien Halbert)
Adrian is the son of a family of wealthy British nobles who was the black sheep of his bloodline. His family utterly despised him for his love of literature and music, often abusing him for his intelligence. Eventually, the abuse led to Adrian becoming a sadistic psychopath and murdering his family in return. After that, he left the manor and started an anarchic biker gang, one that spread chaos and death wherever they went. Adrian isn’t doing this for money or any physical reward, for the most part. He’s doing it simply because he loves to do wrong, and sees an artistic light to it. The man’s a sadist, plain and simple, but what’s so unsettling is how much he enjoys what he does. The smile on his face is pure delight, he is in heaven. To him, causing chaos and misery is like reaching Nirvana on a roller coaster, and he loves every second of it. He speaks very fluently, using a mixture of high society and street vernacular. He’s obviously the most intelligent out of his group, and often conducts his crimes as if they were a symphony, and every person and object were his instruments. He sees himself as something of a performer, or an artist.

The Coat
Thanks to my shipment being delayed, this coat I ordered to go with my Anarky costume didn't show up until seven days later. But I suppose "Better Late than Never" applies. Now you get to see what my other plan for my costume is. What do you think?
Big Head/The Mask
I recently began reading The Mask Comics series and fell in love with it. It inspired me to draw the titular character, fusing aspects of both the movie and comic design. How does it look?
Who here saw the CW Gotham Knights trailer and felt their inner Batman fan die a little? Harvey Dent, Stephanie Brown, and Harper Row deserve so much better.
