Fear of Compassion

Description

Jonathan Crane aka The Scarecrow and Becky Albright, from DC's comic Mistress of Fear.

***

(The story was about the Scarecrow attempting to break a young girl who refused to be intimidated by him, in the process discovering she shares the same innermost fear as him, being tormented and rejected.

When he offers Becky a chance to join him, she refuses and he is of course defeated by the Batman.)

***

A scene they didn't show in the comic was the space of time in between him being caught and being sent to the asylum. I think he must have been broken at this point, knowing he was about to be tossed back to the wolves and still feeling the sting of rejection. :(

Becky never saw his unmasked face, I think that seeing its emotions of fear and quite frankly its ugliness would have stirred a feeling of compassion towards him. A frightening thing to to feel about your enemy.

This picture is for =mushi6618's Becky Albright contest, and boy did I enjoy making it. It's the most complicated thing I've done recently! :heart:

Line art done in pencil and inked, including all the black areas. Scanned and coloured up in Photoshop, special thanks to *crazysweety for a few tips! :love:
