Let me show you my old and new attempts to draw my oc William :_)

I still didn't figure out how to draw him. In this frames, he is either kid or a teen

I'm so shy about these crooked drawings

[AU: Joker's son]

(VERY) Short scene: "Penguin"

William was ten years old then. He had been getting used to his weird father's "quirks" for a year already. He didn't hate the Joker yet. He hadn't opened his eyes to the situation, which was actually terrifying.

It was a cloudless night in Gotham. Joker took the boy to an unknown place, answering with sing-song, "You'll see~" on William's each "Where are we going?"

As they wete approaching the building with the blue glowing sign "Iceberd Lounge," William asked nervously, "Are you sure I'm allowed there, sir?..." Joker didn't answer, and then the boy added, "Mom said I shouldn't be outside this late."

Joker sighed with irritation, then forced a grin. "Your mother wasn't very smart, kiddo. I am with you! Of course you're allowed." Then he put his finger against his mouth and said, "Now shush! I'll introduce you to someone."

***

William felt dizzy and small in this weird place full of adults. Joker led him to one table while cheering and greeting someone he knew, but for boy, they all were strangers. Soon, he saw a round man with a sharp big nose and an old-fashioned black suit who was sitting at the table with other people. On the table, everyone had glasses of something that William couldn't recognize.

"Oh, Pengy, long time no see!" Joker said way too loudly. Penguin turned his head towards him, then lowered his gaze as he noticed a kid.

"Don't tell me you stole him." Oswald said, looking unimpressed.

"No, why?" He cackled, "It's my son – Billy! Say hello!"

William looked up. The boy felt out of place. There was too loud. Strange people who surrounded that weird looking man looked scary as they laughed.

"Hello?" The kid muttered.

Penguin turned to Joker with a raised eyebrow. "Is it your new twisted game?"

"Of course not. It's my blood and flesh!" His tone turned michevious. "Doesn't he look like me?" Joker grinned, lazily shoving William on the back to make him come closer to Penguin.

"..." Oswald looked down at the boy but said nothing. He rubbed the bridge of his nose, "Not really. I just don't understand..."

"Don't understand what?" Joker asked, mimicking the "serious" tone of another villain.

"Why the hell do you need him?! Decided to play dad?... What's the point?"

"Oh, haha... There's no point... At all! You see–"

***

William stood stiffly on the exact same spot. He didn't like the weird smell of adults' drinks just how he didn't like their loud voices. He actually felt like dozing off, so he didn't listened to conversations. It was late.

(PS: may continue this scene later. )

[AU: Joker's son]

Short scene: "Bird"

(PS: Dick is around 15 by this timeline)

It was William's thirteenth birthday. And a day after, his father gave him a present:

"You're a big boy, Billy... A teenager! So I thought you could go for a walk now!" Joker exclaimed solemnly, looking down at his spawn. He threw him a folding knife, "Have fun!"

William almost caught it, but it slipped down pit of his sweaty hands. Joker just laughed at that.

Night. William was eager to get out and walk beyond the warehouse area. The cool and fresh air hit his face. An unusual feeling, as if he was doing something wrong, but his father allowed it. He walked out of warehouse territory. The boy hesitated but then climbed up the fire escape and went out onto the roof. The view was even better: Gothic buildings, the lights are dimmer in some places, brighter in others. Most of the city was sleeping...

But suddenly, he heard someone's steps. William turned his head towards the sound, "Who- Who is it?!" He panicked. Who could be on the roof at this time?

But then he saw another teen in a ridiculous bright costume and domino mask. He looked older. William squinted his eyes. Then he realized: it's Robin. The father told him his "greatest enemy" has a sidekick.

"Well, that's a good start for conversation, huh?" The teen smiled slightly. He didn't look afraid, unlike William, just confused and concerned at the same time.

"What are you doing here so late, buddy?" He stepped closer. The boy in front of him looked skinny, his black hair hadn't been cut for a long time, his grey eyes didn't express malice, but rather fear, which he tried to hide. His clothes were worse, they were either too big, or his shoes looked like he'd bought them in the children's department.

William frowned, he yelled, wanting to seem more intimidating but sounded unsure instead. "Stay away!" He pulled out his folding knife. Robin lifted his hands in "surrender"

"Wow, wow. Where did you get it?" He looked even more concerned. Was that boy homeless? Did he escape from somewhere? Where did he get a weapon?

"It's none of your business, freak." William hissed, bracing himself, "Go away." He said, but his voice was shaky.

"Okay- okay." Robin muttered. However, he wasn't going to leave it just like that. "I'll leave... See?" He stepped back, closer to the edge of rooftop.

William sighed heavily. The stress made his breath uneven.

The teen left, like he promised. William stayed there, putting his knife back in his pocket.

Rewatching "Batman: The Animated Series" rn. I literally cried over the intro. I don't know why :_)))

[AU: Joker's son]

Scene: "Meet Rody"

Three years of living with him. The Joker.

William was already twelve years old. He was surrounded by criminals, yet he felt lonely. Of course he did. The kid his age needed a real friend, not whatever he had.

Joker didn't allow William to go outside. Obviously, he didn't want someone to notice a starving, messy-haired boy in mismatched clothes. It will cause problems that he didn't want.

Often, he even locked William in his "room", that actually was a cubby inside the warehouse, just with bed in it.

One day

The boy was sitting in his room, trying to play with old-looking toys his father brought from somewhere (probably dumpster or abandoned house), but he was bored. Suddenly, he heard a sound that broke the silence of the room. It made him shudder.

Squeak

William turned his head towards noise and saw a little rat in the corner of the tiny room. The boy got curious and carefully moved closer. "Well, hi..." he whispered, wanting not to scare the rat. The small smile spread on his face.

The rat looked back at him while sniffing. Then, William was close enough and caught the smaller creature.

Sqeak-squeak

The boy looked at a small, gray rat. His eyes narrowed, but his smile stayed in its place.

"Don't be scared..." The boy hummed, "Uh, I should let you go...?"

As he unclenched his hands and the rat ran away. William sighed, "Okay, it was dumb..."

Day after

As William was spending a night in his room again, he heard very familiar bruxing. When he walked towards the sound, he found that rat again.

William was afraid that the rat would do a fade again. He pulled out the small piece of bread he got today and carefully threw it to the rat.

It sniffed the treat and took it, running away.

Few days later

William fed the rat whenever he could. When he had some food of his own. One day, the rat finally trusted him and stayed with him in the room. The boy felt nervous, afraid that he would destroy the trust without realizing it. Days and weeks passed, and the boy finally became friends with the rat. They met each other at night, when his father didn't care about William the most – the Joker was busy with making plans or doing crime.

William chuckled quietly at rat who was sniffing his hand. He whispered, "So... We're buds, but you don't know my name. I don't think that's right..." The boy stroked the rat as he used to pet cats. "I'm William."

The rat, obviously, didn't say anything back.

William thought for a moment and said, "Will you mind if I give you a name?"

The rat squeaked.

"Well, I will take it as yes." William murmured, "From now... Your name is.... umm... Rody." He exclaimed cheerfully.

(PS: Sorry if there are grammatical mistakes here)

[Warning! Animal violence]

Scene: "Rody the rat"

[William is 12 years old]

Night. The rain beat on the roof, creating a continuous knock. William was sitting in his tiny room with his pet rat and new friend — Rody. The grey dirty rodent was eating the piece of bread that William brought him.

Suddenly, the door handle to William's room began to move. The boy flinched, trying to hide Roddy, but it was too late — his father entered the room, and a second later grinned.

"Oh, what do we have here?" – Joker said, in a mocking-sweet voice. "Billy, don't tell me it's your new buddy?" The clown bursts into laughing. "Oh, isn't that cute?"

William panicked. His whole body felt stiff like he couldn't move. "Father, I-" He stumbled over words. It was difficult to speak. "D-Don't touch Rody."

Joker barked out a laugh after hearing that, "You gave it name?". He took the squealing rat in his hands. His voice lowered to hushed, amused whisper. However, William heard disgust in his father's tone. Like he was mad.

"I bet you care about it a lot, huh? So sentimental..." The green-haired man's eyes narrowed as he grinned wickedly. His hands clenched around the rat even more, which made an animal squeal out of pain. "Don't you know it's dangerous to be sentimental in our world, Billy?"

William wanted to say something, wanted to run and take his pet back, to stop his father. The young boy's hands trembled as he couldn't move an inch like the fear paralyzed his body.

"You know what a cruel world we live in? How vicious everyone is, if you give them free rein?..." He sounded angrier, making William shudder. His whisper turned into hiss, as if with each word, it was harder for him to continue speaking and not break down. To endure for the sake of the "performance" to be successful.

"So by showing "kindness" or whatever your dear mother taught you, you make yourself look weak. You're weak if you believe in kindness, Billy..." His expression turned maliously amused, "Haha, who would have thought..." he shook his head.

When William wanted to respond, Joker stretched out his hands so that the boy could see everything and twisted the rat's neck. Drops of blood flowed onto the floor, and the pet rat fell on the same floor afterward. William's eyes widened. Hee wanted to scream but couldn't. Tears involuntarily flowed down his cheeks.

"I think you learned your lesson, haha... well..." He rubbed his chin as if nothing happened, "What did I come for? You know, you better sit in your room and think carefully, son." Joker chuckled as he turned "dad" voice.

It was nothing more than a game for him. He didn't even take the "education" of his son very seriously.

William had a long, sleepless night. He was lying in the bed, in the same room with his dead pet.

AU: Joker's son; part 2

[PS: You'll have to read the first part to get the whole point, but in short: AU where Jeannie (Joker's ex-wife who was pregnant, also) didn't die and gave birth to a boy named William. After a few years (Joker already became a known villain), Joker found out and took his son away]

William (8-9 years old) will be shattered: he used to have a stable life, a loving mother, and a home. Everything for a happy life (except father, of course).

And now he lives in some dumb, dirty warehouse among strangers (Joker's henchmen). The boy was very confused: "Where is my mom?", "Is this man really my dad?"

Joker would hide some aspects of how William ended up here, keeping him oblivious of how he killed his mother (sorry if it's too cliché but Joker could to that).

Joker would feed William when he is in a good mood. He may forget about his son's existence time by time. William would have sleepless night, thinking about his new life and mother, wondering if he would wake up in his warm home after this nightmare. However, it never happened.

William will grow, moving from one warehouse to another. He will miss his mom, but also his old school friends, his old life, but will believe his father does no harm.

(Jeannie hid every piece of information about William's father. They lived in the quietest outskirts of the city. She also kept him "safe" from media, so I doubt 8-9 years old boy knew how Joker looked. Maybe he heard some rumors from his classmates, but he didn't think much of it)

But with time going, he will feel more and more detached from his father and the rest of the world. William almost never came out of his room. But as he grows up (10-12 years old) Joker will show him to another criminals, as a punchline (not villain/sidekick name, just Joker tells a joke and pulls out his son like it's funny :_) ). With it, William starts "socializing" with criminals, villains, and maybe henchmen. Others will start calling him "Joker's brat," and he will go with it (since only a few people remember his name). William will get along with some people, not much with others, and he will be afraid of others.

Joker will start involving him in his deeds, forcing him to kill someone. It will make William scared of his father even more. The boy would hate to do it, but he does because he is driven by fear.

(PS: it's not the end, I will continue this AU. I hope at least somebody notices, haha)

[mioliaa]

AU: Joker's son; part 1

So, recently, I came up with an AU related to the "Batman: The Killing Joke" comic. In the comic, Jack Napier agrees to guide two criminals through the chemical plant where he previously worked so that they can rob the company next to it because he wanted to help his pregnant wife. But he was informed that his wife and unborn child died in an accident (in canon)...

Batman: The Killing Joke - Wikipedia

So I thought... What if his wife and unborn child didn't die, and that information turned out to mistake before Jack (now Joker) knew it and his wife and baby (in my au: son) were alive? The rest of the plot happened, yes, and all these years (8-9 while Joker was gaining reputation in the criminal world). Joker really believed his pregnant ex-wife died.

Jeannie (Joker's ex-wife) gave birth to a boy named William Napier, while she tried to find her husband, but by that time, he was considered "missing in action." After a few years, she saw the news about Joker and recognized her ex-husband. After that, she decided to hide their child from him. But after these 8-9 years, Joker found out (didn't think about it much, sorry) that his ex-family were alive and lived hiding from him. He assumed it was funny/ironical and wanted to "visit" them. I guessed Joker liked the idea of having mini-him and an heir so his chaos will continue even after he dies (but lowkey, he also doesn't want his sin to take the lightspot yet he says nothing of it).

So, Joker found them and took William (who was around 9 by that time) away and killed his ex-wife (William didn't witness it)

Joker lied to his son about his mother leaving him – saying that now he will stay with "father." After that, William lives in one of Joker's warehouses.

But it's only the backstory :^)

Trying digital after a long time. Had 0 fun drawing Jason (because I drew him with my finger on Ibis Paint)

There, in two variants. It's not even as good as I wanted it to be, but hey, I'll gain skill

(I drew this shit for 2 days... )

[mioliaa]

My oc Vita is in my disorganized doodles. I'm kinda shy to share with it ^^"

One day at school, I and my pal made doodles of a girl with weird hair that reflected her emotions. Well, and after many changes, that girl turned to an unknown creature (monster? She tries to be human-like and mimics/mocks them) named Vita. And mostly, I drew her when I was bored and had too empty pages in my sketchbook...

I will share more lore if you're interested <3

[mioliaa]

My random old sketches, sorry if quality is bad :_)

[mioliaa]

Do they look similar, huh? I drew Regina from Romance Club :^)

[mioliaa]

Omg, that was one of my first attempts to draw Jason, I'm sorry. He is so crooked (and thin???why did I draw him so thin?...) I want to cry X)

I feel very awkward and shy but I think I'll post it here...
