I Think I'm Going to Cry!!!

---

So, my boyfriend loves the joker. and Christmas is coming up, so I thought "hmm... im going to be really sentimental and paint him a picture of Joker"...I just showed his friend, and he said he probably wont like it, because its not the same animation as what he likes apparently.. I feel like shit. Heres the convo... Bob says:I think the other painting would have been better >> Ashley I put two different pics together.Bob says:You know how much he likes the killing joke versionBob says:Yours is sorta like the arkham asylum versionbob says:With the long face>> Ashley what about it?bob says:it looks like poo>> Ashley ...Bob says:lawl bob says:That version of the jokerbob says:not ur painting>> Ashley if he doesnt like it, then fuck it. he can paint his own. if its gonna be that particular..>> Ashley I like the angle on the one i did XDbob says:If I pay you to make me a painting of lobo and baraka or glacius and sub-zero or something, I sure hope you don't make a painting of a pink unicorn and be like "fuck it, make your own painting, psh...">> Ashley well no, but i didnt paint a picture of a unicorn. lol Heres a link to my painting. YSOSRS? Now I feel that if he says he likes it, hes lying I think I really fucked up here. I can never do anything right... Can I have opinions please. I was soo looking forward to giving this to him. and his friend wanted to see what it looked like, and he said it looked good, but it could have been better. its like a slap in the face.and please, dont be rude about this to me. if you have nothing nice to say, dont bother.

I think it's a nice painting... The thought and effort and that it's a personal gift should make it special.. The friend is just being a dick and even if it's not your BF's "favorite" version, I think he would still appreciate and love it.

That's a badass painting. If your boyfriend doesn't want it, I'd gladly take it off his hands. He should appreciate that you put so much effort into it. It looks great.

Thanks guys. I myself am pretty pleased with how it turned out, but I dont want my boyfriend to say he likes it, but not actually like it like... if i had balls, it feels like i just got kicked in them.

well, first of all it's a good painting.
Sure, there are many renderings of the character but if your b/f is a real fan, he should appreciate the various versions.
I think he will love it. His favorite character painted by his favorite girl... you should not worry at all.

bob is talking out his ass and is probably just jealous

i have no idea if hes jealous or what. But either way, it hurt. I talked to one of Stephens friends (his sisters bf) and he helped me a lot. but like.. im soo critical of myself, so if i hear it sucks, im convinced it does. so thats what im afraid of now. that he'll really like it, but i dont believe him.

WOW! Ashley! That's a FANTASTIC painting! You're really talented!Seriously, screw what your friend says, I'm positive your bf will love it! How long did that take you?

Thank you.well I started it around 7 pm. I drew it on the canvas then layered it with paint. I never finished until around 2 am.By the way, the painting is 16" x 20"

That is a great painting! i'm sure your bf will love it. After all your the one that made it.:)

that pisses me off alot! WTF When I first saw it i was like WOW.. Shes amazing.. so talented.

Howdy!Hafta say, the painting is fantastic at least from my point of view, I have lots of characters that I like out of books/VG's/films etc, and if my lovely lovely lady were kind enough to paint me one of them, I would love it, irrespective of whether it be my favorite rendering or not, it would be more the point of: A: it would be an awesome paining, B: it would be from the woman I love!!I really agree with what everyone here is saying... Bob is just being petty and jealous, there's no need for that kinda carry on, so what I reckon is, next time, just ask us eh Also, you should make more and sell them on e-bay or something... you'd make a mint!!catch you laters,MD

thats friggin sweet, id say paint another just like it and shove it up bobs ass.

as an artist i;ll tell you this.. that's a cool pice of work! I personalily like the way you have him kinda turned back.. all i would sudgest is makign his glove a little darker. see he;s all dark but his hand is brighter.. i;d make it darker and but a little light hint on his and on the edge of his coller. i think the top of the cloudes smudge black should be more like the black mark/smudges around his hand. i dk.. maybe your not completly done yet. *please don;t take that in a hurtful way... it's just sudgestions...or i guess you can call.. what i would do. haha now about this guy being dumb.. abously he don't get art! shannon loves anything i do for her, even when i hate it. we have ran around the house cuz she's chasing me down cuz i don't want her to see somthing i drew cuz i hate it so much and she loves it. give the art to your guy... fuck what the other guy thinks.

i like it, im sure he will too.tell your friend to stop hating

would you ever consider painting a comic book version of the super villan that is me?

Fuck the friend. Your man'll like cause his girl did it for him.
