Anarky was a character I was stoked to draw, he's my third favorite Batman villain, believe it or not. So designing him was not hard at all because I simply love his classic design to where it didn't need to be altered in any significant way other than how it looked. And for that, I based Anarky off of V from V for Vendetta, one of my favorite movies of all time. There's not really much to say here, other than when you look at V from the movie and this Anarky side by side, they're basically copies of one-another, Anarky is just pinkish red with the giant A on his chest. I might make a cosplay of this Anarky one day but that will be at a later date... 'Remember, remember, the Fifth of November.'
Deacon Blackfire, like a lot of these other designs, went through some changes. Originally I was going to go for the exaggerated pope robes and have them be big and wavy, hell I even had one of my old reference photos be Asuka from Guilty Gear - STRIVE - But the more I drew a lot of the other designs before Blackfire, Timeless Batman and Gotham were beginning to take its shape and I realized that maybe that wasn't the way to go, maybe Blackfire should be a different type of preacher. I rememer watching a lot of the Behind the Scenes work on BTAS and TNBA, in this case the latter and Bruce Timm described designing Scarecrow with western preacher clothes... And then I remembered how Father Gascoigne from Bloodborne looked, so combining those two ideas I was able to craft this Deacon Blackfire to fit the Timeless Gotham aesthetic! That's all there is to say, since this is a very basic design as it is. What you see is what you get!
A lot of these villains are pretty serious in their own rights so I wanted to really dig deep and get someone who would be a good joke villain, but nothing ridiculous like Kite-Man or Crazy Quilt... And I always had a love for Lord Death Man!!! (the exclamation marks are necessary whenever you say his name). A bit of this look was obviously taken from his robed appearances in the comics, but also from Ghostface, believe it or not. I was going to give him a Ghostface looking mask but make it skull-like, but I felt the decal on the hooded piece just looked better. One a side note I also saw this after I finished this design, but when you look at Lord Death Man!!!... He has the exact color scheme of Lord Garmadon from Ninjago, which was not intentional at all, but now that I see it, I'll role with it as an inspiration! Also, yes he is an actual skeleton man, and yes he does have his moments of being a badass but he's relatively simple to defeat. He's like a Saturday morning villain.
This batch of villains were all essentially cult leaders, so I figured I'd throw Lady Arkham here as well. Not really much in the way of design changes minus a different approach to the outfit with the majority of the costume being a straight jacket rather than the leatherbound outfit L.A. sported in the Telltale games. I based the straight jacket look off of one of Scarecrow's designs from Batman Begins and went from there, and polearm is also a different design but that was just me drawing it without much care to simply copy the Telltale design. As long as it has that concussive ball of death on the top, it's the Lady Arkham staff. You also might notice that this Lady Arkham is actually Jeremiah Arkham; in the lore he would go crazy as one does in the Arkham family, especially after getting closer to the revelation of Hugo Strange's true allegiance and the use of Arkham Asylum, there may have been some good in Jeremiah, but none of it mattered now as he made this crusade and cult of prisoners who have been experimented by Strange to rise up against the corruption of Gotham and to tear it out by the roots, it's a changed up version of the plot from Telltale, minus a lot of the key elements... But to be fair, it'd be cheating if it was an exact copy.
