Harley Quinn - DADDY’S FAVORITE REBEL. Tribute to Artgerm / Bazal. 16.54 x 23.62 in

“Born to break the rules.”

This illustration captures Harley Quinn, the iconic anti-heroine from DC Comics, in a vibrant and stylized reinterpretation that radiates charm, rebellion, and playful danger. Rather than emphasizing madness or violence, the composition focuses on charisma and controlled seduction. Harley turns toward the viewer with a confident smirk, forming a subtle hand gesture near her face, while the bold “Daddy’s Lil Monster” typography anchors her identity within contemporary pop culture mythology.

Created by Angel Bazal as a tribute to the celebrated artist Artgerm, the piece embraces a polished, high-fashion aesthetic while preserving Harley’s mischievous spirit. The bright pink star-patterned background frames her figure with graphic clarity, enhancing the pop-art energy of the composition. The carefully balanced anatomy, luminous skin rendering, and expressive blue eyes draw immediate attention to her gaze, creating an intimate connection between character and viewer. The reinterpretation feels modern, elegant, and confident—less chaotic frenzy, more controlled attitude.

Executed in markers and Indian ink, at a format of 16.54 x 23.62 in ( 60 x 42 cm ), the artwork showcases refined blending techniques and precise line control. The Indian ink provides clean structural definition and crisp contours, while the markers deliver smooth color transitions, subtle gradients, and luminous highlights. The hair, in particular, demonstrates careful layering of tones, giving it dimensionality and movement. The overall finish reflects a deliberate fusion of comic-book energy and illustration realism, honoring Artgerm’s influence while maintaining Bazal’s distinctive graphic strength and clarity.
