Description What a pity for Erliot the clown,
He was as pretty as he was down.
---
edit: sari texture [link]
drew this sometime back but never got to posting it to DA.
black and white version here > art tumblr
I want to make a comic about clowns.
there will be three of them.

Pingle, Erliot, and Rottie.

Pi.Er.Rot.

This one is probably going to be Erliot, the perpetually depressed one.

Thank you for looking !

Haha, I do enjoy having silly little ditties swim around in my head, and if applicable, I associate them with a character

thank you so much ! I wanted to attempt one of those..."liney" things haha. I enjoy seeing other artist who do detailed lines,I think it adds a lot of atmosphere, so I wanted to try that : D

Well you're very good at it, haha! Did you enjoy it or did you find it tiresome and repetitive? Everyone has a different opinion, which I find interesting. I love doing detailed linework as much as I love looking at it!

haha, well- admittedly I think it's pretty fun to do ~ ! I can get very absorbed in lines, and I think it's somewhat therapeutic, haha. In all honesty I would love to incorporate this into comics ; D

All the influences you stated are very interesting, I also like to draw things like that, haha. I think there is a strange beauty to circuses and carnivals.

ooooh, i'm looking forward to this comic~ anything relating to circuses always interests me!
i like the black and white version more though because of the emphasis on the red and the depiction of the mood,
but it looks just as nice in color too~ ^^

airahnn In reply to shiiso-tikku [2012-01-27 10:54:56 +0000 UTC]

yes, I find them so fascinating as well! And I've always toyed around the idea of drawing clowns, haha. I know; I sort of prefer the b/w version too, but I couldn't really decide which one looks better, so I posted the colour version here to gauge people's reaction

thank you !
this is actually regular pen work, which I then scanned and coloured using Photoshop. The "sparkling lines" is the effect of using varying types of colours/textures. I simply overlayed and multiplied them over and over each other. After all is done, I readjusted the colours using hue/saturation. Mostly increased saturation and contrast to make the textures stand out.
