Is this Manci, Version.... god, what number am I at at this point? How many times HAVE I redesigned Manci!?

The trouble I've run into now sense Manci's creation is that I just can't decide on how she looks and thus, I redesign her for 1 of 2 reasons: 1 - A new idea/design comes along and I want to give it a try. 2 - There is nothing to stop me from redesigning her except my own will (which is now very weak when I have no other excuse other then 'she looks fine like this')

I've recently, after a long and drawn out brain storming session with , considered that one of the issues I might have been suffering from is that I haven't made a massive attempt to redesign her character sense the attempt to make her a werewolf, and only reason I gave up on that idea was it was around the time Twilight was starting to pop up along with all the other 'werewolf vs vampire' stuff and it just lost its appeal to me. But continuing on, I realized that, no matter what, I usually kept these 4 things when I drew her:

- A forced smile from stitches.
- The light blue skin.
- The dark green hair with a tuft of bright green hair in the front.
- Keeping her eyes hidden.

So I decided I'd try to change atleast two of the four. When trying to come up with what to theme the new redesign, I kept coming back to clown, most likely cause of a clown kick I've been on sense new years. This was my end result. While I kept a blue tint to the skin, it's nearly white now, the mouth has markings for a forced smile, the hair in the back is a much brighter green and added more color to her hair, and really the only untouched part is that you still can't see her eyes. Whether she's a clown zombie or not is still up for debate.

For now, I'm just going to let this image set over night and come back to it later to see if I still like it. That's usual how I do all my character redesigns. I might alienate some people who like her zombie design if I do decide to make this how she looks from now on but dangit, I have to try! For the sake of creativity, I must!

+++Character Details+++

So far, as far as backstory, I'm kind of guessing something along the lines of working or forced to join an assassins group that uses the clown motif to hide in plain sight, a carnival/circus (No weirder then ninja's hiding in the Ninja District in the old TMNT cartoon) aswell as surprise/confuse there opponents with there strange appearance (who'd think a clown be a killer... besides clown-o-phobia patients anyways...). Again, whether she's a clown zombie is still in the air for now though there are two or three ideas if I did do that...

Part of the clown redesign was from an idea I got that the belt Manci has allows her to turn into three different forms, though I only have one of those things at the moment, which is a motorcycle. Notice her shoes? They'd become the back wheel while her hands would fuse and become the front wheel before she makes a full change. Again, don't have ideas yet for the other two forms. Why did she need to be a clown to use those ideas? I felt the premise of someone becoming a vehicle was a bit on the comical side, as most car TFs I've seen have at one point these over sized eyes and large mouths and somehow I felt that being a clown would make it all the more funny.

Clothing wise, I'd considered something akin to the clothing I had for her in the New Year's pic... but that be a little risque for if I was to make her a main story character while she looked like this. So I did some DA Catalog shopping for outfit designs and eventually came to this. I kept the suspenders souly so she could pull Macgyver tricks with them like using it for bungee cord while, for risque DA images, could wear souly the suspenders. And naturally, sense she's a clown and pretty decent in hand-to-hand, I did make all her clothing elastic so she could easily move in combat.
