So...many years ago in high school, before we ever even knew each other existed, we each came up with a creepy clown character. Hers was the Klown King and mine was Maychen. We met up in college and decided that the two were made for each other! So, here they are, at long last.
Maychen: She is a botched genetic experiment, designed to be a goddess of Light.
Maychen has no facial features or hair. She eats with her "arms." All she ever wanted was to look pretty and desirable...normal...so she wears a painted mask/headdress, cutesy pink-and-purple outfits, and acts overly feminine and flirty. Maychen's life is ruled by her own fear and own power, making her unpredictable and extremely dangerous.

I have nothing bad what so ever to say about this piece. I think it's stunning! You did so well with the poses of the two characters, their anatomy is well done and she fits well against his body. It seems so natural, yet unnatural at the same time. It took me minute to see it, but the creatures she has for her arms are awesome, I don't think I've ever seen anything like them. This piece shows clowns on a new level for those who view them as being evil rather than cheery fellows. Well done with the spot light as well. The part I would have to say I like best in the entire piece is the background. It so small and set so far back, but you can see every detail in it and see the glow of the lights. it's very hard to get everything to be distinguishable in such a dark atmosphere but you pulled it off very well!

People who wander into her territory. usually weak. Usually male. Although she does take joy in taking down the occasional female soldiers and officers.

It's not very healthy...
But I love her <3 She's my new idol from now on.
DO you plan to do more drawings of her?

In the future yes, maybe even without her costume+mask, but for now I have to get the designs for my other demons done. I still think she's the coolest one though

I love Maychen's arms/face concept. It's really interesting, I'm trying to imagine her without masks and wigs. *shudder* Great work, and I wish I had a clown soulmate like you do.

Thank you! She'd probably look like a really scary mannequin. Maybe I will do a painting of her without her costumes.
