'We all float down here!'

I've had so many requests and challenges to draw Pennywise since the updated version of IT was released that I recently gave in and did this charming little (bloody) piece. I don't tend to do a lot of 'fan art' these days, but, I must admit that Bill Skarsgård's version of Pennywise is something pretty appealing to me. Several people have 'challenged' me to make him even creepier, but as I keep saying, it's hard to alter perfection! I see where all this is coming from though. I have kind of earned a reputation for sinister faces, and I do see some of Sweeney in Bill's clown, funnily enough.

By the way, the new Pennywise is one of those characters that I really wish I had designed myself. I absolutely love his washed out, ghostly/bloody palette and that vintage clown outfit is fantastic. I love the Pagliacci quality of it and the borrowing of details through the ages - the Fortuny pleated collar, the puffy shoulders and skirts, the boots, the porcelain gloves... and his crazy red hair, of course. I'm so jealous! Most of all though, I'm obsessed with his eyes. Those big yellow eyes that hint at the Deadlights behind them. I'm already mesmerised.

Anyway, enjoy this painting of a killer clown/entity (and apologies for if any details are off as I worked on this from memory). Also sorry for if it disturbs you. I personally don't have a fear of clowns. I find them neither scary nor funny, so, yeah. Clowns.
