Description Mr. Clown, why are you crying?

CLICK HERE TO SEE THE DETAILS

The clown is there to create laughter, to enliven and to entertain. But that does not mean that they cannot feel sadness. At most their gaiety is a mask, a mask they must wear. Because beyond the many masks they must wear is a soul, a human, who is not so different from us.

chu1h4n [2006-04-25 16:04:12 +0000 UTC]

very cool love the concept and execution.. the only complaint i have is that the face paint and the mask is a bit too flat and it looks like u cut and paste on top of the face... maybe a little better curvature? dunno.. just a suggestion

reikavich In reply to chu1h4n [2006-04-25 23:05:07 +0000 UTC]

thanks. I did have a problem with that especially the mask. I could try to spherize it a bit without creating too much distortion---or is the problem with the mask the edge near the nose (too strongly defined?)

chu1h4n In reply to reikavich [2006-04-26 04:05:05 +0000 UTC]

yeah usually masks don't fit perfectly, there's usually more curvature and shadow beneath it too.. so yeah the edge is too strongly defined.. i think.. anyway not really that significant i think though the issue

Sad to think, but you are so right about the emotions of the clown. I'm sure they shed tears just like the rest of us!

I love this: the many faces of a clown and the REAL person behind the makeup and the mask. Very similar sentiment to my own current deviation. Well done!

Can't really say how friggin happy i really am that you used my piece in an ellaborate work. Can't express how it is to see my photos in "stand alone" low quality manips and then looking at this. It may not be my style, but yes, i like it because it has a thought behind it.
*i'll shut up now so that you don't think i'm being rude or something. It's just the way i express my pleased-ness at this hour - 7:34 am. *not shure that is a word thought*
