Running out of parrot red is always a concern in the clown business

any C&C would be great :)

I like it much actually. The lightings great. The only thing that I had to take a while to look at was the mass on the right... which I figured out to be some kind of steel parrot? This is probably because the arm blends into it...

Also, I can't really tell off the bat that that guys a clown. Maybe more ruffles on his collar and also those colored ball things they seem to have for buttons that run down the middle of their shirts...

maybe a subtle ... big fat red nose and clown shoes on the table would be interesting....and of course still fresh and dripping with parrot blood?

Didn't you just do some time in the armed forces? What kind of hazing did they do to you?

Seriously though, it is pretty disturbed but in a 'stop - look - and think about it' kind of way. That's a compliment I think.

wigin, i'm trying :) 90% of sketches of people I make suck so bad I don't even want to think about it :P
I think you're right about the blood flowing down, it doesn't follow the form right

eviltoylet, yes it's a robotic parrot. Some backlight would help with defining it better, I see it now. Lol! bloody shoes! I guess I'm not alone here with my issues :P
I think I should've made the makeup look more like stars around the eyes, that should get the point across, or would it :Q

radiater, I figured it's always better to have some idea in the pic, instead of my usual 'look, it's a regular clown just standing there' kind of pics, I'll learn eventually.
And yeah, I'm going to enjoy the comfort of the Finnish Defense Forces for another 88 days, which is kind of a small number, right?

Well, it was a nice visit to sijun, see in a few weeks I guess :]
