Description
Except he aint no ones fool! He's the kind of jester whose always happy...in a twisted evil kind of way. Hes both acrobatic and a master at playing spades! His weakness though? PATIENCE! Whenever he performs an act, everyone applauds him even if they don't want to! The mysterious ability of his scepter is quite good at influencing minds......oh, and his favorite holiday is mardi gras lolDone from a grayscale base, then added color. Can view an earlier version of the grayscale here: sta.sh/024qyyy5tkdi
EDIT - I was going to do a close up shot of his face but since he is my avatar, you can view it there.
All done in Photoshop CC using Intuos Medium, around 15 hours total and tons of research! Hope you like

The clown effectively pops out, so consider that a job well done! And by that I mean the way you colored it, it makes him pop out.

The colors was the hardest part of the whole thing >_<, aside from the design. I wasn't too fond of how many medieval jesters wore red and green color schemes. Its not bad but its not that interesting IMO, so I decided to change it to a split complimentary color scheme (yellow-purple and blue) rather than complimentary. The green came in because it felt like the most interesting color to try and contrast him from the background, that and I just like green XD, but yeah I am glad you liked it

- ♣ Is the light fine ? Yes
- ♣ Does it look dynamic ? In sort of but not totally
- ♣ Does the background look fine ? Well, for me it's an abstract BG so I don't have a lot of things to say on it, it just suit with the character

Aah thanks for the critique. I was attempting to make the design the main focus of the piece and it seems I did my job for the most part ^_^. The backgrounds though.....still an issue for me but I am working on it.

Nah, they were originally going to be some type of plush material for comfort, but deciding to get rid of them because they didn't look all that great.

He has a Loki vibe to him, but reminds me a lot of Shaco from League Of Legends. Maybe you can get Mark Hamill to do some voice over work for this guy too :3 Overall, I forgot the proper name, but in the gray-scale form, I thought the collars on his jacket were apart of his hair! Nice shadow work on the ground too. Sometimes, people over look to small things. I myself tend to forget to add that.
