Description
made this especially for cos she loves clowns as much as i do....originaly had a putrid orange and green striped background, but she convinced me that i should take it a step further, and make a curtain or spotlight effect......so, since she's smart, and usually knows what she's talking about i gladly agreed....
photoreference taken from 'howdy doody's x-mess album'
created entirely in illustrator
yay...........vectorizations
**now with watermarks for my protection****
****EDITUS*****
i just realized that this piece recieved a Daily Dev.....and I"m stunned, and I don't know what to say, except for thank you to all the people who nominated it, and thank you to for featuring it

I also love clowns, I specially like sad clowns, the clowns who make others happy at the price of their own sorrows.
My friend, you really need to see this Movie - [link]
Mera Naam Joker means I am Joker, or My name is Joker in english.
And REMEMBER, you need to get that movie with english/your preferred language subtitles. Make it SURE before you buy.
If you dont find it at local store, you will find it on amazon.com, also I will say that you first read about it, and if that interests you, only than you should invest your two~three hours watching it.
You will break into tears watching this, its my guarantee, you have to accomodate few minor things since this is an indian movie, apart, this is a classic.
Ahan, one song of this movie translates as:
Here we live, Here we die, where else we can go?
Whenever you want to, call us!
we are always here, as we were.
This, my song, will be performed again,
by somebody else (which I am doing)
Tomorrow, someone else will come to please the world
A new joker, in a different costume.
Here is the Hell and here is Paradise, where else we can go?
Tomorrow, may us remain, or not in the game
But the stars will always remain in the skies
We will forget, so will you
But our remains will last
Here we live, Here we die, where else we can go?
I am no english poet to translate it any better, hope you get the idea.

I didn't know that this piece had received a DD and (sadly) have to say hadn't seen it till today. The thing is I don't like clowns -sorry :blush- but you've done a marvelous rendition in illustrator. (When I grow up I want to be like you 
Really I came here to give you a big hug for including me among your friends

the watermark is disgusting...
it would take me under 30mins to remove it completely so i dont see the point why you destroyed it this way.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
sorry you don't like it....but....i do...
it's too bad that we have to put watermarks on our work...but i guess that's the way it goes.....
should anybody feel the need to mess around with it....yeah, i guess it can be taken off....but then again....let them try to emulate my work...and they will find that it will never happen as they would like.....
thanks for your comment though
👍: 0 ⏩: 1

I just started using Illustrator and I have realized how hard it is to use. Goodness. Snaps to you. Round of applause. Standing Ovation. All that jazz.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i've only been using illustrator for about 9 months....yeah, it is very intimidating at first, but the more you play with it, the more you see how much things make sense.....and it becomes way friendlier to you.....
i've had the most problems with using the pen tool......it's alot like the photoshop pentool, but way more sensitive....believe me, there has been lots of hair pulling at times....
thank you very much for your comment, i really appreciate it......
allow me to insert a shameless plug......
should you wish to learn more about illustrator and recieve proper advice and tips and stuff...
feel free to come to our forum 'utopia"
[link]
we're one of the fastest growing illustrator (and other programs and art types) forums around right now....
and you are guaranteed to have your questions answered....

Illustrator hates me. Even my professor told me that. He then laughed and told me to keep up on it.
Well, ok, illustrator hates me because the pen tool hates me. 
I just can't make things realistic with it! I've tried; it's hard.
Haha yay for shameless pluggage.
I'll hafta check it out!
Thanks!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah, the pen takes a bit of getting used to.....it's very sensitive, and can be abit tempermental...
illustrator doesn't hate you though......it just pretends to, to see how much you'll get intimidated.....
i had uninstalled it, until i saw a piece of work from my friend who i did this pic for, and it gave me motivation to continue with it.....and we both learned it together.....
shameless plugs are good......
hopefully you'll drop by...

It likes to be a bastard, then, eh?
Aww...that's so awesome when friends motivate you like that!
I will soon. I hate and love my program at the same time -- all of these Design classes (which I love) but no time for anything but homework.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yep, bastardizations for everybody....
well, no pressure (yeah right hahaha)...when you get there, you get there
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'll get there -- don't worry. I would right now, except for the fact that I have 64 thumbnails due on Monday and I probably should do them now.

I just did a FONT VECTOR in Illustrator...Not the same, but I'm getting there...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
you're lucky, i can't work with fonts worth a crap....that's why i stick to this drawing stuff
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm much better with fonts. I mean, hell, I just went through a list of thirty serif fonts that look really similar, and I picked out Times New Roman.
I cannot wait until Typography class next year...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i suck so bad at typography....and layout for that matter....
shit, i try to avoid anything to do with it at all times.....
and the worst part is.....
i really don't care to get better at it...or maybe i do, and it just bores the shit out of me
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Really!? Typography excites me to no end.
