Separated at Birth: Pennywise and Killer Klowns

Separated at Birth

Hey, it's another joke that is rather obvious, and of course that means I cannot allow it to pass by without a comment!  (Thanks, Captain Obvious!)

Both Pennywise and the Killer Klowns from Outer Space:

- Came from Outer Space/Alternate Dimensions

- Have clown-like appearance

- Murderous... Very murderous

- Generous use of balloons for terror

- Crazy hair

- Bad teeth

- Divergent strabismus (exotropia)

STEP ONE/TWO:  In this case, I did do some step-by-steps for the Killer Klown digital painting ("Slim", in this case).  First, I did some quickly scribbled digital pencils (5 pt. hard brush).  Followed by the color roughs on a new Layer just below the pencils which were done with a 50pt. chalk brush.

STEP THREE/FOUR:  I merged the digital pencil layer down on top of the color layer and began to build up and tighten the colors--pushing the shadows and bumping up the highlights.  The head was pretty much done, leaving the collar and shirt to finish.

STEP FIVE:  I also decided to update the Pennywise a little bit, moved the nose down, re-colored the hair, and made minor, um, cosmetic changes.  I made the lighting slightly more dramatic so it would better match the Killer Klown digital painting.
