I was heavily influenced by the song "Tears of a Clown" by Smokey Robinson. After Renderosity's vote for the theme came back as "Carnival of Evil", I just could not get that song out of my head - lol I had realisticly 20 ideas to go after, but I Kept hearing that song. I knew I had to think of what a clown was afraid of - No one laughing was the answer... even more I thought into it and the title was the answer. A clown is afraid to going to Hell. Last year I made a young zombie child. He made it into the contest with the line: "Brains? That's all we ever eat" That child ended up bighting a Demon and turning into pure evil - He later was blown up - and thought to be dead. He came back to the world of the living through a mirror - from another demension.... and that is where this idea came in. Zombo has come to life in a traditional carnival poster as a clown walks by, He decides to drag the clown into his Hell demension. Items used to help create this image: Wings -mdd daemon wing, Zombo - fantaman, clown outfit - xp2 morphing clothes, clown hair - matrixworks, hat - hat topper, demon tail - easypose twisted devil tail, fork - devil props I'm excited to see what developes this year in the contest. This is my 3rd Halloween contest and I look forward to it all year long. A favorite artist of mine named calum5 took 1st last year. He is ineligable for this years contest... HOWEVER, If you go check out his gallery, you'll find he made a carnival of evil - I truely feel he would be in first place this year........................................ -I used poser6, photo explosion, photo shot, filters on "ink outline", I forgot to mention the wall is by DM designs, the clown is v4. good luck to everyone.
