Artist's Comments

Finished this sometime last week, forgot to post it then. So I'm posting it now. :D

I wanted something simple and sweet with a different look. And I've always loved the old time circus feel. *doesn't change my opinion about clowns though* I was also inspired a bit by Mary Blair for this piece.

I've walked a tightrope before, it was of course much lower than the one in the picture. Not to mention I was holding onto somebody while walking. But it was fun. XD

Awww~ I like how you colored this one, Claire. I can see it hanging up in an apartment in one of those big cities like New York or Seattle. DB I forgot what they're called...and they have bricks for walls-- ANYWAY.

...
I love this.
You should, uhm. Make this into like, a poster or something like that. BD Or put it in the calen-- never mind. It's not exactly a chibi. xD Either way, I still love itttttt. <3

I love how this looks like it came directly out of a children's storybook. So lovely =^_^= The style and colors are very warm and appealing.

:iconwowiie:
Oou I love the colours !
This is kinda ironic, my cousin told me that she went to the circus the other day haha
I really like all the different textures you used, and I love how effortless and graceful the tightrope walker looks
I'm sure your experience with it was really fun (:

Oh my Gooood~ I really love this, Claire. The colors, the detail on her little parasol, her outfit, all the balloons floating up from the crowd below, the background, it really looks like this all takes place in a circus tent, it's amazing.

I think this would actually make a great framed picture, rather than a poster. I don't know, it just has this... feel about it, that makes it seem better suited behind glass. XD Anyway, this just really reminds me just how long it's been since I've went to the circus, it's been over 10 years. @___@

    Kasei: ...Are you sitting in front of a fan?
    Kara: No.
    Kasei: All I hear is, like, air blowing.
    Kara: Oh, that's just the sound of my penis breathing.
    Kasei: ............................... Ffffffffffffffffffffffft.

Lovely :D Like everyone else said, the color and coloring style is very well done. I especially like how you did the perspective and the crowd. I always have a hard times with those two things XD


I like the old-time circus feel, too. By any chance, have you ever read the book "Water for Elephants" by Sara Gruen? The setting is a Depression-era circus, and it's very awesome and atmospheric.
