New "IT" design just finished
If you anything of a horror fan then you are well aware of the classic Penny-wise clown from Stephen King's novel IT, AND if you anything of a horror fan then you are well aware of the upcoming reboot of the original movie featuring Tim Curry as PW slated to come out in Sept 2017. That being said the new trailer is really making this reboot look tasty, with the completely more creepy and horrific new Penny-Wise its sure to get some scares.
Before going any further on the design I decided it was time for some initial feedback from the fellow shirt artists over on Facebook. The amount of constructive comments were extremely helpful in guiding the the process even more. Several people commented that the design was so boxed in that it crowds in PW and the overall effect is lost. I couldn't agree more!
Coming back with this version I was fully happy with it, and so were most of the people commenting online..except for one fella.
Well you can be the final judge.

So after getting a serious jolt of motivation I knew a shirt had to be made of this freak and fast. I peeled through my Pinterest posts and google images and a few pages of the print on demand shirt sites I upload to just to check out what kinda designs were already being created. Turns out not a lot of shirt designs out there are of the new PW character which is great news for me.
I watched the trailer several more times and very quickly I knew what I wanted to do for the overall layout. Seeing the major chunks of the design in my head I began sketching it out in Manga Studio 5 (totally love this program),

| First fully fleshed out PW with applied comments from online |
"I would explore maybe going Greyscale + Red. It gets bit lost among all the colors. Your drawing is really strong though, especially on Pennywise."
So..I did just that.

| Finished piece after all the comments. :D |
Well you can be the final judge.
