Artist's Comments

The title's just an inside joke (O Jóquer! O Coringa! O Palhaço!), but it suits this kinda well.
I really like this. I think it has this feeling of union to it, I don't know, coming from their poses. They're like one. (Or not. Perhaps I'm just too sleepy and shouldn't be writing descriptions)
But the thing is, I REALLY like it. I think it's kind of above-average of my liking. I don't usually draw jesters, because I'm not too good at creating outfits that actually look good.
I still need to work this out (like the girl's hands, which are in a completely odd angle), but I'd really appreciate it if you'd leave comments, especially if you feel something's not right with this. I get too little criticism on my stuff, I need more! I plan to ink it and eventually, when I get (and learn how to deal with) Photoshop, color it.
Somewhat inspired by Jostein Gaarder's The Solitaire Mystery.

I'm one of those weird people who loves clowns. This is sexy. Heart

I think the outfits look great. I have problems designing outfits myself, but it seems you've had no difficulty here. :D (Big Grin)

The only thing that I might suggest a little alteration of is the angles of the feet.. it seems like it'd be hard to twist one's foot into perfect profile from the positions they're in, especially for the fellow in the center. I do the same thing myself sometimes, as it's a pain in the ass to find decent foot and shoe reference.

Besides that one little gripe, this kicks ass. I'm jealous. :P (Lick) Faving this at risk of making my own stuff look bad. lol +favlove

I used far too many emoticons in this comment, I know.

Lovely designs, and you're right about the picture, they're almost one ^_^

I can see what you mean about her hands, but I don't actually think it's the hands that are the problem. I'm not sure if you want her fingers intertwined or one hand closing over the other, right now it looks as though one's closing over the other, if you were aiming for intertwined, perhaps extend the knuckles of her left hand a bit to show the fingers before they disappear from view?

The thing that seems a little off to me is her right arm. The fore and aft(? Well... back?) part of her arm both seem a little short. I'm not sure if it's the upper arm is a bit short, or the lower arm, it just seems a bit off.

Other than that little bit, it's gorgeous work, I love their costumes, and the overall composition is excellent.

they look very funny. Seems the comments above points out what could have been improved rather well, so that's all I say, good work :-) (Smile)

ooh i really like this too!!!!!!!!!! ^_^ i love the middle jester best! I hate to say bad things about drawings ^_^;;; but since you asked so nice and all, i guess that yeah the feet look a little awkward...still good, but kinda flat? if that makes sense ^_^;;; the girls expression is a little strange as well...but in the picture is so good and it's SOOOOOOOO close to perfection!! ack i hate saying bad things ;_; sorry!!!!! ^_^ i really like the pic

Cliff, tá maravilhoso esse!! Adorei, vai pros favoritos agora mesmo! > DDD

Sério, pra mim tá tudo perfeito... *-* Só a perna esquerda do cara do meio que parece um pouco curta, mas acho que é por causa do ângulo em que ela tá dobrada. ^_^
