This is my first entry in 
's contest! Sub-category being
outside, of course. The source image is from the Favole artbook by Victoria
Frances. Found it at Aethereality.net.
The title of the wallie is "Murder at the Carnival" in Italian. you'll understand more in a minute. ;)
So anyway, the image was a painting of what looked like a dying clown. When I took a closer look, I figured out that it was really a participant in Venice's anual Carnivale. I just had to wall it! Mainly because I am a fan of the whole Carnivale thing, but also because it had some blood (which is the theme of the contest). The thing that made me even happier is that it's not too bloody, but rather.... sad and depressing. I've never really done a dark wallie before, so I made sure to keep some dark thick shadows. It took forever to make all of those textures (for me at least because I don't have a fancy shamcy program like photoshop). Overall, it turned out nicely. Not exactly what I originally had in mind, but this is the best I can do with my software.
Heh, hopefully I'll do well in this contest! My next entry will be similar in theme, so if you like Venetian Masks and Carnevale, keep your eyes peeled. XD
Enjoy, Minna!~
EDIT: You can find the scan here.
2nd EDIT: I just thought I'd say what I'm about to say for when the contest is over and people are viewing this wallie to vote. Listen to the very begining of "Fire On High" by Electric Light Orchestra (or simply ELO) while viewing this. It totally fits the mood, people! XD

This is amazing! I didn't really know what it was until I read the description, but of course I couldn't help but click on something so unique!
nooo...I hate clowns. HATE! D:
LOL I like this spooky and morbid looking wall.
eeps..no clowns next time pls >:D
great quality!
For me not liking clowns that much, this is just downright awesome! =D
Wow that's amazing. I really like all the textures and the alley background. But the jester guy creeps the crap out of me. >_< Very nice wallpaper though! :)
Amazing! The colors and the shady scene are like a dream. Perfect. Thanks for sharing :)
A Jester... Yey! I love Jesters (aka clown)! This came out wonderfully, regardless of your software. The "dark" theme really works well & the texture you used also works well too! LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT! Awesome Wallpaper!
Great concept wall, the mood is perfect, and those textures are really awesome ! Nice use of the scan :). The perspective is okay, but i think you could have made it deeper, more frightening (and maybe with some dark fog at the end of the alley ^_^'. Oh, and i think the starry sky is a bit too much.
But all in all, a really good work :D
it looks so pretty +-+ XD I likes it! *favs* My kind of style :3 make more wallies like this one! X3
Amazing! This is so awesome >.<
