I was just thinking the other day, I've seen many people with pastel clowns. Which I find amazing. Well here are my questions.

1. Has anyone tried a Spider Clown?
2. Ever think of a Bumble Bee Clown?

Just thought I'd run it by and see what people think.

Most of those combos have been done. I think it may have more to do with the fact that the Clowns pattern maybe doesnt mix that well an thats why you dont see many people expending that much effort to create something that may not be any better than the original? I think thats why you see the pastel clown more, because it works more on the color than the pattern. The Clown pattern is so wild - as is, its hard to improve on it. Same thing with the Pied. The best Pieds (in my opinion again) are ones like the Panda Pied or Axanthic pied, where the cvolor is effected, but the cool pattern is left somewhat intact.

The Killer Clown is Killer though...

I agree 100%. Clown patterns are very hard to beat and a Clown is better off with color variations than pattern. I only brought it up because you can't count out how a Spider Clown until produced. Also I think the white sides in most spiders and bumble bee's would look pretty cool on a Clown if they had come out right. Once again it was just a thought and hopefully we'll see where it goes. But here are a few slections on color i would think would be cool on a clown.

1. Caramel Clown
2. Albino Clown(Heard Garrick from Royal constrictor designs has this project coming for 09'!)
3. Chocolate Clown

Here's a few on design only because who knows how they would come out until tried!

1. Spider Clown (?????)
2. Pinstripe Clown (Clown head? Maybe thinner pattern?)
3.Clown pied ( Heard it's been done but want a pic!!!)

Clowns just like many Balls have a long way to go. I find them to be very interesting and can't wait to see what this morph does!
Oh and also The KILLER CLOWN really is the best I've seen thus far!!
