A Circular Gallifreyan word circle that says "Clowns", and also looks like a creepy clown face. The C at the bottom is a blown-out eye with a cloudy red pupil, yellow iris, and makeup coming off of it vertically. The L (counterclockwise) is a smaller jester face. The O is a blue ball on the small jester cap. The W at the top right is a concave crescent (should have been an arch, but nobody cares, lol) with a layer of ruffles on the inside of it. The N at the upper-middle left is a pinned eye, the pupil being at the center of a water-squirting flower, the yellow iris being the petals. The S at the bottom left of the word circle (also a crescent that should've been an arch) is a mouth with black lipstick, pointy conical teeth, and visible gums. The teeth are yellow, stained with black blood, and the gums are grey. The entire word circle has curly, faded-fire-hydrant-red hair on the sides of its face. There is a light blue shading around the eyes (of both faces) and as highlights on the ruffles. The color scheme is Red, white, yellow, black and blue.

I really like Circular Gallifreyan, but I think a lot more could be done with it than what I see around, and I also love Clowns, so I made this a while ago. I wanna get it as a tattoo, honestly, cause I really love Clowns.
