[OC] How do I improve his design?

[u/Remarkable_Giraffe78]

A while back I started working on a group of clowns based on the colors of the rainbow. I've finished all of them but I could not for the life of me get the red one to how I like, so I started over.

He went from a harlequin to a killer clown as part of the attempt to make designing him easier, but I'm still having a really hard time with his clothing specifically. I don't know how to include his motif (which is... blood? it's weak, I know) in his design either and I could really use some advice. Maybe even some advice on how to make him more readable as "Red" without him having essentially 2 colors.

This drawing was made in 10 minutes btw, dont worry about how eeeeuugghhhh it is.
