Yeah, I was bored and reworked an old illustration I had done. I like how it turned out. Thought I'd share.

1. Still looking to net that Skittles sponsorship I see

:P

In seriousness, nice work!

[ghostsofgiants]

2. Goddamn right.

Corporate whoredom, here I come!

(Thanks!)

[jpgray]

3. Do you have a WACOM, or is this paperwork?

[ghostsofgiants]

4. Wacom.

Done in Adobe Illustrator, textures added in Photoshop.

5. I like it!

Very good. :thumbsup: Did you use the scan of a paper as the background layer? I don't think that you've drawn it on actual paper, otherwise please tell me what pens you used for the colors. :hi:

[ghostsofgiants]

6. It's a scan of the inside of an old book...

The rest is all digital.

And thanks, glad you like it. :)

8. My wacom tablet hates me ...

Do you ever consider to actually work as an illustrator?

[ghostsofgiants]

11. Kinda...

I'm working on some album art for a really cool local band and stuff, little freelance things like that. But I've never considered doing it for a living or anything. (Despite my dad telling me I should be going to art school instead of studying political science, ahah. Who the hell's parents encourage dropping out of university for art school?)

[Call Me Wesley]

14. Hey, there are some quite good art schools;

equal to any university. Make your doctorate there - after the doctorate in political science. ;)

No, I didn't mean for a living, but it's always good to have something else you can depend upon. And you're professional enugh to do it. Keep going on. :hi:

[ghostsofgiants]

16. Haha, true...

Actually, outside of political science, what I'd really like to do is film school. I've had a really deep interest in that for a few years now. Who knows what the future might bring education-wise for me? Haha.

[Call Me Wesley]

17. Oh, and film school isn't art school?

They teach that at the best universities here. It's, if I recall correctly, just next to the philosophers, but with a better outcome. ;)

[ghostsofgiants]

18. Haha...

I usually look at them as separate entities, even if they're within the same institution. Not sure why. Kinda the way I view nursing and business as two separate entities inside of my university, I guess.

19. Kick for shameless self-whoredom.

[WannaBePassingFair]

20. you know...

you could probably win a t-shirt design contest on Threadless.com. I mean, i'd wear it.

[ghostsofgiants]

23. I entered a design there a couple years ago...

I should try another.

Glad you dig. :hi:

22. Spewing rainbows is cool.

I like it. :)

[ghostsofgiants]

24. If you enjoy spewing rainbows...

You'd probably enjoy Katamari Damacy. I had never heard of it before I made the original illustration, but that's what it reminded some people of, haha.

Glad you like it. :hi:
