ConnyC28 gave us free liberty to basically do whatever we wanted as long as we kept certain things in like the hair color, eye color and a few other things to. So for mine I decided to do a guy, a fabulous looking one at that. Mostly because I just came off of finishing a picture of a girl ( I haven't posted that one yet and won't until mid or late September) and felt like doing something different and since ConnyC28 gave us that option I went with it. π
Originally I was going to do something more different with the hair style not wanting it to be too similar to ConnyC28 but while I was working on the face I realized the left eye really wasn't going to look right no matter what I tried so this is what it is. I also struggled to get the two colors in the hair to be more distinguishable from one another -- I used a teal color and a light blue -- ugh, it's all right though you can't really tell the difference very well. I ended up also doing something I don't usually do when coloring in my pictures and that is adding lighting, sometimes I'll do shading but not really lighting but after doing my last picture which I used this technique for I thought why not try it again? Came out all right looking I think. π
Another thing that wasn't really planned but was more like spur-of-the-moment when doing him was the robotic arm, I would say I have no clue why I went with it but, no, I think I do know it's because I've been thinking about doing a certain character of mine again with a robotic arm but haven't done it yet. π
The guitar is also on the somewhat large size but that's all right since I imagine it has to be fairly big if he's going to make "thunder" tho' I think drums would of been better for that. But there was no way I was going to try doing drums! π€£
And originally for the background I was going to do a regular stage but it felt a little too boring to me so didn't want go with it, I also didn't feel like doing anything too complicated so I went with clouds and cloud squirrels! Haha, really didn't think I would do cloud squirrels again! As you can see that's what my avatar/profile pic is. π
First time I actually entered one of these contests and probably be the last one too, lol! (weeelll -- unless if 3Fangs or someone else I kinda know host one then maybe.) I had fun working on this picture especially since at the time around entering the contest I felt like drawing something and wasn't sure on what at the time so, yes, this definitely was a nice change of pace. Although to be honest, as much as I absolutely love ConnyC28 art I truly hope I won't win anything because then I would have the hard decision on what I would want to see her draw and that list is waaaaaaayyy to long. I literally would love to see anything by her so technically I always win. XD
