Description First off, my appologies, I really did not mean to submit again so soon, but I got the urge to try attacking Illustrator again and, well, you know how it goes. For those of you getting yet another deviation in your box, my appologies, I really don't do this that often

This one was inspired entirely by . She mentioned recently that red was her favorite color and it got the wheels turning in my head. I started thinking about what would happen if I did a piece based entirely around a single color scheme. Evidently, this is what happens I might try a few more like this. Definately I'm thinking of doing a blue one since that's my personal favorite color.

For those of you familiar with Tex Avery, the name of the club was not intended as a reference to him, it just seemed like a cool name for a club keeping with the red theme.

Medium: Vectored in Illustrator, text and brushstroke effect added in Photoshop

Other colors in the series so far:

The brushstroke effect refers to the area on the awning where it has been brushed over with a PS brush I made to resemble a traditional brushed look.

There was the 'Tex Avery' cartoon, but what I'm referring to is Tex Avery the animator who produced cartoons like 'Red Hot Riding Hood.'

Very nice! You should do every color of the rainbow and then line them all up in a row together... or something. That'd be neat, I think. Anyway, I really love this one!!

::Sighs:: Oh, I say it's hot-hot-hot! Er... yeah, I should stop that before I hurt anyone's ears.

Cool stuff! And my goodness, I don't see why you need to apologize for putting up more art, I like it.

::Giggles:: So, am I a total dork for looking at the gal there and thinking of a short-haired Jessica Rabbit?

Blue is giving me some trouble. I already have the title and the idea 'Blue as Can Be' , but I've never tried doing a sad retro girl before and it's not as easy as I would have thought.

Aww, and I'm glad to have helped you in some small way, too lol, you may work slow, but it's always more than worth the wait
