Promo Artwork for 24/7 VR Festival built on Decentraland blockchain

in #cartoon7 years ago (edited)

I've recently been doing some work for districts in Decentraland.

If you don't know aout DCL it's a VR world being built on the blockchain

you can read more about it here

This character is for the district Festival.land which plans to be a 24/7/365 Festival space with live music stages, visual arts, comedy and circus tents, burlesque shows, fairground rides, sideshow games, cinema, theatre and fireworks

The Process

Firstly I draw everything by hand... I'm not as good as some of the artists on steemit so I usually have to draw out my ideas a few times

I often have to redraw parts close up to make sure I have all the details I need

once I am happy that I have all the parts I need I compile the sketches into a clear vectored outline using Adobe Illustrator

add a splash of colour

and finally some subtle shading using photoshop

I don't usually show the process behind my work, as I see artwork as a kind of illusion, but I guess it's nice to let people behind the curtain once in a while

Good work buddy, I feel like I may have met this character on numerous occasions in G... normally a random stranger asleep on the sofa outside my bedroom :-)

LOL! One Taste crew?

Haha, yes, most likely a shaman of some kind! :-)

thanks mate x haha yes you probably recognise him from past lives... you have to draw what you know :)

I am here if you need a suarve professor type in the media faculty :-)

Good work @toonpunk I think the character looks very friendly 😊 does he have a name?

thanks @marcelli he should have a name... maybe Ollie

I read a little about decentraland - looks interesting.
This is a fab character too!

it's an ambitious project but it could be a game changer, a lot of work needed to get it up and running at the moment

Really good job. You are very talented at designing a cartoon sketch .. and you give a different impression on each of your posts

You're good. Keep it up.
