Don't give in to fomo!


Hello guys and gals, here is my latest design for cryptogreetings.com. I hope to see it go live by the end of the year. I think this one brings a different flavor the the site. I made the mood a bit dark but tried to keep it funny and light hearted at the same time. We all know Crypto can be stressful. You just gotta hodl...

As usual, I used Affinity Designer to create this illustration. It's similar to Adobe Illustrator but it has some awesome visual FX tools. I can add light,shadow, and 3D effects to my art.

Right, let's take a quick look at the design journey.

  • Pencil

This is where it all starts. Straight out of my head...

  • Pen

The neat line art makes it easier to create the Vector curves/paths.

  • Flat Vector

I really like the basic flat illustration. I think it has a Simpsons/Family Guy style.

  • Final

I'm liking the way it turned out. I never really know how it's going to look until after the visual FX. It's pretty interesting that way :)


There we have it guys! I've got loads more design to produce but it's a start :) Hope you enjoyed this Crypto greeting card preview.

Big GoT fan here so really loved this piece!! :) Love the crypto spin on it too haha

Thanks very much bud :)

Very cool creation, are you using a wacom tablet or similar device to make these or are you using the mouse?

No, all you need is a mouse for Vector.

It is very good for you to have a lot of good looks and pictures

Thanks, I think I have good looks ;)

Like a lot

You did an excellent job showcasing the my favourite moment in last season. Thanks for sharing your process with us.

My pleasure @el1748eth

wonderful work i like its effects.

Thanks mate, glad you liked it. I think it's going live on the greeting card site around New years.

well this one more than deserves my Re-Steem... let's be friends! :D I am loving also your art-style --I want to begin to do it like this too! I have some sketches already, i need to put those defined pen lines like u did and then scan them again! ty a lot :D

Wonderful artwork! The drawing, itself, is really good, but it so great once you digitized, colored, and added the shading! The crypto theme rocks! Fantastic job on this piece! 😊
