Once again, I've been asked to assist with some art work revolving around the #MinnowSupport community

This was inspired by the title screen from "Tom & Jerry" cartoons.

Step One: It's pencil time!

Shane was easy to draw, since I found a good reference image on one of his recent posts. Gmuxx, on the other hand, didn't seem to have anything in his posts. So I dreamed up what I thought he MIGHT look like. This backfired!

From there, I used reference photos and tried tracing them (because this project had to get completed VERY quickly). The tracing backfired even more. So, I ended up drawing Gmuxx freehand and this is the result:

Behold the pencily majesty of sketched-up Gmuxx!


Step Two: "Inking"

Using brushes in Illustrator, I made some bold lines to capture the magnificence of the moment...

Step Three: Add colouring, text accents & background

These handsome rascals definitely do NOT have faces for radio. Look out ladies! XD Best wishes on your radio show, gents!

This is beautiful. Often times when I am walking around I imagine what some of these steemit look like in real life. I am convinced I have already meet them all.
:-D

@kubbyelizabeth It's so much fun capturing the personas with art :) Thanks for your comment, support and dropping by :)

Also, have you seen the trading cards that @steemitadventure has been creating? Three cards down, about 200,000 more users to draw!

I did see it was resteemed, but now that you mentioned it I checked out her other drawings too. Very cool, does she have one of you?

@steemitadventure is actually a fellow (just has a female avatar, as that's one of his characters in his upcoming series).

I guess I could attempt drawing myself... sounds like a scary endeavor though XD

He is very good. Let me know if you actually do follow through with this scary endeavor!

Okay! I may procrastinate since I'm not enamored with the way I look lolz

No procrastination, if anything this will encourage you to get all dressed up :) or hit the gym.

Lolz...

This is brilliant

Thank you so much!

omg this is amazing, so cheerful :) put me in good humor tonight xD
I see you got TALENT :)

Bwahahaa :) Glad to hear it, I didn't realise my art had that much influence!

Congratulations Human. This post has been chosen to feature in today's Muxxybot curation post....*....

@muxxybot Pardon my french, but I'm going to use this to power the eff up!!!

:O

@gmuxx you weren't supposed to see that lolz

I can confirm that it's EXACTLY what @gmuxx looks like. LOL Awesome artwork @overkillcoin keep them coming!

lol

Great job! Those look awesome

Let the show begin.

Thank you very much. I will admit I was worried at the start but this turned out great.

Gave you a good scare, didn't I! XD

Nice work !

  • What kind of pad / stylus do you use ?
    I'm interested !

Hi @mercuriel, I have a standard (small) wacom pad that I bought about 2.5 years ago - however, I created this
art with a mouse and art brushes in Illustrator. I thought it would allow more precision this way.

Thanks ! I Work in Architecture and sometimes i draw on photoshop to enhance the result of rendered 3D model, and since some month i wonder if it were better for me to use a pad, or a cintiq-like thing (but not a cintiq, this is so much expensive).
