Hello everyone! o(≧▽≦)o

So recently, @perennial makes a new art challenge “Musical Retro Wo-Owl” for #steem-cartoon community~

Truthfully, I’m not in the best condition to do anything at the moment as I caught a fever from my dearest brother… (╯°益°)╯彡┻━┻

About Retro Songs:

• Retro Songs can be songs that capture an era from your youth, or a pivitol time from your life. Often they can be that bubblegum pop you heard non-stop as a child.
• Retro Songs can make you relive a moment, a day, an evening, a summer, or even a lifetime.
• Retro songs sometimes speak only to you, or peers, sometimes a bygone era.

When I think about retro, George Michael and Bee Gees immediately come into my mind. Maybe because both of their songs are on my playlist and I will never get bored listening to them.

Then I remembered “Interstella 5555”. I really love their songs and also their cinematic background story and I thought that’s pretty retro. Also, I’ve been into with retrowave/synthwave songs recently and I remember that their cover background is often filled with neon colour arts.

Moving on, here’s my entry for the challenge and I also include a step-by-step process of my art.

Step 1: Sketch

I start my sketch using a traditional media first before scanning and transfer it into Photoshop.

Step 2: Digital Refining

I added a round glasses (because it looks so retro) and also draw the guitar strap on the character shoulder.

Step 3: Lineart

As usual, I use purple colour to create my lineart and halfway doing them, I realize the guitar position looks a bit weird so I redraw it.

Step 4: Base Colour

I’m not a big fan of neon colour so I planned to use the brightest colour as possible and crank up hue/saturation after I finished with shading.

Step 5: Shading

Honestly, I thought this is gonna turn out bad but after I done with his skin, hair, eyes and mouth, it looks more bearable to look at (thank God!).

Step 6: Overlay

As usual, I abuse overlay layers here and there.

Step 7: Saturation

Increase the colour saturation by +15.

Step 8: Final Adjustments and Background

I make a really simple background using neon colour gradients and also sparkles. My first intention is to place a disco ball behind the character but I think it looks too weird. So I scrape it and instead place a neon sunset to replace it.

You make me wanna listen to the whole album of Daft Punk's Discovery again. :)

You should gordon! ( ˆoˆ )/ or better, listening and at the same time watching Interstella 5555 :3

I already have the movie, bub. Watched it years ago! 😀

Oh what I meant is watched the whole movie again since it's both story and music :3

Yeah, a unique collaboration between Daft Punk and the classic Leiji Matsumoto. :)

This is pretty cool! Did you mean Daft punk?

Yes! Forgive me for failed to mentioned them 囧rz I'm guessing you're a fan of Daft Punk? :3

I just know a few songs n.n i wasn't sure to tell the truth :P

All of their songs is great but "Discovery" will always be my favorite album from them ( ^ω^ )

Oh! I like "Technologic" :P I will listen to the album you say in youtube so n.n

Speaking about 'Technologic', you should check out an acapella group called Pentatonix. They did a good job of mashup most of Daft Punk popular song, including Technologic at the beginning of their video :3 I'll leave the link here for you to check out (≧◡≦) ♡

I had seen it! Yeah it is actually really cool n.n those pentatonix guys are sooo talented, it is so funny when a girl voice sounds but I look at the girl and she is not singing then I notice is the guy xD

Really nice! Love how you show the progress of your work :D

Thank you @amethystrosee!! ( ^∀^) I just hope people won't get bored seeing my too many steps art process Σ('◉⌓◉’)
