If you were at furreality you’ve seen this post but most people haven’t because I was saving it for today. Happy Halloween
This is done with copic marker on Bristol vellum paper. This is the first piece where I only had a white Matt board so I grabbed my copic marker refill and my rubbing alcohol and made a lavender wash for it. (Not pictured above. Sometime I’ll do a tutorial about it or a panel at a con.
Back to the future was the highest grossing film of 1985 and I was 8 years old. I don’t remember seeing it in theatres but I know I saw it on my own small tv on a tv stand that is smaller than most serving trays. The same tv once nearly sent my brother to the er. I never wanted a Hoover board (after watching my dare devil older cousins repeatedly break bones). No I wanted the car with it’s suicide doors and its inaccurate time traveling abilities. It was possibly the first time anyone told me yeah now sucks but the future will be better. There will still be bullies but you’ll beat them at their own game. McSloth your gonna rock.
It’s a tad sloppy but it was a quickie on my sketch paper. It’s copic markers fire – y00, 04, 06, 15, 17, 19, yr14, 16, 18. Letters – y15, 17, 19, yr 14, 16, 18. Vest – yr14, 16, 18. Shirt b00, 04. Jean – b23, 24, 26. Shoes – w00, 01, blender. Sloth e15, 37, 30, 31, 34, w00, 0, 01, 03. For those counting that’s 23 markers for a piece less than 5×7″
Back to the future influenced so many of us kids from the 80’s or 70’s (clears throat) and even though you’re no longer part of our future you’ll always have a special place in our past.
I have a dear friend that I work with at conventions and evrrytime I see him he whips up the best Turkish coffee (okay, truth I’ve never had it anywhere else). Gabe even whips up no sugar versions for me now that I’m working hard on (I don’t want to say losing weight cause it’s not about thin and all about not dying) being healthier.
So, I’m kind of on a coffee kick lately and I wanted to highlight the coffee that we in the ops office like so much.
Why a cheetah? You might ask. There is usually a reason for the pairing. Cheetahs run fast (that should be a duh moment) and we drink coffee for the caffeine so we’ll hopefully reach a speed that resembles human instead of zombie. On top of that there used to be cheetahs in Turkey according to the Internet and when possible I try to put links in like that.
Hint hint – I also happen to know there’s at least one cheetah out there that like coffee. So, bonus.
This is my latest in the dessertimals series. I hope you enjoy these lovebirds sharing a shake (the most romantic of desserts).
As you see the straws and the birds mimic each other and are on opposite sides to bring the colors across the piece. On top of that the straws are positioned to be reminiscent of a heart without being in your face.
I used copic markers and liners on Bristol Vellum 500 series paper.
I’ll be in the dealers room at motor city fur con 2016 and their theme is steampunk. I did these little birdies with that in mind. They’re two different colorations of lovebird and if you look close you’ll notice they’re blinged out in theme.
I used copic markers and liners on this piece. It’s in 500 series Bristol Vellum.
Can’t you just feel the love? 😉
