Experiment: Thief

Suddenly got the urge to do experimental work. I sketched out something that was supposed to be a star holding a baby star, but the space in the middle made an interesting shape as I was filling in the colors, and so I made it into a mouth.


No, this isn't a subliminal KKK reference.

I liked the finished product but decided to add a paper texture of some sort. Paper texture was taken from: http://cgtextures.com/


The texture was placed over the finished drawing
layer types were as follows:

upper left: saturation
upper right: multiply
bottom left: soft light
bottom right: no texture, original

I wasn't looking at it, but based on the colors and the style, I'm pretty sure some of it was influenced by this wallpaper I'd found on the Internet.


These monster things are as fun as they look! My favorite shot was the one below here. I really liked the night-time feel of it, and it sort of reminded me of a night rave. :'> Purple lights, that kind of jazz. Also, it had a bit of a magical feel to it, because of the color hues. I'll definitely be incorporating this kind of thing in a later drawing.


Glad I did this, but time to get some sleep. :x

Tools: SAI, Photoshop CS4 + texture
