Glitter bombing. 28th of april 2012.
Bad quality but in my defense I've done this on my phone
One of Graph's drawings from last year that I started to color up and never really finished.
The background of the first image is traced from a photo of Sapphire Beach in Saint Thomas, USVI. The weather was really humid that day and it was apparent in the photo, so I used colors from a nice day over at Megan's Bay because nobody likes gray beach photos do they? The islands in the back were barely visible in the original picture. I'm not even sure why Lass would be at Sapphire with that board other than maybe paddling around and looking at fish, Frenchman's Reef has much better waves and even those don't get very big. As for fish and coral, Secret Harbor (Apparently now named Paradise Harbor because mass tourist influx) used to have lots of coral and fish, but tourists, being the dipshits they are, killed a lot of it off.
The flat colors are done, but I intended to add shading and clean up the water, but that never happened and I haven't touched the files in months. The shading should also be less purple and more blue. It'd look a lot better on the clouds that way and the rest of the image too I'm sure. Gray shading just doesn't look that good.
I said I'd draw Graph's character Mattie, but I didn't know what to draw, so when I was looking over her reference sheet, I saw her cow pastie design labeled "Mattie's last line of defense" and immediately thought of it as a Small Shield.
I tried to emulate the graphics in Vindictus and stylize Meushi Mattie's normal outfit to look like something from the game, even managing to stay to only three colors per piece which is why the hammer is only black, white and gold.
I named the Shield the 'Line of Defense' and the hammer 'Cowpat'
T-3 mins to a meeting: you get up and let them know you're in the room by leaving that quick tag on the board. #tag #graffiti #graph #bombthesystem #leaveyourmark #corporateamerica
