Can I tell you a secret? I can’t take credit for the idea of this piece. When I was working on “Galaxy Treatos for the Rainbow Raccoon,” my boyfriend was convinced I got it all wrong. He then proceeded to tell me an elaborate story, that I HAD to write down immediately. Thus “Raccoons vs Flowers” was born!
This piece was a major challenge for me because it incorporates a lot of factors that are outside of my comfort zone. Perspective drawing & not having a solid reference photo really put me on edge. (I mean, how many photos are there of raccoons with space guns?) On top of the fact that I REALLY wanted to do his shenanigans the justice they deserved.
I managed to get through it and create a work that I’m really proud of. This will be the beginning of many epic pieces, as I dive into learning perspective, background art, and character design. It’s never too late to add more tools to your toolkit!
If you were sitting there thinking, “Wow! I would really love to have space raccoons on my legs!” Then you’ve come to the right place. Make your next steps EPIC with a pair of Raccoons vs Flowers leggings or keep it cool with a bomber jacket!
