Inktober 19: Effigy

This is BEAUTIFUL in every way possible. The concept, the humor, and the art style? INSANELY GOOD.

Hi hello sorry for not posting a lot I’ve been very busy!! I cannot wait to post more :)

I was looking up RGB colors and accidentally stumbled upon CMYK and thought hey wow like the it could be character wow

If someone thought of this before I’m very sorry I can take it down if that’s the case

Depressive times

The Instagram version of this is so much better, btw. Here is this thing in its non-pixelated glory.

I finally made a motion graphics version of my thing. It’s alive! It’s also terribly compressed, but eh. I can still say I did a thing in After Effects!

This was a pain to make, though. Predominantly because of file sizes. However, feel free to use it for whenever you’re in an internet argument (although you are automatically losing by virtue of the fact that you are in an internet argument. Never forget that.)

I thought about this for a bit while driving a few days ago (anxious rumination will do that), realized that I haven’t bothered to ever use the type-on-path tool in Adobe Illustrator for years, and figured that I might as well give it another stab instead of doing grid design once again.

I’m normally not a big fan of printing things (because it’s expensive), although I’m a bit of an oddball in the sense that I almost always work in CMYK in the event that I might print something for some reason or another. (Hey, you never know when you need to print a logo, even if it’s predominantly supposed to be in digital environments). So, I finally have that stereotypically design-for-designers CMYK piece that most designers have at some point or another. (I’ve noticed it in a lot of people’s design portfolios, anyway. I don’t know why this happens, but I always see it happen.)

I’ve been telling myself that I eventually want to teach myself Adobe AfterEffects. Maybe I should do it with this. (I mean, rotating your head to read arguments is annoying. I might as well do that for to make it an easier viewing experience at some point...even though the bright and obnoxious print colors under Circular Arguments might make it a little annoying.)
