Soft Kitty! Warm Kitty! Little ball of fuuur!
Hello Fellow Steemians, and welcome to my entry for the Design a Character Contest Week #4. As always, I want to thank @w0olf for hosting this contest, and a special thanks to this weeks guest judge @fraenk and his cuddle-bot, namely @steemkitten.
The Entry:
The aim of this week was to come up with a nice visual identity for @steemkitten. So I am honored to present to you my entries for this week. Hold onto your whiskers, because this little guy with his googly eyes (see what I did there) will just melt your face off with cuteness!
The Process:
All and all this took me quite a few hours, with a lot of experimentation, so I will show some, but not all of the process that I followed in creating this cute little kitten.
A horrifying start... as always!
There was clearly still a lot wrong here. Giraffe like neck, weird ass feet... so many things.
Fixing the weird little legs...
This just shows my struggle in trying to come up with legs that look okay... I think the kitten had more of a hover at some point, kind of ghost-like.
Gosh... how do I make this look like the first image...
The struggle is real! Took me ages to come up with something fairly decent that actually looked like first kitten.
A little side experiment
Before I did the playful pose I tried my hand at a side view... I don't know what I drew, but it was not... a... kitten...
The Tools:
For those who are curious, this image was drawn on a Wacom Intuos Pro Paper in good ol Adobe Photoshop, forged from the blood of my enemies and the purring of kittens.
Thank you for reading!
