Holy Macaroni, winner status, nice king kong theme…even tho he kinda look like a monster rather then a monkey…and i love how the clouds get skinnier in the background to show more space around the scene…love it.
- Ray Frenden 9 months ago
Thanks! I wanted him to look more monstrous than ape-like.

Thanks, Bortwein. I really like your NBA submission with the woodgrain showing. Creative stuff.
Wotto, I score badly, historically speaking.

- bortwein 9 months ago
thanks Ray. I think you have a better audience here for your art. I’m not seeing the Food With Faces or cutesy designs taking over here.

God, I hope so.
- ALIADOTONY 9 months ago
I would buy this definetly but could you signed it ray?
- Ray Frenden 9 months ago
If we could figure out a way, sure. Maybe I would buy it, sign it, and then ship it? You know, assuming it has a snowball’s chance of winning!

Super dig….Nikolai Sodorov, your average, vodka-imbibing Russian living in a dystopian future with half a robot for the top of his head! He should definitly show up on a deck!
- Ray Frenden 9 months ago
I’m wary of putting him on merch for other companies. Not quite sure if I could retain trademark if I did so!
- timrobot 9 months ago

“These are hand inked lines and not node or pen-tool based.” Ray: How long did this take you on average?
- Ray Frenden 9 months ago
Mmm… About twelve hours? One full day.
- Ray Frenden 9 months ago
Probably a little less than that. There was email returning, eating, dog tending-to, etc, during that work day.

- decksbyjwar 9 months ago
so i was wondering how everyone does their graphics. for you specifically, did you draw this first or did you design it on a computer?
- JackMartin 9 months ago
Just plain epic.
- Ray Frenden 9 months ago
I have videos of my process on my blog. I work digitally, but via pressure sensitive strokes – not nodes.

Tooo kind. Six more days till results. Gah!
- ste7en 9 months ago
Awesome of course. I actually think a warmer color could have been substituted for the light blue. Considering all the areas you used it on- the tongue, dress, plane, building tower….would have made for some perfect contrast. It is night, so even jus
