Yes I do own a calendar and I am not going over the deep end or anything like that. I have just come to realise that I see my new year just after Carnival. For me, that is when I have a lot of creative energy flowing.  This usually comes from all the Carnival hype, good and bad I always find something great to take from it whether it is the pure orgy of colours or simply the happiness of people.

I dealt with a lot of crap last couple months that I may look back someday and laugh over. Usually I can handle my shit but I think I got blindsided. The people around you choose them carefully for they are the ones who will help you when you fall. I am lucky and thankful for that.

Moving on I wanted to get this little guy out of the way. It is a bit of a warm up for me and I am feeling excited about working again. Here’s to a great year!

Some process images and my inspiration are after the jump.

I was inspired by this costume from Disnep Universe MMO game. and wanted to do my own take on it.

For me it felt like I was not doing anything fun just for me a while back illustration wise so I just hashed it out, I like a very graphic light illustration and this is what I tried out to create.
