Description
*sniif sniff* mmmm... smells like... effort. XDCommission for bigbut5 on FA.
lol, those clouds are at a bit of a jaunty angle- it seemed like a good idea at the time. The characters in the background are deliberately a little blurry, to keep your attention on the girl at the front.
Made with coloured pencils

I haven't heard of it. But I googled out of curiosity.
Wish I had safe search turned on 0___o;

Oh boy... XD Sounds like lots of fun!
It's basically just a sequel or spinoff of sorts of the music game PaRappa the Rapper. Same type of game but just a different character.

The depth in this piece is amazing. Between your awesome shading and the decision to make the background characters blurred, the depth really blossomed. The angle of the clouds give the impression of motion, which makes the party atmosphere more exciting.

Thank you so much for your kind words. It really means a lot.

Wow I love how you did the blurry effect for the characters in the background! Actually, how did you do that? Didn't use as much colored pencil?

Thanks hon *hugs*
For the background characters.
1- I didn't use pen for the outlines, I used colured pencil (a different one for each character to help me tell them apart where they all overlap)
2- I scribbled in some indigo shadows before I added the base tones. That way all my subsequent layers push the indigo arround the paper and make it look blurry.
3- I used a lot of blue and grey to push the BG characters back, I think the only fully saturated part is that guy's red can.
4- Usually I use my blender pencil in little circles, and I'm careful not to push the colours too far. For the BG I pretty much scribbled the blender about randomy.
Hope that was helpful.

Actually that was very helpful
I feel like doing black blobs for my background characters gets boring and an eyesore after a while XD
So I was wondering how to fade out characters traditionally and then you did this piece!
So I had to ask.
Thanks Janet

Well silhouetting BG characters is an excellent technique!
I just couldn't do it for this pic because theres so forking many of them it'd look like some kinda amorphorous mess.

Yeah and the characters in this picture are a lot closer so it would make sense that they would have some definition and not just shapeless blobs. XD
