He’s the ghost with the most, so cool he’s cold, so laid back he should be laying down, it’s Aggy wailin’ on the sax in the Not-Yet-Ready-For-Clothing Players band!
So I started with this from Kaz:
First thing I started on this, I felt it might be trouble. Aggy just isn’t very defined and with the sunglasses on (that I suggested btw) there’s even less… there. But I charged ahead anyway…
I accidentally put some color work on the line layer. I seem to do that sort of thing I could probably fix it but it doesn’t matter really. But you can probably see here what I meant. There’s just not a lot TO Aggy. I chose to interpret some lines Kaz drew at the top of his head as wispy hair. Not sure it was meant to be that, but I ran with it.
Then I did the flat color. Aggy was no problem – he’s blue. Duh… but that sax… Oh did I underestimate that!
I tried LOTS of methods on the sax, none of which looked good. Gradients, complex brushes, nothing looked good at all. Finally I just took a look at a picture of a sax and copied some colores. That one reflection inside the horn is the best thing I did. The rest looks meh. But at least it’s recognizable as a sax I think.
Finally I decided I would do highlights on a ghost. It would look weird next to the others if I didn’t. Though honestly I didn’t spend a lot of time on it. Then opened up the transparency a bit so you can see a bit through him. I do like how the sunglass highlighting came out. With no eyes to work with, it was nice to get that in at least.
And that’s it. Aggy’s in the band! Only one left – Nah, the vampiric guitarist (with full nipplage! Yes, Kaz didn’t cop out and hide her boobs behind anything! So who am I to do anything less?)
