# Sir Ian Bowler for London Mayor? Please Sir!



Been doing some artwork for B3TAn Natt's London Mayor campaign.
You know, this Natt who does the videos: www.b3ta.com/links/Sir_Ian_Bowler_on_The_Cuts

# I see Zalgo has had a go at his hair.
Otherwise, nicely!

# That.
Is fucking ace.

Though brings back the trauma of having to do 22 separate pictures in that style and amalgamate them into one cohesive bit of arts. In about two weeks.

Never again.

# Cheers!
It was a surprise as well, so I couldn't even talk about it.

BEST BIRTHDAY EVER

# Would you be so kind as to explain how one would achieve such an effect?
Got CS5 and very little skill if that helps or hinders.

# Well, I draw all mine in Flash. Which probably isn't the normal way to approach it.
The first thing I do is cut down the amount of different tonal values. So whack it with a bit of contrast in Photoshop or whatever. Then import into Flash onto a layer and set the opacity to about 50% (to save any lines you've drawn getting 'lost'). Then draw what you see on a different layer, use a bit of artistic license, then ink the bastard up at the end.

The one linked to there is actually a more simplistic approach then I normally take. Though I was pretty much backed into a corner with that due to time.

# Thank you
But I'm afraid you lost me at 'flash'
I was hoping for a filter/stylize/red blue option. I dont know what flash is or have any artistic licence at all. But thankyou for taking time out to explain so other people may know.

# Er, well, you could probably do it with contrasting the photo and magic wanding blue and red onto it or something.
There was no quick and easy way for what I did with that, though. I still have the mental scars to prove it.

# Not if I have anything to do with it
which I won't, because I won't be living in London come the election.

Thank fuck
