RUMBLE IN THE JUNGLE




I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS PICTURE FOR A LOOOOONG TIME. NOT THAT IT'S OVERLY COMPLICATED, JUST THAT I KEPT PUTTING IT OFF IN FAVOR OF OTHER PROJECTS. IT WAS DRAWN ALMOST TWO YEARS AGO AND JUST FINALLY COLORED TODAY. THIS IS THE 1st TIME I HAVE COLORED AN IMAGE IN PHOTOSHOP FULLY BY HAND WITHIN THE COMPUTER. I USUALLY MAP OUT THE COLORS BY HAND AND THEN SCAN THEM IN AND MESS WITH IT AND LAYER IT LATER.

NOW, I LOVE ME A YSL SAFARI SUIT AND I LOVE HIS BEADED AFRICAN COLLECTION AS WELL. SINCE HE HAS SO MANY AFRICAN INFLUENCED COLLECTIONS TO PULL FROM I DECIDED TO PIT THEM AGAINST EACH OTHER: BIG GAME HUNTER VS. CHIC AFRICAN NATIVE. I ADDED THE VINES AND BIRDS TO GIVE IT A DENSE, JUNGLE FEEL.
