“What is Creative Mondays?
Monday’s are always a drag. The start of a new week, you have to go back to that routine of going to bed early/get up early. If (like me) you have to commute then you prepare for that long journey into work and that long journey back for the first time after a nice two day break.
So to kick off those lousy Mondays, I’m going to get my creative mind flowing in a positive way. Creative Mondays. A chance for me to show off something unfinished or finished that I’ve been working on throughout the previous week.”
Last year I created Simon, a Photoshop styled illustration of a robot. I built him up using simple shapes, layers and patterns. Basically I was experimenting with the shading and texture techniques that Photoshop offers. I enjoyed creating something in that style and have wanted to do something similar ever since. That’s where the Cycrawler comes in. This guy got caught in some headlights and was a little surprised to see me but I reckon he’s pretty harmless. In fact I reckon he’d be a great companion to Simon!
The Cycrawler was created entirely within Photoshop with the background images being found at CGTextures, a great resource for images and textures!
