The 80s

Description

20/10/2016: The old vector portrait from 2012 of 'Orange Fridays' is gone, instead I want to share this with you.. I feel like I don't belong in this current timeline of this generation of people. I can't connect to anyone, I don't like the colours of today, I don't like the fantasies of todays, give me bold type faces, slick slim fonts, bright neon colours. Give me the weird beautiful sci fi / fantasy world. Give me bullets, give me swords, give me beasts, let me see dragons, let me see barbarians & strong female warriors. Give me back the local video stores!!!! So please throw me back in the 80s!!!!!

I mocked this up today, took me the whole afternoon to do following other peoples guides in building this 80s theme illustration. There's post and videos I wasn't able to follow because.. some either talk way too damn fast and they speed the video guide up to fast it's hard to follow their process. 

The fonts I used are of the following: Molot & Streamster

Softwares: Adobe Photoshop CS3 & Illustrator CS3

Tool: Wacom Pen (Intuos Draw)

Silhouette: Me. 

Listening to: New Retro Wave via youtube playlist.

YEAHHHHH!!! Read what you said - and I agree to the T!!

Today's world is drab, crap, and dire; this is what was once - vibrant, colourful, and its own voice!

This would make a great poster for the next Summer my friend!

Excellent colours, great graphics!!

BRAVO! :clap:
