THE BLACK SHEEP, GRAPHIC PORTFOLIO

30. -VOIDLEGENDS

"OKAY, ARE YOU GUYS READY?" TOM ASKS, LOOKING BACK INTO THE VAN.

"BORN," IVY SAYS WITH A WICKED GRIN.

RED NODS SLIGHTLY, BALLING HIS HANDS INTO FISTS AND THEN RELAXING THEM.

"OKAY. WE ALL KNOW WHAT WE'RE DOING?" RED ASKS.

"YES, RED. NO NEED TO BE SO ANAL ABOUT IT."

"I WANT TO GET THIS DONE," HE SAYS, "THAT'S ALL."

LUCA PULLS THE VAN DOOR OPEN, STEPPING OUT IN HIS 3-PIECE SUIT. HE HOLDS HIS HAND OUT TOWARDS IVY, WHO TAKES IT GRACIOUSLY, STEPPING OUT NEXT TO HIM. SHE INSISTED ON WEARING HER BEST CLOTHING, EVEN HEMMING HER DRESS TO FIT HER HEELS. SHE WAS PROUD OF HER LOOK, AND SHE HAD EVERY RIGHT TO BE. AT LEAST LUCA WOULD APPRECIATE IT.

RED EXTENDS HIS LEG BEFORE STARING AT CHARLES, SITTING IN THE BACK OF THE VAN WITH A COMPUTER IN HIS LAP.

"YOU GONNA BE OKAY?" RED ASKS.

"I MIGHT GET A LITTLE SEPARATION ANXIETY, BUT I'LL BE FINE," HE SAYS WITH A SMALL SMILE.

RED SHARES A SMILE BETWEEN THE TWO OF THEM. "OKAY, LET'S GO," HE SAYS TO TOM.

Oh, hello! It's been a while. I could curate a thousand excuses, but none would probably be satisfactory enough. But, I'm here! While I have been here to post useless messages on my message board, I haven't actually written anything or made any graphics in a couple of months. This was my first time making a graphic in a while, actually. So, because of that, you're not allowed to judge me.

I thought I'd participate in this contest because I have literally watched Chloe (-voidlegends) grow as a writer and a graphic designer, and I remember her participating in my contests when I was a smaller creator myself. And now, she's outshot me and I could be more proud of her. She is truly deserving of all that she has accomplished and I can't wait to see what she does next. So, congratulations Chloe!

Also, I know that these are some troubling times concerning the environment, civil rights, etc., but I want to remind you all to take care of yourselves during this time. It's exhausting to be reminded of the horrible things that are happening in this world, so it's better for us if we learn how to take care of our mental and physical well-being. I know I'm not on this app often, but you can always reach out to me and talk if you need to and I will always try to respond! I love you all, and I hope you are all feeling happy and healthy in your body! Don't forget to appreciate the good things!

THRILLER
There is so much that I wanted to do with this
cover, but I failed to realize that I have lost some
of my graphic touch over the course of time, so I
relied on what I knew I was good at! Manips and
adding a scratch overlay on top!

GIF PROCESS:

INEFFABLE
Oh, this was fun and very simple. But I've
always been the first person to say that, sometimes,
simplicity is always a good approach, especially
in graphics! So, I tried! Also, apparently, I've forgotten
how to use PSDs as well as I used to!

Okay, thank you so much for reading! Stay safe and I love you!
