I’m currently listening to Boney M. – Sunny and drinking the worst iced coffee of my life. I am glad to show you a new illustration: “Roofie & Sunny” 🌞🏠❤️
Two days before the deadline, but I absolutely had to create this graphic. Whenever I have to take exams or have absolutely no time, I feel the strongest inner urge for drawing. I couldn’t reconcile it with my conscience to go so long without doing something creative. It was totally daft to waste so much time on it, as I’ve now lost at least half a day because of it. But I somehow feel a bit freer now and am getting back to work.
It was created in my attic apartment in an old building, where I feel like I’m melting like chocolate at a constant 30 degrees. I find it unbearable here and I’m cursing every day, but it has so much charm that I can’t say no.
The illustration is inspired by retro cartoon characters and was created using the vector program Inkscape. (By the way, I find Inkscape a thousand times more intuitive and easier to use than Adobe Illustrator, and I can create illustrations much faster.)
Unfortunately, I’m not very good with typography and finding a suitable quote. But a typography title is still missing. I’m still not completely satisfied with the color contrasts. What I would do next would be to try out a few filters.
Regarding the graphic: On the left is the character “Roofie,” who is being adored and kissed by “Sunny.”
He loves her, but also suffers when she becomes too clingy. You know how it is…
How much I would love to start a little mini-comic series featuring these two characters now. <3
Additional Image Description: (also for visually impaired)
The image is drawn in a cartoon illustration style and features two cartoon characters. The background is a round light blue circle. On the left is the character “Roofie,” depicted as an attic apartment or house with a roof.
Roofie is depicted in 3D. The walls of Roofie are light yellow and have a few red-colored bricks. The roof has red tiles.
Roofie has a tired look and is sweating profusely. Sweat drops are dripping from him, leaving a puddle on the floor. He is reaching out his arms with an open mouth. Steam is rising from his chimney. In his speech bubble, it says “?!”.
To the right of him is the character “Sunny,” personified as a female sun – approaching him from the side and embracing him with her left hand. The sun is depicted in yellow. Sunny has slightly red cheeks and eyelashes. Her eyes are closed as she kisses the roof of Roofie. Her left leg is slightly bent. Red hearts are rising. In her speech bubble, it says: “You’re so hot!”. Her kiss is passionate, while “Roofie” looks in a different direction, appearing helpless.
(Matching the hit: Sunny released in 1976 by Boney M. is a song that captures the essence of joy and positivity, with its upbeat melody and catchy lyrics.)
