“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.”
This week’s going all retro. I think I got James White’s awesome video game illustrations stuck in my head as I wanted to try and create that Nintendo Zapper for myself. Just something so slick and cool about the design of the device, as I kid I always wanted to remove the cable and just use it as my toy gun and be “that guy from the future”. I was a weird kid.
Initially I created the outline and the gun shape in Illustrator and exported the shapes onto multiple layers in Photoshop. There I built up each section of the gun’s shading and lighting effects while including a background and some text.
