Here You Go Ship!!! The Grand Reveal!!!

Well, a week or so ago Brother Shipahoy 41 saw my thread post "I Can't Go Fishing... So I Drew Some" and he asked me by way of PM to help him out with designing and building him a cartoon like logo image or banner graphic for use on his website and in his CDC signature. He (however) (like so many others that I have worked with) did not give me a whole lot to go on by way of what he wanted; but he did say he wanted some kind of a cartoon like image of him in his fishing duds and it MUST INCLUDE him catching a crappie. He also wanted me to post this reveal on the main forum for everyone to see and so all could share comments amongst the brotherhood. It's what we do.

In art, a caricature is a description of a person using exaggeration of some characteristics and oversimplification of others. Caricatures can be insulting or complimentary, as you have all seen when used to serve political purposes or be drawn solely for entertainment or advertising value. But there is only one "itsy bitsy" snag that I can see with the whole thing: I am not a cartoonist or a caricature artist or even a real artist.

Nevertheless, here's what I came up with to try to help Ole' Ship.

God Bless You All,

Wayne aka Special K

Ya did good, a real nice job!

Nice

Looks good

I just got back from Bible Study. That is a very fine cartoon characterization. The shirt should say Lures by Carter instead of shipahoy41 lures to reflect the new website of LURES BY CARTER Please make that change in the design.

You have skills Wayne. Thank you. I pm ' d you my address so you can send me the bill. Thank you again.

Mike

Wait a minute -- maybe Ship IS Morgan Freeman!

You never see them pictured together.

Wayne, can you put (or draw)Attachment 208702 this crappie on the shirt (Transparent background) right below "Luresbycarter" Seems as if that open area needs to be filled. Then make the entire drawing with the transparent background so it can be used in a multiplicity of ways. I do not know how to use photo editor to remove the white backgrounds. Just curious if you would.

A fantastic job Special K

Ship that will look great for your sig .......... sir

again a great job guys

Hello Ship,

As I said early on: I will not use or manipulate any image (in any way) that I cannot prove is not copyright protected.
I have however added a component of my own drawing that I know will be safe for use.

Send me your email address by PM and I will send you the transparent background image in PNG format, because I don't believe the CDC platform will support PNG images.

Great!! I can't draw anything without a compass, a straight edge, and a curve. Even with these tools, I am limited.

So am I my friend. So am I. I thank God for great people like Wayne Kelly on this site whom God has richly blessed with this talent so that he in turn could be used to bless others. I did try my hand at drawing and painting and it was not nearly good enough. This was my first attempt this year.....see what I mean. :Rofl Last Saturday we were at the Gulf of Mexico in Biloxi Mississippi with the family reunion when this masterpiece (to me) was painted. I am calling it "Lost on the beach." A starfish had lost its way and could not find itself a way back to the water so it is attempting to hide from the sun by the rock. You know the rock had heated up in the sun. End of story. It is impressionist art. That is my impression and I am sticking to my story. I welcome comments and critique. As I said, I praise God for the talent, skill, kindness and humility of a great friend, Wayne Kelly aka Special K
