This is my 400th Post of my Blog!

I don’t want just any random thing posted for this milestone other than a big Thank You.

When I first started this blog in 2009, I never would have imagined that I would be going strong 3 years later. Without all your love and support, I would not have continued with this Blog.

My dreams and hopes is that my Photography touches the hearts of everyone who sees it and that I can can bring a little joy into everyone’s lives. I hope I have succeeded.

You all have a wonderful day and I look forward to more great milestones with you all!

Wounded Warrior Project – Charity

20120609-001036.jpg

Hi!

So, I don’t know if a lot of people know what I do for a living, but I work for the Military Medical System. I’m an overrated paper-pusher really 😉

I love what my job does to support the soldiers. My passion is and will always be the arts but I am proud to be a part of a great cause.

So…as you saw in my earlier posts, I submitted some T-Shirt Designs for a Marvel Contest that will be held on We Love Fine http://www.welovefine.com/. The winning prize is $2500. Now, not that I couldn’t use this money; however, if I win, I’ve decided to ask the company to instead donate the money to the “Wounded Warrior Project.” I would rather the money go there than in my pocket. My heart is to give to others who need it most.

The “Wounded Warrior Project” is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to “honor and empower wounded warriors” of the United States Armed Forces. “The Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) works to raise awareness and enlist the public’s aid for the needs of severely injured service men and women, to help severely injured service members aid and assist each other, and to provide unique, direct programs and services to meet their needs.”

http://www.woundedwarriorproject.org/

These are the two designs I submitted:

They are still being reviewed and haven’t been put up yet. (They might not even accept the designs). Who knows!?

It’s the thought that counts!!!

Have a nice day Everyone!

Loki T-Shirt References

20120607-230849.jpg

Hi!

First: I do not own anything that has anything to do with Marvel. I did this for a contest and for fun.

A few people asked me what images I had referenced to do this shirt design so I thought I’d post the links here.

I designed a “Marvel” Villain shirt! I had to draw it in Inkscape tho so I know it’s not the best and I couldn’t use Helvetica like I would have liked too.

Images below were used as references.

Loki’s Suit:

Let me know if you have any questions! Inkscape is a great freeware out there for us poor people so I really enjoy using it. I hate that I don’t have all the features that I’m used to for Illustrator and Photoshop.

Have a great night!

Loki – Both Sides (T-Shirt Design)

OK, so I was at work and got INSPIRED! I started to draw this idea out for a T-Shirt Design! I used Inkscape because I’m too poor to buy my favorite program, Illustrator.

It was all drawn piece by piece in vector. I am still working on drawing on a computer without a tablet so I know it’s not too good. A lot better people out there but I had fun doing this!

I used some photographs and posters from the “Avengers” movie for Loki’s helmet.

The scarf was the hardest part. I looked at the photo of Mr. Hiddleston in a suit as Loki and didn’t realize how much designing really went into that scarf. So, I drew hundreds of tiny golden circles to get the same effect. It’s close enough. 😉

Let me know what you think!
