Painted those two characters very loosely in a sketchbook, after seeing Elements characters skate decks I wanted to make one with a character on it as well and I wanted to have some play with wet media again and made these two monsters. Once scanned I chose my favourite one and realised I want to create a much more vibrant and coloured almost 80s feel design, so I played with the design until I got what you see about.
After mocking him onto a skateboard and playing around with the placing so too much wasn't covered by the trucks and wheels we get this. I'm actually really happy with it, i think if it was an official skateboard it would stand out in a shop and hopefully attract people who like Spitfire or KROOKED skate designs. I wanted to make it look a little more interesting if you were surfing the web and wanted a gimmick so decided to put them in front of some spaghetti for no other reason than it would make people look, It looks good and it's a little gimmick which adds more to to design as a whole. PLAY NICE is my work under the brand of GRIMGUTS so i've given myself a lot of leg room to play around and be weird, so it'd just rude if I didn't experiment more.
As i afterthought I made this little repeat pattern, the reason for it would be when a skateboard is purchased and has to be shipped and wrapped this design could be printed on rice paper or tissue paper and go along with to, too add more personality to receiving the skateboard as opposed to bland packaging.
