Caricaturist or cartoonist?
Hi Guys and Galls.
This is probably the most random question ever asked on the HUBB, but are there any cartoonists on the HUBB?:helpsmilie: Maybe all will become clear (if you can be bothered to read my ramblings). So the short short version of the background: My wife and I have decided to go on a two up RTW, and we have (like so many others) decided to make a website to document and promote our ride (among other reasons). Although I am a complete webmaster virgin I have decided to make the web-page myself (believe it or not!!). All is going quite well, until we (okay I) ran into a snag. We ran aground when we decided on a personal logo.:thumbdown: I am an okay true-to-life artist so I sat down with my sketchbook and had a crack. The result was that I never knew how much skill takes to draw a caricature or cartoon. It gets even worse when you try and incorporate a machine and some creative editing of the “people”. (The distorting things enough to make them exaggerated but not so much that it no-longer looks like the original is really a skill!!! One I don’t seem to have.:confused1: Hats off to those that can!) Bottom line is that you have to be so much better an artist then I am!:frown: So that brings us back to the question are there any cartoonists on the HUBB? If there is, are any of you willing to help? I can provide you with (bad) attempts, photos and details of what we want. What I cannot offer you is money but you will receive credit and our thanks on the website (how is open to discussion). As well as our unending gratitude and a gratuitous posting on the HUBB about how good you are! :D:thumbup1: I am not looking for an entire logo, just a colour caricaturist or cartoon of us on the bike (with a bit of a twist), I will then manipulate it into the rest of the logo via GIMP. I know this is a bit odd so don’t be afraid to tell me to B##### off! Cheers all Xander (with hat in hand!) |
This may be a long shot, but if you don't have any luck on here try the UKGSERS site. Go to the 'Scotland' section and give 'Ronno' a shout, I have seen some of his work and it's very good:thumbup1: I don't know him (I just lurk on UKGSERS), but he seems approachable:clap:
