Got to rock this Serval sketch finally! Took me an hour to get the sketch down to where I felt comfortable with it. I tried to preserve the original sketch as best I could...
I decided to go with a classic fade in the fill to keep it simple, emphasizing Serval's dope letters and attention to detail. I painted this over the course of three nights, because the spot I chose ended up being pitch black; I had to check the piece in the mornings and then remember what needed tweaking with the next night.
The piece wouldn't have been complete with a proper hip hop character, so my man Twigs had the idea to big up MC Hammer as a tribute to the unique and memorable style he brought to the Bay! Of course, I had to rock his quote. The jury's still out on the hollow bits in the fill, and the top of R doesn't quite have that Serval-certified funk to it, but all in all, Im happy with how it turned out.
Thanks for the dope sketch Serval, painting your style really gave me an appreciation for how exact every line is in the sketch. I got one brewin' for you in the near future...
Yo Hesao! Two sketches for you, and a throwup with some long single movements 'cause I know you get down like that!
Ayo Poet! I finally got to paint one of those dope sketches you did for me. It was a tough choice, but I eventually went with this one because I thought it would be more outside of my comfort zone. I tried to color it in a way that emphasized the loose orb shapes of the connecting top bar. I embellished the E a little bit.
Yo Kaput! 2 outlines for you. The first one is supposed to play with the idea of perspective, with vanishing chunky 3Ds going in different directions. Second one is like a letter blend, with various suggest forms for each letter.
