Pantone 2019, Living Coral (updated)
🕑 Added 2021-11-21 01:56:21 +0000 UTCLowkey procrastinating on the 2021 look by updating some of the older Pantone looks, including 2019's Living Coral! You can see the old version in the second pic.
I didn't change the design too much for this one because it seemed to be a big hit and I liked this design a lot too. It was inspired by the surreal Bauhaus Ballet, but definitely more femme and glam.
But I did fix some anatomy things (like the hand and the size of the head), and I recolored the skin to match my new art style a little more. I also made the lineart slightly thicker and darker + added a shadow so it stands out against the background more.
Why am I updating old designs again?
Besides procrastination + my disgust @ my old art, a few weeks ago I asked in my IG stories on a whim if anyone would be interested in prints of the Pantone series and at least 100 people said yes! I'm a little skeptical and burned due to low sales when I made stickers a while ago, but I could see Pantone prints having more appeal.
I might hold a Kickstarter for prints instead of printing first and then hoping they sell. I like the idea of using Kickstarter to gauge who would actually be interested, and if the Kickstarter fails then no one loses any money.
But it would be another project to add to my plate, because I'll need to do some research to figure out how much printing + shipping would actually cost, and I might have to put together some fancy graphic design materials to promote the campaign. So I'll see how these updated designs perform on social media first!
