WALLY Wallpaper Download + Process Gif
🕑 Added 2020-07-21 23:31:42 +0000 UTCHey folks. Thanks so much for sticking with me, even though there hasn't been as much content coming from me as before. Your support makes a huge difference in my life (especially as my partner's begun wracking up some medical expenses and has yet to be able to return to work).
I'm trying to get back into the creative swing of things, and painted a Wally for the still-planned, but as of yet unstarted Bats in the Ring series 2 I hope to do! This was both me getting back into drawing, and figuring out what his wrestling gear might look like.
It's 100% an homage to the Dragon Gate wrestler, Masato Yoshino, the SPEED STAR. (Actually, this painting wouldn't have happened without that screengrab I took of Yoshino. That pose of resting after pulling off a move was the inspiration for this piece!)
Anyway, I'm just glad I could get at least one wallpaper download out to you all this month. Thank you again.

Thank you so much, Ted! If I know I won't be showing the full body of a character in the final painting, I still often sketch out more of the body than I need to early on, in case I resize it and suddenly need to!

I really enjoyed the process GIF! It's amazing to see how much the drawing changes over the course of the process, like things changing size and whatnot. And the sign illumination was really interesting to me. Thanks for sharing!
