I've just finished fast sketches for 1UP illustration contest. They needed a shroom mascot as I understood. But after I've done it the owner of contest make it clear that my style is not cartoon (really?), I didn't used their colors (but I've used actually as you can see) and they already have their mascot. They just need to redraw it. So it's rejected. But anyway I am glad to draw this and thank you so much for your support, guys!
References
Always use references. You never know how mushrooms may look like if you are not living in the forest of course. Even there you can not find all the different beautiful types of them together. Internet can help. These real mushrooms bring lots of inspiration for me. I like it's colors and shapes. They look like something from other planet.
Sketches in Procreate
I've started to work on iPad Pro with Apple Pencil using Procreate application this time. It is automatically recording work in progress video so here you are.
Photoshop
Then I've worked in Adobe Photoshop as well. Addind details. Here is the proof if you need it.
Hi Dunsky, I'm interested in this contest I read the instructions, but I do not understand how to register in utopia, but it tells me that I should logout of steem. Then that's when I got confused, I thought it was like with other developments that linked the same password and ready.
But great entry and like the process, best of luck!
Strange! You should not log out from steemit actually :) I am loggen in at the same time here and there. This is same blockchain but just different user interfaces with a little bit different purposes.
Thank you, let me try again!
Read the rules of the contest carefully, mate and it's better to read them here in the comments ;)
You need to login with your private posting key on Utopian. Logging out of Steem is not a thing. logging out of Steemit manybe but that doesn't make sense because these are two seperate pages. Logging out of Steem Connect maybe because that is being used on Utopian.
Try hard my dear you will go fast
I am :)

Thanks...

Hi Dunsky, thank you for your design but I cannot accept it. It doesn't follow the contest rules. First of all you have created a new mascot and that was not the goal. We already have a mascot and just wanted you to draw it. You have not used cartoon-style but some kind of 3D character. You have not used the Utopian colors as requested. I am sorry.

Oh, I see now :) No problem! I can only draw like that. In this sense I think it would be fair for others if you include some references of your view what is "cartoon-style". My style is also cartoon for many people. I found Utopian colors too acid that's why I've tried to minimize them to the band on the character's wrist so I've used them acutally and you can find them by eyedropper tool in my work :)
But anyway no problem, I appreciate your contest because I've created all these crazy shrooms because you've inspired me. So I was glad to try and want to say thank you.
It is not a matter of cartoon-style or not. The colors are 100% required! And the mascot is already ready and you created some entirely different mascots. That's the main reason why I cannot accept it. I like your art but it has nothing to do with 1UP. :)
It must look like this:
But you have already earned 3 times more with this than all other contributors will so I guess no harm done.
No problem. Just for non native English speaking maybe next contest rules should be explained a bit more clearly.
