Megavolt Sneakers by zealousshadow on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

Here is something I am proud of - I am learning to make glow-in-the-dark effects on my tablet! I learned to use Gaussian Blur and to change the hue in addition to using large spray-paint affects and transparency. Good tips for the future!

For those of you going out tonight, stay safe! Maybe wear some glow protection to make sure you are seen.

The character Megavolt is copyright of Disney. I'm just borrowing him to practice my drawing. I had this idea after one too many days of helping a class of Grade 1's stack their chairs on their desks at the end of the day and put their indoor shoes on their chairs. Several of them had glow up shoes that would light up every time I plonked them down on the desks. It occured to me that Megavolt (electric supervillain of the Darkwing Duck franchise) would LOVE shoes like this. As I drew it, I knew I wanted him to be in a casual pose... and then it turned into an advertisement. Perhaps because I've run into a few 'what if' fanfics of villain redemption where the subject comes up, what would you do for a regular job if you used to be a villain? I propose... sell light-up sneakers.
