Strivfe - "YEAH YEAH YEAH" Title Card
Added 2019-07-26 13:38:59 +0000 UTCAs previously mentioned, I'm being commissioned to paint title cards for songs on a new album by my old friend Steve Ventresca, aka Strivfe, who I've previously animated music videos for when I was in college (and developed EEnE fanprojects with in high school, lol). This was the fourth title card painting I did, I'm posting it out of order since it's so summer-appropriate! Here's a directory of Strivfe-related links:

These title cards are based on the title cards that play before AKA Cartoons (Ed, Edd n Eddy and Brothers Grunt), so many of them include direct inspiration from specific title cards. This one includes references to 'Vert-Ed-Go' (the foreground), 'Pop Goes the Ed' (left side of backyard), 'Keeping Up With the Eds' (right side of backyard) and 'Ed, Ed and Away' (the background houses). This was one of the most challenging because I had to paint a large percentage of each of those 4 title cards and scale them all to fit in one image . This and the next painting are the most referential to the AKA Cartoon title cards-- afterward, I did more paintings that were original concepts.
Also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my Mom!!!

Here's the painting without text, followed by my original concept art:
