Bluehippo Blatantly Blinds Babies

[BlueHippo]

So, I kinda put this off for a while, but I guess I'll finally make a thread.

Sooo, after spending a lot of time on Camp North I've picked up a lot of new influences, here's some stuff I put out over the last couple of weeks, with two links for each on fullsize in case one breaks.

I mean... you don't have to but... I hate jpgs... plus these images are effin' massive.

First piece: Let's all go to Camp North

Hey, here's an idea... why doesn't Camp North put together their own calendar?! Then you guys can pick your own winners! I'd be more than happy to help out with any printing questions you may have. Feel free to pm me! :D

[MegaMelmo]

I was about to make my own Camp North account, but I'm not sure if these pictures makes me want to anymore.

[Xaxrox]

Progressing fairly quickly there, Hippo.

Bravo.

[HandsomeJake]

Where can I purchase these? The first one is incredible.

[Psycedelic]

Damn dude! Way awesome!

DO NOT BE AFRAID YONG ONE, go for it, do what you heart tells you do to. Be wild.

For the record, I don't even think he's on CN, buttt, I'll keep that in mind. I know Nathaniel is getting a store together for the site soon, if it's soon enough, might as well try to make some calendars, it's the ideal time right now ;P

I dunno, send me $200 and I'll send you something back ;) Thanks, yeah that one took two nights instead of just one like the others (Hungry for Your Love aside)

[PieLover61]

Awesome work Mr. Hippo, it's like the happy side of life that doesn't exist with colours and pretty elephants with long, skinny, rainbow arms of joy... if only :(

[poxpower]

Genius

[Captain-Ben]

awesome colors!! I really love your backgrounds in the first two, the crumpled up paper and the spray painted cardboard is sweet. Did you just take pictures of them for the background and did the art on top of them on the computer? I really dig the mash-up

[WeHaveFreshCookies]

Your colours are AWESOME!!! They make me happy...

Oh it's there, you just gotta take the train to the other side of the rainbow, it's a nice place, you should come visit some time ;3

Well, the piece of paper and cardboard are stock images that I manipulated. The cardboard kinda looks spray painted, but I just simulated that effect kinda using flash, just put effects on top of that BG. Glad you liked it though :D

Okay so, got another drawing. The objective was to draw a picture for the theme "we're sharing hearts" and this was my contribution :)

[Obvious-M]

How do you get the pastel like colours?

[JessePants]

its about time you put up a post :3

[Blain-The-Pain]

I love the detail on the guy's hair and the texture in the background in your most recent piece.

[FoxAndSocks]

Who were some of your influences?

Regardless, nicely done you look like you have a good handle on your own style. But I'd like to see some Giraffes!

I guess people tend to like people... well my newest one kinda has a person, although they look poopie..

Okay well here's another.. came from an AIM conversation.. a fake band called "Bee Tea Double-You".. I really dislike the BG colors on this, and I ended up putting it in scraps on Camp North... but whatever, maybe you guys will like it :|

[fire-weasel]

I like the art and style in these :o the first one is cute and the Dimension STS9 one is just amazing to look at. I like these :P can I save these to my pc? I was just thinking these could make lovely desktop wallpapers. Also what exactly is this Camp North? Sorry I don't frequent the art forum I just come here every once in a little while. If you want to tell me about Camp North I'll listen :D and again great pieces here

[Asalraalaikum]

Amazing.

I like how the pictures look like they have wrinkles in it :) My favorite piece so far is We're Sharing Hearts.
