Sooooo...

For some reason, I started thinking about the game, Candyland and decided to research about it. I ended up reading about all the different versions and designs of the game and the characters(One I decide to research something, I can't stop). Just for fun, I decided to draw the character Mr. Mint, the classic 80's/90's version. According to sources, he is a peppermint lumberjack who lives in and cares for the Royal Peppermint Forest(the classic version of him anyway). Seemed pretty legit. Plus, the whole candy cane theme seemed most appropriate with the Christmas season upon us.

And I admit, he was my favorite out of the bunch.(You can't beat a peppermint lumberjack with candy cane-striped limbs who resembles a clown XD).

I never owned Candyland when I was little, but I remember watching other kids play it in after school daycare. It was the 80's/90's version. I remembered the characters once I read up on them again and even recalled some of the story that use to be on the box inset.

I drew this in pencil then inked it and colored it entirely with Copic Markers and added a bit of white gel pen. Yes, this is a character from a board game mostly for pre-schoolers, but what the heck, I went for it anyway, and I'm glad I did because it was a lot of fun to draw and I just plain enjoyed making the whole thing. It just felt so good to finally do a big colored pic and with my Copics which I haven't used for a long while. I'm very proud with how this came out and I just love how all the colors came out. I'm especially impressed with the clouds. I just wish my scanner was a bit bigger to fit everything in, but it doesn't really alter the pic. It took me pretty much the whole month, mostly because I would have to hold off because of work, tiredness, and other life stuff. At least I got it done in time for the holidays.

I actually have another Mr. Mint pic that I had drawn and scanned to color on the computer and was different from this one. It was already inked and I had started to color it, but then I decided to just go ahead and color this one, since it would be easier to finish as opposed to having to be at my computer the whole time. I still don't know if I'll still try to finish it.
Mistah Mint….yay. .
