My Inktober tree people get new life in a series of stickers! Their circular shape is perfect for envelopes and customizing cups for parties. One order comes with three sheets of stickers and 18 total tree friends to choose from.
"Shrumans 2" Mushroom Stickers Released on Etsy
Now that my new Cricut is operational, we will start seeing more stickers! My “Shrumans 2” stickers are a sequel to my “Shrumans 1”, which come both as a set and separately on my Etsy store!
With “Shrumans 2” I wanted to add more emotional range. I take my inspiration from the ridiculous and cute stickers found in Japanese stationery whose mascots have a life of their own. Think Hello Kitty and Sanrio, but there are far weirder and creative mascots out there. It’s more challenging to get characters to be expressive when they are rendered more realistically, but I think my experiment was successful in finding a balance!
Mushroom Character Time-lapse Video
I have been working on a few more mushroom characters to add on to my “Shrumans” series. I recorded my process this time so you can see how I build up depth using a smooth airbrush and a hard-edge “gouache” brush in Photoshop. I am still working on producing a sticker pack with these little buds, but you can find the first set of stickers on my Etsy store.
All of my Shrumans in their mushroom glory.
