Greetings Gazette friends! What a difference a week makes. From a nice, playful, and colorful cover design, to a grim, spooky, and dark one. Unless you spent the last week hungover from your moon-party, you might have noticed some red in the markets. But don't worry! After this week's issue was released it seems the markets perked up again. As you know, Kassandra forecasting always works.
Let's start with the swimmer. Originally my intention was to clearly depict Elon enjoying the warm blood bath. But in the end, the features were developed into more of an anonymous face, as only the references throughout the artwork are needed to suggest who it is bathing.
Like these adorable rubber doge-ducks, happily floating on the surface despite the fact they were recently drowning in a sea of red! I had a rubber whale in my sketch initially, (see in the timelapse video) but Redlion came up with this solid Doge-Duckies angle, credit to him.
Another indicia winking at the bath owner is a little Cybertruck toy car left on the ground.
Diamond hands to reference Elon's tweet attempt to stop the fire he ignited. Well, it worked for a short while, but the panic selling went in for a much deeper dip... Did you sell or buy? Finally, the Tesla logo behind his leg removes any remaining doubt.
Well we're here, and anything worth doing is worth doing well. This was a slaughter and noone was spared. The poor unicorn couldn't escape his sad destiny. Heck, he even got his horn stolen. Savages... I know this looks bad, but Unicorns are pretty magical creatures, so his resurrection is not unrealistic!
That looks like a big bear outside the window peeking in, but as soon as he arrived he appears to be moving on. For now... We hope he's not back too soon!

As always with my Procreate iPad drawings, I am showing you the whole process. At the end you can watch the extraction of moving parts I have animated in After Effects. The moody music was picked by Redlion to put a fine cream on top of the creation.
To the moon we go 🚀🚀🚀
